@FiiO any update on on when full USB functionality will be added?

For the spdif no audio issue it happens to me rarely when switching it as my from portable (line-out to portable amp) to transport (coax to DAC). Unplugging and replugging the spdif adapter got the output to work. I also had to restart once to fix the issue in the 3 months i've owned the device.

It does. When I first tried the Cv5, I only heard a small difference. I was using a Fiio X5 and a Lyra II. But that small difference made the iems so much easier to listen to. If you didn't hear a significant difference then that means more money for some other pice of gear. :)

1) 163,841 2) 169,635 3) 163,056

Getting my ican later. Can't wait!

ALO support said the pops are not an issue. Also, the pops WILL NOT cause any damage so I can leave my iems plugged in. It would have been a PITA to have to unplug/replug iems all the time.

Thanks for the replies! The pop on starting the unit isn't loud, just a bit bothered since it's not supposed to be there. I messaged ALO about it. If anyone else is experiencing this I'll post their reply here.

Does your Cv5 pop when you turn it on or off? Mine does and I read that the power on warmup should eliminate the pops.

Because Susvara completes me! :heart:

The next paragraph of the review gives more information on the comparison: "While I do think the Pass and Violectric are somewhat better amplifiers, the delta is not all that large. I slightly prefer the iFi over the Auralic Taurus and even the Simaudio 430HA much of the time, just for straight...

Download speed for the new firmware ver 1.1.5 was around 2 minutes in the Philippines I encountered one minor issue though. When the alert for the availability of the new firmware popped-up, I ignored it as i didn't want to be one of the first to discover a nasty bug. So, i ignored the pop up a...

I'm about to make an elear balanced cable for but I was hoping to get help from more experienced DIYers. Here's the diagram for the amp I'm following: http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/pro-ican/ 1. The Elear headphone connectors are TS...

Count me in for the giveaway!

My portable in-ear setup is a TF10 with extra drivers by Unique Melody. I've been using it for longer commutes since 2010(?). The isolation, portability, sound quality they provide make me only look at ciems as upgrades for use when i'm not at home. It's about time for an upgrade!      I...

I owned an SB16 and an SB AWE !

That's great advice. Thanks a lot!    Quote:  

Why did they need to tie it down? My rev 1 seemed to be just fine without the plastic cord.

Yeah. I'll do that too as soon as i get to try out the rev. 2s when i get home :)    It's with me at my office and I can't use it because i don't have a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.

Quote: I hope so.    What would you recommend I moisten it with aside from leather cpr and water?

I just got my rev. 2 today. When i opened the box i saw that one of the connectors from the yoke came loose and was biting into the leather.      It seems that the cups were secured to the yokes by a plastic band but one of them was improperly attached.     I'm hoping the...

  Do you have balanced headphones? If so, which ones? LCD-2 with an 4-pin XLR and a 1/4 adaptor. For balanced headphone output, how important is it to have dual three-pin XLRs as well as a 4-pin XLR? I would be fine with just a 4-pin XLR For a balanced amp, how important is it to...

  Quote: Whoa. I'm amazed at how fast they sold out!  

The refurbished units are going for a good price. If I didn't already have a D1 i would definitely get a refurbished one now.     Quote:
