It's expensive as it is a DAC/AMP, but I can tell you from experience that the iDSD Micro does and EXCELLENT job with my HD-650s.

I think its not really portable for me. I want something really sleek.
I have the O2 but i use the E11 a lot more because its so easy to carry.

I was looking at the new E11k or E12 or something like that.

Understood.  Just to be clear though, I SHOULD have pointed out in my photo that the iDSD Micro is the top silver unit only.  The unit below it is the iCAN Micro, and is a completely separate device which is A/C powered.  So that stack isn't what I carry.  Just the DX90 & the top unit is my portable solution.  Fits in my laptop bag no problem.
 
Granted, not as small as the DX90, but it really is just long.  The huge battery for all that power has to go somewhere!  
 
To be honest, I have the FIIO e18,and it will drive my HD-650s "adequately" in terms of it will make them loud enough for moderately loud environments, but never sound as "full" and clear as they do with the iDSD Micro.

Being into painting in my day you can use a small amount of methylated spirits on a cloth. Don't be confused with acetone or paint thinners which will ruin the screen (melt plastic), use metho.

Also, WD40 was probably a bad idea.

Try olive oil.

 

[necroevil]

I tried corn oil well i guess its the same haha. The glue residue is so tough as i didnt remove the protector when i first bought it. It took me a year to remove and this **** happen.

There's a really good product to remove glue residue, called De-Solv-It    https://www.de-solv-it.com/  Works better than anything else I have tried.
 
Another common product is lighter fluid.  All the screen protector shops in HK use this to clean phone lcds before applying a screen protector.  Obviously, don't smoke, or use it around open flames.  But it works well.

Funny how in this day and age people feel the need to make disclaimers. 

 

[ttt123]

???  It's not a legal disclaimer, it's a warning.  Lighter fluid is flammable, and a warning , just in case people do not think of it, is a pretty good idea, I think.  Though now that you mention it, I will add a disclaimer.  "This advice is given without any commitment to workability, nor is there any implicit verbal contract intended.  The adviser is not responsible for any damages, derived in any form, whether direct or consequential.  Use at your own risk"

Updates methylated spirit doesn't work but I do see improvements . I will try Zippo .

Anyone having this problem? When connected as a DAC to my Macbook Pro El Capitan, if I touch the volume buttons or try to change it with the keys on keyboard, the sound freezes and the output crashes. Is it only me or is it faulty driver? I know that the sound should be totally controlled by DAC as it is redirected. I wonder what causes the crash.

Nice

   
Me too. I have errors in the console:

Nice! You pinpointed the problem. I honestly have given up on the DAP function. It's literally unusable

I have had vegetable oil work.  Then clean the oil off of course.

Anyone face random reboot while playing music for around 30-50 minute seesion? Once it reboot, the wallpaper is back to default.
