iBasso DX160 - The listening experience only gets better and better. ******NEW FW 1.09 - link 1st page.******
I have also used the dx160 as an external dac & had no problems & I own it to use as a portable music source. this is not the only connectivity issue I have found with the dx160, but i dont require bluetooth from a dap. the amp connects to my note 9 easily, so no problems there. I might try...- matchbox

iBasso DX160 - The listening experience only gets better and better. ******NEW FW 1.09 - link 1st page.******
@samandhi- I have connected the dx160 to the schiit through the single-ended jack many times, however, now that i have had the dac chip installed, I would rather connect that way. my dx160 will not recognize the amp when connected via usb-c. since I'm without a computer for backing up files, it...- matchbox

iBasso DX160 - The listening experience only gets better and better. ******NEW FW 1.09 - link 1st page.******
hello there, my dx160, which I've had since 2021, is not connecting to the schiit asgard 3 that I normally use. the amp uses the unison usb-c connector for the installed dac. is there something I can do about this or fix the problem? I'm using the latest firmware upgrade.- matchbox

hello, I've had the dx160 for just under a week & its a definite improvement over the dx120, sound-wise, using the 3.5mm & 4.4mm ports. not so crazy about the build, & "extra" features, but I'm not really complaining. there is something I would like some help with, if it is possible: I can't...- matchbox

looking for a new DAP any suggestions?
Hello- I'm looking for a DAP to replace my barely functioning FIIO X5ii. I'm trying to stay at around four hundred US. So far the iBasso DX120 looks like an improvement. Presently using a pair of Audeze EL-8 titanium & a pair of elevenacoustica drivers which I made mahogany cups for two or so...- matchbox

post your grado mods....
I'm sure your skills exceed mine... I'll have to get quotes for USPS / shipping. This does seem like a good opportunity to get more opinions about the R1's (& maybe some suggestions / critique of the cups too). Can you PM me the town / area where you get your mail?- matchbox

Hello everybody- Interesting new look. I have had some good interaction with many of you on these Grado related forums & need to ask a favor: Since one chapter of my life has wound down & a new one is starting, I have found myself on the other side of the US & without the tools I would be able...- matchbox

Quote: My two cents: I have no experience with making these types of measurements– I would think that both sets of drivers would have to have had the same amount of break-in time before the measurements are made. I personally do not think that even forty hours of use is enough...- matchbox

You will need an adapter to keep the px100-ii driver in place if you can manage to keep it intact after removing the sr60 driver.- matchbox

Grado Modders Go Ypsilon (Elleven Acoustica drivers and builds thread)
That's true, one can definitely go too far with opening vent holes– I can't go past four with a wood cup, or the bass starts to sound bloated. I would not touch the R1's too, but seeing as I may have altered the sound beyond remedy, it seems easier to "experiment". Plus, your Gradeze seems to...- matchbox

Grado Modders Go Ypsilon (Elleven Acoustica drivers and builds thread)
thanks, I may try something like this in the future. I recently assembled a pair of R1's using these: http://www.head-fi.org/t/119314/post-your-grado-mods/7530#post_13112694 & immediately gave them a listen. My first impression was similar to others' in this thread. More detailed, a little...- matchbox
