    Dethonray Dtr1 Prelude high resolution player

    Did Anson mention the procedure to "revive" the unit was possible to undertake by the end user? My DTR1+ also died in the exact same fashion about 10 days ago, and I would love to not have to send it anywhere if the fix is just some sequence of buttons to press followed by a firmware upgrade or...

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.

    You sure it's the same problem? Mine does not show ANY indication of the analog side being charged -- the "A%" does not change the color to green; nothing happens. I just did a factory reset and now it shows 0 charge on the analog side, there is no sound coming through, and no charging of the...

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.

    Sad to report that my unit (#245) has a serious problem: it stopped charging the analog side! It worked for a couple days as I have been putting it through the discharge cycles playing music into a pair of IEMs. It finished a third cycle earlier today. I plugged in the cables to charge it again...

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.

    +1 on this! With these buttons always active, they engage on accident very easily, so I basically have to disable them altogether. Having an option for them to be active only when the screen is unlocked -- like on many other Android-based DAPs -- would be very useful indeed. My other personal...

    Modhouse Audio Argon - T50RP MK2/3 & T60RP

    Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. It certainly helps and gives some very useful context. I, too, have and love the Cascades. Does X-Bass on iCAN get the T60rp Argon to anywhere near the Cascade's low end in extension and impact? I do know what you mean about...

    Modhouse Audio Argon - T50RP MK2/3 & T60RP

    Anyone here can comment specifically on how the T60RP Argon compares to its unmodified self, the stock T60RP? I was able to find some comments comparing t60rp Argons to t50mkIII Argons (which I have not heard) but nothing really out there quantifying the difference the Argon mod brings to the...

    Mine has been on for close to 250 hours by now, and over 200 of them playing music, gloriously and trouble-free.

    Flux Lab Acoustics Dual Mono Headphone Amplifier, VOLOT - Mythical Giant or Giant Killer ? News, Speculation, Impressions, reviews and discussion

    My Volot has been here for a week, powered on the whole time, and now approaching 75 hours or so of pushing signal into various dynamic headphones. Very interesting to read your impressions -- especially because mine are a bit different and I was actually starting to consider adding the FA-12 to...

    FiiO's Crown Jewel of Portable Music Player M11 Plus LTD Is Officially Released!

    @FiiO Can you tell us specifically if you have shipped any M11 Plus LTD units to audio46? I placed my order with them a month ago; they are telling me that not only do they not know when they may get a shipment from you but that also their own inquiries to you are not given a ship date either...

    Shanling M3X Portable Player - Our smallest Android Player

    Hi @Shanling -- just got the M3X a week ago, and generally am incredibly happy and impressed with the unit all-around; good job on this one! I do have one concern, and that is the fairly slow start up time. Without an mSD card, the boot up slowish but it's bearable. After I added a 400G MicroSD...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Thanks for the explanation Jason. I didn't ask or expect a change to the just released product; merely to consider this for the future. This revelatory suggestion can only come from someone who didn't have to switch between headphones and monitors tens of times a day -- or over a hundred...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Right! Well,THAT's good thing :) Hmm, that's truly bizarre, IMO. Who wants to listen to a sound source while also hearing leakage from another? I guess maybe if it's a sub... I do understand that you have actual data as to what your customers want but you have to agree that what truly makes...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    ABSOLUTELY! The lack of switchable pre/headphone outs by means of a physical switch is the single reason I myself have not purchased a Jotunheim a long time ago. I use headphone amp/dac/pre combo devices for my work as well as occasional listening for pleasure, and switch between headphones and...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    +1 big time!!! Personally I hope it won't be a slot-loader, either. Give me a tray or a top-loader. The latter probably easier and cheaper to implement and always more reliable in the long run.

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    Yes, got it. Schiit support was very prompt and I had a replacement unit in two days after I placed the support email and dropped off the broken one. = I have no idea what specifically was wrong. The new replacement unit does not exhibit the issue so far during one week of operation. The tubes...
