They are JST 10 with pitch of 1mm. Mine is done by myself. I recommend using at most the size 30 gauges and not larger

Oh yes! If you love pb5, then D16 will bring another world to that love :). Definitely a yes from me

Well, honestly, I still love PB5 as an addition. It elevates the strengths of D16 with the exception of the warmth signature. It depends on preferences, though as much as I love neutral/references signatures, I found that warmth is still enjoyable as well. I was just stating the case in which...

Yes! And honestly, PB5 has the slight warmth that I had to tackle with modification. Not much, but still something. You gotta try it first though. IMO, the D16 is the one that is most valuable. It has everything one could ask for, unless headphones is demanding l, then adding Pb5 is a great...

It depends for iems or headphones ? For iems, I think it gives a bit too much of the warmth together with the more dynamic punchiness, it may be too much for some people. IMO, if I use iems, I use it directly from D16. Unless I use headphones which is most of my use case, I pair with D16 for...

True, I thought I saw them advertising for hi-res LOL!! Was never much into smartphones with DAC/amp

Xperia is also one of those audiophile smartphones which is very expensive. Eventhough it only sports 3.5mm

I agreed! Still, as long as you are a fan of iPod seeking for a phone as well, this is a good one

A mixture and blend of all in one can only be so good. It won’t be anywhere as technologically advanced as dedicated DAP. Simply forms to spaces being limited while cramping in too many features. If anyone is more serious about portable hi-fi, going the route of Dedicated high end DAP or...

I am not impressed because it has a DAP/DAC features. But I am hugely impressed by the specifications and the pricing …. Wow

Better than android and even windows PC, except Linux. The best of it would be a Linux and Raspberry combo

I do agree that for some reasons, Apple and Mac are very good with usb quality for music transports

Me <=== can’t wait for Ibasso new products

I do agree with Alex findings as I also have a friend @purk who can also confirm this. I have been very interested in getting DX260 for digital transport, but nowadays, my budgets is very limited. I don’t doubt it that Dx260 is a better digital transport source just due to the new Gen 2 FPGA...

Anyone is into pool games ? I recently just had a chance to put in a table into my place and wondering if anyone else out there is also into the extra hobby

I agreed, reviewers also have their own capacity as to what gears they favors, trusted best, and what available on hands. However, even so, I would think that the less comparison is the better. Because the more diversified the comparison, the less accurate it is, for any subjective hobby that is.

Perceived distortions may be hard to discern but definitely more dynamic and more effortless with more powerful devices. Not all powerful players or devices will perform similar, but if they are of proper quality, you should be able to always get a more effortless performances which includes...

I would have to agreed with this statement. They can drive the IER Z1R just fine, but not as good as the more powerful players or devices should be, such as 320M or D16 from Ibasso

Sorry for your losses, I hope music will help you out. Enjoy your music :)

I only use headphones. In fact I bypassed the speaker output and is using only headphones directly

D16 is the most capable DAC that can show you what your digital transport can do, whether it is by Coax or by USB. So, yes, digital transport definitely make the differences

I have tweaked PB5, because in my preferences, the PB5 has authority with amazing soundstage in addition of D16. That is for hd800s as a full size. However, the lower base and it warmth with the analog fluidity performances are too much of a good thing. I tweaked it so that it is more neutral...

The most significant upgrades would be Coax cables and usb cables if you want higher DSD files format. But I only use DSD64 or just PCM now, and I prioritize Coax The next one would be just as important and that is the internal cables.

Yepe! This is very hard to achieve from digital music.
