    Reply to review by 'drftr' on item 'iBasso DX260 Digital Audio Player'

    What's the rubber Dr. Headphone bands for, Steve? To keep the bottom cooler? To avoid vibrations from picking up for the NuTubes? Other?

    Wouldn't 50 at digital give you way more options as you can fine tune to the upside as well? Not sure whether IF you use digital there's a quality difference depending where at the range you're at. Perhaps you've tried? drftr

    What is considered best practise for using volume on iBasso D16? I need my 100 steps but since D16 has both analog and digital volume control what is best SQ-wise? Avoid digital at all? Or if it's done in a great way avoid analog at all? Or use analog for reaching the "normal/regular" volume...

    Good thinking! Yes, that would be another option. Will read up and see where / if I can demo it. drftr

    Yes that might be it! Will look into comparisons this weekend. Possibly Alex did a write-up as I think he uses or used LPGT as his neutral review DAP. If true then he probably used it for his R8 II review too (assuming he has one but I think I can safely bet my mum on that). drftr

    I'd prefer a truly portable option as it will live in my backpack for hopefully 3 or more years on my next trip. Ideally it's as clean and musical sounding as P6k but with more power to keep Onyx' bass in check. If that is possible at all. drftr

    Being a PAW6000 owner it makes me wonder whether I should try Onyx with Mjölnir? Perhaps P6k doesn't have enough power to reign in the bass? I wouldn't call mids recessed at all and instead would call it the exact opposite. But yes, when the track has a normal dose of bass in it I find bass...

    Suggesting because of the recent releases I liked Ony and Volür best; the latter having better bass quality and the former having dramatically better mids. Quantity in bass is similar though a tad too much for these ears. A tight or uncoloured source does help. drftr

    Since you also adore your mids have you demoed Onyx? I think you have but not 100% sure. drftr
