Which headphones?

Hifiman R10D that much better than HE1000v2?

Do you know how to change the gain and other settings? I can't seem to figure out.

Hi can anyone tell how to update the firmware for the W4. Also if there is an official user manual for this. I did not find it on official website. It is mot even listed as product there.

If you are gonna blame me for not reading technical details then how do you explain that dethonray says it puts out 2.9V in single ended and G8 put out 2V and it yet is it underpowered compared to G8?

Yes I rarely complain about products I mean very rarely. I understand that companies put a lot of work and expertise to make them. But what true is true. This device is unexpectedly underpowered compared to every other device in the same range.

That's not how it works. Each device should be judged on its own. I happen to have other products does not mean that weakness of SG1 is justified. Many others might not have multiple devices. And some headphones do not have balanced option like DT 770 Pro and some other IEMs. You cannot make a...

I already admitted in the previous comment that I do not expect this portable amplifier to drive planar magnetics or 600 Ohm desktop headphones. I have an Edition XS which I have not even tried to run on this device because I know it is not fair to judge it with planar magnetics. Which part of...

You mean it is too much to ask for $300 dedicated amplifier to drive an 80 Ohm headphone which can be perfectly driven by a 6 year old discontinued smartphone which only has single ended output.

That is because it cannot drive some of the headphones I have. If it cannot drive them no matter how good it sounds it is redundant. I would not have bothered if it was at least driving 80 Ohms DT770 Pro properly. I know you cannot expect it to drive planar magnetic or other 600 Ohms but even a...

Hi can you tell me which rhapsody firmware version sounds the best?

Honestly $300 dedicated amplifier which has size of compact smartphone should be able to output more power than a phone or $50 dongle dac. Moondrop DAWN pro has 50 percent more than SG1 and I got it for less than $50.

I downloaded v2.0 from their website and followed video instructions but it times out while updating the firmware. It keeps saying time out connection failed.

How to check current firmware version of SG1?

I tried but it will not update. I will give it a try again. But it is definitely underpowered even compared to LG phones and even some cheap dongle DACs. I am not sure if Anson has used any dedicated OP AMPS in this this or not.
