This is obviously a noob question.. But I just bought my HIFIMAN HM801, and how do I access its digital out? (PS, though it's bigger than the iRiver so even if I figure this out I might just use my iRiver..)

I can either in a very polite way say RTFM or come with some suggestions: I suppose HM801 use a 3.5mm connector for digital out? It's possible the amp in HM801 stop working if you plug in a SPDIF cable and it start to work as a transport only. If that doesn't work, check the system settings on the player.
However it's best to ask an actual user of HM801, so I pass the torch to one of them.

I have a feeling I am going to re cable all my headphone to that it could use balance very soon.
Soldering iron where are you ? Time to get heated up again.
But what source can I get with balance out ? -- In a portable form !!!
It would be good if there is a DAC with the AMP in one box. If not we could be looking at a 3 box ??? portable setup.
What about spare battery.

Dude they are making a DAC to suit the Amp... Not exactly sure when it arrives though.

Wiring pattern for the male and female plug:
Taking the picture as the female jack, i thought for plug the numbering will be different? 1 to be changed to 6, 2 to be changed to 5 and 3 to be changed to 4?

According to iBasso, that figure and the 25.2 voltage swing is in fully-balanced (balanced in/balanced out) or BTL (SE in/balanced out). SE/SE voltage swing is 12.6v. Watts/channel would, of course, also be less. Balanced DAC should be launched in about 3-4 weeks.

Yes and no..... Pins always go into their respective numbered partner...for example, male pin 1 goes into female receptacle 1 etc, but keep in mind that they face one another. The numbering will *appear* to be reversed when looking at them each head-on.
You will notice that male plugs are numbered on the rear while females are numbered on the face. If you wire according to the printed numbers on each, you will be correct.

I use a magnifying glass to see the numbers and then put a black mark by number one. There is no way I could see them otherwise and get it soldered.

I'm definitely thinking about getting this one. The K702s could use a balanced output and more power
