Can you post the link to the other ibasso headfi thread you mentioned? I have Shanling M6U and dx180. Big difference in sound signature between the two. I bought dx180 to have a distinct alternative sound to M6U and it’s exactly that. Listened to dx180 for a few hours yesterday and the...

Dx180 mango player file organization is a mess. Won’t group by any category correctly. I recall dx300 mango did not have this problem. Any pointers would be appreciated

Yes. For me, saving $50-75 not worth the risk

I forget to add that, as I understand it, volume does not control output power. Otherwise there would be no need to adjust gain.

Well, I gotta think there’s a difference between iems that are easy to drive and hard. And I take this to mean optimal or intended performance per manufacturer tuning. Maybe it comes down to listener preference. Some of my sets sound better to me at low gain especially as concerns nuances and...

I take it to mean short stemmed and wide barreled

Anyone know what M6U balanced output is for low, medium and high gain respectively?

Anyone else concerned balanced output, even low gain, will be too much power for their iems?

Stubby nozzles finally ruined Oriolus Isa for me which, otherwise, was perhaps the sweetest sounding iem I ever had (on those rare occasions when I could finagle fit). By ‘sweet’ I literally mean exactly that. And I tried everything. Stubby nozzles keep me away from Oriolus entirely—a shame...

Yeah that makes sense!

Hello Hive Mind! Please remind me: Does it violate some law of electrical circuitry to use an adapter to go from 4.4 to 3.5? So, the adapter would be 4.4 female & 3.5 male. I think that’s clearly, no? Thanks

Spinfit Omni tips sounding to me like a worthy match for PM. Deep insertion, and a wider aperture than Final tips. Experimenting with the sound

Are there low, med and hi settings for gain? Thanks

Hi. What do you mean by “digital noise infiltration”?

Also wondering how sound signature of dx180 will compare with Shanling M6U which I own and quite like? Wanting a less warm, more neutral source so I ordered dx180. It was either this or Hiby R6 III. I’d rather support ibasso especially with years of Hiby dap QC issues, eg swollen batteries...
