I forget to add that, as I understand it, volume does not control output power. Otherwise there would be no need to adjust gain.

Well, I gotta think there’s a difference between iems that are easy to drive and hard. And I take this to mean optimal or intended performance per manufacturer tuning. Maybe it comes down to listener preference. Some of my sets sound better to me at low gain especially as concerns nuances and...

I take it to mean short stemmed and wide barreled

Anyone know what M6U balanced output is for low, medium and high gain respectively?

Anyone else concerned balanced output, even low gain, will be too much power for their iems?

Stubby nozzles finally ruined Oriolus Isa for me which, otherwise, was perhaps the sweetest sounding iem I ever had (on those rare occasions when I could finagle fit). By ‘sweet’ I literally mean exactly that. And I tried everything. Stubby nozzles keep me away from Oriolus entirely—a shame...

Yeah that makes sense!

Hello Hive Mind! Please remind me: Does it violate some law of electrical circuitry to use an adapter to go from 4.4 to 3.5? So, the adapter would be 4.4 female & 3.5 male. I think that’s clearly, no? Thanks

Spinfit Omni tips sounding to me like a worthy match for PM. Deep insertion, and a wider aperture than Final tips. Experimenting with the sound

Are there low, med and hi settings for gain? Thanks

Hi. What do you mean by “digital noise infiltration”?

Also wondering how sound signature of dx180 will compare with Shanling M6U which I own and quite like? Wanting a less warm, more neutral source so I ordered dx180. It was either this or Hiby R6 III. I’d rather support ibasso especially with years of Hiby dap QC issues, eg swollen batteries...

How important is it to you that volume adjustment is digital not analogue?

Anyone know if volume adjustment is digital or analog?

Preorder up on Bloom

@Ben86 thanks for the updates

Oh and I think PM may also have wider stage, better separation. Sultan is my favorite Noble but was too expensive for me to keep. I’ve owned five Nobles. Seems like the more revealing an iem is, the more expensive, and the more I’m able to narrowly nitpick segments of freq response I don’t...

Not intentionally I haven’t. But I know dx2 well enough, at least with my Shanling M6U, to understand there not very similar. The dx2 has the classic Noble W signature which I love. Dita PM may be a W of sorts, I don’t know, but if it is, it’s definitely not a Noble version of such. Dx2 is...

Spooky

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. Report like this gives me jitters. I must concur with previous post that identified Final tips as best match with DPM. I tried a variety of alternative tips with wider apertures. They tended to increase the width of the sound field but at expense of definition. I’ve...

Yeah it’s an exciting release but the days of spending that on portable audio gear are over for me. Bought Quattro though. Wanting a more neutral dap to enjoy it more. Shanling M6U warms up everything which Quattro doesn’t need. But Dita Project M pairs wonderfully

Yes. Volume is not synonymous with gain. Volume only cannot provide power necessary to optimally drive some iems/hps.

Interested in this device and also identify with what qualities you’re looking for in the next dap. I have M6U too. Remember what the output is for M6U balanced on medium gain? I think it’s greater than M5U. The 280mW balanced medium gain on M5U doesn’t seem like enough. Whereas hi gain is...

Purchased from your excellent business, btw. Cheers

Ordered a set of these notwithstanding my sensitivity to sharp treble. Reports on sound signature promise to round out my small collection and I think it may be optimal for jazz. Hoping warm-source pairing of my M6U, its high output, plus some “burn in” will compensate for any perceived treble...
