    FiiO BTR7 - a big improvement over BTR5 or a machine much like the mini M17

    I need advice, I want to buy either BTR3k, BTR5 2021, BTR7 for convenience but sound quality is the primary consideration. I really hate ear piercing treble, I like the sound presentation of the iPod video 5.5 and Fiio Q1 MKII (kinda warm signature). which one of the above can you recommend me...

    New Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter ($39) - an official answer for USB DAC and iPad??

    I also noticed iPhone audio (through USB) is not as sweet as audio from PC. In using iPhone X ios 13, dragonfly black, FiiO Q1 MKII, odac revB. All sound good on PC but on iPhone the sound is degraded(sounds a little harsh and not as spacious). Did you find why? Or how to rectify it?

    audioquest dragonfly black v1.5 amp bypass (for external amp)mod

    After being disappointed in the audio quality from dragonfly black I decided to track down the source of audio degradation. I opened the device (by cutting the housing) and bypassed the headphone amp by connecting an external amp to the Ess DAC output and I was stunned by the resulting sound. I...

    The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!

    I googled it and I found a review where they said it has circuit that removes DC offset. I then did measurement (using multi-meter) of DC on iPod output and compare it to amp output (which read 0 mV). I concluded it's safe to remove the caps for E7 and E17 you can try the same (I can't do that...

    The Apple diyMod: My Take on the Famous iMod [56k killer] Featuring 3G, 4G, 5G and nano 1G!

    Hello! after doing some research, I found that FiiO E11 removes DC offset so, I made DC measurement on the FiiO E11 output after removing caps and I found: 0.00mV while the input had 1mV (left) 1.2mV(right).  I removed LOD caps completely and I'm enjoying full quality ( I can notice the difference).

    Finally, I modded my iPod 5.5 and this is  what I did; I removed the caps near the DAC, removed inductors near the dock and routed the signal as directed in this thread, I could not find "black gate" caps so, I took caps I could find on the computer motherboard (47uf 6V) because of their size...
