Just an update, I forgo-ed the Plenue D due to interface issues. Still wondering what's good at competitive prices.

Hi guys, I am facing the same problems as you are as well. @Paul - iBasso any information on this issue please? It has been some time already.

Is this auCDtect Task Manager tool still effective in detected upscaled (.mp3/.alac > .flac)?

Went to a local store today and realise that the demo unit would not read my MicroSD card, I think it's because the card is in exFAT format. Has there been an update to fix this issue?

  Looks good! Thank you for the video.

  Seems like this users new Plenue D's UI is smooth. This makes me wonder if it is because of the large amount of files on your card OR maybe you got a lemon set? On that, has anyone compared this to Fiio X1's, X5II's and Sansa Clip+'s players? Mine is slowly dying and I wouldn't mind...

  Out of curiousity, is the lag attributed to the number of files/songs in your card?

    It's hard to get them from where I come from. I'm seriously considering it though.

  Not many reviews on that one yet.

Bumps!   What new gear would you guys deem neutral these days? Have a dying Sansa Clip+ and would like to seek different options. Budget <$300

Hi, I haven't had the time to procure one to test it out. However, the problem I had hasn't occured again. Will let you know if I do soon. Thanks.

  Thank you for the reply!

Anyone face a problem where using the UD100 causes other devices to stop functioning? In my case, when I plug it in, my mouse starts to have intermittent freezing. Problem goes away when I plug it out.

Sennheiser HD600 (velour pads removed)   BOOM! close to neutral sound  

...you are on the constant pursuit for sound.

Did you see this one? He doesn't seem too confident.    

HD 600 (foam removed) + O2 Amp. Loving the neutral sound.

Quote: Thankfully I did not remove the back foam mod then, will just remove the foam pads like i've done so.

I felt that my pair of HD600's with the inside foams removed helped in the 4-5kHz roll off. It was a better thing to do in my opinion. Afraid to remove the back foam though (irreversible )

Portability speaking, 25's are the way to go. Nice bass but not too empowering. Else, DT1350's which have (to me) its own sound.  

Quote: "I know how bas clamping can get after the Beats Pro," - Typo!   Anyway good review! I thought the sounds scape was way better then HD 25's.
