1000% better, selling the chord mojo, onkyo-dp-x1 setup.... useless. This is unreal. I "thought" well mojo is best for any device, boy was I wrong. KANN = Nirvana with the caveat you must get properly built balanced cables to your headphones. I play tons of native DSD content, volume at 150 is...

Not yet, I will as soon as I get/build a new balanced cable. So single ended sounds great thus far!

Anyone following my issues with the DAP and Audeze LCD-2 I can say a new unit arrived and all the clarity issues/ distortion are resolved with a new unit. I also tested out of the box firmware 1.0 vs 1.03 and the firmware definitely enhances the sound drastically. My last unit I immediately...

So for $200.00 roughly, you are saying that the OEM cable by audeze with a 3rd party 2.5mm adapter wasn't capable of driving LCD-2's? However, this new balanced cable not only drives the LCD-2 but also give clarity spatial sound stage? So are you saying you get "similar" quality sound from as if...

I listened to mine for a good hour it got to 93% wifi off and Bluetooth off screen on 20%. Can you drive with "Authority" your HD800s? Clean clear soundstage? Thanks!

I spoke to iRiver, the symptoms of my AK were as follows, DSD .dsf ripped from 180g Vinyl, (Twenty One Pilots- BlurryFace) The sound started to fall apart above 130 in high amp mode 2.5mm either way too warm crushing bass into mids negating soundstage or too hollow with high trble ear piercing...

Well that about sums it up..... any recommendations or headphones over ear for this model?

I like the sound of SE Unbalanced from DP-X1 to Cayin C5 to Audeze Unbalanced, very spacious and separate; kinds of files I test are .aiff, .dsf, .wav, .m4a, .flac. Now as for the DP-X1 via balanced to Audeze LCD-2 very spacious, but lacks umph. The DP-X1 to Chord Mojo= wow; connected via DOP...

Not sure this is worth it. I own a Onkyo DP-X1 with chord mojo as well as a cayin analog amp. I was trying to reduce foot print when connecting to AUDEZE LCD-2 in balanced mode. It just doesn't seem to selerate sound very well, perhaps it needs to burn in. It does get louder as a single DAP but...

Yes about Balanced ACG on will kill the battery very quickly. If you have Wifi/Bluetooth and Balanced or ACG on expect about 3hrs max. I have had mine for 6months and have had batteries drain issues without shutting everything down and putting in it airplane mode while listening to the native...

Any news on a firmware update to stop OTG via DOP pausing?  Perhaps any advice if not, my chord mojo still pauses randomly and ive done things like turn off all wireless as well as in airplane mode etc.  It does it on all files, from ALAC, FLAC, AIFF, WAV, DSF to name a few. Settings are Lock...

I remember (I purchased this unit in the winter (feb) that there were many firmware updates, like one every two weeks. I havent seen a firmware update in months. I really do wonder what is going on? Of course mine is from japan....

For me its dramatic, SE to LCD-2's = okay BAL to LCD-2's = awesome no other amp required. ACG is definitely better for Vinyl Rips (DSF 5.6MHZ);  I use KORG KOR-DSDAC10R from DP-300F with 3m RED to DSF. Anyway off the subject a little but for hi-res rips ACG or Bal 2.5mm is atleast 2x better. I...
