Dear member, any information / impression with regards Xduoo XD05 plus that recently released?
- Dan Clark Aeon X 13 Ohms 94 dB ( Magical amp for this headphones )
- I think people are fooled due to the low Ohm nature of these headsets they do not need a more powerful amp. The AEON loves current ( milliamps ) so they can breathe. This is a great amp that opens where sound rich and luxurious.
- Found best playing back best on Gain Level 3 to open up the headset.
- John Cash Hurt just is so intimate which guitar bright, vibrant, and detailed.
- Sonny Boy Williamson Bring It Home, his quick burst of harmonica on a lesser amp/DAC is muddled, it is clear and detailed, just fantastic separation drums, guitar, vocals, and harmonica. 3/4 way thought the song there they lightly bring in a Harmond organ
How sensitive is the volume knob with the Aeon X's? Meaning is it like my shower where I give it the gentlest nudge it either way and it goes from icebergs to volcanos?
The Volume has a nice large range, also you have three levels of gain so it works with a wide range of headphone, but it can get Mount Saint Hellens loud on, for example, Rosson Audio Rad-0 at gain level 0, I listen to it a little bit less than noon on gain knob ( Volume)
Rad-0 is pretty easy to drive. So it a good test do you have a range on gain knob.
This is my headphone amp/dac I take on the road now. ( when we still could travel )
The large volume knob (me like! ); AC power instead of battery (for easier desktop use); and of course...@WoodyLuvr I see you’re also all over that L30 thread too. I’ve been considering the XD-05 Plus instead of a L30/ some dac combo because it will likely be cheaper in the end and give portability/ Bluetooth. What makes you so keen on the L30?

With that said I am indeed really liking my xDuoo so I will have to definitely really justify the L30 when it debuts... I'll surely figure out a good reason why !
There are actually full measurements by WolfX Check it out here:There are no measurements available?

Power saving feature. The bluetooth module (05BL Pro) has a 15-minute battery saver shut-off feature. The "no signal" message will also appear within 5 seconds or so if no media is playing (no signal being fed to the XD-05 Plus)... a second power/battery-saving feature.no signal
