    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (24-bit/192KHz)

    Just a heads up that I tested my Note 3 with a Yulong D100 and it works perfect.  Detects it as 96khz though.  Would rather it output 44.1khz and let the DAC do all the upsampling to be honest

    Tuning sound with different tips

    Hey guys. Just wanting to discuss and gather opinions on using different ear bud tips to alter the sound signature of your earphones. In my previous experience, I find that out of a set of 3 different sized silicone tips that the largest appears to give me the best bass performance and that the...

    K701 thread

    So can anyone tell me the difference between the K701, Q701 and K702?   http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=703&graphID[]=2621&graphID[]=2931   As far as I can tell, the Q701 is simply a rebranded K702 right?  I understand why the K702 has a different...

    Review: Yulong A100 headphone amp

    Thanks for the info project86.  I ended up ordering it.  Can't wait.   Any suggestions for phono cable?  I don't have any decent ones at all, and I don't want the sound quality to be impaired.  May I ask what you used in your tests?

    Review: Yulong A100 headphone amp

    Just a few questions if I may.   I'm trying to quantify the quality gain with the A100 over the D100's own amp.  I know it's hard to put it into words accurately, so I want to ask if the quality gain from D100 to A100 is more noticable than the change in sound quality using the different...

    Review: Yulong A100 headphone amp

    Thanks for the quick response Project86, I think I'll be adding this to my "buy it soon" list.

    Review: Yulong A100 headphone amp

    Great review man.   You made the comment that the improvement of the A100 over the D100's own amp varied depending on which headphones you used.  For example the SR325 showed a marginal improvement but the RS1 and P1000 benefitted more.  How do you feel the K702 faired with the A100.  Was...

    Review: Yulong D100 DAC/amp - reference quality with a reasonable price

    I'm totally loving the D100 right now with the K701.  It's almost perfect.  The only thing I could wish for would be a tad extra bass maybe, but then again part of that is down to the open back design, so I can't complain much.   All this talk about amps has got me hungry for upgrading...

    Review: Yulong D100 DAC/amp - reference quality with a reasonable price

    Just a thought about input rates.  Manual suggests to use 96khz in the OS.  If I'm understanding this correctly, the source would be 44.1KHz, which would be resampled to 96KHz, before it's sent to the DAC which resamples it again.   Wouldn't it be better to just select 44.1KHz in the OS so...

    Review: Yulong D100 DAC/amp - reference quality with a reasonable price

    Thanks man.  Any other device I'd have done it without a second thought, but I was just being mega paranoid :)   Final, final question.  Is it safe to use both of the headphone outputs simultaneously, or do you risk potential damage to the D100 and/or headphones?

    Review: Yulong D100 DAC/amp - reference quality with a reasonable price

    I just got my D100 today.  Excellent.  My volume dial also made a very slight noise towards 100% (which I'd never have found under normal use because it's so loud), so I did as project86 suggested and edged it forward a little bit.  Absolutely perfect now.   As for the people saying about...

    K701 thread

    Cool thanks guys.  How did your stuff arrive, in good condition?  I bought mine through a German reseller on Amazon and to be honest it looked like they had been sat in a warehouse for over a year.  Box was very dusty and a bit torn/damaged.   I know it's just the box and whatever, but I get...

    K701 thread

    Hey guys. Does anyone know a good place online to get a pair of K701 that ships to the UK?  I can't seem to find them at any of the places I'd usually try.  I did get my first pair from Amazon through a reseller, but when they arrived the box was in poor condition and I suspected signs of...

    Thanks for the reassurance, I think I'll order the D100.

    Review: Yulong D100 DAC/amp - reference quality with a reasonable price

    Thanks, now for a question I think I know the answer to, but I'd like some confirmation.  Let's say for arguments sake that if the max the K701 can handle is 50% of the Yulong for a normal source, for the few quiet sources that would require 60%+ for example, would turning them up to that level...
