The iQube Enigma (Review Updated) - Page 9

Now that's simply *great* !

Very instructive video and very good presentation. Yea, it was a little blurry but you I got the message which is the primary thing to get across.

x2!

Questions about AC power & recharging

1. Can the amp be used with just an AC adapter, sans batteries, as a home amp?

2. Has anyone determined which of the Radio Shack PS adapter tips work with the iQube?

TIA.

now this is more like it, there is very very little on youtube by way of audo gear, amos headphones etc, yes, there are plenty of dap vids, but its cool to se some of the other gear on thre too.

Good job, I vote dexdexter official head fi iqube guru lol

charger plug dimensions

hello, iv'e purchased this amp and got this pdf from han's. say's on the pdf that the outer pin is 2.35mm and inner is 0.7mm but you can get away with 2.5mm on the outer dimension, inner dimension is the same 0.7mm, that's the smallest one at my local shop a it fit's fine. hope that helps.

Well done DD. I've opened mine a few times now and gently messagged the spring clips but I wish I had your video for the first time round. There are 2 key things in your video from my point of view.
1) It's hard from the instruction manual to know whether the technique for opening the cover requires brute force or finesse. The video clarifies that.

2) The manual doesn't include that step that you added on the web and in the video about partially closing the 1 spring side before attempting to open the second side. That missing piece of information was crucial for me.

I thought you did a good job on the video.

Hopefully Hans will see it as useful but I'm fairly certain his customers will.

Without knowing the economic consequences I also thought the rechargeable battery suggestion coming with the unit was a good one.

Neither of these two suggestions require Hans to forgo his design goals nor redesign the unit and both would reduce or eliminate the single greatest weakness of this otherwise totally enjoyable unit.

My Sanyo EneLoop batteries came today and are now installed. Probably will not do this again for a long time and glad of it.

Haha, that's great, Jeff! Will be quite helpful to a lot of members on the boards here. It's actually quite simple, that is, if you know the trick. Good on ya, mate!

It looks easier than it really is until it is done a few times to loosen those tabs.

Finally picked this up from my old address. I can't believe how small this thing is!

Make sure you report your impressions for your iQube.

Thanks. It's very helpful as i got a spare one in my toolbox.
