Thank you all!

Hi All, I have a Fiio K9 Pro ESS that has a 4.4mm Balanced IN. I have an external DAC that also have Balanced XLR OUT connectors. I dont have XLR IN connectors in the Fiio K9 Pro. Yet there is this 4.4mm Balanced IN thing. I saw on eBay that there are 4.4mm to Dual Female XLR cables. Is that...

Well you are wrong regarding the level matching. I have done my process properly with the limitations I have. With the HD 800 S you hear difference as I mentioned above. I was surprised by the deep bass created by the E70V with the A30 Pro. I never heard the HD 800S performs like this before...

I recently got the E70 Velvet. And also the Fiio K9 Pro ESS (x2 ES9038PRO). The E70 velvet is connected via XLR to topping A30 Pro. I am using 5V output from the E70 velvet to the A30 Pro amp. I have a Sennheiser HD800 S balanced headphones. The sound is fantastic and this DAC really make...

Guys - I got by a freak opportunity the FiiO K9 Pro ESS (2xES9380PRO). there was a deal here at a local shop that I could not refuse. I am telling you it's amazing. HD 800 S + this FiiO K9 Pro ESS is out of this world (can go up to 1100mW @ 300 Ohm at the balanced headphone jack, the A30 Pro is...

Hi All, My desktop setup is a Mac mini M1 + DACAMPS such as Fiio K7, Topping EX5, Zen DAC v2 and various iBasso/Fiio dongles that I got over the years. My speakers on the desk are Harman Kardon's SoundStick 4. It's powered 2.1 solution - and it has its own volume control (which is difficult to...

Hmmm... Regarding this one - "However how did you make these comparisons? " Well I just listen to the same content at the volume levels on multiple DAC-AMPs using bit perfect audio players (Audirvana). I do not over sample, or do any weird stuff. Simple playback. You can hear it that the K7 has...

Thanks JSmith, So you are saying this AKM4499EX "Velvet" audio is basically marketing? I wont notice the difference vs my Fiio K7 (x2 AKM4493), Topping EX5 (x2 ES9038Q2M) ? If you are certain - I wont spend the $500... so far I am pleased by my entry level DACs. Even the Zen DAC v2 in GTO...

Will the E70 Velvet work fine with my A30 Pro? is there any benefit in the Fiio 9 AKM as it has its own THX integrated amp? if I already have the A30 pro I should Ignore the Fiio 9 AKM? I am currently using my A30 Pro using XLRs with Topping EX5 (dual ESS DACs) - it sounds great yet I...

Hi All, I am looking for a AKM4499EX DAC (or a DAC+AMP). I already have Topping A30 Pro headphones AMP which I got recently. The K9 AKM is about $100-150$ more expensive than the E70 Velvet (DAC Only). the K9 PRO AKM is way beyond my budget. so I skip it. My headphone is Sennheiser HD 800 S...

I just got my iBasso DC02 - I have firmware 0.07 per Apple System Report (connected to my MacBook Pro via USB-C) - I did not firmware flash from their website. I must say the sound is quite amazing. I tested with B&W P9 (32 ohm) and its quite amazing. I also connected it to my Magni 3 amp and...
