Turns out I kinda had the reverse issue, at least by the looks of it. FW 3.31 was released to address an issue whereby the percentage meter was inaccurate, 3.3.2 was released to deal with a further bug which showed battery incorrectly at 100% (due to fw 3.3.1) i updated to 3.3.2. This completely...

Hi, Thanks for your response. Im not too fussed about the accuracy of the percent meter as long as the battery lasts as it should. Im just wondering if this is kinda normal behaviour for the percentage meter, as everytime I have every seen a device do this, the battery is always on the way...

Hi Just picked up a fiio x7, it is fantastic condition all screen protectors, cases etc but I wanna hear something from other owners. I know how to manage the battery life on Android, but this dap is just dropping battery life, in the space of one song it lost 20%, screen is on lowest...

Hi all   Got a fully functional fiio e18 tested with both a z3 and g3, but with my new z5 it seems to not work (in dac/amp mode) at all unless you plug it in and then restart the phone (which restarts in safe mode). If this isnt done audio just comes out of the speakers, any ideas?   Thanks ...

Hey, Went with a zxperia z3 that I found for £100, as I have heard good things about the audio and I need another phone for one or two reasons. Figured if im still not happy, which is likely, I will go a and get an e18 or something simalar at some point down the line, or in about 5 mins time...

Sorry if this has been covered before,    Bascially im looking for a good source to drive dunu 2000j's been running through a few sources but just plugged them into my home audio and, well, wow. used ie80, re 600s etc but these turned out to be my fav so far.   Basically im wondering should...

Hi,   Just bought these headphones and they are great, however there is a noticeable hiss when playing audio via my Hifiman hm700, although this is not present on other sources. I was aware that this would happen due to the ridiculously low impedance.   So does anyone have either a...

Hi,   I ordered the re 600 and the HM700 player back in march, and I now starting my second rma on these headphones (the hm700 is fine) can someone tell me if this is a known issue with hifiman and these earphones at all?   After 6 months the first set broke, one earbud started to cut out...

Budget is around £300, could do more if worth it.   I currently have ie80s and they sound great but my ears just dont fit with them!! I find it hard to get a goo seal espcially if I wear them upwards rather than downwards.   I am looking for headphones in the still of the ie 800 or grado...

I ended up going for the beresford 7510, got it for £74.10 on ebay, hopefully will get it ok from the seller. Seems to have very good user reviews, five stars on what hifi and a god review from techradar, so hopefully will live up to the reviews

Thanks for your responses, Sorry if i am in the wrong forum its just it will connected via my pc via optical, so I figured this is the best place.   Gonna check those suggestions out in a bit.   The DAC first, then amp is fine  for me, the amp wont be too far behind and, as notox101, said i...

Thanks.   I understand that an amp would be needed as well as the DAC, but what I am getting at is if I buy a dac for say £100 would the audio produced be better than an dac/amp for £100. As I said not fussed about buying the dac first and the amp a bit later on.

Thanks for the reply.   Forgot to mention, dont care about portable I have cx980's which work well enough with my portable device/s. This would just be for home audio.

Sorry I know this has probably been covered 4 million times,   Main use will be for music from pc, current using a dgx which is not that great and that's driving HD518's but will eventually be looking to upgrade to something more higher end, prob HD650, but wanna start with dac first, then...
