I liked the ibasso DC-Elite, it sounds very good both from a smartphone and from a computer (you need to install the ASIO driver).

https://redape.my/products/fiio-lc-re-replacement-cables-2-5mm-4-4mm I recently discovered that ENIGMA+ has the best sound with this cable. FiiO LC-RE

Remember that it takes time and patience for the IMR sound to change and stabilize.

It's all about the tips, filters and cable you use. My setup at the moment is a purple filter for low frequencies, a black filter for high frequencies, modernized AZLA tips and an ARES S 8W cable, or I use CADMUS 8W

I also like these modernized AZLAs)

I connected the PL50 to the R9, an SSD drive was also connected to the R9, and I didn’t experience any problems. I think that the R9 may not have enough ampere power of the PL50 if you connect demanding headphones such as HIFIMAN SUSVARA or similar to it.

I think 5.3Volt is better My power bank produces 5 V / 3A

I connected a longer cable via a TypeC - TypeC adapter, it works.

This is ibasso DC Elite

I recently received this little green miracle, it sounds amazing with Enigmas, I didn’t even expect that it sounds at the level of expensive DAPs. But it needs power from a power bank, with additional power it sounds great.

Tell me, what are these files for? iBasso UAC App for DC Series Version 1.6.8 December 13, 2023 (7.23M) USB-DAC Win OS Driver for DC Elite, November 28, 2023, (4.93M)

Do you mean Pre-OUT?

I just wanted to say that the AKG K1000 is not at all for the R9, the AKG K1000 needs a very powerful amplifier

there are more like that https://www.head-fi.org/threads/introducing-oni-iem-worlds-first-all-mems-transducers-iem.967600/ https://shop.musicteck.com/collections/noble/products/noble-xm-1-new-xmems-driver...

It would be interesting to listen to ENIGMA with ifi Diablo by turning on the mems switch on Diablo.

https://www.soranik.com/product/mems-2/ Bob said that to fully reveal the sound of the mems you need an amplifier and thought for a long time about how to solve this problem and it seems that he found some kind of solution for the IMR IEM. I don't know the details. It would be interesting to...

for this mems you may need an amplifier such as ifi Diablo https://bloomaudio.com/collections/ifi-audio/products/ifi-idsd-diablo-2 https://bloomaudio.com/collections/ifi-audio/products/ifi-idsd-diablo-x-xmems

These headphones are very tight, you need a very powerful amplifier that can drive these headphones)) I have a HE-1000SE and R9 handle them great.

Thanks for the advice, I understand, I need MJ3. I always choose NOS mode on BF 2/64 Flex MENTOR would be too bulky on my desk

Have you tried connecting V222+Bifrost 2/64? I have Bifrost 2/64 + HE-1000SE and I have a choice - V222 or Mjolnir 3, I don’t know what to choose.
