CanJam NYC 2023 Impressions Thread (February 25-26, 2023)
some quick observations before dinner: 1. EAR micro blew me away with their T10, which are wireless and have the DAC and DSP in the tiny earpieces. The soundstage was fantastic on everything I heard. Their focus, besides sound, is the luxury market with custom charger units that have to be...- cat6man

absolutely. in my car system, i use the amp12 LO into a Jensen PO-2XR which takes balanced in (XLR) and provides unbalanced out (RCA). i have it wired up in the car now, though i have not yet installed/hidden the extra hardware required to convert the balanced LO (see photo). the balanced out...- cat6man

I had a very similar experience here. With my JH13 iems, with balanced silver dragon wire, I was able to compare the single ended versus balanced phone outputs for amp11, with the balanced clearly superior. Last night I installed my amp12 and the balanced phone output took a huge jump in...- cat6man

one more question before i order something :) the jensen pi-2xr goes balanced to unbalanced with, i believe, no signal level change the jensen pc-2xr goes balanced to unblanced with, i believe, conversion from +4dBm to -10dBm which would be a better match for the amp12 going to the aux line in...- cat6man

I just took my dx300 out to the car on a pizza run. With single ended line out, it was amazing, with non of the "not yet broken in" harshness I heard with amp11/PO and JH13 iems. A real no-brainer, soundstage, solidity, bass, detail all vastly superior to LO with my x7mk2 (which will now go on...- cat6man

cool! Jensen PI-2XR seems to be what i need. then I add a TRRRS ==> 2x XLR cable from the iBasso to the Jensen, and then RCA into my car aux input then i only need the amp12W and don't have to swap out between car and train/plane use. is there a link to someone who does the 12W mod?- cat6man

I just received my dx311 and couldnt wait to listen and compare it to my x7mk2. Initial thoughts: It needs time to break in. I hear some harshness in the high end but the low end, detail and soundstage are all improved relative to the fiio, both with balanced and single ended output3 to JH13...- cat6man

Nice review, thanks. My only suggestion would be, if possible, to swap the DACs and see if that was responsible for the soundstage difference.- cat6man

DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******
Thanks. Since I need unbalanced out for my car system, it seems I have a choice of amp1 or amp1, so the answer is either amp1 or a pair of amps for different uses. Since they are swappable, I can get a good balanced amp for my JH13 iems. Anyone have recommendations for an amp that is a good...- cat6man

DX240 DAP. DAC ES9038PRO - NEW: AMP8MK2S .****** NEW Firmware! 2.01 *******
A question regarding the amplifier options for someone new to ibasso. My first priority is sound quality of line out for use in my car system, 2nd priority is sq with my iems. So 1. Do all the amps provide line out and headphone outputs? 2. Does the line out sq vary much across the amp units...- cat6man
