So getting back to awesome Opamps. I ordered the OPA2227 (@crinacle 's favorite) and the OPA2228 because why not.

My main complain about the bluetooth add-on was that it blocks the charging port and analogue out.
But i noticed you can point the bl05 up so it doesn't block those ports anymore.
I'll bet most know this tip but for who who don't, voila.

The mojo is very nice but: with iems and iems/headphones that are closer to neutral sounding. For headphones this is a lot better especially if you mod it (burson). The mojo is great with iems and this is great with both iems and headphones. On the go well the mojo is half the size of this.

How does xDuuo 5 plus compare to ifi micro black label? I am mainly wandering about sound quality as micro easily wins in functionality.

Bought in December, dead today, laptop won’t recognize and won’t hold a charge...contacting the seller to see if I can get a replacement. Bummer!! How much does it cost to send back to China?

xduoo xd05 or fio e12 (or a5) for a fostex th 900 in sedentary listening. which will have the most impact in the grave your opinion thank you

I really like the Xduo, but it died At about 6 months so not sure if another option would be better, fyi. Never had an issue with anything Fiio.

I was using a Xduoo XD-05plus for 6 to 8 months (not intensively and only at home) .... and now little by little it's totally unusable => scratching a lot when touching the volume knob and the 6.5mm plug almost dead with impaired balance 90% of the time now.

I would consider it as a typical low-cost Chinese made... looks nice on paper, seems to do the job rather well for a while, but with such cheap components it's getting "destroyed" in a really short time in real life home use.

Sounds bad , in my case I have been using it on the go for over 7 months with no problems.

6 months of use, that's real bad.

How about claiming for warranty? Have you tried? Would they replace the bad unit or anything?

 

[DJ LP]

Yes Ive swapped op amps, went from the TI stock to a Muse 02. The difference is not subtle to me. VERY easy to hear with good gear. Highly recommended imo.

I just purchased the unit and I was wondering what kind of op amps can I purchase for it?

 

[DJ LP]

My top picks would be the Muses02 and the Burson v5i although the stock setup is pretty darned good to begin with. I tried the vaunted OPA627s and really didn't think they were any better than the stock or if they were, it certainly wasn't enough to justify the spend.

What's the difference in sound signatures?
