Introducing Shanling M30 - Modular Desktop Hi-Fi Streaming Player
Hah. I have an Argos on order too - secondary machine for a second location. I wouldn’t expect it before march, but I’d guess there’s no Z1 or MC5 before then either.- xand

Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube
Very interested in how the N8ii drives the Utopia directly (and if you put a C9 in the chain, and compare with a C9 that would also be awesome - if only to see if the N8ii might negate the requirement for a C9).- xand

You should use High gain with a DX312. The AMP 12 LO specification is a max 4.1v: via: https://ibasso.com/product/amp12/- xand

Any thoughts on Apple Music vs. Tidal (on a DX300)? As far as I can tell they both work (native app)...- xand

I used to think this. No EQ can still be great in a headphone setup, but it's going to be worse for most people without dedicated speaker rooms in a speaker setup, and you definitely need EQ in a car.- xand

FYI, the KEF LSX not only has an amplifier (i.e. are active speakers), but also forces all analog input through a ADC, then back through it's own DAC. Any analog audio input will be converted to digital then back again. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1571428/Kef-Lsx.html?page=33#manual- xand

Assuming amp12 has a connection to ground, it's possible to construct a proper 4.4mm to RCA cable. I'm not sure who a reliable vendor is though.- xand

I prefer solid state for DX300 AMP12 into Utopia, but tube is still better for EE Zeus. I preferred tube/A for DX300 AMP11mk1 (both outputs). No big difference between A/AB for AMP12. I wonder why the difference...- xand

You mean the case which ships with the dx300, or the case which ships with amp12, or both? I should say I have no issue with the case - but I think they're both made of bonded leather which has been stamped for texture. This is consistent with what I would have expected given the price...- xand

Soooo. My dealer took my amp module in for repair, and offered me a loaner amp module... But they also had fresh AMP12 stock in! Sooooooooo. I bought an AMP12. LOL. Demo at the dealer (apparently one night of burn in) suggested that there was more detail. I'm listening back at home now (new...- xand

Hmm, I'm having an issue with my Amp11mk1 (shipped with my DX300). It seems fine when listening to PO, but if I switch to LO there's crackling. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I can do to try to fix it apart from restarting (doesn't work)? This persists over different cables, and...- xand
