There is a cable supplied to fit the digital input and there is a male USB on the other end, I have bought a OTG lead, female USB to male USB C which I plugged in to my DX170.

Oh bugger. I did ask for a recommendation for a portable amp which I could connect my DX170 to so I could boost the output as I wanted to listen to a pair of Rode NTH 100 and that was what was recommended, looks like I will be sending it back.Thanks for your reply

Hi I bought an IfI idsd nano off ebay which came today but I am having issues playing music from the DX170. When I can get it to work the music sounds speeded up and sort of clipped. The unit works fine if I plug it straight in to my laptop and I listen to anything off a radio program/you tube ...

I have bought an IFI Nano IDSD to accompany my Ibasso DX170 in order to drive a pair of RODE NTH 100 headphones. I cannot get it to work , once plugged in to the DX170 the player just won't play , there is no issue if I disconnect the IDSD and plug IDM's straight in to the DX170. The IDSD...

I have a DX170 and it has plenty of power even on low gain to drive the IEM's i usually use. I purchased a pair of Rode NTH100's to use at home with the DX170 but it doesn't really have sufficient power to get the 100's loud enough. I am thinking of buying a Fiio's K3 as have found one at a...

Fortunately there is a tutorial on you tube as I am sure I would go astray following your instructions. Nothing wrong with your instructions, more like my inability to follow them being a bit of a tech dinosaur . I have never had an iphone or mac , just an ipod as that was the most widely...

Thanks for your reply. Fortunately I haven't bought a lot of music on itunes over the years and it would appear that it is only a few albums that are affected so I do need to resort to your option it won't be too laborious an experience. I did read someone on you tube suggest ripping the music...

Thanks for your reply. I get a notification stating that protected files cannot be converted to other formats . You can only basically play it on an Apple device. The dap I have is android based and I cannot send any music from Itunes to my dap that has this protected status.

I have decided to get my first grown up big boy DAP, I bought an Ibasso DX170. I am loving the sound quality , it's like aural porn lol. I had bought most of my music in the past on I-Tunes, now I am sorting my music out I find that I can't send some of my music to the DX170 as it is protected...

Hi I have ordered a couple of different cables from Aliexpress. Amazing the price range, from £10 upwards, £300 for a cable, that is insane. I have decided to send the AP80 Pro back as I had purchased a second hand cowon plenue D2 before I purchased the AP80. I am liking the sound of that more...

Hi Ah ok, thanks, sometimes a little bit of knowledge can be extremely dangerous lol, first time I have come across the phenomenon of a balanced output and what that meant. Yes, the I.E.M's have detachable cables, I just need to find the correct cable, what exactly am I looking for so I don't...

Hi Thanks for your reply, I got this from Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BHSX8186?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Everything seems ok so I may have got away with it if I potentially put my i.e.m and dap at risk.

The 2.5mm balanced jack to 3.5mm female worked with the sound magic e11c but with the KZ's there seemed to be a bad connection in the left earpiece, I wondered if the adaptor is bad quality as it was £6 for 2 on Amazon. I can only find one of them or I would try the other to see if just one of...

Hi See my response to the previous reply, I seem to have found a solution.

Hi I took the plunge and bought my first pair of i.e.m's as opposed to ear buds which the E12C's are, I bought the KZ ZSN as they were reasonably inexpensive and I could get them the next day on Amazon Prime as well as being able to send them back easily if they didn't prove to be a solution to...
