Thank you for the speedy reply.Doesn't seem like it
My topping had that and when it's not detecting signal it would automatically go into standby and then when it detected signal again it would automatically turn on. I really miss that part.

Hi i recieved today directly from sabaj store . Its not turning on can anyone help please.
What have you done so far to try to turn it on?
Keep in mind: there is both a power switch on the back of the unit that needs to be turned on, as well as the power on/off button on the front of the unit. (Or the power button on the remote.)

yeah i did that there is no light indicator that turns no matter what i do
I would recommend check the voltage selection and fuse. Also try another power cable.

i did try my pc power cable too its not working
It's on the back of the unit, next to the power inlet.
There is a power selector in the back. It's usually covered by a sticker. Most likely the selector is in the right position but still check it.

i just dont know what to do . I noticed when i opened fuse and put it back i saw red light on the button for split second
A bad power button maybe? Have you tried to use remote to power on?

i dont have baterries for remote
Just circling back on the issue that @georgek558 was experiencing with the Sabaj D5. Turns out it was a blown fuse.
For anyone else that might run into this problem: the Sabaj D5 uses 0.5 Amp / 250V fuses.

i have another problem tho it seems that i cant get full power from xlr output my headphones are hifiman edition xs which is 92 db 18 ohm and sabaj has more than enough power to drive them but it fails also there is not much difference from using 6.35mm output
My D5 drives a pair of HiFiMan HE400i's, the 2015 version. Comparing the key specs:
From my experience I can just barely drive my HE400i's to full volume (for my ears at least) when using PEQ via the 1/4 headphone jack. If I really want ear-splitting levels I have to switch over to the XLR headphone out.
That said I don't know much about headphone specs, so I don't know if your Edition XS's -- because of the differences in impedance and sensitivity -- are somehow that much harder to drive than a pair of HE400i's. Or if the power required to drive these two is not that much different, then is there potentially an issue with your D5, your power source, your XLR cable, etc?
Obviously some of the best headphone amps that Amir has reviewed deliver significantly more power than the D5; it's not a standout amp in that regard. The Monoprice THX 887, for example, can drive 3.7 watts (50 Ohm load via XLR, on High gain). That's almost triple what the D5 can do for a 50 Ohm load via XLR.
Impedance | Sensitivity | FR | |
| HE400i (v2015) | 35Ω | 93dB | 20Hz-35KHz |
| Edition XS | 18Ω | 92dB | 8Hz-50kHz |
