CoiL, I got that $6,95 Philips PCC189 tube you mentioned.    Even though it is still burning in, I already like it more than the Heerlen Mullard ECC88 I have. From the outside though, they look very very similar.    It sure sounds better than the Gold Lion. I could have bought 10 Philips...

Quote:   Right, that is the one that came with my T1. There is also a gold pin version. How unfair yet entirely recognizable!

Quote:   Coil, I have a Genalex Gold Lion that now has had about 25 hours of playing time in the T1. It sounds great, but not earth shatteringly better compared to the stock tube.   I am not at all qualified to do this, but I will try and do a comparison between the Gold Lion and the...

Quote:   Grevlin, look at page 1 of this thread. Joeq70 already started doing exactly what you are looking for.

Quote:   Congrats! The postman delivered a Gold Lion to me today. Very intense tube in the T1 so far...

Thanks, NZtechfreak!   EQ control I understand. That is -I think- an alteration made to the outgoing signal made before it is passed to the DAC. EQ information is part and parcel of the data stream, so to say.   If I understand you correctly, volume level can be a component embedded in...

Okay, about re-amplifying an amplified signal. Here is something that puzzles me.   I have an international T-Mobile Galaxy S3 and an iBasso D-Zero. USB audio out via the supplied OTG cable to the DAC works flawlessly. But changing the volume on the smartphone, changes the volume of the...

Quote:   Paul, I am hardly qualified to review headphones and amp/dacs. I am very, very new at this and I have no other devices to compare sound quality with...   What I can say is that when MY ears judge several configs of Galaxy S3 and D-Zero, this is how I rate them using Poweramp...

Quote:   Right, USB Micro B male to Mini B male. It specifically needs to be an OTG cable, not just any old USB cable.

Quote:   McNikk, it came with the D-Zero. In the box was a regular USB to mini charging cable, a 3.5 to 3.5 mm interconnect and the USB OTG cable. Good thinking by iBasso!    Unfortunately the included OTG lead already died on me. When the D-Zero is attached to the back of the Galaxy...

D-Zero USB OTG hooked up to Galaxy S3. Works like a charm...   This is nice... I just received an iBasso D-Zero bought directly from the manufacturer. I had no idea that a short USB OTG cable is included in the box now.     The cable is marked iBasso Audio - Android 4.0 & Above USB...

I did, I tried that several times. And also different varieties. No difference.   It would be great when Apple would be a bit more lenient towards alternative approaches on how people prefer to use their products. But I won't hold my breath.   Thanks!

Hey guys and gals, I have found much knowledge here on Head-Fi just by searching and reading. But now I think I need help. So a question from a long time lurker.   I have done a lot of reading on the Aune T1 over here and on Rock Grotto, a British forum. Since many people liked this dac/amp...
