    Did you have/are you having any issues with interference with either unit?

    I‘m usually using it with a wifi-only iPad, so no problem there. The few times I used it with my iPhone, yes, I heard quite some interference every now and then.
    The new unit has two USB-C cables in the box, a shorter and a longer one, both different from the one my original Sparrow had. The USB-A cable I’m using seems to be the same.
    EDIT: Didn’t test the new unit on the iPhone yet.

    In a little A/B-testing I did today, I actually preferred the Sparrow in most cases over my Jot 2 ESS: More detail, much better soundstage in music that provides it, better controlled bass. (With an Ananda.)
    Couldn't compare the two up to now, as I bought the Jot as an upgrade/replacement when the Sparrow broke. (Didn't have a "real" headamp until then.)

    Interestingly, there was one album where to my ears, the Jot provided better results, including more detail: The 2021 remaster of Fourplay by Fourplay.
    The soundstage comparison I did with the Il Gardellino recording of Jomelli's Missa pro Defunctis.

    The HD650, however, is much better on the Jot than on the Sparrow. Much more detail, a bit brighter, less veiled, generally more enjoyable.
