    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    The right side is now significantly louder than the left side. Sounds like they have been damaged. Did you drop them or bounce them off a table. It sounds like one BA went bad. This is the reason I will never buy an expensive multi-BA IEM, too fragile.

    Upcoming DAP from xDuoo - the X10!

    The software version is 1.12. As I remember, in 5 days I think there were a couple songs that may have had gapless issues. It's not a big deal. My vinyl rips plays backs back the clicks and pops gapless.

    Upcoming DAP from xDuoo - the X10!

    Got my x10 last friday. Most software issues are fixed. Pause resume where it left off. No pausing or 1 sec cut between songs. The micro CF is amazing. Sounds great with KZ ZS5's. The only issue is that is doesn't play when charging and there was no case in the $118.00 package.

    iBasso D10 Modifications

    Do the left and right opamps need to be single channel, or can I use some two channel opamps I already have? For the buffer, can it be a single channel? On the same note, for dual opamps, should I use a single channel opamp (mounted as IC1) with a buffer (mounted as IC2)? Would using two...

    Yep. No hard drive. No LCD. I bet my vibrating little buddy can take a lot.

    What happens if you wet your headphones?

    Bake, on low heat, for 30 minutes, turn and bake for an additional 30 minutes. As a alternative, you can try the cloths dryer, normal heat.

    what bag/case do you use for your portable rig

    Best buy has a wide selection of compact camera cases. If you can't find one you like there, you won't find one anywhere.

    Bag for iBasso D10 Cobra & Cowon D2

    You probably want a compact camera bag. Either lowepro or canon. I've got a canon bag from Best Buy and it fits any two of the D10/Ipod/iRiver/Zune combination perfectly. It also has an inside and outside pockets for cables and phones. The volume knob just fits into the case and you can leave...

    HF-2 errors making anyone shy away?

    No. I just want SQ comparisons to their other cans, so that I can decide.

    The Audio-gd Compass (Was: Designing an alternative to the Zero DAC/amp)

    I'm no audiofool/phile, but: The Earth HDAM distortion measurement are obviously erroneous. Audio-dg measures 0.0005% THD @ 1KHZ. Weiss Engr. measure 0.1% to 1.0% THD @ 1KHZ. Weiss Engr is measuring THD in excess of 10% at high frequencies. Even a fool like me would be able to hear...

    Opamp rolling with the compass? Sounds cool. I'll give it a try. The opamps are cheap and maybe someone here can create a opamp rolling kit, similar to the D10's kit.

    Can u drive the senns 650 with a portable amp?

    I've listened to my HD600's a grand total of once with my D10. That was to reply to a D10/Compass comparison with HD600's, on a different thread. It only took a couple minutes to determine that the stock D10 cannot properly drive these cans. Besides sounding better, the comparable volumes are...

    FYI: Just noticed that my silk screen is not complete. The right edge is cut off. There looks to be about 7 letters missing. I'd bet this is unique and everyone else got a dull, complete silk screen.
