Have there been any further reports of RF noise/intereference issues with DX160? I remember reading about this in the thread a while back from several people and was immediately turned off since I had a similar issue with the R6Pro. My desk is right next to my router so its really a non-starter if there is any audible interference. Thanks.

So what is my favorite “Modifications” that I love from Dx160 ? Well...eliminating that Ribbon cables and upgrades into Mundorf Silver-Gold wires.

You will see that I broke the Antenna completely in one of those pictures :wink:

You will see the Terminations of the 4.4mm marked down too!! If you wanted to perform the same modifications

Great mod... I was thinking about to do the same. Although I don't thought it will improve sound. But it does so that's great to hear.

I am waiting for my new antenna and Opamps upgrade to arrive.

Now someone mentioned difficulties with the bluetooth before with Dx160. I have issues trying to connect a headphone to it. I turned on Bluetooth and search but cannot find the headphone. I also am not able to connect the bluetooth properly to my Tesla 3 computer to play music. I am not even sure if it is actually possible. Any suggestion?

Set the Bluetooth headphone in search mode or whatever it's called and initiate the connection from the DX160. I find it easier to connect that way. But on some devices like my smart TV, DX160 will not connect as mentioned due to the connection method that requires confirmation of a 4 digit code.TV never shows it.so I gave up on that.

Hi Guys
I have the 2019 version of DX160 and I updated the latest firmware just now from WiFi.
The version is 1.05.162
My IEM is Fiio F9 Pro using balanced cable (stock) and the 2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter cable from Fiio itself.
Now after the firmware update, the volume from 4.4mm balanced is very very low. Setting it to high gain also yields low volume. Even at 85 volume its too less.
The 3.5mm output sounds fine with my M50x
Can anyone suggest?

Mine works fine even after the update. Im using both SE and Balanced. Have you tried doing a factory reset or reinstalltion of the updated firmware?

No mate, I have not performed factory reset after the firmware update. Do I need to do that?



Edit : Iam seeing some “LO” on the upper part of screen(near WIFi, battery status and clock area), it was not there before . What is it for?

LO is line out ... perhaps it was somehow engaged by mistake. Try unselecting LO to PO (phone out)
