Thanks. the headphone input is loose though and it affects the sound when I play with it. it's too soon to open it now but I think I have to eventually. I fixed it with Kernel Streaming. should I install ASIO too? is it better? thanks for your reply.

Hi I just bought a second-hand ifi nano idsd(silver) and the problem is whatever I play with it the LED is GREEN, unless I change the DEFAULT FORMAT(16bit 44.1 khz by default) manually in PLAYBACK DEVICE setting to 96khz and 192khz then it change color to yellow and cyan and it stays on that...

I've had it for 3 days. no doubt about the power of E10k. its too much actually. I don't go higher than 2 on volume at low gain. SQ is a lot better than motherboard and BASS button is nice for some genres. I haven't heard Dragonfly's(or any other good DAC) yet so I'm gonna go on with it for now.

I hear the buzz they're talking about not only on "chandelier" some other tracks have weird hiss/buzz too. I think something is wrong with the record specially "this is acting" it's too bright and mushed. or maybe hd598 is not made for listening to these type of musics. about the DAC. before...

are there better DAC/AMPs at this price? and C'mon its not worse than iPhone!  How bad should I feel about this purchase?:/

I think e10k is enough for hd598. How do you like your 598 then? 

why Sia sounds horrible on my hd598 + e10k ? just wondering!

I fixed it!(kinda) :D   it was the thin pad that protects the driver from dust, I pushed it up and buzz is (90%)gone. still make some HISSSS noise but good news is drivers are fine!

  how should I fix this properly? 

nevermind I fixed it!(kinda) :D   it was the thin pad that protects the driver from dust and dirt, I pushed it up and buzz is (90%)gone.
