    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I had this issue with my iBasso DX150. Instead of trying to push it deeper or pull it out, I used a small flat head screwdriver and pushed the SD card up and down to jiggle it back into the push-out mechanism. Worked better than I thought, hope it works for the R3 as well. Quick question from...

    iBasso DX150. Dual dacs and interchangeable AMPs. **NEW Firmware that supports AMP9! ** New FIRMWARE 1.05 Dec 30.

    I TOTALLY forgot that the DX150 came with a coaxial cable! Thanks for reminding me, I went through my DX150 box to salvage the coaxial cable I stored because I thought I would never use it haha

    I'm a bit confused, especially the last part. I am trying to use my DX150 as a source of music to send data to a desktop amp with USB-B, coaxial, and optical digital inputs. In this case, would I use the USB-C of my DX150 or the line out? (or would either work?)

    Oh, I was unaware I can't use the DX150's USB C as digital out, guess it's not possible to test any DACs then :frowning: Thanks!

    Quick question regarding the DX150. The other day, I wanted to test out some dac/amps and headphones using my DX150 as source. I connected my DX150 to the dac/amp via USB-C⇒USB-B but the DX150 did not output anything to the dac/amp. Is it even possible to connect the DX150 to a desktop dac/amp...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Thank you for the input. Yep, definitely understand the fact that the HD800S are relatively picky in terms of source/the entire line up from source to HD800S. I did look for a used HDVA600 and HDVD800 as well but could not find any locally =/ Noted on the Jotunheim, I read comments that since...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    My power strip has 4 outlets so no issue there, and I think it can withstand up to 125V so should have no issue. Also found another review in the $35 transformer that states it works without issue with the Valhalla 2; I'm surprised so many people are buying these transformers just for Schiit...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    I actually found a step-up transformer (1 input and output, 100V⇒120V) for around 30 USD and one of the reviews mentions that it works with the Magni 3. If I get a Bifrost + Valhalla, would I need to get 2 of these transformers or can I connect a power strip to the transformer and connect the...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Amazon Japan has it up for 27,807 JPY which is around 250 USD =/ Just to confirm, seems like this transformer converts between 100V and 120V (both ways), no issues with running the 115V Schiit products?

    Thanks for the share! That is quite an expensive converter though, an additional $250...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Mjolnir and Gungnir would be out of budget, but as you mentioned, I think the Jotunheim or Bifrost + Valhalla combo should suffice my needs. Nope, I have yet to get the HD800S and was not aware of the voucher, thanks for this heads up! I assume you use the HD800S with the balanced XLR? Thanks...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Hi all, Been a while since I came to this section in headfi, as I was quite content with what I have. However, I believe I have contracted the all to familiar "upgradetitus", and this time its a severe case. I am now looking for what will probably be my end game setup (or at least a long term...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    e-earphone, it's one of the bigger audio shops in Japan. They had a demo R3 and R6 when it came out so pretty sure they will have the R3 Pro as well.

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Ah I also considered the HIDIZ AP80 Pro, but after seeing the AP80, it's a bit too small for my liking. The build is really nice though, just want a bigger screen. Nope, trying to sell my DX150 directly to the shop that I plan to buy my R3 Pro. I can probably get a bit more out of it if I put...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Yea same here, I'm waiting to sell my DX150 first, or at least take a listen to an R3 Pro. Seems like there are no shops that currently have it up on display =/ I'm currently also looking at the Fiio M9; main reason being that my FIBAE ME uses 2.5mm and I would prefer not to recable. I can't...
