amazing track. Playing with yamaha pro 500 and the bass on the headphones is like never heard before. Will take all headphones through this - will see which ones will survive. Currently playing out of the headphone out of mac pro.

Torq - there is an issue in El Capitan because of which many DACs have started experiencing issues. My iDSD nano has also started doing the same. Schitt fulla works perfectly fine. However with iDSD nano there are dropouts, or at times complete black out. I pull out the USB and insert again...

No, I don't find it strange, but interesting. With all the hype around chord mojo, the dragon fly being compared to it is interesting. More interesting because I am myself making up my mind for Mojo, and here comes a new product which is cheaper, easier to carry around, and possibly better too...

Interesting that you prefer dragon fly over mojo! A little detailed comparison will help.  @Torq  - can you please share your experience to compare between the two?

Hi, Can anyone please help me with authorized dealer in Delhi/ NCR in India?  I want to have a demo and purchase it.    regards

no, but a powered usb hub means no more portable :( I will try these two options a. dac into powered hub, and hub into ipad b. a y-cable with one going into ipad and another into powered hub. Can either be used or is there a way to find out which one is power and which one is data? Though...

After reading the compatibility list, I purchased a nuforce udac to use with ipad2 (the list is about ipad though) - purchased the CCK but it gives error "Cannot use device" - the connected usb device requires too much power. Blue light on nuforce lights up but no sound as ipad is not willing...

I tried searching the forum, but seems no one has yet done a detailed comparison of pb2 and sr71b. Eagerly looking forward for the same.   

did some reading - the einar site doesn't open, and in another thread, a person tells his horrific experience with the company, 

Thanks. have started a thread here - http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/538209/balanced-desktop-amps-vs-balanced-portable-amps#post_7256248 Lot of views but no comments. Quote:

Balanced portable amps are available at $325 and $229 [from ibasso]. Are there any comparable or better desktop balanced amps available in this price range? Little dot has one - http://www.littledot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=822&sid=032d23784a516ca3f8820317bb2d3dd9 Are there any more in this...

hrt istreamer - it is portable but costs $199. 

actually I meant in the price range of $325 - which is PB2, and PB1 is even lesser. Sorry for not being clear. I meant these [PB1/ PB2], and not sr71b as it is $650. I am actually torn between spending $325 on a balanced portable, or look for a balanced desktop amp, that is in this price...

is there any desktop amp in this price range, balanced or se, that can compete with these new powerful portables?

anyone using itunes with win 7? What settings?

any comparison with the nuforce hd? http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/iconhd/index.php I understand that d6 has better portability due to a battery, but for office desktop use, both qualify. On the sq alone (for some iems as well as power hungry phones) how do they compare?

looks great. how does it sound?

it runs on battery and not on usb power.   Correction - see the post below.

how do you connect your headphones to speaker amp's speaker terminals? Is it safe to do so? Pardon my ignorance. 

No problem Skylab. I come back to this thread many times as this is a wonderful thread. Since D6 is new, and quite close to my requirements functionally, I would have loved your opinion on it.   Quote:

d6 is impressive as it gives good all in one box solution for laptop users - usb dac, line in for using with tablet or iphone, and high power. Wondering what are the rival products and how does it fair against them. DACPort is one. Others in the same price range?  

hi Skylab - any impressions of ibasso d6?

Is the one shown here the older one or latest one?   regards   Quote:

today is 11th and no update.

since there are so many products, the web site is so confusing [for noobs like me, of course]. Same for RSA. There are so many amps out there you just can't figure out which one to buy as per your needs. If they can make a simple wizard that asks users what their headphones are, what their...
