sennheiser hd 598c´`'s are 23 ohm. 16 ohm are not unusual for "mobile"-headphones? at least what i thought...

What pads are on your fidelios in this?

I will say no just so I don't have to buy anything.

Hahaha fair enough. Would you have the space for that though?

That would require both a CD player AND CD's.. things I don't know even exist anymore. But I suppose I should own.

Have you tried this with a CD player with optical out. I reckon a DAC like this is born to be paired with a decent CD player. Popping may actually go away completely then.

I think if the track ends naturally it is non-existant.

Does it still do it during gapless playback? I would hate it when listening to themed albums like The Wall where the music transitions between songs?

Well I've always wanted an R2R just for the hell of it. And it is at a very affordable price considering.

Yeah, must be inductance causing a voltage spike when the circuit is enabled. Hard to avoid with an R2R dac.

It severely lessened it. I'd use it optical for ease.

Does optical stop the popping? R2R dacs are designed for PCM signal if I'm not mistaken

They work for me now so yes.

Yeah that extra Blue LED is an insult. I wanted green or red.

I edited them out on the hidden URL. Didn't bother removing them on the text. Do they still work?

Dammit, Z. I didn't want to buy one of these things. I was doing so good on my 12 step program. Now you've ruined it.

Thanks for the review! My unit landed at my doorstep literally this morning, a couple hours before this came up. I figured I'll give it a solid listen before watching this to avoid unnecessary biases. Immensely enjoyed the experience. Watching the review confirmed my predictions, although I expected the spare LED to be white; good thing I didn't rush to replace it.
