    Obscure Chinese DAPs

    I can see that there's a new firmware 5.0 uploaded on 25h of August, however I can't register a baidu account to download it. Can anybody fetch the V5.0 (default english).npg file off baidu and upload it here or somewhere more accessible? Thanks!

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Thank you very much for that. Could you provide me the max current that M0 and Q1 can supply on the 5V out? If I recall correctly, the 9038S dongle needs on average 80-100mA to work properly, with some peaks nearing 125mA, but that's during dsd playback, which I won't be using.

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Hi @Shanling, few questions: 1) Does M0 support usage as a transport for a dac? 2) I have an E1DA 9038S dongle and I'm considering M0. Would it work in a setup like that? 3) Can it control hw volume of the e1da dongle (UAC2.0)? 4) Would it function as transport as well when streaming LDAC to...

    Thanks for the reply! Shame, cosidered it as a cheap all-in-one device. The only thing missing and the most crucial one for me is usb transport ability.

    Does it work as usb transport? Can you plug in an usb dongle like e1da 9038s into it?

    Hifiman Ananda

    Hey guys, I'm probably nitpicking but I noticed some "wrinkles" on the left driver of my newly bought Anandas. I've contacted the support and received a response that in their experience this should not affect the sound of the headphones. I didn't notice anything odd with the sound just playing...

    E1DA DACs Discussion Thread (PDV2, 9038S, 9038D, 9038X, HiFiToy, HPToy)

    I'd recommend USB Audio Player Pro, in my opinion it's the best out there for usb dacs with hardware volume control. It even controls the hw volume with your phone's buttons and remembers it after unplugging.

    E1DA DACs Discussion Thread (PDV2, 9038S, 9038D, 9038X, HiFiToy, HPToy)

    It's mainly for adjusting the dac filters and controlling the thd of 2nd and 3rd harmonics (in order to get the "fuzzier" tube sound). So nothing as substantial as EQ. Pretty subtle to the overall sound of the device.

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    ANC needs very good passive isolation (either closed back on ear or iem) to provide good results. Since Beans are earbud like, all the noises just bleed through the weak ear-seal, making the ANC a bit pointless in my opinion. So, that's not a faulty unit, thats just their design :)

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Didn't hear the Snow lotus, but my Rosemary 2.5mm arrived a couple days ago and while I share the same thoughts about the cable, I'm positively surprised by the sound :) Comparing them with the ST-10S Gold they seem to have less sub bass and high sparkle, but more mid bass and mids themself...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Will try that later. Did you use any particular type of glue? Or just remove the grilles, clean the port by blowing some air inside and reglue with same adhesive remaining on the grilles?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Yes, also 2 different cables, I think this is a mechanical issue. It gets noticeable on tracks with a lot of sub bass when there isn't much of other frequencies. But in the main 2 genres I listen to (heavy guitar stuff) it gets masked away. But after hearing it on the bass shaker, the main...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hey everyone, my ST10s golds are experiencing parasitic buzz when playing the headphone shaker from audiocheck (https://www.audiocheck.net/soundtests_headphones.php) Any way to make it go away? I don't want to damage the earbuds by blowing into them or something :( Bought my pair from MissAudio...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Had the same issue, changing the foams didn't help much for me, but in the end the pain went away after like 3 days of usage. The initial discomfort is worth the sound of these IMO :)

    Shanling M5s now with TIDAL - Dual AK4493EQ DAC, fully balanced, Wi-Fi, 2way LDAC BT, 3.2 Touch screen, FW 3.7

    Wow, seems like it helped a lot. It still skips sometime, but it happens a lot less often now :) Thanks for that! Sure, I will compile a list and send it to you during the upcoming week. Regarding the wheel issue, upon further investigation I think this might be a hardware potentiometer issue...
