about Iqube v1
I bought the iqube v1 a while ago. Sounds great and is much more natural than the fiio e7 but I hear hardley a difference between using the direct output of my cowon and using it via the iqube. There is a difference in bass but not that much. Is it just me? It is really natural but I expected...- drowendINsound

Mid-High end iem upgrade from re0
Hey guys, my re0's cable seemed to have screwed up leaving me with a hollow, tin can interior sound. I'm looking for a gd upgrade, seeking re0's clarity with bit more bass and lusher mids.

Ground loop problem?
When I have my i-Qube connected to my sound card's line out, everything is fine, but when it's hooked up to a DAC that's powered by an outlet, and I touch it, there's a slight buzzing sound. It's also noticeable when they're not connected, but I touch both of them. Is this a ground loop problem...- knubbe

iQube better than ALO Rx?
I was thinking about selling my Rx (pm me if interested lol) and spending a little bit of money to get the iQube. The main reason is it being more powerful and more neutral to use with my K702s. The ALO Rx drives them nicely from what I can hear (haven't used any other amp with them but I know...- Young Spade

Setup for sensitive IEM
Hi, I started a similar thread some time ago, but nobody answered. The problem is, that I use very sensitive IEMs (28 Ohm and 122 dB). My iBasso D4 and D3 are too loud for them (using it as DAC and amp via PC). When these amps are not too load, I have channel imbalance, which is a no-go. ...- arctic_storm

Request: HeadRoom Portable Micro vs. iQube V1
So basically the P-Micro, which I have, costs $400 USD. The iQube, minus the VAT, is $450 USD. The iQube being a Class-D and the P-Micro, a Class-AB, I'd very much like a comparison between these two. For some reason I feel like getting one as a stepping stone towards the LISA III, but $450...- 3602
