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...- Kagelou

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- Kagelou

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?)- Kagelou

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!- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou

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?- Kagelou

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

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...- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou

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.- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou

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...- Kagelou
