Oh my god! Lmao, where were you a week ago! 🤣 Atleast I learned something new. And I probably got a safe branded battery that I know what it is (from LG, the Korean company). @mbirand But yeah it is almost plug in play. From that link, you need the one listed in the drop-down box as...

That Analog Squared Paper portable tube amp company made a DAC? O.o What DAC chip is inside it?

Finally got around to replacing the 18650 batteries. Quite the adventure and learning experience. Hugo 2 uses two 18650-sized batteries with a built-in battery protection unit. The original 18650-batteries only hold 2600mAh & are only rated for 1.6A. Meaning...you can pretty much replace the...

Hugo2 has really old Bluetooth, does that make it count as a radio equipment?

To build on this micro-usb has its pros as well. Mechanical advantages and not just bandwidth. There is a disadvantage to reversible usb ports like USB-C and Lightening. They inevitably become very picky after any warping happens. This is because they have no hardware to anchor itself. While...

5 things I would like in a Hugo3. 1) Extra Hot dac signal so I can use it with pre-EQ reduced gain and other effects without losing much fidelity. 2) They could make a custom filter that allow for a more aggressive treble roll-off. Like a really "slow" filter. 3) Find some way to make a more...

Any luck? Last resort I can think of is using a hair dryer to loosen the glue of the backplate, pull it off and unplug the ribbon cable of the battery temporarily.

Now we wait 3-months. I should make myself a dual 3.5 balanced cable in the meantime.

Sometimes a slow charge off a pc/laptop can help with random usb capable electronics. No idea if that will be relevant in this case. Luckily you are still near the store you got it at. I'm going to guess it wasn't used much, so little so that the battery report system hasn't ever got to be...

You in for a treat. Try it out with your planar headphones, I find the flavor of bass the akm4499 gives is such a nice compensation to what they need.

very tempting price

What about your current generation plugs? What are they made out of? Brass with a coating? Or Pure copper with a coating?

Are the Eidolic plugs considered copper cored plugs? Or brass plugs with a gold coating?

My problem is still ongoing. They seem to have lost my item, but wont admit it. And are trying to stubbornly convince me to buy one with a offensively small discount.......of which I could probably buy a used one for less...... So I am stuck at limbo, do I proceed with the discount, or just...

This guy claims to understand all about DIY'r stuff, but can't comprehend that driver cost is irrelevant to the driver's potential...... I can't wait till this mk4 gets its own Thunderpants following.
