i have experiences only with the Diana MR and its very amazing pairing.. actually on my end game wish list.. i think from the sound signatures it will also be great for the DZ..Does anyone have any experience and/or thoughts on pairing the PB5 with the Abyss Diana DZ?

Wondering if I'd even benefit adding the PB5 to my phone, D16 stack. Considering how easy the SR3 is to drive. But then again, one day upgrading the headphones might not be a bad idea to get the PB5 to future proof. Caldara is looking good to upgrade one day

The PB5 adds a nice dimension to the sound. Still, imo, the best semi portable amp on the market.Wondering if I'd even benefit adding the PB5 to my phone, D16 stack.

Are you able to expand on that? A larger soundstage would be good. The D16 is quite intimate.

The PB5 is a very powerful amplifier. i wouldnt double amplify at all hereHi, Has anybody tried or confirmed if PB5 can be used in desktop chain before desktop amp to flavor the sound signature?
As my PB5 is getting older and battery life getting shorter, i wonder are anyone here using the pb5 with the power cable plugged in? I have tried it and it works but i dont know if its save for extended period.

I dont use with power plugged in. I would contact Ibasso and Paul to buy the packs and replace them. It is easily replaceableAs my PB5 is getting older and battery life getting shorter, i wonder are anyone here using the pb5 with the power cable plugged in?

For now, I think i will use the chargers only after the battery indicator is blinking to prevent overcharging too much. Maybe after a year or so i will look for the replaceable battery..I do all the tie. No issues.
Thank you for the replies..
