    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    HI, I own one. I'm assuming from the history on here that there will be no more support (firmware or fixes) for the IDAP-6. I'm very happy with mine - I'm still waiting a fix for my HDMI issue hopefully will be resolved shortly. I have mine connected to 2x 256gb fast USB thumb drives (samsung)...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I've got 2x fast samsung 256gb USB thumb drives and a decent 128gb SD card as well as a Samsung T5 1TB so no issues at all playing when HDMI is not connected/using the workaround - as you said no lag and a decent setup, works a treat with the phone app over bluetooth to control it. I could never...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I find the bluetooth side frustrating - it's not easy to swap from Hibymusic to streaming bluetooth music from my phone, I tried the recommended NAS/Network streaming set up and gave up as it was not exactly elegant. If it weren't for the sheer quality of the playback and the aesthetics I would...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I still have the issue, I chased this with the Main UK supplier and so far no response, but to be fair to them they did not supply the IDAP6 component so it was a favour rather than a reseller issue and i will call them as they were going to ask the UK rep directly (this was a few months back) -...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    Is anyone still using the IDAP-6 on here - I have one, lovely playback from the SD card but nothing will play from the USB ports - Had a Sandisk 1tb SSD working briefly before it gave up (about 1 day) - Replaced with a Samsung t5 1tb drive which it does not recognise at all, have now just bought...

    New: Burson Audio Play Amp/DAC (2W@16Ohm) (op-amp rollers dream)

    Burson have never been anything but exceptional in dealing with support issues whether hardware or software related for me and this over 5 years or more and i've had a lot of their products - Are you seriously suggesting that Burson released a product and didn't test the windows driver?

    Yes, I think they are criminally underrated too - I never got some of the reviews, thought I had a different pair of headphones....Lucky for me I bought them when they didn't have the 5* reviews for a song :-)

    I loved these headphones when they weren't getting a lot of love. They are a near equal to the HD800/HE560, in some ways I prefer them. They are a bargain S/H. They are comfortable/light and tough. They can get a little intense but only with a harsh/glaring DAC in my experience.

    Metrum Acoustics Aurix

    I've contacted Metrum support, it's weird as it doesn't seem to do it (or the distortion is so low ) with the DT880 600ohm - just nervous as this is an ebay purchase and don't want to end up with a lemon.....if I wasn't away on business I would have a lot more sources/headphones to check it with...

    Metrum Acoustics Aurix

    I'm hoping you are right about the impedance not being correct - but saying that it does the same from the line (RCA) out from a TEAC tape deck which surely should be the right impedance? - Haven't checked the transformers but it does the same with 0db gain so had ruled it out?

    Metrum Acoustics Aurix

    Okay Aurix owners, I have an issue which I'm trying to get resolution on - I was an original Aurix buyer some years back so know the product quite well. I've recently purchased another second hand - sold as new (and looks it) - I'm away from my main set up so am testing it with a MacBook pro -...

    New Burson Conductor - V2 and V2+

    I was one of the early adopters of the CV2+ I got mine as part as the first batch along with the Timekeeper Virtuoso. Mine had a brief (like 2 second) burst of static after about 2 hours from new and then nothing ever since. I had an issue with hum from the Timekeeper/CV2+ combo - ended up being...

    Metrum Acoustics Aurix

    From my memory of the Aurix loves/needs high (300+) ohm headphones - it wasn't convincing at all with my HE-500 - If you are thinking about the LCD-2 I would consider another amp....

    New Burson Conductor - V2 and V2+

    I stopped when I worked out I had to earn enough money to support the addiction - I was okay on Mid-fi headphones (although my wife would laugh at that description and most friends would look ashen faced) but the summit-fi stuff now is just getting into completely insane money. Luckily I have a...

    New Burson Conductor - V2 and V2+

    I had the E12diy version that fitted the Muse like a dream - didn't have any issue getting the case shut. Had quite a few opamp/buffer combos for that - stuck with the muse 02 and buff 634 in the end. Luckily the minimax had been butchered before I owned it (bought it and found out it had been...
