I just got DX9 and it sounds fabulous with Meze Elite on High Gain. Neutral and tons of details. I was not wanting to spend money on a Chord Hugo TT 2 and think this is good enough

I’m enjoying my new pair of Elites from the FIIO K9 Pro, it’s a satisfying pairing. My source is a Cyrus CD-XR with SPDIF into the K9. Lovely way to listen to my best CDs

I am using the same setup and with error correction it takes a while, but I am blown away by how better the WAV sounds over Flac. Given the fancy SOC on the SP3000 you'd think they could uncompressed the Flac and buffer it to sound the same as wave.

I have experimented with the AK CD Ripper II and flac vs wave. There is a really big difference to my ears. The wave is more coherent and less muddy sounding than the flac rips. In fact for some CDs it turns it from a MEH experience to a oh my goodness that CD is great. I am using a Focal...

If anyone was considering the Fostex TH900 mkii with the Diablo it pairs very well with "normal" power. I found eco a bit lacking and i was always reaching for the volume pot. With normal i am at about 10-11 O'Clock and the sound is perfect without as much need to adjust the volume. The red...

Recently got the Fostex TH900 mkii in past week and only been listening for a few days from the new iFi Diablo Headamp with the stock cable. I must say this is the best headphone i've listened yet. Even though these cans are under 30ohms i find they need a bit more power to sound their best...

When using the supplied power supply into the USB-C Jack is there any kind of galvanic isolation to the DC power supply to prevent some noise affecting performance? That would be my only concern.

Yeah i noticed the lack of reviews from popular channels. I am enjoying the Diablo and just added a pair of Fostex TH900 mkII to the mix, sounds like a wonderful combination. The DAC is very resolving indeed. I was listening to a Piano piece on MQA (Lang Lang Bach Goldberg variations) and i...

I was using the Diablo via an iPhone CCK and was pretty impressed, but i decided to make use of the included iPurifier3.0 with a bog standard USB cable i had. The sound was more veiled, separation poorer with less dynamics. I pulled the trigger on an iFi Mercury USB cable as i've had improved...

I've been listening to my Diablo for a few days now via Tidal and I must say I am very impressed. I am using the DAC/AMP with Denon AH-D5200 out of the single ended port and it certainly makes these cans sing at the eco power settings. Drums, percussion and orchestra sound dynamic with lots of...

Out of interest i tried a pair of earphones in my iBasso Bushmaster and got sound just fine with the jack fully inserted.  It's my guess the 3 pole jack on the NO cable is not compatible with some devices.   I am frustrated as the Combo of the iBasso Bushmaster and NO is very nice.  I found the...

+1 on Skylar replying to buyers of this new headphone.  I just got a pair of night owls and the problem i have with the cable is that with my portable ibasso amp (Bushmaster) i don't get sound in both channels if the cable is fully plugged in.  If a pull the connection out slightly it sounds...

Totally agree this head phone has well exceeded my expectations. I am usually a cable snob and insist on using portable dacs for best sound quality. However Spotify at extreme bit rate the bluetooth stream and built in dac on the crossfade has really impressed me. I find accoustic music very...

Hi folks I ended up returning my K702 Annis and going with Beyerdynamic T51p.  It sounds great with the P1 unamped.  Volume around 100 and its really delivering the goods now.

Folks I took delivery of a p1 yesterday. I'm using a K702 65th anniversary as my cans. It could power it on headphone mode but sounded thin and lacking body. So I then used the advice on this thread and set earphone mode and vol max out to my fiio e12. This sounded a bit better but lacked...
