So Moondrop sells the top headphone equipped with earpads that make Cosmo sound very badly and the buyer has to work hard to find aftermarket pads in order to achieve better results. One would assume that these tests should have been done by Moondrop.

You can find something here:

Volume knob functionality: disabled when the rca output is connected to an anplifier (Ifi Signature only as a dac) but at the same time enabled to amplify a headphone, is it correct?

Just tried: no problems reported by my antivirus, the website seems ok.

The cable indeed would be too short for my desktop set up. Any suggestion for a good quality extension cable?

Looking forward your impressions (possibly with comparisons)

Agree about the X3 sound.

Interesting and informative review, as usual. I really appreciate the X3, for the same reasons you described. Could you do a comparison between Fidelio and FT5 (upgrade or sidegrade, in your opinion)? I would also like to know if changing the earcups is complicated or easy.

Dekoni pads, right?

Whar about ft and comfort? Do you think that the earpads are small ?

What do you think about the sound quality?

Why on earth the Signature does not offer the line direct option (differently from the first micro idsd and black label) ?

You were right, thanks. I didn't realize that Ifi micro idsd has a combo input (coaxial / optical.

Edit: it's the Micro Idsd dac not Neo

Thank you, but the Neo dac has a coaxial input. I rather think of an adapter kind of toslink female to coaxial male.

I need to connect the wiim mini to the coaxial input of the Ifi audio idsd dac, obviously using the supplied optical cable. Which adapter should i buy? A link would be very helpful

It seems that the optical input of Neo Idsd has the maximum resolution limited at 24/96. By connecting the streamer Wiim mini the 24/192 resolution is not supported. Does it turn out to be so?

Here is the wiring scheme provided by Philips

I'm interested in comparison between Tres and Hyland Jupiter, please

I'm sorry, actually I bought DT100 pads from Thomann (together with other material, so that the shipping costs had a lower impact.

DT100 velour earpads fit properly and impact stock sound very positively.
