    iBasso DX120 pure DAP player. Balanced, single ended, line out and 2 micro SD slots. FW 2.9.21 now out!

    Per your suggestion I tried a different cable yesterday and that did the trick! But it was actually the original cable that worked. At work I only had a generic cable that I mostly use to charge or transfer files to my phone. This cable allows the DX120 to charge but I guess not to transfer...

    iBasso DX120 pure DAP player. Balanced, single ended, line out and 2 micro SD slots. FW 2.9.21 now out!

    Hi, is anyone having trouble with their DX120 being recognized in Windows 10? At home, my media computer still running Win7 (yes, it's an old computer) but I have no trouble accessing the file library on the SD card (for downloading and deleting files). On Monday at work I tried plugging the...

    iBasso DX120 pure DAP player. Balanced, single ended, line out and 2 micro SD slots. FW 2.9.21 now out!

    I'm sorry to hear JuanLuis91 about your DX120 experience. I've had mine since summer 2019 and have had no problems so far (knock on wood...). I do have noticed that some chargers make the battery warmer than others so I hope my continues to work for a long time. trivium911, that's very useful...

    Yes, I would agree with this. It's not the highest quality of cable and construction but very good for what you pay, and the cosmetics don't affect the audio performance. I also had a loose heatshrink piece on one side so I will be using a bigger piece of heatshrink to cover this and make the...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Looking forward to your impressions. I do remember considering the Artic cables, seemed like a good product.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Hi, regarding the 2.5/4.4 I'd go with 4.4 termination now because it looks like that's where the industry is going. Most of the new DAPs coming out have 4.4 output. I also have 2.5 DAPs and when I ordered my custom cable I chose 4.4 termination and use it with a 2.5 to 4.4 adapter. As to that...

    Thanks! Reece is such a nice guy and he accommodated my requests for 4.4 termination and the bigger sleeve because I like this look over the braided one.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    This is where I got mine from in mid summer. No issues whatsoever and I believe they're authentic.

    Yayyy! Mine arrived on BF. Nice and soft, so so much better than stock. Will listen this weekend for sound impressions. But color me impressed with the looks and materials quality.

    I've placed an order, the cables are on their way. I'll post about it when I get it.

    has anyone tried adjusting the headband to change the clamping force?

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I got this one from Amazon, the sound is good enough though the cable itself has microphonics. The material of the black sleeve feels like plastic so it isn't the softest, most flexible thing in the world. I've ordered a custom cable from eBay (skyaudio cables) but haven't received it yet.

    Sky Audio Cables

    Wow, both of those look really really nice, especially that brown/burgundy one. That's some serious sexy combo :p What do you think about the quality of the connectors?

    Thanks for the info. Any microphonics with the cables?

    Sky Audio Cables

    Hi, thanks for the mini report. Did you order thru Ebay or directly? Which cable did you choose, copper or Acrolink? I'm about to order for my new Focal Elegias because the stock cable is just horrible. thanks!

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I think it's just nice to have the choice. Yes I could have waited for a sale on the Elegia (maybe Xmas time?) to get close to $500 but if you can live with the conditions (no mfg warranty, 30-day returns & 1yr warranty from seller) then you can make your own choice. I hope everyone is happy...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Yes, that's where I got mine from as well. No manufacturer warranty but Adorama covers it for 1 year. Not a bad tradeoff in my opinion.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I agree, I got mine 2 weeks ago and enjoying its sound signature very much. Trying to find the most comfortable position/setting for my head hasn't happened yet (or maybe the clamp force is still too tight) but regardless of that I'm having a lot of fun. For the price I paid ($500 new) I'd say...

    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    Mine has never felt even very warm, just a little bit, even after 3-4 hours of playing. I mainly use coaxial input and balanced out.

    Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

    I'm using it right now with my Focal Elegia (35ohms) and has silent background, no problems at all and with very good dynamic sound.

    Takstar HF 580 Planar Headphones

    contact Andrew, the guy at Musictek, about the shipping charges. The automated system charges the $50 for international shipping but when I ordered headphones from him the actual charge ended up being like $20 to Asia.
