That is why I am so happy camping with PB5 and D16 atm. Yes, digital transport can matter a lot. But this combo can sing out of anything and make it so very satisfying to hear. All the layering, the depth, effortless dynamic, details and textures together with Analog density, liquidity. There...

With D16 ? That would be FLAC

I think you may be confused. The higher the DSD rate is the higher the noises, but they are pushed up further the upper spectrum by aliasing and hence antialiasing have to be more aggressive, the same as filtering. Some people like to enjoy higher DSD rate, which I was into. But it isn’t...

I wrap them, it is more secured, but also can leave indent on the leather cases. But that’s ways better than risk dropping it lol

Velcro is always the best solution :)

Is it (moonaudio) shielded Coax cables ? Have you tried stock Coax cables ?

The D16 is very analog sounding while still remained neutral. The dx320 is neutral and still somewhat digital In comparison

the dip from lower mid on 820 bothers me. Not sure how this one will be

In my opinion and experiences, the D16 is priced too cheap for it performances.

They are JST 10 with pitch of 1mm. Mine is done by myself. I recommend using at most the size 30 gauges and not larger

Oh yes! If you love pb5, then D16 will bring another world to that love :). Definitely a yes from me

Well, honestly, I still love PB5 as an addition. It elevates the strengths of D16 with the exception of the warmth signature. It depends on preferences, though as much as I love neutral/references signatures, I found that warmth is still enjoyable as well. I was just stating the case in which...

Yes! And honestly, PB5 has the slight warmth that I had to tackle with modification. Not much, but still something. You gotta try it first though. IMO, the D16 is the one that is most valuable. It has everything one could ask for, unless headphones is demanding l, then adding Pb5 is a great...

It depends for iems or headphones ? For iems, I think it gives a bit too much of the warmth together with the more dynamic punchiness, it may be too much for some people. IMO, if I use iems, I use it directly from D16. Unless I use headphones which is most of my use case, I pair with D16 for...

True, I thought I saw them advertising for hi-res LOL!! Was never much into smartphones with DAC/amp

Xperia is also one of those audiophile smartphones which is very expensive. Eventhough it only sports 3.5mm

I agreed! Still, as long as you are a fan of iPod seeking for a phone as well, this is a good one

A mixture and blend of all in one can only be so good. It won’t be anywhere as technologically advanced as dedicated DAP. Simply forms to spaces being limited while cramping in too many features. If anyone is more serious about portable hi-fi, going the route of Dedicated high end DAP or...

I am not impressed because it has a DAP/DAC features. But I am hugely impressed by the specifications and the pricing …. Wow

Better than android and even windows PC, except Linux. The best of it would be a Linux and Raspberry combo

I do agree that for some reasons, Apple and Mac are very good with usb quality for music transports

Me <=== can’t wait for Ibasso new products

I do agree with Alex findings as I also have a friend @purk who can also confirm this. I have been very interested in getting DX260 for digital transport, but nowadays, my budgets is very limited. I don’t doubt it that Dx260 is a better digital transport source just due to the new Gen 2 FPGA...

Anyone is into pool games ? I recently just had a chance to put in a table into my place and wondering if anyone else out there is also into the extra hobby
