Quote: really really well. crap player sounds like crap, etc, you hear the character of source/amp.

Quote: No, it's not true. S:flo2 use dual dac chips all the time. rockchip decodes music formats, dac converts digital to analog, but it's balanced, therefore you need tda1308 to convert it to unbalanced signal and from there it goes to LO, or opa2604 chip and HO. it use the dac all the...

Quote: HO=internal amp from LO s:flo2 use 2 dual DAC chips and it use only one channel from each, it drains more battery, they say it improve channel separation and it's also good for marketing.

Quote: HO: 64 will be louder than 600 LO: 600 will be louder than 64 imo.   So it will be clean and loud enough, but still it needs proper amping to get the most from it. And also, DT-990 are not so portable, are they?   Someone here said 600 was too loud to listen to it. If...

Quote: Yes, I said that my 43ohms Fischer Audio DBA-02 is quiter from LO than 250ohms DT-990 from LO. DT-990 has lower sensitivity. I think it's because of electrical characteristics of LO in general.   In HO, 250 ohms DT-990 are quiter than 43 ohms DBA-02 like it should.  ...

Quote: Quote: I did and it depends on headphones you try, the higher the impedance of headphones, the louder it will be. LO is designed for high impedance devices that's why on other amp it is so loud, someone here with 600ohm's Beyerdynamic's complained it is too loud, from my...

Quote: volume into 250ohm is ok to me, now my 40ohm sony is same as HO's or a little bit quiter, so I'd think of LO that it was designed to output to higher impedances, so maybe that's the reason your 600ohm's are too loud.  

No I don't use EQ because of the reason given(quiter output). It seems like when I slowly increase the volume by the volume control, the rise is not linear, mainly it stucks somewhere in 90% and then it stays the same, so 90% and 100% according volume control produce the samel output to me.  ...

Is it bad to play directly from LO to headphones? :)   Can it damage the phones? or how about adding resistors in the path? LO is loud enough and is cleaner than HO. HO of S:flo2 can't drive my DBA-02 enough, I won't try LO +DBA because of too much power in it.   I plugged it directly to...

Quote: What the hell? So after few months after 3 hours the battery will be dead? Next time I will buy iPad, it will last longer, the UI is great and it will be lighter than S:flo2 + APC, lol.   Note: I like S:flo2 and I think the money was worth it, but if this happen, I'll be...

Quote: Good one . I'd be interested, if adding some audio-grade capacitors after battery will improve the sound.

I have a new experience: DBA + water = distortion.   How? I went running with it and it's over the ear, so on top of the earphone is a place for cable and water(well, sweat) went in that way. I let it be for 2 days and then when I played something on it it distorted significantly on right...

So I got my s:flo2 today, I'll post impressions later.   I got mofi case and all accessiories and for those who happen to have a Mac, I can tell you something: it work on Mac OSX 10.6. First time it disconnects, after unplug and plugging in it works, so File transfet on mac is possible.  ...

Quote: Can you post a link to a graph of HO? I just found one, S:flo2 LO + t3, but nothing about HO graph. Actually LO + amp could be worse than s:flo2 HO, for example with fiio e5 as an amp, or some others that can't handle LO volume.  

Quote: yeah, from the day I got DBA's I listen to jazz more and more
