does it change the sound signature? of the DAC?

Not at all.

nice. tq sifu!

recieved mine this morning, what i can conclude abt this gem;

ud100>hrt music streamer ii

Are you sure about this? I am about to purchase HRT Music Streamer II. How is it better?

Comparison review please.

thats shocking, since i put my highest bet on HRT MS2 performance
oh well, listening is believing, i guess

i got the DAC, next time i can hand it over to you for testing if you want.

That'd be cool.

ok i'll put up this way, headfonia said that ms2 sound quality are similar to ms2+ which is 80%-90% of similarity.

While ms2+ and dacport lx are comparable to each other, its all about your preferences, if you fancy analogue sound, you take ms2+, if you fancy neutral and transparency sound, you take dacport lx.

Futhermore, Clieos said that he can't decide which is better between the ud100 and odac. He also said that, ud100 may slightly better than the odac.

Meanwhile, many audiophiles said that dacport lx is slightly better than odac. Fyi, Odac and dacport lx share the same sound characteristic.

For that we can conclude;

1.Dacport lx or hrt ms2+
2.Odac or ud100
3.hrt ms2

I see, thanks. What about the sound signature? More towards HRT MS2 or LX?

Anyways, already ordered one unit for myself.

More photos from oversea buyer :

probably couldn't see because of the darkness and image quality (lol plebian cameraphone)
the DAC is in the top right corner.



yep, that's a JVC HA-S500

Advice to you, change to Audio Technica ESW9 velour pads or Senn HD25 velour pads for upgraded sound quality and comfort

My own S500 driver is now transplanted in to a full sized headphone body. Soundstage to the moon.....

Ok now back to topic... the DAC

You've read my mind brother. Just now I was talking with my friend about the soundstage for these cans. I wondered why it was feeling like its 'oppressed' or something. Turns out its normal for closed cups (these are my first for good quality headphones).

I should listen to yours some time. And velour pads are hard to find if not imported, and would take some more $$

Haha. But paired with the DAC it sounds phenomenal even without amping. In fact, I think no amping is needed, right now I'm even playing on 1/3rd or 2/5th of volume. 50% volume is max for my ears.

Kudos for chchyong89 for developing this.

Glad that you love it But loudness is another thing, once you get an proper amp you will

http://www.head-fi.org/t/626632/tiny-dac-b...s-ud100-vs-odac

so in conclusion it is better than the PCM2704 usb dac that is also naked ?

No please stop poisoning my wallet. Apologize to my wallet nao!

Lol.

Never listened to that particular USB DAC and thus can't conclude anything from it.

Many thanks to ClieOS for his kind words


Sorry boss
