    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    In its natural habitat. :beyersmile: Have tried my new A/B switcher and it is really hard to hear some differences between the Massdrop and the Nutube. The Massdrop is one hell of a machine, so kudos to the Nutube that it can step up to it! Only question for me now is if I should keep both...

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    Finished the build last evening. It just looks phenomenal!!! Thanks Pete for the opportunity and also sharing everything from assembly manual to BOM. There is one thing I've stumbled upon: In the BOM on your website, there are 35V/470uF Nichicon large caps mentioned. In the BOM on the Mouser...

    FiiO is Giving Out 2 Free K3 Headphone Amplifier & USB-C DAC! Wanna win one? Simply reply to this thread on/before 12.12!

    Oh, totally forgot, I own now an A1, which is more or less a "impedance lowering" adapter and a volume remote control!

    I'm in! I also first learned about Fiio when I was looking for a new MP3 player. Might be that I found something about Fiio on the German "Hifi-Forum". In the end, I bought a Sony player...

    Custom Art FIBAE Black Announcement

    Wow, those measurements looks like the Etymotic ER3/4XR! (More or less with some minor differences) Now I'm tempted... (Especially after having such a good first entcounter with Piotr - Service is top notch!)

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    Thx Pete! I got some problems with the availabilty of two components and maybe some more might have this problem: Two components from KEMET are at least here in Germany not available. EC2-24NJ SU9V-05020 For the low signal relay I've found some alternative from Omrom and Panasonic. They're...

    "Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube

    Just ordered one a week ago and thought I bought a cheap TKD 2CP601 via Ebay. It turned out that I bought a 1kOhm one and not 10kOhm... Tried to find it on the schematics but didn't find it. Am I right that 1kOhm is just to low and would not work?

    Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player

    So I ran into a problem the second time today: When I was turning on the N5ii from sleep, I didn't hear any usic playing. Had this one time before and with unplugging headphones, hit pause, hit play plugging headphones in etc., I got it working. The display tells me that the track is played...

    Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player

    Sounds strange, what is the time before the unit shuts down in idle mode? I have charged it in the night from Sat to Sun last weekend. Have played maybe half an hour until today and it still has 97%. I would also think that a third party app might prevent the unit to shut himself off but you...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Got the ZS6 from Aliexpress and have to say that I'm really pleased with them. Sound open, airy with enough bass. The only thing I don't like is the "dip" around 5-6kHz which I can hear especially with a slightly recessed sounding snare drum. Got this sound also from the B400 from Brainwavz and...

    Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player

    Don't know if this has been adressed but did you use the "idle shutdown"? My experience with Android overall is that the system has to be in an idle state with the least amount of battery usage. Otherwise, the battery will die within two to three day. Edit: Page 12 in the manual btw. Swipe down...

    Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player

    Hi folks, got the N5ii now for ten days and so far I'm quite pleased with the design, the UI and the sound. Only thing I didn't find also in the manual is something like a "hold" button. Is there some way that I can lock the buttons and the volume control? Edit: All right... Should have...

    What the $^&# heck is it?.........iFi iEMatch!

    Just a quick question: If I would use my iEMatch with an out impedance of around 4 Ohm (i. e. my Sony NWZ-A15), what output impedance would the iEMatch have? Is it also around 1 Ohm in ultra settings?
