    Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot

    It's Sandisk Ultra 200GB. It has about 1200 songs, all in FLAC format. This exactly card and its content I used in the X7 before without any issue (I don't have the X7 anymore though). It seem to happen randomly to any song but I cannot recall for sure. I'll try to find out if it happen to some...

    Hi Fiio,   I just got the X5III few days ago and only able to play with it since yesterday. I run into a serious issue. The audio suddenly cut off in the middle of the song. Sometime I can play several songs before this happen, other time audio stop as soon as second song.   When the audio...

    Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot

    Hi Fiio, The balance control of the X5III has very little effect. When I pull the slider to R10 or L10 the sound only reduce a little on the opposite side (which suppose to be quiet). Is that normal?

    = HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =

    Thanks @raybone0566 I see that one too but I have no idea about quality. I bought 1 from Guitar Center but it not fit very well to my C5. That and the 1/4" plug itself together they make a huge plug.   @DavidA What kind of Mogani cable you use for your headphone? I'm looking at the W2534. Do...

    I don't have amp with 6.5mm at the moment, going to drive it with the Cayin C5 which many people seem satisfied. If the BIG cable does not make any different in sound I just replace the plug then. The Viablue 3.5 look very attractive.    Other reason as Midgetguy said, stock cable is a bit too...

    Hi friends,   I just got the HE560 and surprise because it came with 6.5mm plug. I intend to replace it with the 3.5mm plug. The other option is upgrade the whole cable which is expensive. So before I mess it up please give some advise:   Does stock cable suck?   Does this cable...

    Cayin i5 Lossless Android DAP with AKM4490 DAC supporting 32/384 PCM + 64/128 DSD

    This is what I think: when use LO function the output level is fix at max and by pass the internal amp. The volume knob only control the internal amp output, it's not control the LO output. What I mean is in LO mode the output level and volume is separated.   Having said that, could you please...

    Cayin i5 Lossless Android DAP with AKM4490 DAC supporting 32/384 PCM + 64/128 DSD

    What do you mean about the line out with max volume?   The i5 has LO/HO combine. However, I thought that the LO suppose to be by pass the internal amp which is not volume controllable. It should has the soft setting switch. It's not make sense when use external amp with LO while LO already amp...
