    iBasso DX80 . . impressions and reviews. . and discussion NEW FW: 1.6.0 ** link . . 1st page . . .

    I got my dx80 a few days ago and quite like it so far. I have nothing to complain about in terms of sound with my Etymotic er-4s. The USB DAC feature works well with my macbook and my iPhone/iPad (with CCK).   However, the library management needs improvement, in particular since the dx80...

    iBasso DX80 Bug Thread - Post Any Firmware Bugs/Issues Here

    I have two complaints about the UI: 1) in the track list, or album list, scrolling is very erratic: it is unpredictable weather a "up-swipe' starts an inertial scroll or not. 2) in the same list view, a swipe left should move to the "currently playing" screen, but this only works if the swipe...

    This only works for the track which is currently playing, not in the menus where you choose a track/an album.   Also, when I go to "Music Info", either from the track list, or from the currently playing display, the tags are cut off, even though half the screen is empty.

    Hi, I just got my dx80 and I can't figure out how it handles long track names. Is there an option to have the names scroll? Essentially all my track names of classical music are cut off. If there is no such option, I hope a future firmware upgrade will add it!

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    I've had the HA-2 for a week and did not have any drop outs with my iOS 9.2 devices (iPhone 6S, ipad Air 2). Only issue: when the device sleeps for a while without playing audio, I sometimes have to reconnect. But never during play.

    Hi, has anyone here heard both the Pioneer xdp-100r and the new iBasso dx80, and can give a brief comparison?

    Pioneer's first DAP, the XDP-100R announced in IFA

    Is it known whether the version of the XDP-100r sold in the US has the same volume limit as the European versions?

    For me it would be 1) Two SD Slots  2) Use as DAC for iPhone/iPad via Apple CCK. 3) SQ   It seems that 2) is causing some problems. Did anyone get it to work (iOS 9.2)?

    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)

    thathertz: Not warmer than luke warm. Never hot. It seems to be receding though (or I am getting used to it). Maybe it'll go away with burn in. Hopefully.

    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)

    I am absolutely sure. It seems to be coming from the power connection.

    Cambridge DACMagic, anyone? (THREAD II)

    Hi, I just received my DACMagic as well, and I am very happy with the sound. When the DAC is connected (say via USB) and no sound is playing, there is a low but very noticable and irritating humming sound coming from the DAC. Once I start playing music the humming ceases (I checked by turning...

    Favorite Classical Concerto

    Reviving a great thread... My favorite concertos (at the moment): Piano: Busoni, Prokofiev 2, Barber Recordings: Hamelin for Busoni, and for Prokofiev 2, it's very close between Gutierrez, Ashkenazy and Tozer, Browning/Slatkin for Barber Cello: Prokofiev's Sinfonia-Concertante, Barber...

    Sviatoslav Richter or Martha Argerich?

    I love both Richter and Argerich immensely. Concerning Prokofiev: It's hard to compare them, because their Prokofiev recordings have almost no overlap, if I am not mistaken: Argerich recorded the first and third concertos, Richter the first (1954) and fifth. Richter recorded a bunch of sonatas...
