    iBasso DX50 for sale. Works great, has some minor wear on the corners. No case, no MicroSD, and no cables. Just the player (and the battery of course).

    DAC difference

    Yep! They're 250ohm headphones. I assumed a receiver would have a more powerful headphone amp automatically but obviously I learned that lesson the hard way. But that's fine, I just wanted something to power some speakers affordably.

    DAC difference

    Thanks. I don't have a demanding cartridge, just the lowest-level LPGear Vessel, whatever that model is. It's perfectly fine for me and the turntable I have. I have no desire to go up to anything more than this, so I'm going to assume that any phono preamp will get the job done. I think you're...

    DAC difference

    I have kind of a tangential question that may not belong here. So I understand the point being made here, it makes sense, and I agree with it. I just got a new DAP and even though it has all these different (and updated!) specs it sounds the same to me. I bought it for size and features...the...

    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    So here's an interesting thing. I'm noticing that song titles with an apostrophe are adding spaces afterward, like this. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it? It doesn't happen on my computer, it's not like that in the tag, and it doesn't happen on my old DX50...

    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    So I bit the bullet about bought the R3 Pro Saber...and I figured if it couldn't drive my Sennheisers I'd send it back. The good news is it does. It definitely sounds better on the high gain setting, though. Interestingly, it does power the 250ohm DT770s to a pretty loud volume...but the sound...

    Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP

    I'm considering buying this DAP. I'm coming from an iBasso DX50, which I'm becoming really frustrated with (tiny screen, the buttons are uncomfortable, the interface is really slow, etc). Will the R3 Pro drive Sennheiser HD598s by itself? I also have a pair of Sennheiser Momentum On-Ears, as...

    IEM Recommendations for a Fussy User

    So this summer I'm looking to upgrade my mobile listening equipment. Right now, I use an iBasso DX50 and Sennheiser On-Ear Momentum headphones. I'm set on upgrading the DAP to a Fiio M9, but the headphones are a different issue. I want portability, so it seems like I should branch out to IEMs...

    Supplementing Sennheiser HD598

    So, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD598s that I really like, but I'd like to get a pair of headphones with a complementary sound signature. For example, while I like the open, airy, bright sound of the 598s, sometimes I'm in the mood for a little more bass, or a warmer sound. What is a good...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    I still use mine on a regular basis. If I were in the market for a new DAP, I'd probably get another iBasso, most likely the DX80. But on a budget, you can't go wrong with this one. I used to use Rockbox and Doc's Final Firmware, but the latest official firmware from iBasso is fantastic and...

    DAP with Best UI and Filing System?

    I'd recommend the iBasso's. The UI is surprisingly good, and it allows you to read the microSD cards as a directory. I like this a lot because I can set up the file organization in a way that works for me. But iBasso's default indexing is also pretty good, it just takes a while to index. The...

    Basic Turntable and Headphone Amp suggestions

    Then I'll probably get the Magni. I could always use it with my iBasso too if I wanted to and it's not that expensive.

    Basic Turntable and Headphone Amp suggestions

    I'm looking to add a turntable and headphone amp to my listening experience. I live in a small space, so my rig has been entirely portable (iBassos and iPods). But I have a small area in which I can add a turntable, so I want to look into it. My headphones are Sennheiser HD598s and Sennheiser...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    I've been a Doc's Ultimate Final Firmware user for the past year or so. Out of curiosity, I installed the new 1.9.5 last night and it's my new favorite. I listened to RAM last night (Archive Collection, Unlimited Edition) and it's fantastic. 3 Legs sounds like they're all playing right next to...
