V5i-D works very well with high gain too, I have used it.I started rolling multiple opamps and still find that the burson v5i is the most musical compared to OPA1692 or the OPA2209.
OPA1692 is indeed detailed but for my Beyerdynamics T1 the sub bass is uncontrolled and the treble is a tiny bit sibilant.
The OPA 2209 sound is a bit more detailed than the burson v5i but it lacks the mid bass of the burson.
I wish that with the burson v5i I could use the bass boost for the high gain on the Xduoo. It only works if low gain or mid gain is activated, as soon as i put it in high gain, "PROTECT" mode is triggered.
I will put burson v5i on Ebay for sale , maybe some one else has more luck with it. Maybe it is just my Xduoo that does this. If you are in Canada or the US and want to buy the burson v5i send me a PM and maybe you can get a better deal than buying it from burson and not wait for 2 weeks.
Or do you mean you can't use bass boost in high gain mode with V5i-D?
What I normally do is power on in low gain mode, once itbis ready for playback switch to high gain mode. If you power on in high gain mode it might never click.
