iBasso DX80 . . impressions and reviews. . and discussion NEW FW: 1.6.0 ** link . . 1st page . . .
I got my dx80 a few days ago and quite like it so far. I have nothing to complain about in terms of sound with my Etymotic er-4s. The USB DAC feature works well with my macbook and my iPhone/iPad (with CCK). However, the library management needs improvement, in particular since the dx80...- larki

iBasso DX80 Bug Thread - Post Any Firmware Bugs/Issues Here
I have two complaints about the UI: 1) in the track list, or album list, scrolling is very erratic: it is unpredictable weather a "up-swipe' starts an inertial scroll or not. 2) in the same list view, a swipe left should move to the "currently playing" screen, but this only works if the swipe...- larki

This only works for the track which is currently playing, not in the menus where you choose a track/an album. Also, when I go to "Music Info", either from the track list, or from the currently playing display, the tags are cut off, even though half the screen is empty.- larki

Hi, I just got my dx80 and I can't figure out how it handles long track names. Is there an option to have the names scroll? Essentially all my track names of classical music are cut off. If there is no such option, I hope a future firmware upgrade will add it!- larki

OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread
I've had the HA-2 for a week and did not have any drop outs with my iOS 9.2 devices (iPhone 6S, ipad Air 2). Only issue: when the device sleeps for a while without playing audio, I sometimes have to reconnect. But never during play.- larki

For me it would be 1) Two SD Slots 2) Use as DAC for iPhone/iPad via Apple CCK. 3) SQ It seems that 2) is causing some problems. Did anyone get it to work (iOS 9.2)?- larki

Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)
thathertz: Not warmer than luke warm. Never hot. It seems to be receding though (or I am getting used to it). Maybe it'll go away with burn in. Hopefully.- larki

Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)
Hi, I just received my DACMagic as well, and I am very happy with the sound. When the DAC is connected (say via USB) and no sound is playing, there is a low but very noticable and irritating humming sound coming from the DAC. Once I start playing music the humming ceases (I checked by turning...- larki

Favorite Classical Concerto
Reviving a great thread... My favorite concertos (at the moment): Piano: Busoni, Prokofiev 2, Barber Recordings: Hamelin for Busoni, and for Prokofiev 2, it's very close between Gutierrez, Ashkenazy and Tozer, Browning/Slatkin for Barber Cello: Prokofiev's Sinfonia-Concertante, Barber... -
Sviatoslav Richter or Martha Argerich?
I love both Richter and Argerich immensely. Concerning Prokofiev: It's hard to compare them, because their Prokofiev recordings have almost no overlap, if I am not mistaken: Argerich recorded the first and third concertos, Richter the first (1954) and fifth. Richter recorded a bunch of sonatas... -

Review of the Little-Dot MKIII Tube Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
Hi, I am thinking of buying the Little Dot MKIII as well; it would be my first desktop amp. I almost exclusively listen to classical music, and it would have to drive AKG K501 and in a few weeks probably a pair of Sennheiser HD6*0. I read through the whole thread and couldn't find reports on...- larki

Contemporary Classical Piano:
I really really love Frederic Rzewski's variation cycle "The people united will never be defeated!". I only know two recordings, one by Marc-Andre Hamelin and one by Stephen Drury, and definitely prefer the Hamelin recording. There is a complete performance on youtube by Bobby Mitchell, and...
