    Oppo Sonica DAC (an affordable ES9038PRO Sabre DAC)

    ROON is also being looked into, but I have my doubts that it will ever be added to any of our product line due to a general lack of support we have received from system integration and streaming service partners.

    Oppo Sonica DAC (an affordable ES9038PRO Sabre DAC)

    We really did not do any driver updates for the HA-1 because we did not run into any compatibility issues that required new firmware. This is similar to the HA-2 only having a single firmware upgrade because we found Mac OSX was not properly negotiating 24-bit.   For MQ this is something that...

    Oppo Sonica DAC (an affordable ES9038PRO Sabre DAC)

    We re not looking to make another amplifier product at this time. But this can change depending on customer demand and engineering itches.   The HA-1 would be able to drive the Sennheiser headphones at a reasonable listening level, particularly if you are using the balanced outputs. It will...

    Oppo Sonica DAC (an affordable ES9038PRO Sabre DAC)

      Sorry for the late reply, I have been very busy at work supporting our new line of products, including the Sonica DAC. The Sonica DAC uses op-amps and the output is AC coupled.

    You have to remember that European pricing is substantially higher than our own when you convert the currency, but on part if you just look at the numbers. For example, the HA-2SE is $299 in the US but £289 in Europe.

      I've always recommended this USB-C to micro-USB-B adapter to customers and have not had anyone complain.   You may also need to enable Developer Tools on your phone and make sure that you have set USB Mode to MTP and set Disable USB Audio to OFF.

    OPPO Relases updated HA-2SE Headphone Amplifier With New ESS Sabre32 Reference ES9028-Q2M DAC

      I personally do not have any knowledge on why it doesn't work, but it can be for several reasons, such as the HA-2SE needing to do analog to digital (A/D), additional licensing costs, or limitation of the specifications for using an external DAC for Android and iOS devices. So all I can say...
