Are there any portable cans with ESW10 like sound signature + isolation? I use it in office and it suits me great, but not at the coffee shop.  I have tried some other cans (D1100, DT250, SRH840, Pro900), they all have better isolation which is what I need but so far I still like the esw10 sound...

I just received the mx1, its such a great little device! Had a listen for few hours with the little dot hybrid. There is a big solid bass boost to my ears compared to the ibasso d10 dac, and also better clarity, vocals are more in your face.    Anyone tried to hook this up to an ipad using...

The manual says you need circuit revision 2.0 or higher in order to use 6H30 type power tubes. How do I check if my amp is in this category?

I thought the preamp out will bypass the desktop amp and let the A5 amp does the job. Is that still double amping?

Can someone please tell me how can I hook up an amp with the card? I have no idea where the lineout is

I want to try that chair, but have a feeling it gets dirty easily. I find people dislike these chairs when they are into fully padded ones with leather. Some of my friends like their staples chair more, I guess they prefer the sofa like feeling instead of sitting straight.
