Shanling Q1 - Retro-Styled Portable Hi-Fi Music Player
My Q1 has been randomly freezing or 'glitching' during playback. When it freezes, I have to hold down the power button and do a reset to get it to turn off (none of the buttons or screen works). When I turn it back on, it works for a little while but then freezes again. Any thought on how to...- BigDave

Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable
Are you using it out of a phone or a computer? It goes freakishly loud for me on my computer but taps out on my android phone. I believe it can only do 2V on a phone but 4V output on the computer?- BigDave

Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable
Hmmm, I have contacted UAPP through their email and they said "Ah, I understand what you mean. You'd like to see a different curve for the volume control. That is planned. I'll see if I can expedite it." I was trying to explain in detail to them and hopefully they understood. I just do not...- BigDave

Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable
Using UAPP Pro with my pee51 (in bit perfect where possible) and I am finding the volume quite low (75-80% volume for normal listening with my iems) but only need 20-25% when using Poweramp for the same volume with the same iems . What am I doing wrong in UAPP for such a difference in gain...- BigDave

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
I doubt it. they have a sale on it at the moment, but when I put it in my cart the sale price did not come up :thinking:, just the original price. Just checked again and now it has gone back up? Weird.- BigDave

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
I tried emailing Linsoul about that cable and they were confused as to what I was asking. I have sent them a picture to hopefully show diagrammatically that I wish to know the diameter of the plastic sheath around the 2.5mm mono plug but they haven't got back to me yet. From my rough...- BigDave

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
Yeah, I have the website up, ready to pull the pin on these if I knew more. Good find, as I could not find that cable in their Audio Cables section. Had to search. I have a couple of "cheapy" cables that I got off eBay, but they are a bit meh.- BigDave

I also like the look of that cable, ilianto. The only issue would be the size of the 2.5mm connectors. shame they do not mention it on the site!- BigDave

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
Sigh, well the break is definitely at the left hand side 2.5mm jack. I have tried pulling back the rubber surround and seeing if there is a visible break that I could just solder but there isn't. May just need to make a whole new connection. I have not had a cable break on a headphone before...- BigDave

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
I just pulled out my original nighthawk cable (not balanced) as I had replaced it long ago with some cheap ones on ebay. I remember them dropping out on the left hand side and now there is no sound out of the left. Is it worth repairing these? Easy to do? I cannot seem to find if anyone had...- BigDave

iBasso DX90 Bug Thread - Post Any Firmware Bugs/Issues Here
Sigh, I am getting the random drop-outs on my dx90. I generally have my player on random. Only a 64gb card in it, Samsung evo plus. On firmware 2.5.1 Anyone else experiencing these random dropouts still? Was it solved? I cannot find it in the thread. cheers- BigDave

XDuoo X3 DSD 24Bit / 192KHz CS4398 Chip Lossless Music Player
What have people upgraded to from the x3? My battery life is shot on the x3 and I had not used my ibasso dx50 for a while and it will not charge properly either. Is the new x3 mark 2 a worthy upgrade?- BigDave

Yamaha HPH-200 (Pictures and review) [Updated]
Well, they are all open but the hph200 are the most forgiving and have the most bass presence. The grado's are clearer, more analytical but not as fun. The yamaha's were a bargain for what I paid, and only a third of the cost of the grado's. Gotta keep things in perspective. I do not listen...- BigDave
