    Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread

    When I tested SE846 at e-earphone Tokyo, I didn't hear any particular hiss, but this is in the shop with a bit of background noise, I cannot guarantee no audible hiss in dead silent conditions.   Coming from JH13 the SE846 sounded bassy.  Very mid-bass centric, but this should be because of...

    Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread

    Using new driver/firmware with NFB-10ES2. No trouble, errors or bugs so far with Foobar and WASAPI, win7 64bit. Regardless of hi-res or 44.1.   Although differences aren't audible for my ears, I'm just saying it's stable and no problem.

    Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread

      In my review of the X5 I compared it to my GS3 (USB to) Glacier. So it's a comparison of the X5 headphone out vs Glacier DAC section + amp sound.   The X5 comes pretty close, but comparing very critically and analitically (ie nitpicking) with JH13, I would say the Glacier sounds slightly...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

    Seems MP4nation hasn't learnt anything from 4 years ago when the S-flo:2 or T51 was out.. not enough of the actual number of pre-order units sourced, then delays and delays for delivery.  Like 2 weeks or so was just the beginning.  They attract buyers by doing 5% or more discounts (or add small...

    The Fiio X5 Thread

      In the preview tour I compared the X5 to the Apex Glacier - in the review section if you may want to read.

    I've been using the DAC section everyday for the past several months, but so far no weird states or sudden shut downs, at all.

        Thanks guys, it was a nervous task since it's my first review up on Head-Fi   And no unfortunately haven't tried the X3 in the past, so I cannot compare..  however I've read others commenting the X5 sound is a fairly big step above.

    Review by 'zenki14' on item 'FiiO X5 High-res Portable Music Player'

    Disclaimer: I am taking part in the Fiio X5 preview world tour.  I have not bought the actual unit, and I’m not affiliated with Fiio.  Impressions are just on the 6th day of the 10 days allowed for me, so my words (especially about sound) need to be taken with a grain of salt.  Firmware version...

    Well not all of us own a ZX-1 to compare, so yeah...   3rd day in use.  I should start writing up tonight.  I can just say for now that the X5 sounds so damn good that it's going to be a hard time sending to the next person lol.

    Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread

      Ok sorry I probably overstated it as zero noise, you may or may not hear very slight hiss depending on the source, iems and conditions, you can only find out by actually trying.  I said "zero" since atleast for my setup hiss is not audible..   I've never heard of the DX100 so I cannot...

    Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread

    With the Glacier used daily I don't hear hiss or noise with my JH13 normally... and they're super freaking sensitive IEMs.   At times the Glacier can be prone to ticking noise or static, like if you have a mobile transmitting signal very close to it.  I have the GS3 stuck with the Glacier, but...

    Arrived this morning.  Will start using it from tonight..  I'll see how it does with JH13 and T1, and main comparisons will be with my current portable rig (GS3 + Glacier).

      Like I replied to this guy: http://www.head-fi.org/t/633511/pictures-of-your-portable-rig-part-xvi/8865#post_10082076 It's easy to make your own right angle OTG cable if you can gather the parts and solder.   Repost of photo sorry.  To stick the GS3 case and Glacier together, I use 3M...

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

      I believe there are cables on Taobao, but the one I use I just made myself.  It's a GS3 to Glacier so it's micro B to micro B.   Buy plugs, cables, a sleeve, and just put them together.  Basically what I posted in the Glacier thread...

    Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread

    If I were in the same position to use the Touch/iOS7 I would modify the CCK, make it short and use right angle plugs. However so far I haven't seen modified CCK cables (DIY'd by head-fiers) so I suppose it may not be easy as just cut and re-solder. I actually really thought about that route. It...

    Audio-gd NFB-10

      The older models with TE7022 for the USB receiver should work, but the current ones with USB-32 need specific drivers so it doesn't work.  The NFB-10 series is big and heavy so you can forget about carrying them around and using Android sources..

    Got off the old screen protector and changed to a new one today.  I think my portable rig is done for now.  Like I mentioned before the Glacier has excellent synergy with JH13.   Quote:   I have that OTG cable.  Not an S4, but it works perfectly fine for S3.  So there's no problem with...
