:smile::smile::smile: I better stop my recommendations.

Would really suggest you demo the Sundara with the ZEN DAC via the 4.4mm balanced output. Trust me, you will be blown away. :smile::smile:

Sincere recommendations :smiling_imp::smiling_imp: And sad to hear they'll gonna be freeze for a while, while enjoying your new pairing. :yum::yum:

Agreed the ZEN DAC and LCD-1 pairing is lovely. But I prefer the ZEN paired with my Sundara instead of LCD-1. The soundstage is super, but lack of mids compared to LCD-1.

Am currently using IE80s, wired to a balanced cable, with SR25. One word for this pairing..LOVELY. I do get some deep rumbles on certain track. That's how low the bass can be. With IE800s, i bet that's the end game for you, for now :L3000::L3000: Oh...I am also a NW-A105 owner prior to SR25...

+1 Am looking forward to the MQA implementation to the S1 before pulling the trigger.

With all due respect to you as a reviewer and a Headphone Supremos in Head-Fi, I disagree with your above statement. After going through all 18 pages, I can confirmed one thing the majority of posters here have..Empathy. Sense of empathy towards what John has went through in order to get his...

In Chinese, there's a saying as below and this is considered as one of the golden quote in some corporations or businesses. Rightfully, Woo Audio should have adopted this in the beginning but having 18 pages in a space of less than a week, well....needless to say more.

@WooAudio is too ARROGANT and EGOISTIC to apologize personally to John, let alone a public apology. Oh...lack of empathy as well to their loyal and returned customer like John.

Well, @Curtisvill If I am one your staff, and I had an OPPORTUNITY to say 'I'm DONE talking to you' to your customers, I'd be fired right away right? Am super surprised how an employee saying such rude comment are still being employed. Perhaps the upper management follow the same culture as...

Couldn't agree more. Never sweep your mistakes under the carpet. Wrong means wrong lor...Just admit it sincerely lor and move on la....:smile:

I bet WA will not swallow that pride. Too EGOISTIC since they started clarifying all, based on their position and not in the customers' perspective and feelings. Lacks of empathy from my view.

Oh... Sorry for the typo...was meant by a vendor to a customer.

Have put this thread into my 'Watch' list!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Being part of the service line around 20-ish years and running, 'I'm DONE talking to you' was just FANTASTIC and pure FANATIC, ever thrown by a vendor to a seller. Should any of my guests I...

Thanks @Giangi for the information. Much appreciated.!

Sorry if I have to ask this silly question. Aside from power supply, is there any other values using the ZEN DAC with USB only vs USB+DC supply? Did a short test with the above, and I can hear there's more power and 'thumping' bass with the latter. Don't get me wrong. Am loving the ZEN DAC as...

It works now with DC supply plugged in while removing the lightning supply to the iPhone via the USB 3. But I noted that the ZEN DAC would not light up green immediately when power up as opposed to powering up with USB only. It only starts working when started to playback and color is rotating...

Thanks @iFi audio for the kind confirmation. Am loving the sound from it after letting it run continuously for 72 hours and still running...:L3000:

Hello All I have just bought the Zen, and would like to get some help/suggestions on how to operates it. 1. Am currently outputting from iPhone 6. Via CCK, the Zen has no issues powering up and playback. But when connected with wall power supply, it does not power up and stated 'accessory...

You can refer here on for installation of the XAPK and other side load apps. Hope it helps.

Thanks @JasonNYC for the confirmation. Much appreciated.

Hello @JasonNYC Would like to check with you whether you have any updates for the above. Many thanks again for your kind confirmation!

Thanks for the information. Not really a technical guy so am glad I learn something. Battery 'burn in'! :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

I'm with you for the above as I came from the Sony NW-A105 player. As mentioned, aside from playback from the Sony Music app that can juice up to 20hours or more easily, using other Android music apps is a battery killer. Just finished with battery test. 18 hours until the DAP shut down via...

Anyone experiencing this issue whereby offline tracks is no longer playing when switch to Offline mode for iPhones? I did not have this issue in earlier day of yesterday but after an hour or two later, it is not playing any saved tracks. Thanks! EDIT: After logging off and re-log in, offline...
