    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    New iSine 20 owner here. I had an interesting observation today at work... I was working in a room about 10-15 meters (behind 2 walls) adjacent to a MRI machine (3T). Obviously I would imagine these 3T MRIs to be within rooms that have proper Faraday cage built in... but when the MRI machine...

    Has someone measured the length of the delay when DX90 is used as a DAC with the new 25/10/2014 driver?

      I have that combination. It is not bad but personally I think it lacks the mass in the bass department - but hey I pair it with a Burson SL + LCD2.2 so it's probably not a fair comparison :p

    Received my DX90 earlier today and loaded the Lurker V2 International Firmware.. RockUSB tool doesnt seem to work any more (at least for me), had to use the move file into internal storage way to update   After a whole month without decent music quality, I am now in tears.. no kidding!! But...

    Havent been back to this thread in a while as my DX90 was not working and was sent back to iBasso recently for a repair.   Apparently they said my problem which was - 1. Screen cannot turn on despite changing/charging battery 2. If attempt to switch on, there is a buzz sound from the machine...

    Thanks for the suggestion.   Tested - the problem is with the machine :-(   Time to pack it up and send it back to China..

    Tried and it doesn't do anything. I do hear a buzzing sound when I put the machine near my ear though. When the batteries are removed the buzzes are gone. Therefore I would assume it's not the battery's problem (eg failure to charge)

    Today the DX90 decides to not switch itself on anymore - the screen will not light up when plugged to a PC nor charging..   Interestingly when the DX90 is connected to the PC via RockUSB, it is detectable by the PC (just without the LCD showing the dx90 being in USB mode)   No music could be...

    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2

    Received my Burson Soloist SL today and did a quick A/B with my Little Dot MK3 (M8100 + 6H30Pi-EH) on my LCD-2.2. My Source was Line Out from a DX90.   Some have said "OTL does not work with planar, you must get a powerful solid state" I have to say, the difference is not actually that big.. ...

    The DX90 by iBasso . . . Sound impressions . . . . . . . New Firmware, 2.5.1 . . .

    Had a full day of listening session with the DX90 internal amp high gain + LCD-2.2 on a range of music genre. My comparative setup is Beyer DT880 600 with Little Dot mk3 on Mullard M8100 and Electro harmonix 6H30Pi-EH. Probably not very fair but at least it gives a baseline to what I am...

      The human spectrum of hearing does not really go as low as 5hz or as high as 45khz - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range So your question wouldn't actually be a question if you get what I mean    Welcome to Head-fi!

      Makes me wonder if the built in amps are faulty.. the built in amps are quite transparent to my ears with low imped headphones/earphones (eg. AKG K545, SE530)

      Excessive heat can shorten battery life yes, but i think when the DX90 get warm, the temperature is not that high to cause noticeable deterioration in battery life to my understanding.. well at least not for me (electrical experts please correct me if wrong)   2 months in and the battery is...

        Not heard the NWZ before but I am 99.99% sure that DX90 will do your 846 justice, period.   I dare say this without having the NWZ - that just says something bout how good DX90 is for IEMs     I use a Shure IEM and I enjoy the sound signature from the combo   (the price tag between...

      Despite everyone's perception of sound being different (ie. what is good and what is bad), I think if one cannot tell the sonic difference between an iPod and DX90 in a double-blind test, with lossless format and same headphones level-matched... Then the person must have some sort of issue...

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

      Hey there,   I took the exact same steps of gear acquisition as you :-)   As my signature states, my source is the DX90.   The Mullards will indeed become better and better as they burn in further. Personally I found the Voskhods to not be as fully "bodied" as the Mullards, and the...

    Objective Desktop Amp.....A Version from AGDR

    Assuming these can drive HE6 well.. these surely can feed the power hungry LCD2/3s? (Optimal 1-4W input)   Looks amazing!! Subbed!

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

      Thanks Mordy :-)   Unfortunately the getters are white powdery so I am pretty sure of its demise.. there's also a crack at the bottom of the tube.. I wanted to open it up to see the structure but seeing as platinum can be a toxic chemical I decided to not open it up.   See the photo...

    Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide

      From calculation, I think the mk3 can throw out ~150mW at 60ohm , acheiving peak dB of ~113 (91dB/mW) - so providing that I listen at around 97dB (which is already much louder than my normal listening levels) I should have a 16dB headroom which should be plenty..   Tho having said that, I...
