Yes but I advise only using it on E02 and no other 4.4mm

In theory, it is safe on any, but will only work on those DAPs where 5th Pentaconn "GND" pin is connected. Otherwise, you gonna have L/R pins of your 3.5mm TRS plug connected while GND will be floating.

is the dj30a completely safe to use with e02? gonna get mine tomorrow.

Yes but I advise only using it on E02 and no other 4.4mm

Please refer to the following quote from DJ30A product description:

So why do we need this adapter?
The DJ30A 3.5mm Female to 4.4mm Male Adapter is designed for products with a 4.4mm balanced jack but lacks a 3.5mm single-ended jack, such as the iFi Zen DAC and Cayin E02 Audio Motherboard for N6ii. The uniqueness of the design is to simulate the 3.5mm single-ended connection, rather than short-circuiting the negative poles of the left and right channels.

But please kind note the following:
1. During our testing, the design of DJ30A is found to be incompatible with all models of Sony Digital Music Players / Walkman®.
2. DJ30A is not recommended for use with devices which has a built-in 3.5mm jack, such as FiiO’s range of Digital Audio Player and DAC / Amplifier. If you still want to give it a try, please note that you may get unexpected tonal change. For example, on the FiiO M15, we have observed noticeable differences at the high-end frequencies when using the DJ30A via 4.4mm port as compared to the original 3.5mm port.

Hi Andy So this has been tested on the iFi Zen? How does it sound? The Zen doesn't have a 3.5mm port, but it does have the "S-balanced" 1/4" port you can adapt to 3.5mm using any number of standard step down adapters.

I copy and paste from the product description page of HK dealer, since they claimed that it work with iFi Zen specifically, I assume they have tested it already.

Guys, google play aside, is there any other differences between Chinese and Global firmware?

I did not identify any difference between Chinese and Global firmware in terms of SQ or usability.

I just wondering what is this black sticker use for? its making it difficult to insert amp module, is it safe to peel it off?

Yes, you can peel it off. We pre-install it on A01 and T01 Audio Motherboard, but by the time we introduce E01, we decided leave it as an optional accessories in the package and suggest user to apply that only when they feel the gap between the Audio Motherboard and N6ii chassis as a bit too loose (only happen in a very small percentage of sample).

The Chinese firmware does not have the complete Google Service, not just the Google Play. Other than that, they are supposed to be identical.

Thanks for the answer.

Greetings to the Head-Fiers, new to the thread here
Has anyone tried the N6ii E02 with Focal Utopias? Is E02 capable to drive them properly?
Appreciate your help
Nikos

 

[DaYooper]

Yes, and sure.

This is also my experience with E02 & IER Z1R. To me this combination sounds wonderful. Absolutely not experiencing any brightness here.

Its strange but fro me with this combo the IER Z1R sounds "bigger" for want of a better word. Not really like an IEM in presentation but more like a full sized headphone. Kinda reminds me of the LCDi4 I used to own. That had a similar feeling.

The E02 also has good synergy with my Focal Elegia. I am using EQ and achieving great results with this pair up.

 

[justsomesonyfan]

anyone got a comparison of e02 and dx220 max?
