[FIIO BR13] Hi-Res Bluetooth Receiver-fiber-optic/coaxial BYPASS function,connect two transmitters,global upsampling up to 96K 24BIT,7 EQ + 2 custom PEQ,7 Bluetooth codecs including LDAC
I don't know, assume it's another integrated hub, only Ugoos can answer. I have to repeat there are no external USB hubs anywhere near RPi or Ugoos box and DAC is always connected directly to integrated USB port. Regardless of what the "Terminus technology" device is, Ugoos is a secondary...- blackie333

[FIIO BR13] Hi-Res Bluetooth Receiver-fiber-optic/coaxial BYPASS function,connect two transmitters,global upsampling up to 96K 24BIT,7 EQ + 2 custom PEQ,7 Bluetooth codecs including LDAC
Yes, I have tested the DAC later with another Linux device(Ugoos-AM6) to confirm the problem is not limited to 1 device(Rpi3) model/vendor/kernel. In both cases DAC plugged directly into the device without external HUB, to the same USB port the other USB DAC was working. Hubs listed in lsusb...- blackie333

Thank you guys, update to f/w 1.0.3 wend successfully. Tested the USB input with my linux-based streamers again but unfortunately the BR13 wasn't detected as an USB soundcard. Device also not detected by "lsusb" command. Menu controls, display and BT streaming work when connected with the Linux...- blackie333

Thank you, I'm afraid it could be related. Today I have tested again with another Linux device - CoreElec box player with the same result - DB13 not detected as audio device, see screenshot below. My other DAC models (Yulong DA8 and Topping E30) are detected when connected via USB so I'm more...- blackie333

Have upgraded firmware and tested my BR13 via Windows/USB and BT/LDAC modes. Must say I'm happy with the audio quality, it's a surprisingly good device for the money. Later I came across a problem when tried to use BR13 in USB mode with my Moode RPi streamer. The device was not detected as USB...- blackie333

Could not resist the BF offer and bought the device yesterday :) Now have to wait for 3 weeks until it arrives. Noticed that a firmware update has been released with volume fixes: https://forum.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=202311221824518791075- blackie333

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
Hello again, I want to report that the sound quality of my DA8 unit has finaly improved, yet it took very long time (nearly a year) until it finally bested my internal soundcard in SQ. It remains a mystery to me how it's possible that it needed so much time to break-in. Unfortunately it's not...- blackie333

A Motherboard with usb dac's in mind
I have Z87 chipset motherboard without USB DAC support, seems newer generations have this function. Is there some inexpensive PCI-e USB card which support usb power-off function?

How they sound when used with low volume? I use HD650 for that now, I like to listen on low volumes. Can they be used for that purpose? Thanks- blackie333

Beyerdynamic DT 150: Bloody Brilliant!
Thank you for your opinion. Yulong DA8 amp is quite capable, should be able to handle the can. Anyone able to comment about low volume listening with DT-150 (vs HD6x0)?- blackie333

Beyerdynamic DT 150: Bloody Brilliant!
Hi there, I'm looking for some musical, natural sounding, low leakage closed headphones to complement my HD650s and stumbled upon this interesting retro-looking Beyers thread. Many excited owners here made me to consider DT-150 very seriously, but I'm not yet 100% sure they are the best option...- blackie333

AKG K271 MKII or Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro?
I would also be interested into comparison of sound leakage. Choosing a closed headphone with velour pads is not an easy task, now I know it too. I may be more inclined towards K271 MKII/K272 (like weaker bass), but if the leakage is higher I may consider the DT-770 Pro, or maybe DT-660 which...- blackie333

First I'd like to thank you for your response. I would be very grateful if you could somehow manage the test at your friend's house. My concerns with K553 are headamp impedance issue (they are quite sensitive @114dB) and possible aggressive highs (saxo, trumpets) or peaks you mentioned. In...- blackie333

New release - the AKG K553 Pro - featuring a killer Massdrop deal
Project86, do you think these could be fed by Yulong DA8 amp without background noise (K553 impedance is only 32 ohm)? I need some closed-back alternative to my HD650 and considering K553 as cheap option and more expensive options like Oppo PM-3 (26 Ohm) or Alpha Dogs (50 ohm)...All are low...- blackie333

REVIEW - Yulong Audio Sabre DA8 Reference DAC
Thank you for your advice, I have tested upsampling to DSD128 and it sounded really good (and differently from PCM), for me "SDM Type C" sounded probably best (least fatigue). In between - after more burn-in (180 hours just passed) the sound of my unit became nearly perfect, the harshness of...- blackie333

Hi all, new owner of DA8 here. My unit is still in burn-in - 90 hours passed just a while ago :) Sorry for my english, not a native speaker, but I'll try my best to explain.
