[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
This would be nice but we need a solution for the product we already bought :-) Is this doable with firmware update? If not a timer, maybe a wait to power down unit, like holding down both keys. I don't like having to unplug after every listening session, which may last any from a few minutes...- debart

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
Hi all, I bought this cable https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806009738918.html when I was a babe in the woods and needed a balanced cable for my hifiman edition XS because I had a dongle DAC whose balanced out gave >1.5x power, so naturally I wanted to run balance. In case you don't want to...- debart

[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
Yeah mine is US version with Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G I have a dumb question: is the little cable that comes in the package just a regular USB-C to USB-C cable or is it some kind of special cable?- debart

S5e has 7040mah. Not...- debart

[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
Anyone else gets sound drop outs on Samsung Galaxy devices? I have a S21+ phone (Android 14) and S5e tablet (Android 11). During playback (exclusive USB mode, desktop mode off, light off), I get periodic sound drop outs, almost like the device can't keep up with the DAC or vice versa. This...- debart

[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
I'm using the KA13 on both mobile and desktop. Would I benefit getting something like the fiio K11 (desktop dac/amp all in one)? (this is for an edition XS but I may get other headphones down the line) I'm getting plenty of volume out of the KA13 even with desktop mode disabled. OTOH, I get...- debart

Hifiman Ananda Stealth Magnet Version
by any chance has someone here heard both the v2 and v3 Ananda? I have the v2 and it is a little bright for me.Some female vocalists like Eva Cassidy is almost painful to listen to. I wonder how the tuning on v3 is. v3 is also 40g lighter- debart

Hifiman Edition XS Launched
Just got the XS refurb for $280. Almost too good to pass up. Liking it so far except for the headband. Not sure if it's going to bother me long term. Has anyone modded it with a strap like this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1548705110/hifiman-comfort-strap How happy are you with the result...- debart

[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
KA13 gets louder with desktop mode on even running off a phone, and I expect KA17 to do the same. It may not get you the max 650mw+650mw, but it will get you more than 270mw+270mw (desktop mode off) . I suspect to get the max, you'll need auxiliary power or running off a desktop. We'll need...- debart

If using with a desktop (ie, power consumption is not a concern), what are pros and cons of turning on desktop mode if you already get plenty volume with it off?- debart

[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
The fc4 which is supposed to have around 300mw @32ohms balanced seems more than enough for Anandas, so what headphones would need what the KA13 has?- debart

[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
I see the hiby fc4 mentioned in this thread. I'm auditioning the fc4 and the KA13 and can't decide which one I should keep. The price difference I paid was $7 so negligible. Both are updated to latest fw. fc4 has MQA but I disable it anyway so I can EQ. On paper, the KA13 seems better. Newer...- debart

What next, after Grado SR60
Hi So I've had my SR60 for a while now. I'm not a big audiophile and overall I'm quite happy with these. However, I don't like how they make my ears hot. Also, the Y cable is kind of a pain. I'd prefer a single wire. I'm looking for something that is more comfy / ergonomic and provides a...- debart

Please recommend Grado 60 alternative.
I enjoy mine except for the fact the over the ear gets really warm and makes my head sweat :) Pls recommend one, may be circumaural, at same price range and similar performance. Hopefully a bit better ergonomic. Edit: I have a big head and I find a lot of phones are too small and tight. With...- debart
