Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.

Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

Right ear keeps cutting out
So I have a PC38x headset that I bought a few years back. I moved away from home for work, and left the headset there with my gaming PC. I used it maybe 2 or 3 times before I left, and it always had the problem of it cutting out in my right ear phone. It makes like a crackling noise like something is loose, and then cuts out the audio entirely. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, but inevitably cuts out on the right side again. I am wondering if there is a fix? Or could I be shipped a new one?

Please suggest headphones for me.
Please someone here help buy a headphone for my use case- listen mostly Indian music ( old and new Bollywood songs ) . play them on my iPhone. So need to be wireless. must be light and comfortable for small ears and 3-4 hours of listening. noise canceling is not important. budget is around $150. i am not audiophile by any means and do not understand much of the jargon. Just want something that sounds good and is comfortable on my ears while I work from home. thank you all.

E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

The kind of problems that would occur only with specific digital formats are probably all things that would be handled internally by the digital logic in the dac chip or the usb interface chip. Given how widely used these chips are such a problem would have to be fairly subtle not to be quickly detected and fixed by the chipmakers.
It's just a simple test of the device., A little battery for a decent review. It seems maybe more worthwhile then just sampling at one format, and being in the dark about the others..,
"The kind of problems that would occur only with specific digital formats are probably all things that would be handled internally by the digital logic in the dac chip or the usb interface chip. Given how widely used these chips are such a problem would have to be fairly subtle not to be quickly detected and fixed by the chipmakers. " Ohh i must say i find thats not a very true statement. I've found the measurements for devices at various sample formats to be usually very different. This is the sort of common review that used to be done oncee, testing at various sample formats, multi-bit dacs. See, for a guy right, it's important probably to know how one device performs at various formats, since digital audio is, on a contemporary system; being reproduced at different formats., So to be useful, i'd need to know how the device handles native 44.1khz16bit compared to my discrete 16bit dacs already in implementation, before i consider wanting the device myself, for system implementation., if it doesn't beat my current dacs, what interest would i have for implementation? Degraded performance? No, i need to know that... before i pay, And you say commonality of productions, i say look at the topping Taishan, several years in and look at amirs test response, at lawl, unlabeled bit formats to be fair, but look how that device, out of Topping performs,. dive bombs at a common(?) sampling format. Unless this device is converting all sampling formats to DSD internally? :o But anyways, before i pick this device up, i need to know how it performs, and not just at one sample rate,. that's like, i say, measuring a car's speed handling and acceleration at only 1 gear, when in general it will be performing across all four or five, doesn't tell a meaningful story. Running the test battery, with a script, i'd think could be just as easy as running a single test sample anyhow, so what are we considering and looking at, a broken implementation which only shows a glimpse., nope, gotta sett he battery to get an idea for my choice formats.. And a dac operating at different formats, yes can have pretty important and reveling results., Like does it outperforms which of my other dacs at their choice format? Or is it "just good for dsd", because if it's multibit, then yeah, it's supposed to be for multiformat, and if it's for multiformat, im interested in just how well it performs, or i could just digitally line to my cd player, 16bit soundcard, 16bit usb soundcard, 16bit ipod, other multibit dacs, orsomething else. ;-) So i need to know the performance at format, since it's a multi-format device. =) Same thing with 8bit and 24bit (at various sampling rates).., yeup, im not going to pay to degrade my performance, or gamble at that, lol but i am interested in the multi format device offered, in just how reasonably good it is..,
