I own all 3 and can answer yes to your questions. You can also try the Xduoo XD-05 if cheaper and has the 6.5 jack, but you'd need to replace the chip with one of your choice to max it out.- Necron99

Great mod for the Bowers and Wilkins P3.
Thanks for this, I noticed when I flipped the original earpads the P3 sounded much better. I'll try this, a shame with 2 versions B&W didn't pick up on this!- Necron99

Awesome or Gimmick ? Sonys MDR-1ADAC
Won't argue that, but I was hoping it was the 300s sound coming through when connected. I never received a reply from Sony about that.- Necron99

Cayin i5 Lossless Android DAP with AKM4490 DAC supporting 32/384 PCM + 64/128 DSD
So I guess it is safe to assume that there will be no further updates for the i5?- Necron99

ZiShan Z3 Hi-Fi Player Thread
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a question concerning playback on the Z3? I'm I the only person that has this thing freeze, stop, black out at random? Or is it the various formats of my music files that drive this thing crazy? Any and all help is appreciated!- Necron99

Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
Welcome to AK's (hahahaha) support of the Stepchild. They have abandoned this, well, like a Stepchild. You're better off looking online for the battery and someone that will install it for you. Good luck!- Necron99

Darkvoice 336i & 336SE Tuberolling PartII
Same here! None of my NOS tubes hum at all! I have RCA, Silvertone, and a Tung-Sol, but a US built version, and none hum. The newer Russian Tung-Sol hums. Hmmm, guess I have some burn in time to do!- Necron99

Darkvoice 336i & 336SE Tuberolling PartII
@ maheeinfy In my experience, it's the driver tube that causes hum, not the power one. Have you been able to swap driver tubes with the same RCA 6AS7G?- Necron99

Darkvoice 336i & 336SE Tuberolling PartII
Hearing can be subjective as you pointed out, but in this case, here in China the included tubes cost a grand total of 7.25 US! For both! The Dark Voice didn't sound bad when I first got it, however once my RCA and Silvertone tubes showed up, WHOA!!!! My Fostex TH-X00 and AKG 712's truly shined...- Necron99

Darkvoice 336i & 336SE Tuberolling PartII
Using the iFi Nano Black as a source to the Dark Voice. Using a RCA 6080 for power and a Silvertone 6SN7GTB to drive. Wow, compared to the included tubes is night and day!- Necron99

Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
Go for the Sony, the AK Stepchild has too many annoyances and piss poor support from AK to consider, the only saving grace is the Wolfson chip. Regardless, I strongly advice you test one for yourself before you get it.- Necron99

Use a 3.0 micro to C converter. No guarantee it'll work on yours but when I used a 2.0 converter it didn't work at all. https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApuxihQlGPNvg-58ti7MiQj5UYzkpw- Necron99

They have differences with cataloging music, but I didn't see anything different concerning Hi-Def options except the interface. More refined on the Onkyo HF player. Try the demo out first and give it walk through, a lot of people like the slicker interface much better.- Necron99
