    Ibasso DX80

    Anyone knows if the battery is user replaceable like dx100?

    SONY NW-ZX2

    Thanks! This confirms my fears. I think Apple proposes a replacement out of warranty even if it is more expansive than third party solutions. Too bad all the daps on the market now (even last ibassos) have a non user-replaceable battery. I would feel more secure if there were at least apparent...

    SONY NW-ZX2

    Sorry maybe my question was not clear. Sure they won't replace the battery for free. But is there a procedure like for iPods for example to get the battery replaced once the warranty is over by paying a lump sum fee (eg 100 eur). I don't want to pay this kind of money on a dap whose lifespan is...

    SONY NW-ZX2

    Hi,   I'm looking for a DAP for my SE846. I like the ZX2.   - What do you guys think of the SE846/ZX2 combo? How is the hiss with these iem?   - Given the low impedance of the Shures, would the EU version (with volume cap) still be a problem?   - Any experience from Sony Walkman...

    On my unit 2 out of the 3 balls seem to be rubbing when they rolls. As a result, the balls gets more and more scratched. Some scratches are very light while the other are a bit deeper as you can see  on the picture below. A bit annoying... Is it the same on yours?

    I charged my mojo with my iphone charger (1 A)  this night, the charge time has been around 5.5 hours. With my xperia Z3 charger (1,5 A), the first charge was done in around 3.5 hours. I also noticed that the mojo got noticeably cooler during the charge with the 1A charger.   Someone else...

    On the Chord mojo manual, it is specified that the requirement is at least 1A http://www.chordelectronics.co.uk/mojo/manual/Mojo-User-Manual.pdf. I charged mine with a 1,5A 5V wall charger and it took around 3-3,5 hours for the charge light to switch off.   Could someone please post a close up...

    I also use Vox but it didn't show the correct sampling rate on the mojo. Reading your message, I assume there is an option in the preference to bypass core audio. I will check tonight. Thanks!

    2 questions guys:   - When my macbook pro (Yosemite) is connected to the mojo via USB, the sampling rate color is always768 Khz (which corresponds to the sampling rate fixed in the OS X audio/midi setup utility), whatever track is playing. Is there a way to get the color corresponding to the...

    I received my mojo today, here is my feedback:   I purchased a pair of Shure SE846 2 weeks ago. It was my first pair of high end iem (my other gear is Westone UM1, Q701 and SR325i).   Until now I was using the Shure on my Macbook pro retina 13 and on my Iphone 5s. After the first wow...

    According to Mojo's manual http://www.chordelectronics.co.uk/mojo/manual/Mojo-User-Manual.pdf, the light is on during the recharge and turns off after full charge (approx 4 hours). Mine is currently charging with a 1,5 A charger (Xperia Z3 charger) and the light is on (not blinking).

      I ordered a mojo yesterday at around 1pm on custom cable (7 mojo were in stock on the website). Since it is still not shipped yet I asked when the shipping was scheduled. I just received an email from one of your colleagues telling that given the high demand I will have to wait for the next...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I red the mbp has a output impedance of 24 ohm which is quite high at least for se846.   http://www.faqoverflow.com/apple/57186.html

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Coming from a pair of Westone UM1 (which was quite nice imho) I just bought the SE846 and the difference is huge. To me, the main differences are in bass extension and resolution. I really love them.    I listen the SE846 on different sources:   - Iphone 5s: OK but the sound could be better...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    According to the spec, the connector is a LEMO connector. LEMO is a connector manufacturer which means the plug is at least not a proprietary design by Shure. Adapters to standard jack are probably already available.

    EU Power Supply for Schiit Magni ?

    Yes, i have bought this specific adapter. It is quite expansive but pretty reliable. It works fine with magni. I tried to find a 240v to 16V AC adapter but they are very rare...I have been unable to find an easy way to get one in EU.   This solution appears to be the best. That's what Jason...

    I just read some thread about old Apple TV and DAC and people says the SQ gain is quite awesome.... Actually I plane to do this: Connect Apple TV with HDMI to my HDTV, then connect a Dac to the TV optical output and, finally, connect the Dac to my Amp. So the Dac should enhance both itunes...

    iPod Event 9/1/10 Confirmed

    What about using Apple TV as a music streamer with connecting it to an external DAC. As it has a digital output, it seems it would be more worth it than other devices like Squeezebox? Ok iTunes isn't very open as a music player, (no flac...), the the Apple TV woulds probably use IOS4 or...
