There's also Cayin PH-4X 4.4mm or MEE Audio 4.4mm

MEE Audio

Those are both good options for converting 2.5mm bal to 4.4mm bal, for sure. But he was looking to convert 4.4mm bal to 2.5mm bal (female 4.4mm to male 2.5mm). Those are rare adaptors. SendyAudio has one, I posted pics before, and Penon also has one, both pigtail style.

Yeah uh I wasn’t trolling. I was just rueful at how I under appreciated the hot swap Mango OS in the past, I didn’t spend much time with it and with DX220 it’s very pronounced.

Tidal masters MQA is also very good so it’s unfortunate that we’d have to switch back and forth to enjoy both. I was more wowed by the Mango difference though. I wish there was a way to have those improvements without rebooting, but this is probably beyond what Android would ever allow. The app would have to totally take over and suspend everything.

Hey ! Just got my DX220, what a beautiful device.

A few questions about burn-in: ATM I can only stream low-res file from soundcloud, and at low volume. Does that affect the burn-in by any means ? Is the file quality related or is it all about the current going through the components ?

Is the low volume going to affect the time it would tike to burn-in on the long term if I only play at low volume ?

Thanks !

I'm sure Paul said just to play at normal listening volume

Saw this on Aliexpress

 

[Lurker0]

does this further improve SQ in Mango mode, or is it just for efficiency?

Only a liar can say about "sound improvements", especially speaking about bit perfect sound path, because, obviously, tastes are so different! Of course, it affects the sound signature, but for how much and for which kind - it's up to the particular listener to decide. You'll never hear "my firmware improves sound" from me for the aforementioned reason.

How long takes this dang "Restarting to Mango..."
It's been running for 3 minutes !

Edit: I did shut it down with a long press the rebooted and it went to Mango
Edit: Tried it again and the transition from os to os went smoothly & quickly

Another 4.4mm female to 2.5mm male adapter, FiiO BL4.4

 

[fuhransahis]

Another 4.4mm female to 2.5mm male adapter, FiiO BL4.4

He was looking for the opposite, a 4.4mm female to 2.5mm male, but FiiO has that same adapter you posted in the reverse configuration too

 

[toughnut]

Dang, wrong pic. It’s 2.5mm male to 4.4mm female, called LB4.4. I ordered one actually.

Dunu has finished cable with similar connectors like that for 299USD, kinda pricey: https://penonaudio.com/dunu-hulk.html

Also the Dita Oslo cable (did I already post it here or just in the Solaris thread? - if double posted my apologies).



MMCX or Two pin

So, regarding Amp1 MKII VS Amp1Ti

The Amp1 MKII is an obvious improve from stock Amp1 on the former Dx200. This is basically an Amp1 Modified which is inspired by Amp1Ti. The differences is that Amp1Ti has that Toshin Kogyo capacitor.

**disclaimer** this comparison is just for fun, as you can not buy Amp1Ti, and for the research purposes.

The Amp1 MKII is very similar to Amp1Ti, the only differences is the trebles. The Amp1Ti is sweeter, less grains and glares. It does not happen to all songs, but it certainly do so.

 

[Lurker0]

Just an update. I installed the Rockchip driver just to see if it would work and it sure did. So that's what was missing.

Sorry, I forgot that, unlike DX200/DX150 users, DX220 newcomers might not have Rockchip drivers already installed I've updated descriptions providing the drivers.

After short burst of DAP ..., this one is my end game for now. ...

This was utterly honest

I wonder why they left off the Toshin, I'll be upgrading the AMP1 mkii to AMP1ti clone+ like I did on the dx200.
