Connecting Chord Mojo to iBasso DX220 (using the Chord as a DAC)
If I have read the DX220 manual correctly, I simply use the coax cable that came with it and plug it into the SPDIF output on the DX220 and into the coax input on the Chord. Plug my headphones into the chord's headphone outputs. and, voila. Is this correct? Cheers, Dave- dpastern

AK120 II vs Fiio M11
Is there any improvement to be had from the Fiio M11 (non-pro) from a SQ point of view? My AK 120 II is getting on now and obviously won't last forever (the on/off button is already "sticky" and non-responsive sometimes). The Fiio has a larger, better screen, which is a boon for an old...- dpastern

CCA C10 vs Moondrop Starfield
As the subject title suggests, what would the differences be between these 2 IEMs? I've recently dipped my feet into the IEM market with the CCA C10 purchase and very very happy with their sound. I find the bass is reasonable, reasonably tight and detailed, mids are nice, treble is not...- dpastern

Getting earbuds onto a new IEM...how the hell do you do it?
So, I'm totally new to IEMs, thought I'd see what the fuss is about and try a cheaper pair, so bought a pair of CCA C10s after much reading on the net... They've arrived, look great, but one of the earbuds has fallen off as I was taking it out of the packaging. I spent near 20 minutes of utter...- dpastern

Dead AK 120 II?
Hey guys, Just went to power up my AK 120 II for some listening and it's DEAD. As a door nail. At first I thought that perhaps the battery was flat, but it had 3/4 battery left when I last used it 4 or 5 days ago, so I was suspicious that this wasn't the answer. Plugged it into the charger...- dpastern

Astell & Kern AK 120 II problem
Hey Guys, My AK120 II is starting to muck up - it's a weird issue - some albums refuse to play and the player just continuously scrolls through the album's track list and the touch screen doesn't respond to the play/pause track back/forward buttons at all. The rest of the touch screen does...- dpastern

Exceptionally slow performance composing PMs
Whenever I try and reply to a PM etc, my system just grinds to a halt. By that, I mean high CPU usage. General browsing of the forums and composing thread replies doesn't seem to experience this issue, or at least, to the same degree as with PMs. This problem has been present for at...- dpastern
