Guys how does the HA2SE pair with IE800? Will be using my Iphone 7 Plus.
 
Cheers

I had the first iteration and thinking about picking up the SE to go with my PM3s. I have the Mojo but I really dont like the synergy of the Mojo/PM3s.

If using the same source (such as Tidal) is there any noticeable quality between using Oppo via an iDevice, android or pc? Which one sounds best?

For those who has an ipod classic I both this connector for $3.50 and work perfect!

I can't claim to have enough money to try out all kinds of boutique DACs, so I reached way down into my meager pocket book and purchased one of these HA-2SEs.
 
It's simply awesome. Yesterday I threw the following at it:
 
Stereo
    24BIT/352.8kHz
    24BIT/192kHz
    24BIT/96kHz
 
5.1 Surround
    24BIT/96kHz
 
5.1 Surround
    DSD 64 2.8224Mbit/s
 
Stereo DSD
    256 11.2896Mbit/s
    128 5.6448Mbit/s
 
Stereo DSD 64
    2.8224Mbit/s    
 
It played everything and played it well. I was able to hear the difference between hires and cd quality for the first time in the form of better voice and instrument separation.
 
The hybrid AB amp sounds really great, and the gain and base-boost buttons aren't just for marketing: they can be used to good effect. I also find the on/off click potentiometer very quiet, smooth, and satisfying. Oh, and did I mention the line output . . . you can feed your amp with this thing and get awesome tone at home. It detects line-out and disables its own volume control - pure DAC and no guff!
 
Not bad for a portable device that doubles as a charging battery for your android or iPhone.
 
I think if I return it I will get huge regrets. There may be better, but this suffices for me as I couldn't tell 'better' anyways.

I just bought one today and hopefully have it early next week.

 

[AudioJimmy]

I also bought one last week. Should arrive beginning of next week.
I will use it at work. I'm sure it will enhance the the SQ of my phone. (used for Deezer)
Though I'm not sure if it will do any improvement to the sound when connected to the FiiO X3 2nd gen...
Does anyone have any experience with the HA-2 and the X3?

 

[Roen]

If only they had balanced headphone out......I'd be all over this.

 

[howdy]

Are you saying Balanced out into another amp or straight balanced out to a headphone?

[mitsu763]

I've had my HA-2SE for a while now and love it. Waiting on my AEON to arrive and hoping it has enough juice to make them sing.

 

[SeraphicWings]

Been having the HA2-SE for 6 months (since november). It really boosts all of my Japanese Hi-res music to another level of awesome

By the way, can anyone confirm the signal dropout issue in iOS 10.3 been resolved yet?

Balanced to headphone.

I went with a LH Labs GO2PRO because of that, and I don't regret paying more for balanced output.

Still a problem unfortunately.

 

[claud W]

Does this DAC/Amp have enough power to drive HD 600, Fostex Massdrop, Mr. Speakers Ether, in a decent fashion or do I need to get Audaze Sine headphones?

 

[grig]

For those with the Ha 2 SE when u use you're oppo as a DAC on you're PC/MAC the Driver description is OPPO HA2-USB AUDIO or OPPO HA2 SE-USB Audio ?
