Can i ask how you would compare the sound quality of the sparkos ss3602 in the xd05 pro and sparkos ss3602 in the geshelli j2s?

[@tonedeafmonk]

In the XD05 made more of a difference with wider stage

[@radiofreealbemuth]

@@tonedeafmonk ah, interesting. did you see a similar benefit in sound quality, though? or do you think the sparkos upgrade is more subtle on the j2s?

[@paulhealy6390]

Yes I am hoping it will be coming out soon it could be amazing hopefully not too long. thanks love your videos all the best from Scotland 😊

I just put them in mine. First impression is it seems quite. I have to turn in up. On my LCD-5s 60 on norm mode was loud. now I have it at 70. Focal clears were good at 50 now I'm up to 60. Seems weird. I'll have to play with this a few days and see for sure. Maybe the battery is low but it has 3 bars. It should not make a difference. I'm just focused on that right now then maybe I'll focus on the sound.

I would not think op amps would effect volume but I never noticed

[@marc8vino]

@@tonedeafmonk It's working fine now. I really don't know what was going on. After an hour of messing with it it sounds great. Thanks for responding.

@@marc8vino i also have the LCD5. What is your impression of the sound quality using the XD05 with the LCD5 ?

You have some issues with the xduuo until this day?

[@tonedeafmonk]

Yes and battery life still sucks

[@bernaquinonezreveles2952]

@@tonedeafmonk So it’s more like a desktop Dac/amp.. ? that’s work fine to me But so sad cuz is incredible powerful in the Balanced output:< So, Fiio Q7 is a better choice?

[@deadline7610]

Is the review coming soooon :)

[@tonedeafmonk]

It was done awhile ago.

[@doors97477]

i bought the risers one for each side can you use them if you don't want to clip the op amp

[@tonedeafmonk]

I did the same some say the XDUOO gets hot with that mine didn't

[@doors97477]

@@tonedeafmonk thank you for quick responce how do you know which way is the right way to install amp which way do i install them what to look for

[@tyrionbane]

⁠@@doors97477On the op amps themselves, one of the corners will be marked with a square or a 1, just like how a CPU is marked with a triangle in one of its corners. This corner is called PIN 1. Now if you are holding the op-amp board in such a way that the XD05-PRO OAMP text is at the bottom, PIN 1 will be at the top left of the board. You can see this at 2:12

@@tyrionbane thank you i got it to work and it does sound much better makes it sound so good

[@paulhealy6390]

great video ,the sparkos labs makes such a big difference to the sound, thanks.

[@tonedeafmonk]

Yes they do something I spe t my money on with eartips and cables didn't make as much as changing the OP-AMP in the XDUOO

[@paulhealy6390]

Yes definitely agree I try different tips but the sparkos labs op amps make a really big improvement on the sound.I ordered the Akm dac module to try it out .all the best keep up the with great videos thanks

@@paulhealy6390 Excellent choice on the AKM , I am waiting for the R2R if it ever shows up for sale
