They should pair nicely but your DX100 will have more potential than the GR07s will offer. I've heard some good reviews on the 1964s. aamefford owns a pair and it may be a good idea to PM him about them.

I don't like plugging into the LO it sounds weird to me. I agree it does have more transparency but things sound off to my ears. Using the T1 amp though through the LO has even more transparency and much more balanced to my ears.

New DX100 owner. Just finished charging I and copied some flac files. When playing after a while the player starts being erratic, clicking, stopping until I hit play again.

I tried a factory reset but not sure I am doing this correct since the music is still there (I thought factory reset erased all data) and the menu stays in English (I thought after reset it goes to Chinese).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated about doing the reset or doing anything else that helps make the player run smooth.

Note: I did not install any apps and do not plan to do so (unless they will help with my problem) since I will use this only as a DAP. I do not have Wifi or BT tuned on.

factory reset would delete app and system data, but not files on your sd card, for example.

I just let it sit and then shut it down and turn it back on. With that, I have no problems, even if other apps are running but in general, I turn all apps off as I don't want them running anyway. 

Maybe that is it. I have been listening for almost an hout and so far so good. I am using the built in amp and it sounds great.

A couple of questions. Is the Line Out really a Line Out? Since it is affected by the DX100 volume does this not mean that it is not bypassing the internal amp section which a LO should?

If you use an external amp what do yoy set the DAX100 volume at?

Need some help on the playback~~~~

I use to have the ability to shuffler through the whole directory, however after I choose some songs using album, it can only shuffler within that album.

Is there is a way to get out of the local shuffler and going back to the global ones?

I am using the new 1.2.7, anyone know the answer?

I think as of now you can only play all music in shuffle mode from what I remember. Seems they lost that function. I'm not sure if they are gonna fix it but it may be a good idea to contact them and ask that they implement it again.

Gents, I think I have just had a light bulb moment!

For a few days now I have been thinking just how awesome my DX100\JH16 combo sounds. Its hard to describe, but everything sounds much "fuller" with a subtle but noticeably increased sound stage and air. Mids and Bass have much more weight and impact to them and seem more forward. Although, the JH16 can't be called "weedy and thin", the sound I was getting before was much "thinner" and more analytical than it is now. Now my music sounds just that bit more analogue and warmer.

I have just noticed that my Gain is set to High!

So it seems that my combo works REALLY well on the High gain.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions?

Can anyone explain to me why it should sound so much better on the High gain - even at a lower volume? (in simple laymans terms ;-) )

I had always assumed that the High gain was for hard to drive headphones and not for improving IEMs?

What exactly is Gain?

Can the High gain damage my JH16 ?

The only slight downside I have noticed is a slight hiss in between tracks and on very quiet tracks.

Have I finally understood why people choose to audition and use different amps for headphones?

I have been trying to sell my JH13 as I found them too mid\bass light....maybe I will have to give them a go on the DX100 with the High gain now!

All my experience so far has really been with DAPs and IEMs. I do have an IBASSO D10, but have never really noticed this dramatic improvement in the sound.

Cheers

When browsing your music, press and hold the "All Music" tab and select "Playall". It'll start playing the first track on your DX100. Enable shuffle and you're good to go - it'll now shuffle through all your music.
