I too am wondering the same thing.

  Fully agree.  I purchased a refurbished unit and highly recommend to others who want a save a little bit of money.  It's essentially the same price you would expect to find if you were buying a used unit from someone on head-fi, and you are purchasing directly from Oppo, with the full warranty.

I appreciate the feedback on my earlier post. I ended up sampling the HA-1 with my HE-6 and TH-900 at Oppo's office in Menlo Park (as well as their BD-105, PM-1, and PM-3). They graciously allowed me to sample all of these products and were curious as to what I thought of them. I particularly...

I'd like to bump this post since I too am on the fence between the HA-1 and the Yulong DA8 (mkII specifically). I primarily would use as a DAC to feed Little Dot VI -> HE-6. Any thoughts would be great, thanks!

Nice gesture. Username: Opethian10 Would love to see either the Oppo HA-1 or Yulong DA8

  Jamato8,   Is there any possible chance you could link me to this page?  There are several DX90 threads and unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything regarding a batch tool.  I appreciate your help!   Edit: nevermind, found it!  Tried using the search tool on Head-fi, but that...

  I have not tried this yet, but I'll give it a shot.  Thanks.     Yes, it is definitely set to Storage.

I just tried a factory reset but nothing appears different.

Hi,   I've had my DX90 for about 6 months now.  It has always worked great for me until recently.  For some reason my computer (have tried multiple PCs) will no longer recognize the player which means I am unable to edit the library on my DX90.  Neither the internal storage of the unit itself...

I agree, must be the lighting?

Possibly. Whether you notice a difference or not largely hinges on how resolving your gear is, and also how well your hearing is. I am stoked to hear the new Zeppelin remasters in hi res!!

I received mine a week ago. Signed up for the upgrade the morning after Dan announced it here.

Sounds like maybe your ears are adjusting?

Is that a new color? For the LCD-X perhaps? Your pads look grey. I thought they only came in a brownish color? Thanks

What pads are you using there?

Never heard the 1540. I do know the HE-400 has the bass you are looking for, and can be described as a "fun" headphone. If you need a closed headphone though, these are not the answer.

I would look into the HE-400. Brand new it's at the low end of your budget, and it's excellent for metal and hip hop. It has powerful bass, but doesn't get in the way. It's also very fast, which is well suited for your music tastes. Also much easier to drive than the HD600.

  Good point.  I've never heard somebody complain from the changes they experience after "break in"!

Still shows 01/14 on the page...

Wondering this as well.

Wonder how quickly these will sell

  +2.  Paradise Lost sounds great too.

This is the same amp!! I bought it from you, remember :)

I took my busted MKVI+ to a local reputable shop in San Jose yesterday. Originally thought it was just a bad fuse, but the shop owner thinks the power transformer malfunctioned as well. Looks like I'm biting the bullet and sending this one back to China for repair. Aside from that, has anyone...

  You have the inside scoop!?
