That is quite good news, i was considering just going all minimalist and get a iDSD Signature for xBass.
Which Diana are you using? Any quick impression and comparisons?
That's what I'm doing with the ifi micro idsd black label and the ifi micro Ican SE for warmer days and that's it (maybe an OTL tube amp down the line).
I'm using Diana v2. The xbass feature + stepper under the pads to create a bass port is providing great amount of bass. The tremble can be fatiguing to me sometimes so I switch to the Arya for a more laid back sound during that time. No EQ because I like to switch headphones and the sound is good enough for me. I don't really like the harman target.

I'm no DAC/AMP/Cable guruu so I put my money in headphones. I can't hear the difference between the sub 500 bucks dac/amp so I cannot provide more insides on that.
What I don't like is the confort. I'll try to 3D print earpads adapters to roll pads but there are Dekoni pads for the diana if you want.

I heard the signature is better than the BL but I never tried and I'm not sure I'll be able to tell the difference. Until I can A/B X expensive stuff and tell there is a difference other than placebo, I'm not ready to put that much money on the line and I even question my spending with headphones :jecklinsmile:

Looking forward to the ported ear pads. There’s nothing wrong with adding a little more bass to the Diana’s.

Hi everybody, I need a general audio hardware/PC advice. I use my Conductor 3XR with Roon in the Asio mode on a Windows PC, and every time I want to watch YouTube, it won't play because the audio device is locked. I have to turn the amp off and on again in order to unlock it. Is there a way to work around this limitation? Some tool, maybe, that can switch audio devices without the need to turn the amp off? Thanks!

Someone stole my Diana case. Luckily I only had a couple adapters in the case.

What have you been using as a replacement case for the Diana headphones.

I use that one generic case from aliexpress. It fitted my HD650 perfectly and same for the Diana. I don't use the orignal Abyss case because it's only a bag that doesn't protect the headphones from shocks.

Could you tell what you mean with 1 at the back or make a picture? i want to try the same one mine
there is a picture in his post and mine above, just get anything about the thickness shown in the pictures and the magnets will hold it in place if it doesnt have adhesive already
