As soon as there is a anodized black/blue color combo - i will buy a pair of K10U's. I might give them a test listening this weekend in Bangkok at Munkonggadget - if they still have their last pair left by then.

Yes this is because this application is not preventing clipping. If you want to have an EQ that does not distort when you boost frequencies you have to give some extra headroom approx. the same amount of the maximum selectable dB boost amplitude. Its not a bug, its a feature. There is no...

Thanks for the reply paul, but when i switch it off manually the battery will not drain even after weeks. You think it is the battery then ? I think it is funny because i went through different firmwares and i can't imagine that the power off feature is anything else than a software feature - so...

I have this since the last two firmwares, i made a factory reset a couple of times already. Battery is fully charged on one day and empty on the other.

Anyone else having an issue that the DX80 will not automatically power off ? I set power off to 30 minutes just to see my full charged DX80 completely empty the next day. There was no music playing.

whatever, everyone has a different take on this. I just enjoy my dx80 now.

There have been tests from Würth Elektronik clearly stating that noise can be transferred even on the D+ / D- Lines and will cause the stream on USB Audio to sound different. As it is not a File Transfer, but more of a isochronous data "stream" - the noise level inside these lines can affect...

It is interesting that you talk about USB Cable quality and DX80 as USB DAC. I found that with my recently made custom cables (Teflon, Silver coated, silver soldered - length 25cm - AWG 20/20) i get the best performance/sound.  

So i finished my small little project because the Jitterbug had some issues in its original state: my DAC was not recognized by Windows when connected VIA jitterbug on one port it was working but the sound was distorted   So i decided to have a look at the PCB and furthermore decided to...

I will also give Lurkers Firmware a test spin today when i get home. Though i think that sound changes described by some people are mostly subtle because of a higher expectation (there have been many tests that people who believe something has changed or has a higher quality - will for their own...

Hey, i am not one of those "firmware changes the soundstage or depth of the sound" guys. But i always like removing stuff that is not needed, and i like the simplistic font. So thumbs up for the mod. Thanks

I don't know why people complain about treble on the SE846 ? I have used the blue filter mod and currently connected the norne audio therium silver cable. I have the full band of frequencies. Nice and present, not overpronounced - just the way it is supposed to be. But yes if you look for...

Shure SE846 with Norne Therium Silver Cable     Noble Savant with Custom Silver Cable

  Lovely 

Hard to compare the savant to the SE846. Will take me a long listening session till they both got a proper cable now  

  Just perfect ...

Thanks for your answer, but since the poping, clicking noise is also there without any software opened i dont think that foobar will make it go away. But of course i will give it a try, just does not seem to be a logical possibility.   It is clearly from the player itself, like when the DAC...

Thanks for the hint, i already have the ASIO buffer at 2048 and the streaming mode to minimal. I don't use foobar, and the sound is also there when i don't have a player or anything else open. It is like i can hear one of the IC's working it is always the same "pattern" of pops - repeating after...

So no one else has those popping noises in DAC mode, can be heard easiest when nothing is playing.. comes up every 5-10 seconds :(

Yeah well i have to admit when opening the device and looking at the PCB layout and the components i was disappointed. The 5V Line runs on the same side of the double layered PCB as the Data Lines (which is counterproductive) and the choke SMD is not allowing enough current to pass through for...

I tried to listen closer to my noises on my DX80.. when i connect my headphones to Line out it is silent, as soon as i connect to the headphone out it seems that i am picking up a Radio Station or something just very distorted. I could hear some percussion, drum sounds in a very harsh distorted...

    Hey wakokoboyz, the problem is that i mainly use my DX80 as DAC from Monday - Friday. So it stays connected to the PC. I only use it as portable player on the weekends.     Quote:   Hello Paul, thanks for the quick response.   I tried it with foobar 2000 player using FLAC files...

I finally also bought a Jitterbug and couldn't wait to test it.   I plugged it into my USB port and plugged in the cable with the DAC.... hmm nothing. Windows will not recognize my Device. Tried a different port, same problem, tried the last available port which supports a higher current - the...

OK some problems with the new firmware:   When connecting USB it will automatically change to card reader mode and you cannot pull down the top bar in card reader mode, only if you change the volume and instantly pull it down the bar will appear for me so i can change to DAC When a file...

Installed new Driver and new Firmware. So happy with the DX80 now, that i sold my Meridian Explorer 2 (and use the DX80 now as USB DAC and portable player).
