    Chord Mojo or Ifi Micro iDSD for use with HP's

    Hi. I recently bought the Hifiman Arya which I love. I also own HD650's and HD800's. Usually, I operate those with a Topping A90 and BiFrost with USB Upgrade, but since the Arya's are new and I am travelling the next few weeks, I thought I'd take them with me. I own both the Chord Mojo (1)...

    Topping A90

    Sure, I get that, however, I am trying to learn, and in terms of comparing measurement sheets, what/how do I compare them, to know how they compare SE?

    How are you determining that?

    Topping A90

    Hi. How can I compare the SE performance of the A90, to the SE performance of the Carbon X? I don't have a way of listening to the A90, but one of my primary reasons to consider the A90 to replace my Carbon X, is I want a 1 stop Amp that can handle all my headphones well, rather than have one...

    Carbon X v Topping A90 v Drop 789

    A while ago, I purchased through Drop, the Cavalli Carbon X. I really like it, but I read that it's balanced performance is much higher/better than it's single ended, and since only my HD800S is balanced, and my Beyer T1 Gen1 is SE, along with my HD650's, I was thinking it would be better for me...

    Hi. I have misplaced my Monster Copper Turbine Pro's which I am unhappy about, and need a suitable replacement. I am looking for something that sounds fantastic, is very very comfortable and easy to drive. I am not a bass head, but I am sibilance sensitive. I love details but I also like my...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    @iFi audio Yes thanks, things appear to be working well. One thing I'd like to clarify, there is no magenta LED on the iDSD Micro, correct? So it's likely I am getting MQA even without it? Is there a way to confirm within the Tidal app?

    Wow nice catch @antenorhs I didn't notice it seems to have been bumped to the on position from off. I didn't checked it since I never touch those switches! Thanks, I was worried.

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    Connected via USB to my laptop even youtube is pretty quiet. Is it recommended to use the drivers from the IFI website or just use Windows 10 built in drivers? I assume I can't use the IFI Control Panel with the built in drivers? Seems like it's not the drivers though as it's quiet attached to...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    I am having sudden issues with my Micro DSD unit. I upgraded it to 5.3 firmware and when I went into Tidal it said it had exclusive access to MQA (though still no purple light) but the volume is disabled. I installed the latest drivers as well and that is set to Max volume. The problem is the...

    4490 Upgrade for BiFrost 1

    Hi. I have tried contacting Schiit a couple of times, but I found that I never got around to installing the 4490 upgrade that I bought, into my Bifrost and as such I'd like to do that, but no instructions for installation came in the box, or on their website, and no response to the last 2...

    Sonarworks Headphone Calibration software

    So I heard about Sonarworks and on Black Friday got a deal and purchased it. Didn't get a lot of time to evaluate it, but I think I am doing something wrong. There seems to be zero difference in sound between it on and off? I have specified the headphones HD800S, and the output to my BiFrost...
