Good points there. I bought my pha-3 used and it was less than $300 and the previous owner had already changed the battery. I too have the pha-2a which I bought used too but it died on me when I used quick charger. Bummer, I sent it to a local Sony service center and it cost me around $250 to...

I have the wm1a and pha-3 plus other DAPs. To me, wm1a is a little underpowered but I don't use it with the pha-3. It's important to match the proper iem with the wm1a...Right now I'm enjoying kz zs10 pro with it. Funny that with other DAPs, I don't enjoy the kz but with the wm1a it is ok. Back...

Unfortunately, in my case...can't turn it on when I'm not using it. My case is when I listen to music, it'll be like less than an hour...rarely more than 1 hour and when I stopped listening, all audio gears are off. I do enjoy the SA1 at normal gain and currently pairing it with the Gustard P26...

I updated without any problem but after updating and opening the Hiby app, the device suddenly rebooted itself and this image came on the R5 I restarted the device by holding the on/off button (waited slightly longer than usual) and when it booted back, everything was ok. Opened Hiby Music App...

I have the original R5, will enable the wifi and check if update is available :)

I'm enjoying mine with SMSL M400. In this setup, I'm using balanced mode between dac and amp, moondrop blessing 2 via xlr, low gain and I'm getting good volume at 35. Also testing the m400 via iis cable (shanling) and using smsl po100 digital converter to convert usb to iis. In the picture is...

I have this to convert wm-port to line out on my NW-A45. Not sure if it will work with A55

I reckon u need a cable similar to this. Good luck

If he is using the R6 2020 version, this has LO for both 4.4mm and 3.5mm, otherwise the original R6 has line out through the 3.5mm jack only if I'm not mistaken. Using the LO does not do double amplification as the voltage out of LO is suitable for input to an amp.

I think he wants to use the SIngxer and using the Hiby R6 as transporter or device for playing music

I have a question about power output of wm1a after fw mod. I'm using the walkman one fw that convert the wm1a into wm1z (showing that in the about info). I'm noticing that power output when I'm using either 4.4mm and 3.5mm is the same ie when I'm using the same iem but with different terminating...

Wow, you got it at an incredible price!! What do you mean by AC version?

Thanks to google translate :)

Not sure what the fusse is all about :)

To those that seem to be getting the android OS of Sony DAPs, might want to checkout Hiby M300 as this is too an android OS based DAP. https://store.hiby.com/products/hiby-digital-m300

I hope you @punkedrock get this yellow fixed and when you play the Blue and Yellow song, you'll be satisfied :gs1000smile:

How many band does the PEQ have, thanks.

The Chord Mojo output voltage used in DAC mode is 3v which is more than the normal 2v. I suppose the Mojo 2 is the same. This higher than usual output voltage gives more headroom to any amp. The Gustard P26 is ok. It has a total of 12db gain (6db in and 6db out) but I only use 6db input and set...

I pair this amp with a Gustard P26 preamp to get more headroom. I hate the SA-1 gain switches at the bottom. I set the gain switches to low and the volume to max. I'm happy to be using only the preamp's volume to control the sound. The DACs that are paired with the preamp are the Gustard X16...

So, this handbook is for the SA-1 v2 ?

So, gain selector is still the original implementation ie at the bottom of the unit.

Not really into opening the cover (could invalidate the warranty). Now if there is a selector on the front/back panel for the mod, this would be better. :gs1000smile:

From the audiophonics page... "To adapt to all types of headphones, whether high-sensitivity or high-impedance models, the SA-1 V2 offers gain selection (low or high) via a bipolar switch on the front panel." If there is a gain selector on the front panel, instead of the 4 gain switches at the...

Sorry for you, if the manual is correct, this means that the unit has protection or circuit failure and I suspect it is the latter. :triportsad:
