Guys,
 
Does someone know the best settings of Onkyo HF Player when I want to play DSD with my HA-2?
Or is there maybe a website with a tutorial or something?
 
Thanks!

I've been playing with a variety of audio devices with the HA-2, 

iPod Classic via LOD and portable HP's currently the B&W P5 (1st and 2nd version) and Senns PX100
A sweet upgrade over the baseline iPod output, and much closer to the sound quality of the ALO Audio MKll and MK3B+ than the FiiO E11.

Paired with the same HP's and the line out from the Astell&Kern AK100ll one thing is clear, turn off the WiFi on the AK, this amp is SENSITIVE.
The AK100ll has output power and and a beautiful DAC, but the HA-2 fleshes out the sonic quality without adding color.

The iPhone 6 streaming is fine but strongly recommend shutting down any open apps and WiFi

Can you please elaborate a little more? Specifically I'm interested to know which DAC section you prefer, which amp section sounds better to you or perhaps using the DAC output of one device to feed the amp section of the other is the ultimate solution?
So many options and a lot of testing (and volume matching for each comparison) I realize but it would be really nice to know

Update on my HA-2 adventure.
 
USB hub kind of works. It'll let me charge the HA-2 while using it, but it charges it at a slower rate than the OTG Y-cable and the host device receives zero power.
 
So far an OTG Y-cable seems to be the ticket. It lets me charge the HA-2 while using it and slightly charges the host device (if the Android Kernel allows it).
 
Equipment I'm referring to:
Nexus 10 (Rooted, barely charged by the Y-cable)
Samsung Note 4 (Not Rooted, not charged by the Y-cable)
Oppo HA-2
USB Hub - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TPMEOYM
OTG Y-Cable - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAC1ZW
 
Apps I've used to measure charging rates:
Ampere - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere
Battery Monitor Widget - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
 
Even while using the OTG Y-cable I'm losing about 15% of battery an hour on the Nexus 10. So I'm still looking for a good way to charge it while using it. I might end up just having to switch over to analog (headphone jack) when the battery gets too low. I've ordered a POGO cable that I'm hoping might solve the issue.

Sorry for asking a dumb question: Is there any chance to buy thing device in Austria or Germany. (i have an address in both countries). 

I am having difficulties finding a dealer who ships it to Austria or Germany. 

 
Thanks for help!

HA-2 working on Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10. Jriver + 356GB of music on external 1TB drive. Brought all the pieces while chilling in SF for a few days. Was hoping it would work. Happy. May not leave hotel room. Getting hungry though.

You can buy direct from Oppo Digital using the offline order form.

https://www.oppodigital.com/OPPO-Offline-OrderForm.aspx

Just make sure you understand the terms and conditions for international purchases before you order. Basically you cover import fees (taxes, duties, customs, etc.,) and shipping for warranty service.

Well, i tried your link, but i am still not confident somehow.
 
=> Do i really have to print that out, fill it in by hand and send that as a letter to OPPO?
=> Why is there no HA-2 on the Offline Order Form? (see screenshots)
=> Why am i not able to print it out? (see screenshots)
 
 

 

 

 
That black thing in the PDF is not blanked out by me.

I have no idea. That's the link that HasturTheYellow, an Oppo Digital rep on these forums, has posted for our international brethren. Maybe contact him through PM and he can help you, or shoot Oppo Digital customer service an e-mail (they are very helpful). Alternatively here are the links for purchasing in Germany from OppoDigital.co.uk but from what I've read the dealers like to price gouge over there.

Thanks for the information, i'll drop him a line.
Year, i'd rather import it myself; the import taxes in Liechtenstein are so low anyway...
Imported is 272€ without shipping. Buying directly from Germany is 400€ without shipping. That's crazy! 

 
 
kind regards

Anybody using this with the Galaxy S5 running Android 5.0? Just seeking confirmation that it will actually work before purchasing.
