Wow thanks technobear! It works, am so silly to have not tried this before. ifi should consider putting a note somewhere on their website that the 3.5mm can double up as a "pre-out" or "line-out", am not sure what the technical phrase should be. I even considered purchasing a separate iDAC...

Thanks technobear. But i don't really understand a couple of things. The iCAN SE has 2 inputs - that's correct. What do you mean when you say they are wired together? Does the 3.5mm input also double up as an output which I can connect to my speakers?

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to I can hook up my ifi micro stack - idsd black , itube2, ican se - to both my headphones and active speakers permanently? I currently plug in my speakers to the headphone jack of the idsd black, while the preamp outs from the idsd black goes to my...

That was my first reaction when I heard the HE560 as well. How do you think the HE560 scales with gear as compared to the HE400i? I would actually prefer something harder to drive and that scales well as I feel the HE400i doesnt scale much, and I could probably get better music with another can...

Thanks for taking the time to reply! One thing i never considered was how well the HE400i can be EQ-ed. I can't really remember now exactly how the bass of the TH900 was, but i do recall that i expected more -- especially since these are considered end-game bass. Maybe my expectations just need...

Just wanted to share a little about my journey with the HE400i. I'd label myself as an audiophile, and have spent tonnes on my home theatre setup as well as a pair of customs I got 10 years ago (and still use till today). Was never interested in headphones until I stumbled on this headphone...

Thanks for the confirmation. It's unfortunate that so long later, Fiio has not found a way to integrate system-wide EQ.

Just got the X5 iii, which I bought solely for listening to tidal offline. Am glad that tidal offline works flawlessly so far, but I didn't realise that I couldn't apply EQ to tidal offline. Did a thorough search and realised that the problem was raised more than a year ago. Has there been any...

Oops, i meant to type that I didn't realise the iDSD BL had a '3D for speakers' via the RCA output and a '3D for headphones' via the headphone jack. Thanks for pointing it out.

Does the Opus #1 work with Tidal Offline? I've tried going through multiple pages in this thread as well as the rest of head fi. I believe it does, but saw posts about the OS being an "Android-based OS" instead of a full on "Android OS" and got a little confused. Would appreciate some guidance...

Thanks for the info, i never knew iDSD BL had a '3D for headphones' via the RCA output. Thanks! Shall use it in this mode then.

Just wanted to chime in and extend my gratitude to all here who have helped. Today my Svara L arrived (i requested for the "Svara" logo imprinted on the cover instead of the escase one). Have no idea what the impedence is. For some reason, the bass is absolutely not what i was expecting. I've...

Thanks for the replies, just got myself an iCAN SE to use with the iDSD BL. Have only had 30 minutes to listen to it. What would be the best way to run both the iDSD BL with the iCAN SE? I understand the bass boost is done via an analogue signal process. Should I run the iDSD in pre-amp mode...

I just got a iDSD BL, and am pretty blown away by the step up in sound quality. Coming from the Schiit Modi2U + Magni 2U combo, I personally think the step up from the Schiit stack to the iDSD BL is even audible compared to my headphones direct to the computer. I listen almost exclusively to...

By any chance, would anyone know if the Campfred 2 or the Shozy Stardust / BK benefits from an amp/dac? Especially being 32 ohms. Also, just before the plug on the Campfred 2s, anyone have comments on its build? Particularly, the cable. There are hardly good pictures of it, and from what i see...

Sorry I haven't received the Svara L yet, will do a comparison once they arrive. Thanks, just dropped him a message. The CampFred2's retail for US$199 + US$25 for shipping. While i don't have the Realtek sound card, I'll give it a go with the Schiit stack and EQ. But i generally dislike the...

After lurking on the forum for years, and being poisoned by many products, I've finally decided to make my first post, lol. First came across this earbud thread about 6 weeks back and bought a load of cheap earbuds: - TY Hi-Z 32 - TY Hi-Z 150 (non-bass) - Monk+ - EMX500 I have the Vido, Svara...

Justin, or to anyone who has had past experience... Does anyone know what kind of shipping will be used. I'm thinking USPS.. But overnight USPS or something else? I stay in Singapore (Asia) so i'm curious to know if the shipping will take like 10 days or like 2 days... (my previous shipping...

Looking at the photos the Pico Slim and the position of the headphone jack, wouldn't a low profile LOD like the TWag Micro LOD stick out? I'm not sure.. Would anyone with a Pico Slim be able to confirm this?

That's certainly very comforting to hear Lil' Fish. And it definitely gives me an even greater sense of assurance apart from what I have. (: For those of you who are unsure, I would say that Fisher's customer service has been excellent. Quote: Originally Posted by Lil' Fish As a...

@kobayashi, let's put it this way. assuming (note im only using the word assuming), Fisher hearing did not do their research properly and does not have the required information and details that they would need for proper driver placement and etc, we would certainly be on the losing end - us...

Has anyone here reshelled any custom monitors? How do they sound?
