    HiBy R5 Gen 2 - Class A headamp, Dual ES9219C, 35h playtime, MQA 16x, open Android

    Hi Joe/All Has this been sorted out for the native Tidal App? I’ve an R5 gen2 on the way and my primary use would be for Tidal. The majority of the time I’d offline (Download) the files I want to play so I don’t think I could use the Hiby App for this?

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Just taken delivery of a pair. Purchased from a French supplier (Son-Video) and noticed when I google translated my note of thanks to them, the description of my initial impression came out as "delicious". Well I think I'll just leave it there.

    Loxjie P20 Discussion- Starved for information on this thing!

    I've no direct experience with the iFi, your headphones or source material so couldn't begin to guess but common sense would say try about 2/3rds gain on the Hip DAC and see what sort of level you need to set the P20 at for comfortable listening. If its Very low then back off the Hip DAC and if...

    Loxjie P20 Discussion- Starved for information on this thing!

    Hi Death Block What I think your asking is are there any suitable audio cables? The USB connections you mention are just for the Hip DAC. As its iFi then there is a balanced output on a 4.4mm 'Pentacon' connector and you can use that to feed the XLR inputs of the Loxjie. These are always going...

    DT 990pros (£108) vs HD 560s (£140)

    I'm casting a vote for the 990's which I know, but have no experience with the Sennheisers. Basing this on value and the fact that the detail & soundstage you'll experience will be great for gaming. EQ can help neutralise the Beyers peaks but without knowing what music you'll be enjoying I can't...

    Bugger! You’ve got me at it now. I only ordered the P20 for fun and now I’m ordering Russian hand me downs. I’m worried where this will end.

    Rupert Neve Designs Announces The RNHP: Precision Headphone Amplifier

    Hi - Thanks for the comprehensive response. As luck would have it I'm now committed to the RME so thats the first to arrive, it'll be a month or two before I get the RNHP. It's good to hear the amp in the RME will keep me happy in the meantime. I have other ancillary sources that will also feed...

    Loxjie P20 Discussion- Starved for information on this thing!

    I'm waiting for delivery of my P20 so not speaking from experience in that regard but I've had an ifi x Power supply and can testify it can make a tangible difference with noise sensitive equipment (I tried this on an iFi signature DAC comparing it with a standard wall wart). However most...

    Considering the p20 as a "fun" second amp, running against a very neutral solid state amp. Headphones currently mid level loads (DT990 250Ohm, HD660S). At its selling price it's hard to go wrong and I'm curious about the various tube options - but I don't want to disappear down a rabbit hole...

    Rupert Neve Designs Announces The RNHP: Precision Headphone Amplifier

    Hi UtaA Sorry to slightly hijack this thread - I do have a RNHP on the way so it's related - a question on the transition to the RME. I've got a Chord Mojo at present and will probably run the Rupert Neve from that for a while but planning to upgrade to a true deskmounted DAC before the money...

    Amp pairing for HD58xx

    Hi I've just got a pair of HD660's (similar performance and load) and ordered the iFi Zen Can Signature as it's 'Tuned' for the Sennheisers. This is way over you're budget but the standard non "signature" version would be a close relation. Loads of drive and very clear. Even cheaper and an...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    You're speaking to a man who's used to bar food ;) Thanks for the track listing - that is genuinely useful.
