I own exactly the same since 2014 : Rockboxed Ibasso DX50 -> ifi micro idsd BL -> Sennheisser HD700. I’ve had no need to change or upgrade, if the dx50/dx90 were to become unavailable for replacement; would one of the rockboxed xduoo models be a suitable replacement while keeping the ifi...

Hi, Just bought this from advancedmp3players.com which was shipped with Firmware version 1.6.8 Please confirm that firmware version 1.7.2 fixes the following issues :- - When browsing folders which contain .m3u external playlist files, I get the well known black-screen/white numbers crash...

Thanks, I have now read the FAQs, does this mean I cannot use a regular 3.5mm to 3.5mm interconnect even though data gets through most of the time?

A good point as this does not happen with Windows to USB. Any reason why the DX50 or any Coax source would stop transmitting? The digital cable is a double ended coax with 3.5mm connections.

Hi Guys, I have a strange problem which I haven't seen documented anywhere else. I love the mojo sound however I'm getting stability issues where the music cuts out if I touch the rig to move it or when the rig is mobile such as in the car. This can be temporarily restored if I touch the...

44.1/16 FLAC.... It was cheaper & Rockbox downsamples to 44.1/16 anyway...

I have read that A5 is a bit too powerful for IEMs though YMMV. You would have to audition to your own liking to what works for you. Even top gear can't fix poorly recorded/mixed/mastered music.

No you wouldn't expect phones to typically have line-outs. Double-amping should be ok for convenience so long as the source is not boosted too much however purists won't be happy as noise is still introduced into the chain even with low noise amps. My humble opinion is any headphone over 100...

Surely you would like to think a 800+mW amp could drive 250 ohm even 600 ohm headphones? Is distortion or lack of volume heard with the A5? Even lower powered amps should be able to drive 250 ohms albeit with less Damping Factor.

Get a player / amp output / software that allows you to adjust the L/R balance such as RockBox.org

I mean put your setup on its side instead of using the A5 flat side at the bottom. Also if you setup the A5 the correct way around, you can have it so that the battery power lights are not covered. Anker PowerCore+ mini (3350mAh Premium Aluminum Portable Charger) Lipstick-Sized External...

Answer 1) Why not make the rig bottom the long edge so all the connections can be pushed closer together before covering the battery lights? Answer 2) Why compromise the rig with the A3 anymore, use your best amps for this rig & use the A3 for something else... If you want extend battery...

Not so new now....I see from the Ibasso Website that the D14 Bushmaster has officially been discontinued!! :triportsad: Although the P5 is the current non-module Ibasso separate headphone amplifier, was hoping for a D16 - ASP which would be a DAC/AMP version of the DX200 DAP + selectable...

Actually the audio Chain is :- Rockboxed iBasso DX50 (COAX Out) -> Chord MOJO (Set at 3V Line out) -> FiiO A5 -> HD700 So the analogue signal should be reaching the A5 @ full line out level.

... to work their magic on higher impedance headphones? Case in point, I use a FiiO A5 to feed my Sennheiser HD700 with 150 Ohm impedance. I usually have the volume pot @ 1/4 the way around to get about ~70 dBr which is comfortable listening volume. However if I increase the volume pot to...

I would also vote for the Chord Mojo with a secondary vote for the Ibasso D14... I have both & can attest to the sound quality, ease of use + connectivity.

I would look at the impedance & sensitivity of the headphones you are using as I can't believe 90+ dBr is not enough to suit listening requirements. A short intro video to explain to new hobbyists :

YKYAAW Your music collection is so large you need iTunes to remind you what you've purchased so you can find it again in your DAP library....

I didn't sell my E12, it is a good amp & it became part of my mobile watching YouTube while performing chores rig. Comparatively the A5's soundstage is wider, there is no low volume hiss & no buzzing when using while charging making it a true upgrade in practical terms.

Yes & Yes. This is a subjective view & reliant on not just my own experience but on the experimentation of others who came up with the MUSES02 combination.

Sorry to throw another perspective into the mix but in my experience double amping even low noise amps in series (IBasso D14 -> FiiO E12/A5) adds audible noise which sounds like clipping in the case of a sine wave or piano harshness in the example of Ryan Farish music. This is because the 1st...
