an opportunity to demo one of my watch list item : ifi Hip DAC to drive my Elear. Quite interesting experience for me...
usually I used Abnormal cable to my AMP8EX-FE - Elear, but today I used BRISE Cable. and turn out, I don't need iDSD black anymore...
Even Hip DAC with 4.4 was not a great increment for my pairing...
Well at least, one thing that bothering me already relieve...

@Whitigir, what cable u used when pairing with your HD800?

I see... TQ...

seems I really need to think over modding DX220 body....

DX220Max or DX220EX-FE seems a bit shady (unclear when show up)
LOL! The outbreak is just being bad, very bad.....everything is being sluggish...I doubt even Apple will not be able to release anything this years. I do think Xbox and PS5 will still be on track though

Actually Nintendo Switch is increasingly price in current situation in my country...
and rare stock...
well... just have to embrace what we got... stay safe...


edit: my point, when I thought power is everything, but forget that synergy can be more with the right pair...

hi guys,

i'm planning to get the dx220 soon, the thing is my rig all ended with 4.4mm and thus thinking to buy the amp8 also ,but i see the stock amp1mk2 have its own 2.5mm balanced output and wonder how it compare with the amp8 , pretty sure the single ended lose to both balanced output.

should i buy 4.4 to 2.5 converter instead and save some cash.

which cables you use on the HD 540 RG, and whether you have any recommendation
Built my own from USSR military occ copper. Found it on ebay as nos. Cheapest and best sounding so far. Dont go for silver plated copper, that messes up treble. Mogami mic cable was also nice, huge step up over any Sennheiser made cable, though the beat so far is one i made from ussr occ military copper. Really want to try some gold plated silver cables, but they are to expensive at the moment. For now these are amazing.
Here is a link if interested. https://www.ebay.com/itm/50m-0-2-0-...654847?hash=item3adae6b0ff:g:uQwAAOSwHsRYEvdn
Not sure if it is all 24awg or 4x24awg and 4x26awg that I used.

Following up on the issue.
i did as was suggested by Paul, then upgraded to 1.13.202 FW, and it was fine for a few weeks.
Now again, same circumstances - using unit as DAC from Mango OS, then accidental shutdown, load to Android, corrupted card.

I will try latest FW and different SD card, but i do not think it's going to fix the issue.


Following up again.
Few months ago I did clean install as suggested, then upgraded to the latest firmware as of now.
and, i have not had issue for these few months.
However, it did get back again yesterday.
Same circumstances - Mango OS, DAC function, complete discharge (so the unit does not even power on).
Then I plugged it to the quickcharge, it was powered back after some time, but after turning on, it loaded Android and the card was reported as corrupted.

I am going to repeat this cucle few times with another card.
