i missed the eksonic.......where was it?

some quick observations before dinner: 1. EAR micro blew me away with their T10, which are wireless and have the DAC and DSP in the tiny earpieces. The soundstage was fantastic on everything I heard. Their focus, besides sound, is the luxury market with custom charger units that have to be...

bought my ticket for saturday, sushi and audio in NYC is in my future

What stats were being used with Kerry's T2 and babyT2 amps? I've been very impressed with his amps at past local NJ/NY shows. (feeling sad i couldn't be there..............)

will the phone output burn in at all by playing the LO (which i normally use in the car)? it would have power applied but nothing terminating the phone out signal path.

has anyone else seen this? i've had a few occasions where i've selected a folder to play (containing an album), and the song sequence does not go through everything but repeats a track i've already heard. this is in mango, i haven't checked with uapp yet.

absolutely. in my car system, i use the amp12 LO into a Jensen PO-2XR which takes balanced in (XLR) and provides unbalanced out (RCA). i have it wired up in the car now, though i have not yet installed/hidden the extra hardware required to convert the balanced LO (see photo). the balanced out...

@anyone with a amp12W When you modified the amp12, did you find your favorite filter changed or stayed the same? And which filter(s)?

Sounds like a good reason for a drive from Paris to Zurich?

Has anyone done a comparison, using the same music files on board the dx300 versus using the dx300 as a USB DAC?

I had a very similar experience here. With my JH13 iems, with balanced silver dragon wire, I was able to compare the single ended versus balanced phone outputs for amp11, with the balanced clearly superior. Last night I installed my amp12 and the balanced phone output took a huge jump in...

one more question before i order something :) the jensen pi-2xr goes balanced to unbalanced with, i believe, no signal level change the jensen pc-2xr goes balanced to unblanced with, i believe, conversion from +4dBm to -10dBm which would be a better match for the amp12 going to the aux line in...

I am moving up the DAP food chain to an iBasso dx300 and am selling my fiio x7mk2 with the AM3B amplifier, which provides both 4.4mm balanced output and 3.5mm single ended output. I have used the 4.4 balanced with iems (for trains/planes) and the 3.5 unbalanced to my car stereo aux in (on the...

do you have any observations regarding the LO of the 11.2 and 12?

I just took my dx300 out to the car on a pizza run. With single ended line out, it was amazing, with non of the "not yet broken in" harshness I heard with amp11/PO and JH13 iems. A real no-brainer, soundstage, solidity, bass, detail all vastly superior to LO with my x7mk2 (which will now go on...

cool! Jensen PI-2XR seems to be what i need. then I add a TRRRS ==> 2x XLR cable from the iBasso to the Jensen, and then RCA into my car aux input then i only need the amp12W and don't have to swap out between car and train/plane use. is there a link to someone who does the 12W mod?

I just received my dx311 and couldnt wait to listen and compare it to my x7mk2. Initial thoughts: It needs time to break in. I hear some harshness in the high end but the low end, detail and soundstage are all improved relative to the fiio, both with balanced and single ended output3 to JH13...

Nice review, thanks. My only suggestion would be, if possible, to swap the DACs and see if that was responsible for the soundstage difference.

I was browsing the dx300 and it said that all of the amp11 ports can be set to line out, which would solve my problem with a single amp.

Thanks. Since I need unbalanced out for my car system, it seems I have a choice of amp1 or amp1, so the answer is either amp1 or a pair of amps for different uses. Since they are swappable, I can get a good balanced amp for my JH13 iems. Anyone have recommendations for an amp that is a good...

A question regarding the amplifier options for someone new to ibasso. My first priority is sound quality of line out for use in my car system, 2nd priority is sq with my iems. So 1. Do all the amps provide line out and headphone outputs? 2. Does the line out sq vary much across the amp units...

Thanks! When uapp works again on a pixel 6, I'll check it out.

On a different topic, is there a way to force the output to mono?

I've also reported this to Google. Long time user here :(
