Bump

Price drop.

For sale: iBasso DC05 portable DAC in black. Used for a few hours so selling as like new - no marks scratches etc. and comes with all original packaging. Happy to ship elsewhere but buyer pays shipping.

Hi Graham! Welcome, it does seem participation in this forum and raiding piggy-banks go hand in hand...

No way! Nice work. I used to use them in a jean pocket when commuting and they would split at the jack termination every time, think they would have been fine with an L-plug. I still have them in a draw wondering if I could ever custom cable them, haha!

I think a lot of problems would go away with Flare taking more care over cables. I had the initial R2As from the first Kickstarter, loved them but I had to purchase 4 replacement cables when they were offering them as after less than a year of use the cables died. They stopped selling the...

Thank you I'll check out my options with Amazon in UK.

Oooh don't tempt me I'm already wayyy over budget!

I've tried the iBasso DC05 and Lotoo PAW S2. Paired with CA Andromeda 2020s the DC05 sounded great but had a fair amount of background hiss which I couldn't stand after a bit of listening. Hence the change to the PAW S2 which has no hiss and I think sounds better overall. Might be useful for...

Anyone know where/how to source JVC Spiral Dots ++ in the UK? I've got some of the older variant from PenonAudio and love them, would be interested to see what the differences with new ++ are.

I've had the Lotoo PAW S2 for a few months and absolutely love it. The only other dongle dac I've used is the iBasso DC05 which was good but caused too much hiss when paired with CA Andro 2020s. I do think the S2 sounds a fair bit better but it's also 3-4x the price. Also, absolutely silent with...

I had these for a few months but ended up returning them under the 100 day money back guarantee Flare run. The bass really is something when you get the tips and fit just right but they are very picky. Overall I did like the sound but it was frustrating to get the fit perfect, for me, to hear...

Thanks both for your advice! I decided to save up some more and purchasing some Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020, after listening to them. Paired them with a Lotoo PAW S2 and the sound is incredible with no hiss.

It's never worked on any of my devices :frowning2: Are you using android/PC and tidal? Wondering if it's the device itself or the integration with what it's connected to... **Update: It does work in both Spotify and Tidal but only when Exclusive mode is not in use i.e. when not enabling...

Does the Play/Pause button work for anyone? I have tried multiple firmware versions (v2.0.0.4, v2.0.0.5) on multiple devices (Windows 11 PC, OnePlus 6 Android 11 Phone) all through Tidal (latest updated version on both Phone and PC with exclusive mode granted) but the Play/Pause button never...

Hello, I'm looking to get some new IEMs somewhere in the price region of £250-400. I recently got the Flare Audio E-Prototype but will be returning as the build quality and overall sound is not up to what I expected. I listen to mostly hip-hop, rap, jazz, rock, and classical music. I prefer...
