E1DA DACs Discussion Thread (PDV2, 9038S, 9038D, 9038X, HiFiToy, HPToy)

No, I'm not interested in the Powerdac. 9038d all the way for a solution as portable as possible.
Since the D variant is not available yet, I'm wondering how fast the 9038s drains R3's battery.
I'm asking as I used to have the R3.

The image said 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Isn't it supposed to be the other way around, as a balanced output is usually set to provide higher current to the headphones than the single-ended?
I don't know how to explain it. IMG_20191115_220831.jpg

Does anyone here knows for sure that power dac E1DA works on Hiby R3??
Not the 9038s model, the power dac E1DA...
Furthermore I need an opinion based on using multi BA Iems (DM6) on E1DA Power dac (background noise etch...) thanks......

E1DA is the name of the company. Two models are currently being produced, the 9038s and the PDV2. @Krassi may be able to tell you if the PDV2 works with the R3. However, even if it does work I can't imagine it will last more than a couple of hours before the battery is drained. PDV2 needs a lot of power and is probably best used with either a computer or with a phone and powerbank.

I have the DM6, which I listen to sometimes with the PDV2. When there is no music playing the hiss is noticeable. When music is playing the hiss is much less noticeable and doesn't really bother me, so I have no problem listening to them with the PDV2. However, if you are sensitive to hiss, then it is likely the hiss will bother you and you may not enjoy the experience. I would suggest considering the 9038s. The DM6 sound really good paired with it and there is no hiss, at least no hiss I can hear. Plus battery drain is much less of an issue with the 9038s. Of course, you do sacrifice the HPToy app with the 9038s.

The BGVP DM6 are very low impedance
Not sure if they would work so well with the power output of these devices
I use mine with VE Zens, the Shuoer Tape and TIN P! which makes a difference
I'll give mine a try but I think there might be a noise problem

The one thing the DM6's have above all my other IEMs is great isolation/fit
Took mine on a business trip this past week for some 10 hour flights to compete with some ANC buds
Found out even with the noise isolation the cheepo ANC buds sounded better in the plane for some reason where as on land the DM5's kicked butt

Have been a good chunk of this thread with interest. To be 100% sure - the 9038s can only run with an iPhone using an additional powerbank? - EDIT just read carefully again the first post and all questions answered.

@Alexandros i think this pdv2 and R3 combo will kill the battery in no time and you get a "hot pocket" in you trouser. The pdv2 is great in a snowstorm to keep you warm but not the best mobile choice :wink:
Also 9038s sounds amazing with this. You daont have the mighty EQ App, but a super clear DAC with less noisefloor than the pdv2 that works with any sensitive IEM.

Shoure tape sounds amazing on this once you tune down the 4khz with the crappy R3 Equalizer.

totally!
Sundaras, tin p1, shoure tape.. all sound amazing on it.
i tweaked all my presets again and now i need to decide if i use the silver cable or the silver/copper cable wich works with its flat connectors (i was lucky)
