Cheers, can you help with this? I've got a balanced 2.5mm Forza cable specifically for this player (Pioneer version tbh) but am wondering about whether I can still use the same cable with adapter for other 3.5mm sources, would any 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male adapter do the job or would it need...

hiya, can someone quickly confirm the pole configuration for the 2.5mm balanced socket, cheers, Lee

I also took it that my cable was in stock from the online form, so it definitely is a little misleading, but I would still have ordered anyway.

have you tried it, thats a 5" screen!

Anyone found a decent screen protector yet, can't find one anywhere in UK?

Hi all, just got this reply from Onkyo regarding dual dac use Hello, the dual amplifiers and DNC's are used when using either output jack. We can't confirm that they are used when using a third party APP beacuse we have not tested those APP's. At this time we are stating no. Thank you,

Been reading backwards and forwards on this and the onkyo thread, and struggling to find confirmation... is it definitive that dual dac only used for balanced output?

Well i'm sure someone would be willing to swap their x3 for yours and put you out of your misery.

?

Hi Guys, looking for any recommended balanced Oppo PM3 proposal and sound impressions, claire hpc mk2 keeps popping up but not hearing much about any sound improvements with the Oppos, just need you guys to justify it for me 

hiya, has anyone located or just using a back skin or protector at all, im just not a case fan?

has anyone located or just using a back skin or protector at all, not a case fan tbh?

howdy,I'm looking at the same set up with my pm-3's, interested in your balanced vs se comparison with these phones.

Anyone using this balanced at all, interested in hearing how it compares to HO?

Nice :smirk:

okey dokey, so its all on the headphones and eq then! thanks again, thats cleared that up for me.

hiya, i would love to hear any comparisons between this and ath-msr7 regarding resolution, soundstage and isolation if anyone has had both. Potentially looking to move on to these from the MSR's.

and thanks again for all your inputs!

ha ha, i just got that straight off the features page on the website. customcan in the uk provide balanced cables wired to suit that configuration, no problem if i go that route. i guess im looking at trying to eq my ath-msr7 or try oppo pm3. quite like the Android streaming options like tidal...

Hiya, its the Pioneer XDP-300R, states 'linear-phase FIR equalizer'?

Hiya and thank you all. Been reading up and I'm assuming all the above parametric eq us for listening off a pc, which I'll have a tinker with now, but what about from a DAP source? The reason is my new DAP offers me the original options given, 24 bit, Mqa, balanced and eq.... Which way to go...

cheers, first time ive ever heard of a crossfeed plug in, ill get googling. ive always shied away from eq, the pessimist in me always tells me im distorting and going against the sound the headphones and dac designers want to produce... any advice on diving in to eq greatly appreciated, Lee

Looking to get more bang for my buck from existing headphones that I use when out and about 1) Move to higher bit rate music & Mqa,currently 16bit flat 2) existing music but move to a balanced setup Is either going to be more noticeable than the other? Cheers Lee

has anyone tried modifying these to being balanced at all, i love them for on the go and my new dap can do balanced so just wondering?

I've gone for it using tenso.com as delivery address who then ship to your UK address, worked out at £245 with 5,000 yen coupon, so with 20%import and assuming £50 shipping should come out about £350, still a massive saving. Fingers crossed it goes to plan!
