    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    I never thought you leave them drained. They way you wrote it, it seems like you drain them regularly, and charge them. In my head, draining is emptying something. My point was, lithium batteries should never ideally be completely drained. Most phones etc. shut off before they discharge...

    Draining lithium batteries is not recommended. They should be recharged after use and often, ideally never discharging them completely.

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    Yup. No reason it shouldn't. It must simply be otg at both ends, which necessarily is the case with the SE as well :) PS: Got the previously mentioned usb c to micro cable from ebay, and it works perfectly. Bought two as it basically costs 8 bucks or something, with free shipping.

    Can confirm. Ordered two cables for an almost symbolic price, and free shipping. Works good. Really no reason not to get them.

    Just a bit of necroing here, but could also be a bit helpful considering its still available. Thanks a bunch for the link. Tried several alternatives in stores but no dice. Hopefully my Huawei will play nice with this one. A really good price and free shipping so I bought two. :)

    Wow.! Excellent work man, and thanks for taking your time to write up these observations. These will be very helpful when I soon will get my first non-stock amp. Cheers!

    You're not using any kind of eq or loudness perchance? Sometimes, the signall will become distorted once the soundwaves overstep their boundaries. Btw, redarding qc, the store I bought it from only have hade one return due to qc issues.

    Aune T1 USB Tube DAC+ SS Amp Discussion Thread ***See first post for FAQ--Updated on 02/14/15***

    I just feel the stock one is a bit harsh and cold. Not exactly what I want achieve with a tube, as I wanted to add a counterweight to my bright PS1000's. It hasn't been burnt in yet though, so I cant tell for sure how it pans out over time.

    I can only confirm what the others are saying. It is more than enough capable of driving these babies well. I would get another tube though, as the stock one is kind of "not excellent", but the amp itself is more than sufficient enough for driving my 650's. If I weren't so darned curious, I...

    Haha! Good one. Remote controlled skater. Actually I'm longboarding now and then (in a sense ehere I dont do stuff I can die from).

    Grado Fan Club!

    I think I will use it for both purposes. I probably will usually keep them at the ready when I'm at home, but if I feel that I will take a break from using them, because of either going away for a longer while, or perhaps focusing on other equipment, I will feel better knowing that they are...

    Hey guys. Just received some new, original G cushions for my PS1000's today, which is nice, since the ones I had had been used by bunches of others in a store (yes, it was a heavily rebated demo model). I also received a seemingly "original" Grado PS1000/GS1000 box which seemed perfect, although...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Good luck :) I would be happy with what I got. All amps sound a bit different, so the Xonar probably have its own "thing". You could have gotten a very decent combined dac/amp for that price however, just so you're aware. I dont know about latency on most dacs though, which also is a point when...
