The Qudelix-5K thread
A few Fosi Audio products do not have linear outputs, so you may want to check yours maybe, if you care about this. I know for certain the K5 Pro had a dip in bass not correctable with the bass control.- kalibri

The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.
Ok, I don't know what to tell you, buy something else then. But, the smaller capacity the battery has the more fragile it is. In the absence of a protection feature/circuit, it's just chemistry.- kalibri

The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.
Don't keep it plugged in all the time, don't store it at 100% charge, don't discharge it all the down to 0 and the battery will last a very long time. LiPo batteries like to be kept between 20 and 80% charge for optimal lifetime, I follow these rules myself and have zero problems with the ton of...- kalibri

Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread
It's kind of the same thing here in Australia too, can't return headphones/IEMs generally due to hygiene but depends on the store mostly, Amazon will take almost anything back. The MK3 even though it has a big shell is pretty damn comfy IMO, for example the Kiwi Ears Cadenza which is a lot...- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
True. I have the Hiby R3 II for comparison, which is probably the closest to the BTR7 and yeah, except the clunky Bluetooth operation it's not too bad.- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
I agree about power not being significantly higher, it is higher though if someone cares enough I guess. Also, the BTR7 doesn't have any hiss even with super sensitive IEMs, to my ears at least, so it's pretty good in this regard. Purely from a sound perspective I do like the BTR7 slightly...- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
If you want to stretch it out a bit maybe the BTR7. Just kidding, no, it's not even close in terms of software. It's much better than when it launched but it still only supports 3 profiles (at least then can be renamed now) and the interface is crap compared to the 5k. It sounds freaking great...- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
Geez dude lighten up a bit, you act like your life depends on the 5k. It's OK, it's a fine device and you'll love it. See above my friend, come down on the ground, go outside and touch some grass, I understand you probably debated a long time on what to get and now some dude on the forums...- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
Compared to you, I use my own ears to make a judgement. And I don't think I failed to follow etiquette, I am talking from my own experience, not parroting reviewers. I truly believe I am a step ahead of you as I actually own the devices I talk about. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, not my...- kalibri

No it's not, it's you who are biased cause you do not have points of comparison. I do have them and I can talk from my own experience, I do not have to rely on reviews.- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
I own the BTR7 (and the Go Blue and way more dac-amps) and the 5k is nothing special in terms of sound, it in the bottom drawer. If it wasn't for the software no one would be talking about it.- kalibri

The Qudelix-5K thread
Probably. But no one buys the Qudelix for the sound, they buy it for the software. The sound itself is fine, it's decent, , it sounds like a $100 device, I think my BTR7 and other DAC-amps I own sound better for example.- kalibri

The explanation is that: fast filters add echo. slow filters sound natural.- kalibri
