I don't know, I barely use them. Good for the price I guess?

Hi Todd, I received my headphones today. I think they are great. Everything is just as I expected. Thank you again. Chang

Hi Todd, I don’t mind the wait, as long as he’s shipping the stuff to me. I have been waiting for 7 or 8 months already, so not a problem for me. If it’s not your help, I don’t think I can get my headphones. Thanks again for the huge favor! Chang

Thank you Todd!

I ordered from the Verum Audio Website. Payed via WayForPay. I think the headphone was not in stock on your website when I decided to buy them, that’s why I ordered from the Verum Audio website. That’s my guess, I don’t remember the reason clearly. It’s definitely not your responsibility, but...

Hi, I placed an order last year in July, I haven’t received the headphones yet after 9 months. Is that usual? When I contacted the owner, one email he said he has shipped my headphones out, next one he said he hasn’t shipped them yet, which is very confusing for me. Now both my home address...

Yes, why don’t look it up yourself

Singxer advertises with the term full isolation( ground isolation), maybe it means galvanic isolation.

Could be, maybe consider getting the su-2, I use Titans audio Helen with it, no problem at all.

Should be, I personally haven't heard any issue being reported yet. If I don't have su-2, I probably would give it a try. The old x26 had the same ESS USB interface chip, it's replaced too. XMOS is pretty stable.

The problem is with the ESS interface chip, U16 is garbage that cannot be fixed , because you can’t change the ESS chip. They released U18 to replace U16, using a XMOS interface chip. That’s their ‘fix’ to U16. Sad for the U16 user, but there’s nothing they can do about U16.

The shipping cost was $120+ last time I checked. If you live close to north jersey then you could do a local pick up to save the shipping cost. My price is reasonable and firm, so I cannot cover it with $900.

Selling my 2017 version Audio-GD master 9. I'm the original owner. I asked Kingwa to customize this amp to have two 4-pin XLR output jacks and two 6.35mm output jacks. Because 3 pin XLR output is so rarely used and an extra 4-pin XLR output and a 6.35 mm output will be much more useful while...

Great buyer, great communication and smooth transition. One of the best experiences.

Did you buy it new? Return it and get Singxer su-2. I owned U16 for a year and had terrible experience with it. It doesn’t have a single firmware that is bug free. The designer said U16’s Linux support is poor, but the windows support not well neither. Look for my history post in this thread for...

Selling my Matrix XSP MQA. First hand barely used in like new condition. I upgraded my DAC from Qutest to this, The XSP is the best overall DAC I have ever owned. It’s sound quality is as good as it’s elegant design and build quality. XSP’s sound is neutral, clear, transparent yet smooth. The...

Don’t bother finding the 1.72REL firmware. It has more problems. Just get the su-2 if you need a USB bridge. Some guy at ASR has already measured it, it’s better than the u16. There is no need to do a listening test between the two in my case, because the u16 is simply not usable.

Oh, u16 is fine for your application then. Just confirmed with Gustard, there upcoming X26 pro(an update version of X26) will use XMOS instead of ESS chip used by the X26. So my assumption is true, they did stop using ESS solution.

I experience problems when playing high sample rate audio streams through it in my system. I have a reclocker called Titans Audio Helen, it’s basically a high performance external phase lock loop device. In high precision mode it requires high precision input data. When I connect u16 to it...

The problem of U16 will be exposed if you play high sample rate music files, like 192KHz, it will cause some DAC not be able to lock to the signal. Under Windows it has this problem too. I had my hands on three of these U16s, tested on at NT503, Qutest and Titans Audio Helen. If you try to play...

At least don’t get the u16, it has poor support under Linux based OS due to the buggy ES8620 chip firmware. Get the singxer su-2 instead, guaranteed much better. Actually not recommend u16 even for windows, too many unsolvable bugs. something like the su-2 provide you with the option to use a...
