FWIW, I have only owned the Vegas and tried the Andromeda and Atlas. The Vegas and Atlas are okay, not for the price, though. The Andromedas are good if you like that kind of sound signature. While I have never RMA with them, there was one occasion where I emailed them with an issue on my...

I have tested it on my S22U, and it works well. For iPhone, though, it is a bit finicky. Using ddhifi lightning to c otg the phone would detect the dongle (BTD 600 in my case) as requiring too much power. With other random adapters/otgs that I have lying around, the Bluetooth dongle works well...

Honestly, at this point, I'll just make away with the Bluetooth dongle and connect directly with the phone itself since I faced more connection issues (connection drop, static noise, crackling noise) with the BTD 600 dongle than I have, the marginal improvement in the quality is not worth the...

The only place where it would not work directly is with iPhone (i.e., USB C to lightning cable), where you'd need an OTG. iPad, Android, PC, and Mac work with any generic USB C cable. As general info for iPhone users, with iPhone, you'd need to turn ON the DAC mode first before plugging it into...

Sorry for asking a possibly dumb question here since this is my first experience using a Bluetooth DAC. Does Bluetooth DAC work the same way as it does with wired DAC (i.e., I need to set my phone digital volume to max and adjust the playback volume through the DAC)? As this UP5 is my first...

Agree that it sounds really good (it's more on SE in my case), that's why I'm conflicted. It changed the sound unfavorably if I may say. With BAL, the music sounds a tad veiled or muddy, while it is crispy and a tad clear on SE. My understanding is if there's any difference between the two, it...

Do you have any plan to get it RMA'ed? I have contacted Anson, and he believes that 4.4 should be louder than 3.5 on SE (as it should be). He suggested reflashing the firmware (both the USB SAxxx and the audio firmware). Have flashed multiple times, different firmware, same settings for the...

Does anybody here still experiencing bugs or issues with their unit? I have a couple of issues that I'd like to check if it has been solved (or if anyone is aware that Anson is working on a fix):. Inconsistent firmware. I like 3.6 (sensitive IEM) more than the general 3.3 for my IER-Z1R due to...

Yes, that's what I've been doing if I wanted to use the Kann as USB DAC for my iPad. It is weird though, as I have been using Mojo, and HiFi M8 as USB DAC for iPhone or iPad without this power problem. It is also notwithstanding the fact that Kann comes with an internal battery/power. Maybe...

Hi. While I’m able to connect my Kann to my iPad Pro using a CCK, I cannot seem to do so without at the same time connecting the CCK with a power supply. If the CCK is connected “as is” without connection to any power supply, the error message will get triggered.

Hi Shetzu, Thank you for your detailed guidance on how to connect the KANN as USB DAC to my Mac. So the problem for me was the I seem to use several faulty USB cables or cables which the Kann does not like. When I connected the Kann with the custom USB cable that I used to use with my then...

Hi Shetzu, I have tried to connect my Kann as USB DAC to my Mac, but it is not recognised, which is unusual. Typically my Mac will instantly recognise external USB DAC devices, like my Mojo, HiFi M8, Fiio X5-iii and DX-200. I have tried to restart both my Kann and my Mac, albeit with no joy. I...

Yes, this is precisely the response that I'm waiting for. My initial statement is not meant that it is a fact, but something of a possibility. And I'm really grateful for having feedback from a user like you

Wow is there even need to be that savage with your reply? I've never said that the new products should not offer new features, as it's not even my point here. What I grieved about having not too long ago having to cashed my hard earned Money for AMP2, with a mind, that AMP5 would be better...

Having read through your review, it seems that AMP5 is an upgrade to AMP2. While I'm okay with AMP5 being a sidegrade to AMP2, I feel cheated by iBasso if AMP5 is significantly better than AMP2. The reason why I jumped the gun with AMP2 because I thought that AMP would be intended more for an...

Oh nooo, tell me that you are joking. I don’t want to part with my money that fast. Anyway, from the specs sheet that has been circulating in this thread, although AMP5 is touted to provide more power than the AMP2, it seems that there is no difference between the output of AMP2 and AMP5. So...

What is the main difference between AMP2 and AMP5. Does the difference justify me to purchase the AMP5 in addition of AMP2? I have no way to test, and there have not been any reviews so far, so I can only rely on the impression in this thread. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you cannot go wrong with the Vegas, especially to those who loves warm and lush sound. Anyway, I am looking forward to the release of AMP5 to see what it could offer to me (I am an avid SE believer). It’s just recently that i purchased the AMP2, and if the AMP5 is decent (high power with a...

Yes, I suggest you to wait first, as looking at the (planned?) trait of the AMP5 which is the power, I suspect it will prone to hiss with the 846. I don’t know, it is just a speculation on my side. As for the CA Vega, my only gripe with it is the driver flex. Other than that the sound is blissful.

If you are using single ended, then AMP2 might be a good choice as it adds a little oomph in the low register. As for 2.5 TRRS, you might be happy with AMP1 or AMP3. Otherwise, you might want to wait for what the AMP5 could offer. As for me, I use AMP2 with CA Vega and JHA Angie II. So far I...

Got it. Maybe I will try a different version of your FW later tonight if I can get back home early. Thanks Lurker for your response.

So should I flashed a different version instead, as I use mostly UAPP anyway, though I would sometimes use Neutron. But at this point, smooth playback is preferable for me, so if I have to stick with one, I would with UAPP. I have hide Mango in USB Audio settings, and already set UAPP as the...

Lurker, I might need some help here. I’ve just installed your firmware build 2.5.141L1 on my DX200 yesterday. The one issue that I experience is that the USB audio would, from time to time, detached by itself for reason unknown to me, if I interact with the music player, or, if I wake the...

I can vouch for iBasso’s team attentiveness. From the start of me contacting Paul for repairing the ghost touch screen, to the RMA process, until the delivery back to me (it was express delivery by the way), he always replied promptly and always being helpful at any time possible. It’s good...

I forgot, to be honest, as it was several days ago. I guess it should be maximum volume, as I usually use the line out via Android mode that way (high gain, max volume). I'll check again and will get back later. Thanks for replying Paul.
