x-post with Relic - exactly! I just prefer it with the amp.. Oh well, thicker stack than I hoped for!

It drives them fine, it's just that the external amp makes the sound a load better. I suppose it should be no surprise - external specialist amp does a better job than internal one.

The dx90 is acting as a digital transport, so the volume does nothing. Therefore I have it at zero...

Bit late to the party, but just got a Mojo... Compared to my Ibasso DX90, through Westone 4R's, it sounds just a little nicer. Not earth shattering by any means, but just a touch more detail or clarity. However... I thought this had an amp that would "drive any headphones". Using my Fidelio...

I always thought the sound improved on the DX90 after 10 to 20 mins of listening from cold. I wonder if the Pisen has some odd or unwanted temperature/current/voltage behaviour that the Samsung doesn't.

I have to say, I don't buy any of this "battery makes any difference" nonsense. I am reasonably qualified in these kind of things (but not nearly as much as others here).   Out of curiosity, though, to prove how right I am, I bought a genuine Samsung battery.   I am here to report how wrong...

Where did the bass and imaging go? 2.0.5 sounds boring, flat and "cheap". The slow roll off seems to have more of an effect on some tracks than others - to evaluate it I used a track of a person counting from a test disc. The filter switches in and out immediately with an audible "click". The...

They are 325i. I have had them for years, and hardly ever use them. No bass, slight channel imbalance, uncomfortable and a couple of massive treble spikes that make it sound so very coloured and very piercing if the music has anything in those frequency bands.   However, the treble is accurate...

NP. But note that my original assessment was at 0 hours on the DX90, and my second assessment was with about 300 hours burn time. In my experience burn time does make positive changes, albeit small ones.

Interestingly, I just spent a few hours at the desk today listening to my ODAC (via Forza into Meier Quickstep, and W4R). I had previously compared this to the DX90 and found them too close to call. Today I realised that the treble and imaging is better with the DX90 + W4R, so spent 10 minutes...

Placed my order at HeadDirect, but it was denied at the last stage as I live in the UK.   I was directed to electromod, who don't list the 560. They do list the 500 for $1185 + an unknown delivery charge, almost exactly double the $599 from HeadDirect.    Disgraceful, and very disappointing.
