Thanks, I'll give it a try. A button holding trick seems to have gotten the iBasso back...yes, yanks, it did work, thanks again!

glad the ghost came badk with music! yay!
after using my SoundMagic HP100 to burn in my DX90 for about 450 hours the HP100 are simply superb!  Full accurate bass, fluid silky midrange and sparkling
highs. a true pleasure out of my Dragonfly v 1.2 dac with iUSB power and gemini double headed cable.  really black background and great dynamics out of macbook air.
great big soundstage and the tone is right on, with great pace and rhythm. what a nice surprise! grab an open box one if you can on the big A warehouse for 129$ and you'
be smiling all night...really musical! a home run by SoundMagic!  they sound good right out of a good android phone, but with the upgraded source chain they
are off the hook!

Bit of headphone history to discover...

The man who started it all (and was foolish/unsophisticated enough to take no patents and make zilch...)
(my family is planning on putting his picture up and using it as a dartboard :D)



More Dogwalk Discoveries, busy yest, couldn't post more

For classic rockers-really had me bopping the first part of the walk :)



Cool recent track, discovered on TheAlternateSide...(dig the dissonance)



And, an exciting 80's band reunion (this is an older tune...)

Downloaded DSD "O Brother Where Art Thou", from Acoustic Sounds, just to see how it sounds. Well, it sounds really nice (though, as usual, the disclamer that I have no other source to compare it to. Did sound great through GO 1K/Senn 650's)

I've got a few of those, and the THINKSOUND ON1 remain on my head most of the day, a lovely  balanced woodie sound that is wonderfully tuned, and a good bargain for the quality of the sound.
the RE700s are better for making mp3 music and streaming music sound palatable, and have better bass for EDM...but have treble issues for other stuff. great late at night...
Zero Audio Carbon Nano Singulos are still a great sound in an iem for multi use that is a good bargain..   Ultimate portable rig: get a big backpack, a David Berning tube  microZotal, power- able by a 12 v battery pack and Senn 650s. will boggle your mind and ears using Geek Out and a laptop  thats the over the rainbow solution....equal to a 25K$ home system and usable in the rainforrest..
