    TOPPING EHA5 on Apos Audio: Unlock the True Potential of Your Electrostatic Headphones🎧

    I got the same email and I ordered it the same day as you. As I posted to ASR. "I'm ok with waiting as I'd rather not be the first to, potentially, have my L700 Mk ii burst into flames, while listening to Hendrix."

    Topping DX7 Pro - DAC and balanced headphone AMP with ES9038pro and Bluetooth 5.0

    Thanks for the confirmation. It's still a PITA to get in but I did get a visual guide from Topping when I asked. They sent it with the proviso that warranty was voided if attempted it. That being said, I have a lot of hi-res (DSD128\256\512 and 32\368\768) that DX7 Pro plays like an angel...

    Topping DX7 Pro - DAC and balanced headphone AMP with ES9038pro and Bluetooth 5.0

    I am running V6 Vivds in the DX7 Pro in the pre circuit and I like it. The Burson extender legs are fragile as a daddy long legs with rickets. I tried filling out an Asus Essence II Strix 7.1 card with the Burson V6 using the extenders. What a nightmare!. I have a set of Sparkos that I was...

    Topping DX7 Pro - DAC and balanced headphone AMP with ES9038pro and Bluetooth 5.0

    I have the DX7 Pro with Burson V6 Vivid in the preamp stage. The "Daddy Long Leg) extensions work fine but they are fragile. I don't use the HPA as it doesn't drive my Modhouse Argons or HD650 well enough. I have it on a Nobsound 3x3 XLR switch. One of the connections goes to the Topping A90, a...

    Topping DX7 Pro - DAC and balanced headphone AMP with ES9038pro and Bluetooth 5.0

    I used the extenders with the V6 Vivids in the pre-amp (set to exclusive mode). A little hot glue allayed any movement worries. I am very happy with this setup.

    Topping DX7 Pro - DAC and balanced headphone AMP with ES9038pro and Bluetooth 5.0

    Burson makes extenders to allow the V6 to recline comfortably,

    FiiO EH3 NC- aptX/aptX Low Latency/LDAC/aptX HD,50 hours battery life,1000 hours standby time,Bluetooth 5.0,ADI noise cancelling technology,One-touch NFC,Large 45mm drivers

    I have the mesh pads and they were disappointing in comparison to the originals. Mine have completely separated around the inner circumference. If Fiio is out of stock, I'm guessing this is a very common problem. I'll email support as well.

    I just notice my pads have done the same thing. Spilt completely around the inner seam. Hey Fiio? ARe you going to fix this?

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    I have been searching for an LDAC TX that would work with my PC. After reading the specs before purchase, I saw that it would achieve the highest TX with a coaxial connection fed with DSD64 audio. I have a large collection of DSD albums that work my ASIO setup to feed these to the BTA30 and...

    FiiO BTA30,Hi-Fi desktop bluetooth receiver&transmitter,RCA/Optical/Coaxial interface

    I haven't run into that issue. It does take a few seconds for the TX to my headphone connection to work at the beginning of each new listening session but once connected there are no gaps. Have you checked the Fiio control application from your phone? It's kind of a pain because you have to...

    FiiO BTA30,Hi-Fi desktop bluetooth receiver&transmitter,RCA/Optical/Coaxial interface

    It is not the best way to use it as it is limited to 16bit 44.1/48k . The optical does 24\192 and the coax does DSD64(DoP) and will TX those codecs over LDAC. The USB is the worst of the three.

    FiiO BTA30,Hi-Fi desktop bluetooth receiver&transmitter,RCA/Optical/Coaxial interface

    I have a couple of choices, The Realtek coax built into my motherboard. In addition, I have a customized C-Media soundcard for my default 7.1 analog sound, but I use it's coax out tor the BTA30. I have a huge music collection (250k tracks)on my home NAS with the majority in flac but I have 10k...

    FiiO BTA30,Hi-Fi desktop bluetooth receiver&transmitter,RCA/Optical/Coaxial interface

    I can also confirm that this does work and sounds splendid using LDAC TX (I tested the RX on Panda THX, the BTR5 and Fiio EH3).

    Audio-Technica ATH-DSR9BT/ATH-DSR7BT Bluetooth Headphones (With Digital Drive Technology That Replaces a Traditional DAC)

    The Drop THX Panda should be considered as best of breed. Coupling that with the Fiio BTA30 produces a very functional LDAC combo.

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    Not in my experience to date. RX and TX (and the DAC function) are isolated protocols. I did find something interesting. Using the ASIO driver, that came with my Asus Essence II, when using the coaxial (and not the optical) it will play DSD64 through LDAC!

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    To date, there is only the Fiio BTA30 that transmit LDAC from a pc. There is a Hiby but it a $150 POS. I bought the Panda to use with the BTA30 and reach a TOTL LDAC wireless experience. I've got 15Tb of music on my home NAS.

    FiiO BTA30,Hi-Fi desktop bluetooth receiver&transmitter,RCA/Optical/Coaxial interface

    Wow! I've been waiting for a product to allow LDAC TX from my pc and access my 14TB library of hi-res files. I had a Hiby but the range was limited strictly to line of sight. The BTA30 remains connected through 2 walls using LDAC! I'm connected to the EH3 and have experienced very few connection...

    Germanium's Sound blaster ZXR mod thread

    Hi, How are you affixing the opamps to the card. Is this just a hot glue gun?

    ASUS Xonar Essence STX II

    The great thing about opamp swapping is that it's a relatively cost effective way to revamp a huge slice of the audible experience. I've been playing with them since 2005 with my first Auzentech. I just ordered a set of Sparkos duals for my Topping DX7 Pro to run balanced DSD to my XMC-1. I've...

    ASUS Xonar Essence STX II

    The Burson Vivid V6 (more so then the Classic) do color the sound. On my Auzentech, running R\C\L , RS, RL and sub woofer. I noticed no loss of soundstage. I was running 3.5mm to dual RCA, into my Emotiva XMC-1 and dual Sunfire Cinema 5-200W for bi-amping all channels. I haven't got the Stix II...

    ASUS Xonar Essence STX II

    Out of curiosity, what were you connecting the card to and through what connection. I've had the Muses 8820\8920 in my Auzentech connecting to my pre\pre and amplifier. The difference between those and the Burson V6 Vivids was like the difference between talcum powder and untouched Peruvian flake.

    FiiO Flagship Portable High-Fidelity Bluetooth Amplifier BTR5 is available now!

    I highly recommend it. Balanced sources would seem to be usually of higher power. The Modhouse responds well to that. I have a 2nd non-modified T50RP. The difference is dramatic (as far as my subjective ear holes would could tell). Ryan takes forevaaaaaah to fill the backlog. It's worth the...

    FiiO Flagship Portable High-Fidelity Bluetooth Amplifier BTR5 is available now!

    I don't know about the Beyerdynamic's but it can adequately play through the balanced my HD650's (300 ohm) and My Modhouse T50rp with the balanced cable mod (unknown ohm but probably around 150).

    Burson V6 Vivid and V6 Classic Discrete Audio Opamps Discussion and Reviews

    I'm just starting to mix and match. I'm upgrading from an Auzentech Meridian with 3 dual Vivid's but the PCI slotted card won't transfer to the new computer I'm building.
