    Picked one of these up to replace the iBasso dongle which died on my after about a week. Really enjoying it! Aesthetics, not that it matters, are really nice. Sound wise I can't fault it, really pairs well with my Austrian Audios. Do have an issue with the USB C to USB A cable being...

    DC05 A single ended dual DAC converter for computer, phone or other devices. New firmware and Downloads!

    Well, the DC05 went back today. Worked for around a week before becoming very intermittent, would keep refusing to connect with some odd light behaviour, worse on Android but happened with Mac OS as well. Flashing new firmware did not fix. A shame.

    The clamp is definitely on the light side, bordering on being a negative for them, and this comes from a glasses wearer with not what one would describe as a petite head. Perhaps some QC around that area? I really struggle to imagine anyone would find it clamps too hard.

    I love the X65s flat, EQ only enhances for me, rather than specifically corrects.

    New - Austrian Audio Hi-X65

    I was the same. I miss the isolation a little, I'd love to compare these to the X60's. But man, they sound incredible and they're so comfortable. Without exaggeration, I've had them on since about 6pm, just listening to Tidal playlists. No heat, no fatigue whatsoever. You just can't get...

    Interesting that you have found the dongle to work fine with Tidal on the S20. I use with an S21 and whilst Tidal streams audio to the device, I am unable to control the volume without using the UAC app, which I don't like. Using the DAC with UAPP, and streaming Tidal on there, there are no...

    Do you have any recommendations on the EQ? I mean I am 50 or so hours in at this stage and even flat I'm hugely impressed by them, but these comments about things improving significantly with well placed eq'ing has certainly got me interested in experimenting.

    I have a DC05 on the way. Didn't want to spend a lot on a portable DAC for my new Samsung and this one seemed to offer good bang for buck. That being said, my intention was to use Tidal with this. Did I read someone say there are issues with Tidal?

    New - Austrian Audio Hi-X65

    Just picked up a set of these and so far I am enjoying them a lot. Really impressed with the detail retrieval, soundstage is as wide as I remember hearing in a headphone, instrument separation really clear and precise. Bass is neutral and comes across very tight and clean, no trace of...
