    XDUoo XD05PRO

    Don’t worry so much and you don’t have to cut them close to the board or anything but you can and it doesn’t hurt. The board is designed for DIP-8 sockets and the op-amps fit well once the protruding pins at the edges are no longer touching the caps. It’s just a minor hindrance, not technical...

    You don’t need to cut all the edges, but I did anyway. Yes you need 2xDual op-amps.

    I thought you could calculate the output impedance from those numbers. I’m not an expert here.

    XDUoo XD05PRO

    Yup that’s the one. On Amazon.de it was listed in German that’s why I didn’t link it earlier but you found it :) The blades are really thin and sharp, allows you to cut those edges like butter and you can cut it precisely up to the last mm.

    Let me put your mind at ease. Option 1: This is what I did first but this method is more cumbersome than the second one. With the full length of the op-amps + risers it’s not easy to put them in. Option 2: The edge pins are super thin and they cut very easily. You also don’t have to cut the...

    I will let him answer your question. But here’s an alternative. It’s a wire cutter. I used this to cut the edges, comes off nice and easy. You can cut it to any mm you want precisely. Bought it from Amazon for less than 10 bucks.

    Anyone has experience ordering from Taobao into the EU ? I wouldn’t mind getting extra op-amp boards to be able to easily switch op-amps.

    Don’t worry. I also ordered from Amazon. Mine arrived in-tact, not opened or damaged. You have to pay the taxes but your seller will reimburse this afterwards.

    Please stop spreading wrong information. Customs duties and taxes are paid by seller if you buy from Amazon. That’s where I got mine and after paying the taxes myself, the seller reimbursed it. This is written also in the Amazon terms and conditions. TLDR; The price displayed on Amazon is...

    Interesting ! I could not find anything on google based on your description (except some Racoon and UFO landing). Do you mind telling us what benefit this little "thingy" provides ?

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    This is what I had in mind when I said that at least the DAC could have been varied. It’s not so different than the original Go Bar.

    There’s also the gold version of the Go Bar called “Gold Bar” which is priced almost same as the Gryphon. Anyways you do you. I like Sushi, you can have your apples ! 😂

    XDUoo XD05PRO

    You can fit it in one of these 2 ways. 1. Using 2 DIP-8 risers. The op-amps almost touch the bottom of the device in this case and the device gets warmer compared to the 2nd method below. 2. Cut off the pins at the edges using a wire cutter, super easy and clean. Goes in without any risers and...

    You’re welcome but still not fully correct. It’s 2x AK4499EX and 1xAK4191EQ :wink:

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    Try listening to the Gryphon and the Go Bar and tell me which one you like. Both implemented by the same company, similar features and also price point. I personally prefer the Gryphon :)

    You left out a small but important detail. The R6 Pro II has 2x AK4499EX DACs. The design here results in it having an Octa-DAC like setup for all outputs, even for single ended.

    iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei... The Ultimate GO Bar Has Arrived!

    Another great product from IFI. Although I’m a bit disappointed by the DAC selection. I was hoping more for the usual IFI Burr Brown DACs and not Cirrus Logic again !

    Yes I have the R6 Pro II. Well, let’s see how it looks on paper. R6P2 ******* - R6P2 has 2x AK4499EX DACs. M23 has 1 - Dedicated LO ports (if that matters) - Superior Software M23 ***** - Desktop Mode (For most people this is not needed. A DAP is meant to be used as a portable device, not...

    Glad to know it ain't another issue lol. You're welcome :) If you don't hear a difference sonically except volume then better to stay at Eco/Normal. Less heat, less problems. I use mine at Normal always.
