Looking at the manual the iDSD nano (black label) has an iEMatch switch that adjusts the amp for headphone sensitivity. Have you tried playing with that? For the headphones it should be set to "Direct". You could also try the line output using an RCA to jack socket cable.

I couldn't agree more... However, the car infotainment system will not recognise a separate dedicated bluetooth device. It'll only look at iphones... An FM transmitter is the only thing left...

The car accepts iPhone connections - no issues there. When trying to connect the A&K to the car, the car info system cannot find the music player when both are in connection mode. The analogue to USB idea I now realise cannot possibly work without a AD converter... and even that would be...

Hi all...! I've given a friend my old A&K Jr DAP for use in his car (A 2015 Honda HR-V). The problem is that the Honda only has USB inputs and not 3.5mm jack AUX socket. The A&K Jr will not work via bluetooth... (The car will not recognise the A&K...) Is there some way of connecting the 3.5mm...

Cherry is a hardwood and quite heavy so I didn't need any additional mass... When you make your stands, make sure you set up the verticals so that they form a structurally strong frame - so that they won't wobble...

I made these stands myself... Solid cherry wood with spikes in the base plus small cones in the top plate. The stands are quite heavy and with the spikes very stable.

Don't worry too much about "ballanced" or standard cables. By definition, headphones are single ended! I have used the Klipsch HP-3 headphones with the standard cable and with an after market ballanced cable connected to the iFi iDSD DAC/Amp and the perceivable difference is an increase in...

It's entirely dependent on what one wants the PC for... In our case, the only use that the MSI Cubi gets used for is MS Word and some browsing. No games, no serious graphics work, no giant spreadsheets... It's simple and compact and especially useful where there is a distinct limitation to...

Spoke to the manufacturer... The "cars" bit was a flummoxed phone autocorrect... The RS bit is the crossover freq...

Hi... Before I sold on my PM-3 I purchased new pads (for exactly the same reason!). I bought these here in Australia... https://www.oppodigital.com.au/collections/accessories/products/oppo-pm3-replacement-earpads I imagine that they'd be available elsewhere as well... They're probably more...

The speakers are quite massive; apparently made from 1 inch thick MDF and are ported underneath (and above the black base. They are definitely not self powered! I use a (self powered) B&W ASW300 sub to complement the bottom end... (Sorry about the misspell...)

Hi all... I have a pair of Theophany Pusche speakers (ex-demo) and I asked for some details of them... The manufacturer replied with... "They go from 31hz to around 27khz -3db. The bass/ midwoofer goes from RS to around 2600 hz. There is a very nice new mod to them that improves the cars...

I fairly sure that the Hidizs DAP uses the Android operating system in the background. If so, then there should be a volume limiter in amongst the Android system settings... (that's if you can get to the OS and its settings...?)

An Android music app "Neutron Pro" (not free but reasonably priced...) has an option to for bit perfect output (amongst many other options...) I've been using it for years on my DAP's...

A great alternative to Poweramp is Neutron (by Neutron Code)! It has an endless list of adjustments for the player as well as for the hardware (DAP, phone, etc.) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neutroncode.mp&hl=en Having used many, many music players over the years, this is...
