full volume? does the source material matter at all? or just load up some albums in flac and put it on random repeat?

I use the IsoTek burn-in cd but anything will do. iBasso say that volume doesn't matter when using the burn-in cable

Sounds great with an SR71B!

Does indeed but the amount of improvement varies from phone to phone and for most phones I wouldn't bother with an amp, I only use it because I allready had it and all my phones were balanced

  i totally forgot about the gain setting at all. speaking of which, is there a general guideline for what gain to use? earlier i was listening to it (without realizing) on low gain at about 198 and that seemed great. currently i'm using the zero audio tenores which have a 16ohm impedance and 102db/1mw sensitivity.

You will get the lowest noise and greatest battery life with the lowest gain setting that gives you sufficient volume. With 102db sensitivity I would use low gain.

yeah, i experimented with every gain setting using the volume to get to about the same perceived level of loudness and compared the sound and felt that low gain came out the most pristine sounding, medium gain was okay and high gain had a little more bass punch but sounded a bit more ragged. so i'm gonna stuck with low gain for these iem's at about 190-ish on volume, that seems to be pretty ideal.

  Whatever sounds best. I tend to like high gain best. Some hear a difference in gain settings, some don't. Use what works, there are no rules. 

Ageed!! listen to what you like~~ I like the mid gain for my IEM but high gain for my P7 & HD650

is it possible to use DX90 ad a dac to iPad or iPhone via the CCK? I want to find a way to listen to Spotify / Wimp via DX90 without a computer.

No. The DX90 draws to much power and it requires a driver

 

[highfell]

Anyone pairing their dx90 with a balanced amp?

Very nice with the Pb2 balanced out to Sennheiser HD600

So how does the sound from the PB2?

 

[hyper8]

Any word when the x64 Windows 8 USB DAC driver is coming out?

 

[Cotnijoe]

Fingers crossed that its soon...

 

[bigsix]

Has anyone tried the Havi B3 Pro-1 with the DX90?

 

[prscustom]

i got the dx90 and returned fiio x3. intial impressions are good, it sounds better than x3, i dont want to give any detailed opinion before any critical listening.
 
one problem:
 
i connected it via cinch to my main system and how can i listen and charge at the same time? battery life is really short
 
it doesnt let me play while the usb is connected. really stupid

Settings -> USB-> Charge only.

Settings -> USB-> Charge only.

Or connect it to a wall charger rather than a computer
