I never have many issues with the UI as I use it pretty simply. That the sound holds up to the newest competition, goes to show how well everything is implemented.
Hi Yazoo,
I plan on auditioning the AT-HA5000ANV amp at the AT shop in Paris tomorrow, and also compare with the ATH-W3000ANV on both set-ups to get a feel of the differences.
I love my set-up —vocals and acoustic instruments, especially strings, sound wonderful, but I'm curious to hear how much of an improvement a proper desktop amp gives. Also, I have never heard the W3000ANV yet. So, more info after the weekend!
I tried the Momentum too, and agree with your impressions. I hope to get my hands on a used ATH-ESW11LTD some day, as that might be the closest one can get with a more portable headphone to the W5000.
I realize I didn't write any follow-up here, so here goes: a good desktop amp does make a difference. The HA5000ANV improved on the DX100's amp by quite a bit, giving more air, more authority and energy overall.Thanks Wizard for your comments & glad you love your combo too.
Enjoy your upcoming auditioning hope you could get your love one in the near future.
I'm also curious to hear the difference that a desktop DAC/AMP could deliver, especially the HUGO. I haven't read any negatives (except the physical) about it. And my wallet just keep yelling at me all the time right now :evil:
Happy listening.
Optical out
I would like to know what is "Optical out" on iBasso DX100?
I bought a TOSLINK to Digital Optical cable and plug "TOSLINK" into the "Optical out" but no sound coming out.
May I know how to use the "Optical out"?
Waiting for advice. Thank you.
Hi guys, thank you for your reply. I finally make my optical cable works. It's a piece of plastic causes my optical out not working.
Optic Cable doesn't support 24/192 right?
I could be a burn-in issue, and my comparison with the Momentum is by memory, so take it with a pinch of salt. It's just that I felt that the ESW11LTD's bass wasn't tight enough and a bit exaggerated. The Momentums didn't strike me as bloated at the time when testing with my DX100, but then, I wasn't listening as critically as with the ESW11LTD TBH, since theoretically not in the same class. I thought the Momentum wasn't too bad for the price, but the ESW11LTD definitely were underwhelming for the asked price. I'm pretty sure those demo Momentums had had much more burn-in time than the ESW11LTD, considering the respective locations of the shops they were in, and estimated public affluence, FWIW.But I'm curious that you are disappointed w/ ESW11LTD since quite a few have high praise for its SQ. Especially you mentioned "bloated bass" compared with the Momentum since some users don't like the Momentum because of its "bloated bass". For me, I only feel my Momentum having bloated bass for some recordings with an unamped DX50 and that's why I couldn't listen to unamped DX50 for long period of time. I just feel tired & think it's a DX50 issue.
