    O2 AMP + ODAC

    So, in theory, there is no way to get rid of the power surge 'clicking' sound you hear when stopping music?   I get this sound when stopping a video, exiting an app in which music or video is playing, and exiting a game. It's pretty annoying.

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Clicks are present here as well. Rev B model too.   I have however kinda got used to it by now, as it doesn't happen all that often. From what I have read, it could be an IRQ conflict between the USB port being used and other power sapping devices. This could be the case with my situation, as...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

      JDS has instructions which anyone who has used a computer already knows. LOL!   Yeah, I'm trying the free version of JRiver. Foobar2000 has always done well with audio quality for me, but the interface, although highly customisable, has never been my cup of tea, even after many hours of...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

      Thanks. I haven't tried JRiver. May give it a go now. May also give Foobar2000 another go too, hoping I can find the kind of customization I need this time.     I'm on Windows 7, but this sounds like an interesting line of view to approach, because maybe exclusivity can be enabled in a...

    O2 AMP + ODAC

    Have the Objective2 and Odac Rev B and am wondering whether anyone has found a valid solution to bit perfect audio using this setup. I read about the clipping issues with ASIO, but I am getting a similar, less severe problem with WASABI on MusicBee. Not much of a Foobar2000 fan, as I do not like...

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issue

      Yeah, its setup on Line Out. No EQ settings are turned on, because its unchangable and set to off when using Line Out.   Bass sounds bloated on any gain setting, just less so on high gain strangely enough.

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issue

      Your thought about bass boost is spot on I believe. With bass boost on, it has a small effect, but does increase the bass somewhat, but not as much as I would expect for such a feature.    At the moment I've been testing my setup with three IEMs. They are the Narmoo S1, JVC HA-FXT90, and...

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issue

      Yeah, tried a few old firmware downloads, but they all state that "Version to old' which FIIO confirmed was the case with their newer X1 devices. Its sad that they changed sound characteristics and then force us to use it but blocking downgrades. I heard it was much more detailed before they...

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issue

    Hi,   Sorry for the repost, but just found the FIIO sub thread part of Head-fi.   Recently got an X1 and A3 (E11K) combo, pre-installed with Firmware 1.6.   After listening to the combo for a while, I have to say that the sound lacks clarity due to bass bloat, which is overwhelming the...

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issues.

      I read that the bass of tight, which it is when using headphones. The firmware discussion took place on the Fiio website, where I have also started a thread. A bunch of people reported what sounds like the same issue I am experiencing with the bass overpowering everything else, and clarified...

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issues.

      I get what your saying. The bass sounds significantly better on any on my standard headphones. I like the idea of IEMs for mobile use though. They scream beautifully on my O2, but sound dead on my iphone, hence me buying additional sound equipment to improve my mobile situation. Volume is now...

    FIIO X1 and E11K Combo Sound Quality Issues.

    Hi,   Recently got an X1 and A3 (E11K) combo, pre-installed with Firmware 1.6.   After listening to the combo for a while, I have too say that the sound lacks clarity due to bass bloat and a serious lack of the high end.   I have compared the sound to various sources, including desktop...

    Dunu TITAN Series (new for 2019: Titan 6) [Page 196]

    How close does the ES model come to the sound of the standard Titan1? Just curious.

    Urgent Choice - X2 / HE400i / DT880 / DT990

      I ended up getting the 400i as well. It's a great piece of equipment. I really like the sound signature, especially the mids. I'm still keen on the X2, and will definitely get them in the future when the time comes for a change. Warehouse deals do not deliver to where I am, so I'll have a...

    Cheap Portable Dac/Amp for iPhone6???

    Anyone know whether its the iPhones limited DAC or the amount of power which causes the quality of decent IEMs to fluctuate so much compared to other sources? Volume is ample, its just, quality in completely incoherent.
