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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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...- makarushka

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.- makarushka

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...- makarushka
