    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I had this issue with my iBasso DX150. Instead of trying to push it deeper or pull it out, I used a small flat head screwdriver and pushed the SD card up and down to jiggle it back into the push-out mechanism. Worked better than I thought, hope it works for the R3 as well. Quick question from...

    iBasso DX150. Dual dacs and interchangeable AMPs. **NEW Firmware that supports AMP9! ** New FIRMWARE 1.05 Dec 30.

    I TOTALLY forgot that the DX150 came with a coaxial cable! Thanks for reminding me, I went through my DX150 box to salvage the coaxial cable I stored because I thought I would never use it haha

    iBasso DX150. Dual dacs and interchangeable AMPs. **NEW Firmware that supports AMP9! ** New FIRMWARE 1.05 Dec 30.

    I'm a bit confused, especially the last part. I am trying to use my DX150 as a source of music to send data to a desktop amp with USB-B, coaxial, and optical digital inputs. In this case, would I use the USB-C of my DX150 or the line out? (or would either work?)

    Oh, I was unaware I can't use the DX150's USB C as digital out, guess it's not possible to test any DACs then :frowning: Thanks!

    iBasso DX150. Dual dacs and interchangeable AMPs. **NEW Firmware that supports AMP9! ** New FIRMWARE 1.05 Dec 30.

    Quick question regarding the DX150. The other day, I wanted to test out some dac/amps and headphones using my DX150 as source. I connected my DX150 to the dac/amp via USB-C⇒USB-B but the DX150 did not output anything to the dac/amp. Is it even possible to connect the DX150 to a desktop dac/amp...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Thank you for the input. Yep, definitely understand the fact that the HD800S are relatively picky in terms of source/the entire line up from source to HD800S. I did look for a used HDVA600 and HDVD800 as well but could not find any locally =/ Noted on the Jotunheim, I read comments that since...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    My power strip has 4 outlets so no issue there, and I think it can withstand up to 125V so should have no issue. Also found another review in the $35 transformer that states it works without issue with the Valhalla 2; I'm surprised so many people are buying these transformers just for Schiit...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    I actually found a step-up transformer (1 input and output, 100V⇒120V) for around 30 USD and one of the reviews mentions that it works with the Magni 3. If I get a Bifrost + Valhalla, would I need to get 2 of these transformers or can I connect a power strip to the transformer and connect the...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Amazon Japan has it up for 27,807 JPY which is around 250 USD =/ Just to confirm, seems like this transformer converts between 100V and 120V (both ways), no issues with running the 115V Schiit products?

    Thanks for the share! That is quite an expensive converter though, an additional $250...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Mjolnir and Gungnir would be out of budget, but as you mentioned, I think the Jotunheim or Bifrost + Valhalla combo should suffice my needs. Nope, I have yet to get the HD800S and was not aware of the voucher, thanks for this heads up! I assume you use the HD800S with the balanced XLR? Thanks...

    AMP/DAC Combination for HD800S (Schiit, Fostex, Marantz, TEAC)

    Hi all, Been a while since I came to this section in headfi, as I was quite content with what I have. However, I believe I have contracted the all to familiar "upgradetitus", and this time its a severe case. I am now looking for what will probably be my end game setup (or at least a long term...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    e-earphone, it's one of the bigger audio shops in Japan. They had a demo R3 and R6 when it came out so pretty sure they will have the R3 Pro as well.

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Ah I also considered the HIDIZ AP80 Pro, but after seeing the AP80, it's a bit too small for my liking. The build is really nice though, just want a bigger screen. Nope, trying to sell my DX150 directly to the shop that I plan to buy my R3 Pro. I can probably get a bit more out of it if I put...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Yea same here, I'm waiting to sell my DX150 first, or at least take a listen to an R3 Pro. Seems like there are no shops that currently have it up on display =/ I'm currently also looking at the Fiio M9; main reason being that my FIBAE ME uses 2.5mm and I would prefer not to recable. I can't...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Hm, guess I'll check all of my album art and see if any of them exceed 432kB. Pretty sure I don't have any art that exceeds 1600x1600. Ugh I'm really torn on whether I should sell off my DX150 and go for the R3 Pro. I haven't had a chance to check out the R3 Pro first hand, but did play around...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Thanks for the input. I see, so the album art display isn't as smooth as the R6. Guess I can't put it to the same standard since the R6 has 3GB RAM. On the other hand, the DX150 also has some lag so I'm sort of used to it. The album art limitation is file size or resolution? I might have some...

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    I'm actually in the exact same boat; currently own a DX150 (Amp 6) and mainly use it with my CA FIBAE ME (2.5mm Bal) and V-MODA M100, but am looking to go a bit more portable. Have you already pulled the trigger on the R3 Pro? If yes, how do you like it compared to the DX150? To those who own...

    New V Moda Crossfade M100 Master

    Yep, that's how I adjusted my M80s as well. I figured if they were too tight, I might need to adjust for a longer period of time so would just keep them on a sizable box, I guess we'll see once they arrive.

    New V Moda Crossfade M100 Master

    Noted, I'll go ahead and get the M100 Master without the XL pads for now, and if they feel a bit uncomfortable, I'll try to clamp them over a sizable box for a night or two to ease the tension.

    New V Moda Crossfade M100 Master

    Thanks for the quick reply, saw your post on pg.7 but must have missed the one above. If the Master pads are light years better than the M100 but you can only listen to them for 1~2 hours, I guess the M100 pads are pretty bad for long usage. I tried them out quite a while ago for 5~10 minutes...

    New V Moda Crossfade M100 Master

    Currently planning to use the Immortal Life Program with my M80s to get a pair of M100 or M100 Master, leaning towards the latter at the moment. I have read countless comments on M100 pads being uncomfortable and requiring the XL pads if you want to keep them on for 1+ hours, but do the Master...

    iBasso DX150. Dual dacs and interchangeable AMPs. **NEW Firmware that supports AMP9! ** New FIRMWARE 1.05 Dec 30.

    I see, so there's no way to hide them from any of the desktops, just relocate them another desktop page... Thanks for the tip.
