Oh Well. At the very least, it has become clear why they decided to go with the name "Phantom". That's all they ever were going to be for a large proportion of their customers.

Not that I am hopeful at this point, but I got a Shipping Update notification by email regarding my PM6 order on December 22 (and of course, I can't check my account on the website). I don't suppose this means there was a chance they were shipped?

From Trinity Audio website: At the risk of injecting a bit of optimism into this downward spiraling thread, I got a "shipping update" notification today for the Master 6 (ordered last July). I wonder if this means they're finally on their way... Any one else get a shipping update? I do have a...

  Can I ask if you tried switching the Leaf DG50 into "call" mode, as indicated here?  

Does anyone know if the bluetooth lanyard has a mic? It's been mentioned that the Air will have one.. And the description mentions that you'll be able to "take calls" with the lanyard.

In case anyone else is wondering about flash media for their rockboxed players, thought I'd report back. Tried to find that particular Patriot 128GB card, but couldn't source it easily (looks to be an end of line model number?)   Anyway, found a Kingston 64GB card that was also Class 10 (as...

I have been using the Sabres for almost 2 weeks now. I don't know if they are the panacea for dynamic IEMs, but for the preorder price, they are very good (and as others have mentioned, the accessory bundle is a bit over the top).   They have great authoritative bass without overdoing it too...

    I've tried using guiformat as well. (In case you are wondering where you can get it now that it's not on Xuelin's website, here is link). It doesn't make any difference. Neither does changing the allocation unit size. It's quite strange that the stock Xuelin firmware reads my Silicon Power...

Thanks for the feedback. Could you tell me which specific PNY card it is? Any info on card  speed? Formatted as FAT32 (allocation unit size?).

  FYI, I installed Rockbox builds (also kindly provided by XVortex) for the Xuelin iHifi 800. It works great with the 16GB microSD card it came with. Also tried a 128GB microSD (silicon power) and very unstable (can't even normally boot without error/crash). Interestingly, the stock firmware on...

I realize it's been a couple of months since this forum's been active, but I thought I'd ask:   Has anyone who has Rockboxed the iHifi 800 had any luck with 128GB microSD cards? The 16GB card that it came with works fine. So I bought a 128GB card (Silicon Power) that seems to read fine with...

Got the Ihifi 800. Loading rockbox went smoothly (thanks XVortex!). Though I was a bit worried to see that after overwriting the old .rockbox fold with the update, it was substantially smaller. Oh well. seems to work :) . Incidentally, the PC I used has a core-i7 Sandybridge gen processor...

In for the Sabre. Looking forward to the Phantom M6.

   Any male-male 3.5mm (1/8 inch) cable should work. Doesn't it come with one?     Seems that most (all?) Rockbox implementations downsample to 44.1 kHz (otherwise the rockbox package would need to be modified to suit the capabilities of each player)? If so, perhaps once 24/192 DACs and...

Excuse the uniformed question, but any chance that rockbox enables (or could in a future version) DSD playback on the Ihifi 800? I'm wondering what the limitation is seeing as other DACs with the  ES9018K2M chip seem to be able to natively decode DSD (and not convert to PCM as with older Sabre...

    You gave quite the glowing review of the FLC8S. Would you care to comment about how the Nova (or even Andromeda) might compare? (At the Massdrop price, the FLC8S and Nova price is similar).

Given that the Ihifi 800 seems to be going for <$200 right now including shipping from a couple of sellers (even one on ebay), and the new Rockbox development, I gave into my curiosity and pulled the trigger. Was tempted to go for the 960, but given the price reduction on the 800, and the more...

Thanks for replying to my post.   It does beg the question for someone like me looking to get a single iHiFi DAP though: Given that the 960 is roughly 33% more expensive than the 800 (ie, say about $300 vs $400 for the sake of argument). Would you still say that the 960 is superior and worth...

Based on the frequency response posted here from Reference Audio Analyzer, the iHiFi 800, like the 770, seems to have a notable drop in bass below 80hz. The iHiFi 960 and the FiiO players don't seem to have this. This seems to correspond with jdog's excellently detailed notes on bass comparisons...

I've been enjoying the GR07 Classics for about 4 months. Probably the best $100 IEM I've owned (not that I've owned all that many).   I was wondering if anyone knew what type of plastic the housing in the recent Classics was? Even though I think I've been pretty careful with them, I somehow...

Was able to update no problem on my NFB-10WM (with swapped out USB-32 receiver for the Tenor). Tried with Windows 7 sound driver and Kernel Streaming in Foobar so far. I don't really notice a difference either - other than it seems to me that gain is a bit lower after updating the firmware and...

  That sounds an awful lot like the original NFB-10WM (without the LCD display, remote, and USB-32 of course)

Quote:   Actually, the amp section in the original NFB-10WM puts out a little more power than the second edition (ie, 700mW vs 590mW into 600 ohms in balanced). 

I don't know how easy it will be to update an original NFB-10SE (with the Tenor 7xxx series USB interface) to USB-32. It only involves soldering 6 wires - I updated my NFB-10WM and posted about it earlier in the thread (see pics). But the USB interface chip on the original NFB-10SE is right on...

Quote:   The best DAC/Amp combo I have heard with the HD 650s FOR THE MONEY is the Audio-dg NFB-10 (with balanced HD 650s). You can get the HD 650s and NFB-10.32 for pretty close to $1000, never mind the amp alone, and, at least to me, the combo is pretty hard to beat unless your budget...
