HiBy W3 II: CS43131 Bluetooth Dongle DAC
Just received the Hiby W3 II today, pretty amazing for the price. I wanted something hyper-portable, so it was between the W3 II (£49) and the BTR15 (£115). Less than half the price of the BTR15, half the weight, integrated clip, CS43131. Power is enough for my IEMs (QKZxHBB Khan) and...- ubertriad

[FIIO K11]Truly Balanced, Truly Brilliant! Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier
Try plugging into a different computer to test. Try UAC 1.0 just to see if it's a compatibility problem. If it still has problems, then it's faulty, send it back for replacement.- ubertriad

Go back to the K11. Spending 5-10x on more expensive amps isn't necessarily going to bring the joy back.- ubertriad

[FIIO K11]Truly Balanced, Truly Brilliant! Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier
OK, I think I have narrowed down the problem. If there is sound already playing (youtube, music, games, etc) when I turn it on, then it will not get past the USB IN screen and will be completely unresponsive. I have repeated the test several times, and it happens 100% of the time so far...- ubertriad

It just happened again, twice now in a week. I'm going to try a different USB C cable and will report back if it happens again. If it continues to bug out with a different cable, I'll have to return it :slight_frown: EDIT: FYI, I'm plugging straight into my desktop motherboard, no adapters.- ubertriad

I also had this problem today, except unplugging and pluggin back in didn't fix it. I had to unplug both the power and the usb cable, then turn it back on, then plug the USB in again. Are you using the the USB cable that came with the K11?- ubertriad

The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")
Great recommendation! I bought them based on your post (and the first youtube review I could find), also they are very cheap. I have had the Ultrasone Signature Pure for a few days. Very good build quality, the face plate on the earcups feels and looks very premium. My head is not so big and...- ubertriad

[FIIO K11]Truly Balanced, Truly Brilliant! Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier
Well, so far here are some of my thoughts: The unit has a good weight to it, I thought it might be too light on the desk, but it stays put. The rubber base helps a lot to keep it stable. The power cable is a little short. The first section from the plug to the transformer is 18 inches, the...- ubertriad

I just blasted the full 200+mw of the KA11 into my 10ohm IEMs :slight_frown: Luckily I wasn't wearing them at the time, but I hope they are not damaged. My fault really, I plugged them into a new device for the first time and forgot to adjust the volume beforehand. Just a tip so you don't forget 👍- ubertriad

FiiOxJadeAudio KA1/KA11 Compact Portable DAC and Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
Well I have both and I'm impressed, the KA11 actually sounds quite a bit better than the DC03pro. Considering the KA11 is less than half the price and I only bought the DC03Pro a year ago, what an improvement a year makes! Lighter/smaller/cheaper/more power, the KA11 is pretty good. No hardware...- ubertriad

The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")
The HE-R9 has similar amount of subbass but slightly more mid and upper bass. The momentum 3 has a better sound signature overall (with ANC on), but being primarily a bluetooth headphone makes it very limited. I also dont like the fact that the battery is required for good sound and will...- ubertriad

The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")
Received the Hifiman HE-R9 today, just a few hours in. Running out of my DC03pro or Fiio e07k, all I can say is wow, head-shaking bass, no treble spike, no complaints. I find it hard to describe audio (it's either good or bad, bass or no bass), so if you've haven't found the right headphone yet...- ubertriad

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless - The Official Thread
I've had mine about 7 months and the momentum 3 wireless is the very first headphone I've heard that has natural bass out of the box with no tuning. I have owned/listened to a lot of headphones and nothing comes close, at all. Amps and EQ is OK, but it's hard to get it just right, out of the box...- ubertriad
