Super +++!! Great guy to deal with, answered all my questions in detail, and provided plenty of additional pictures to show the condition of the Kr5's. Super-smooth transaction. A true asset to Head-Fi! Thank you, sir!!

I'm ready to take the plunge into TOTL IEMs, and the Fir Audio Kr5 is the first on my list to try. Would like one complete with box and accessories (if possible), and in the USA. Price is negotiable. Thank you!

Excellent seller!! DAP and accessories were minty, literally "as new'. Seller quick to respond to messages, and quick to ship. A real asset to Head-Fi! Thank you!!

Thanks for the clarification! I'd be using it to drive my AH-D9200, which should mitigate the (very slightly) less than stellar amp section. Let me mull this over for a bit. Thanks again!

Interested in one of these, but can you explain why your listing includes the exact same pics as the one listed by Thorbee only 6 days prior? Did you purchase his, have it shipped, auditioned and chose to turn it in that short period of time?

W00T!!1!1! Just got my notification of shipment. Dec. 24th delivery, but alas... I won't be at my shop, where it's going to be delivered. :(

??? I think there's some confusion here: either on my part, your part, or both... There isn't any "balanced output that isn't a....4-conductor". Balanced means separate and isolated ground leads for each channel, necessitating 4 conductors. The adapter you linked to is not for a "balanced...

You are absolutely correct.

I don't know of any manufacturer that makes an adapter to go from balanced on the DAP end to single-ended on the headphone side. That is prohibited by most (if not all) amp manufacturers, and would void any warranty in the event the amp is damaged.

That adapter doesn't break the cardinal rule of converting single-ended to balanced. Here's the lowdown: DAP/Single Ended output (TRS connector) > Adapter > Balanced Headphone Cable = OK. DAP/Balanced output (TRRS connector) > Anything other than balanced (i.e. Single-ended TRS)...

I've been lurking in the DX220 thread more than posting, and I've been out of the loop for much of the last week. But, this is awesome... Count me in for one!! Payment Sent.

Update and clarification: I received a Thunderbolt cable today (Apple branded) and am at present using Mango DAC mode (in Android) and the battery indicator shows charging. Haven't tried pure Mango mode yet, but it appears that it will charge while in DAC mode in Android. It just needed more...

Not helpful. See below quote as an example of a helpful post. I think I've found a possible solution. My P51 has a Thunderbolt 3 port which (according to specs) should be good for 3A output. I've just got to find a suitable cable.

All USB ports on a P51 are 3.0, and I have it plugged into the "always on" port.

And yet, there are plenty of devices out there (like my aforementioned X5II) that will charge while being used as a USB DAC. I thought one of the advantages of pure Mango mode was less power consumption due to Android processes being suspended?

I do have a major complaint about the DX220: When using it in DAC mode (attached to my laptop, a Lenovo P51), it doesn't charge the battery as I'm using it, or it is consuming battery power faster than it's charging. You would think that having it plugged in via USB would at least maintain the...

That may be the difference, right there: I'm running mine balanced. I re-cabled my D5000, and the D7200 is easy with the detachable cable. Honestly, I almost parted with the D7200 after I listened to it with the stock cable. I took a chance on a mid-priced cable found on eBay, and was...

Which Denon are you using? I use a D7200 with my DX220 and love it. I find myself boosting the high frequencies a bit with the EQ, leaving the lower end flat, so I wouldn't say that it's "bright" by any means. I briefly used my modded D5000 with it, but did find it harsh and sibilant in the...

Thanks for the recommendations! If I were willing to push the purchase price a bit, is there something lurking just above my $1k limit that would be a stand-out, "next-level" IEM? I'm also curious to know if a hybrid w/dynamic driver IEM might be more to my liking.

Hi all, I typically don't wear earbuds or IEM's, and my only experience so far was a failed try with a JH16Pro FreqPhase. I couldn't get a good fit/seal, and I didn't like the (what I thought was) bass-heavy signature. I prefer a more analytical sound, with more forward mids and good...

With that setup he probably hosts pronhub! :astonished: And I thought I was heading into overkill territory with my 50TB+ enterprise media server...

I think all this concern about how hot the device gets is overblown. The fact that it's getting hot to the touch is proof that the design is working as it should. It's wicking heat away from the components that require cooling. The housing itself is doing a fine job of acting as a heatsink...

After updating to 1.11.140 all seems to be well. I can switch back and forth between DAC and DAP modes, and the mono issue has not reappeared. A BIG thanks to you and your engineers for being so quick to address issues! :thumbsup: Now, if you can get DAC mode to be recognized by a PC without...

Thanks! I already managed to get the drivers for the DX200 installed and working.
