OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

Finally got my Oppo HA-2 today. I had some issues setting up with my iPad 4th. However, through some trial and error I figured out that you have to switch the iPad off, connect the lightening cable and switch on the HA-2. This powers up the iPad and allows you to listen via the dac. The intial impressions are very positive. I have partnered this with my Grado GR10 in ear phones. The clarity and detail is simply breathtaking!

I don't think so. HA2 is only designed with USB as the only digital input if i remember correctly. With the ibasso you can only use the amp section of the HA2 via Line out


Thanks, that's what I thought, may be unless I use one of these but it would be very clumsy.

anyone got any suggestion for a reasonably priced DAP with compatible USB digital out?

I found using a phone as source is kind of clumsy with incoming calls, etc. Thanks.


Sony walkman A10 series and ZX seriea s well the older F800 and F880 series

Managed to get one of my friends to do a 90° OTG to OTG 6" USB Micro interconnect for me for $20, with DHC copper cables. Im a happy camper. Bye bye stupid cheap arsed OTG adaptor for my HA2. Damn thing drains my phone battery like mad after i lost the original cable.

I remain happy with my HA-2 after two months of daily use.  

One thing I would like to see in a future version: Auto power after a certain period with no signal.  

I find I can leave the amp on and kill the battery - just when I need it.

yesp using a motor driven HDD drains the battery faster than flash memory

My HA-2 Cleared customs today, still in transit


Please. There is no need for you to give us a daily status of where the unit is transition to and from. Can you imagine if everyone shared this kind of useless information on this thread?
That, and what you had for breakfast we don't need to know.
