Questyle CMA18 Portable DAC with Headphone Amplifier
Haha, you did tell us! Your love for it was what made me hunt it down in the first place. What do you make of all these reports of audible hiss David? I personally don't hear it, but maybe my IEMs (and ears) aren't sensitive enough?- gLer

There's nothing wrong with sharing opinions, but there's a way to do it that doesn't get people riled up or come off as disrespectful and obnoxious. When people start calling out your abruptness, maybe take the hint instead of coming back with even more aggression? I get that this is a...- gLer

One last time, if you're going to start calling out established members of this community with aggressive retort, you won't be welcome here much longer. That's the last I'll say on that matter. It's not too late, just learn some basic etiquette. Or, don't. Your call.- gLer

Blank statements like that are going to get real old real fast around here. Just some friendly advice. :wink:- gLer

That's a bit vague? Which DAPs did you try, and with which IEMs?- gLer

Haha, me too! Nothing gets left out the case now, and it's so convenient to have it with me so I don't have to go back and forth if I want to try something else. Yes indeed. The 'secret' to this case that all others don't have is height. It's 10cm tall (still very compact), but this means you...- gLer

SONY IER-Z1R
Yes, you describe the sound well. Most speak of the bass but it's actually Z1R treble that makes it the best all rounder I've heard, in my opinion. Both fits are 'correct', I can use Sony S tips for a deep fit, or M tips for a shallower seal. I get a good seal on both (easy to test seal, use a...- gLer

Fantastic description this, and exactly how I felt about them the first time I heard them. Assuming this counts as head-fi gear: ddHiFi CZ300. Only $57, and currently loaded with well over $25,000 in audio gear, comfortably, securely, spaciously. The very definition of value.- gLer

Hey guys, I've just published my review of Beat Audio's Billow Mk II and Oslo Mk IV premium cables here. Without getting bogged down in the cable debate, these newcomers are at least a refreshing difference to the tried-and-tested we keep going back to. It's always great to discover new...- gLer

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
Sounds like it's too tight. I had my N8 refit for the same reason. Rather send it back and get it done right. 64 Audio has a very generous 30 day free refit policy. Just be sure to clearly mark where you're feeling pressure.- gLer

Nice impressions! Wow if N30 has more note weight than CMA18P it must have MASSIVE note weight indeed. I must have a listen one of these days.- gLer
