x2. I felt I experienced something similar with my JH13 v.1. Since then I get by without IEMatch and everything sounds great to me.

I have owned both the Go Bar and the Gold Bar (which is my current daily use dongle). I find the ifi user interface pretty straight forward and I've never felt the need for an additional display. The biggest problem with the original Go Bar was the hard to read lettering on the back, but...

woahwoewoah was great to work with, fast payment and great ongoing communications!

For sale is "vintage" Head-fi swag. The shirt is in good condition and size XL...it's old school Head-fi fun...what more can I say! I will provide the first $5.00 of shipping, which should cover the continental U.S. via standard post. If anybody wants it faster or requires international...

Being a Go Bar fan, I watch this product with interest and have two questions: 1. I get the impression this is an ongoing SKU and not a limited-edition release like the Gold Bar? 2. I look forward to impressions comparing the Kensei and Gold Bar!

I also prefer the Gold Bar and appreciate its warmer/fuller presentation (especially with my IEMs). The regular version is also great and not that far away in comparison.

Agreed on your impression of the Go Bar tone. Baskingshark, I do find the Gold version of the Go Bar to be a warmer presentation then the regular version, but I have not yet experienced any veiled/muddy sound with warm buds such as the FF3. I've found the Go Bar will acceptably drive the HD6XX...

I wonder how an iFi Go Bar would do on the Yinman's with supposedly 475mW into 32 ohms and 7.5V into 600 ohms. Anybody out there tried this?

I've always chuckled when this happens (with any type of headphone) especially after the person argues that their Beats, Bose or Air Pod headphones are the musical enjoyment endgame. Recently a friend of mine (who is an IEM fan, but not nuts enough to be on Head-fi) was sharing strong...

Some great suggestions but I will add that earbuds have really advanced since the PK-1 and it is hard to recommend them now as compared to newer options. I have a set of PK-1's that just sit around as the FiiO FF3 have, IMO, made them seem obsolete.

Trashkpi was easy to communicate with and the transaction went smoothly. A great example of a fellow Head-fier who makes our classifieds a better place than eBay or elsewhere.

Using the iFi firmware update tool will report which firmware is installed. I have had no problems (yet) installing the newest firmware even when skipping multiple prior versions.

IMO either Go Bar handles some movement well, and using a cable that fits more snugly than the stock cable will help with this. With that said, I wouldn't want to run with it flopping around...as tragedy will eventually occur.

Include me here. I really want to try the Yinman 600 and from all the impressions I've seen it seems I would enjoy them. Unfortunately I am using an iFi Gold Bar from my phone and I don't believe it will do the Yinman justice. I do have a FiiO K7 that should do a nice job with those, but if I...

I've had good luck with both the DDHIFI TC09S and the FiiO LT-TC1 (both insert much more firmly than the stock ifi cable)..
