    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...

    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...

    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.

    iBasso DX160 - The listening experience only gets better and better. ******NEW FW 1.09 - link 1st page.******

    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...

    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...

    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?

    post your grado mods....

    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...

    Grado modders go Magnum

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
