    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Can someone please recommend me an upgrade for DZAT-DF10s? I am in love with this IEMs sound signature and would love to try a "better" IEM with the same sound signature.

    The Takstar, Technical Pro, Gemini Greathon, CyberX, Qpad Thread

    Hello everyone. I know I'm a bit late to the party but I just received my pair of Hi2050s after glaring reviews I've been reading online for sometime. Unfortunately, I've been feeling a little let down. While they have fantastic detail and soundstage especially for this price, I'm finding them...

      Just wanted to thank you for posting this, warmed my heart. I am only 25 yet, and I have always imagined my old age just like you have described. So it was possible after all.   I wish you many more healthy years to come.

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Hey guys, I have a quick question regarding usind DX50 as external DAC. I am listening to music from foobar2000 in Wasapi mode, using DX50 as DAC and plugging my HD650s directly into the headphone out of DX50. With a setup like this, how should I control volume? Should I keep foobar2000 at...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

      I would say it's not as bad as people say. I am using it at work currently (open office and I work as a part of a group and sit close to my colleagues) and people tell me they do not hear the music I am listening, let alone being bothered by it. As long as you are not listening at full...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

      Thank you for the detailed answer. I had no idea. Regarding resolution, I am sometimes using my DX50 as a DAC and using foobar2000 in Windows. I plug my headphones into DX50 (without and amp) and making sure the volume on Windows is 100%. In that case, still am I listening to a lower resolution?

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Thank you for your answer. I have been using DX50 with HD650 and while I think DX50 drives it to an acceptable level, I am curious how much more it can benefit from an amp. Currently looking into portable amp options.

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    Hey, thank you for taking time and trying it out. It's a dealbreaker for me then. However, I think DX50 can drive HD650s at an acceptable level. Do I know nothing about amps and driving headphonesi or DX50 has a more powerful amp then NX1?

    Can this amp drive HD650s? I am using them with DX50 and I was wondering if this amp can drive it better.

    I recently started using DX50 and setting it up as DAC was pretty straightforward for me. After reading lots of posts here, I was expecting quite a hassle.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I had been using my HD650s with E10k and Schiit Vali for some time before trying them with Ibasso DX50. I plugged DX50 as DAC to my laptop and plugged HD650s straight into the DX50. And, yet again, I am amazed. How can it sound much much better from the previous setup? More detail, more lively...

      I have just received DX50 and it is well beyond my expectations. I never thought the difference between my smartphone (I know, I know) and DX50 would be so noticeable. And I think it drives HD650 just fine. I am so pleased with my purchase and I think it's time for Fiio E10k to go.

        Thank you for your confirmations people. I am looking forward to it even more now. One last question though, do you guys think if it can drive HD 650s to a reasonable level? (I am not expecting miracles anyway)

    The FiiO E10K--all-new DAC and amp stages

    I was using my E10k as a DAC using the line out and listening to my HD 650s through Schiit Vali. This little hero is so good that I ended up selling Vali and plugging my HD 650s directly to the E10k. This baby is that good. The reason behind selling Vali was being a bad match for my cans (I...
