    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    FWIW, I have only owned the Vegas and tried the Andromeda and Atlas. The Vegas and Atlas are okay, not for the price, though. The Andromedas are good if you like that kind of sound signature. While I have never RMA with them, there was one occasion where I emailed them with an issue on my...

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    I have tested it on my S22U, and it works well. For iPhone, though, it is a bit finicky. Using ddhifi lightning to c otg the phone would detect the dongle (BTD 600 in my case) as requiring too much power. With other random adapters/otgs that I have lying around, the Bluetooth dongle works well...

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    Honestly, at this point, I'll just make away with the Bluetooth dongle and connect directly with the phone itself since I faced more connection issues (connection drop, static noise, crackling noise) with the BTD 600 dongle than I have, the marginal improvement in the quality is not worth the...

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    The only place where it would not work directly is with iPhone (i.e., USB C to lightning cable), where you'd need an OTG. iPad, Android, PC, and Mac work with any generic USB C cable. As general info for iPhone users, with iPhone, you'd need to turn ON the DAC mode first before plugging it into...

    Shanling UP5 - Our new flagship portable Bluetooth DAC/AMP

    Sorry for asking a possibly dumb question here since this is my first experience using a Bluetooth DAC. Does Bluetooth DAC work the same way as it does with wired DAC (i.e., I need to set my phone digital volume to max and adjust the playback volume through the DAC)? As this UP5 is my first...

    Dethonray Honey H1 - USB DAC/AMP

    Agree that it sounds really good (it's more on SE in my case), that's why I'm conflicted. It changed the sound unfavorably if I may say. With BAL, the music sounds a tad veiled or muddy, while it is crispy and a tad clear on SE. My understanding is if there's any difference between the two, it...

    Dethonray Honey H1 - USB DAC/AMP

    Do you have any plan to get it RMA'ed? I have contacted Anson, and he believes that 4.4 should be louder than 3.5 on SE (as it should be). He suggested reflashing the firmware (both the USB SAxxx and the audio firmware). Have flashed multiple times, different firmware, same settings for the...

    Dethonray Honey H1 - USB DAC/AMP

    Does anybody here still experiencing bugs or issues with their unit? I have a couple of issues that I'd like to check if it has been solved (or if anyone is aware that Anson is working on a fix):. Inconsistent firmware. I like 3.6 (sensitive IEM) more than the general 3.3 for my IER-Z1R due to...

    Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery

    Yes, that's what I've been doing if I wanted to use the Kann as USB DAC for my iPad. It is weird though, as I have been using Mojo, and HiFi M8 as USB DAC for iPhone or iPad without this power problem. It is also notwithstanding the fact that Kann comes with an internal battery/power. Maybe...

    Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery

    Hi. While I’m able to connect my Kann to my iPad Pro using a CCK, I cannot seem to do so without at the same time connecting the CCK with a power supply. If the CCK is connected “as is” without connection to any power supply, the error message will get triggered.

    Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery

    Hi Shetzu, Thank you for your detailed guidance on how to connect the KANN as USB DAC to my Mac. So the problem for me was the I seem to use several faulty USB cables or cables which the Kann does not like. When I connected the Kann with the custom USB cable that I used to use with my then...

    Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery

    Hi Shetzu, I have tried to connect my Kann as USB DAC to my Mac, but it is not recognised, which is unusual. Typically my Mac will instantly recognise external USB DAC devices, like my Mojo, HiFi M8, Fiio X5-iii and DX-200. I have tried to restart both my Kann and my Mac, albeit with no joy. I...

    Yes, this is precisely the response that I'm waiting for. My initial statement is not meant that it is a fact, but something of a possibility. And I'm really grateful for having feedback from a user like you

    DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***

    Wow is there even need to be that savage with your reply? I've never said that the new products should not offer new features, as it's not even my point here. What I grieved about having not too long ago having to cashed my hard earned Money for AMP2, with a mind, that AMP5 would be better...

    DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***

    Having read through your review, it seems that AMP5 is an upgrade to AMP2. While I'm okay with AMP5 being a sidegrade to AMP2, I feel cheated by iBasso if AMP5 is significantly better than AMP2. The reason why I jumped the gun with AMP2 because I thought that AMP would be intended more for an...
