    Who knows, one day we may even be able to log into a streaming service on a DAP and access millions of albums, just like that! :ksc75smile:

    Yes I guess you’re beyond salvation. 😊 And that’s fine. It just puts some awesome music beyond your reach but there is plenty to enjoy still.

    Harsh vocals are an acquired taste I guess. When done right they give me goose bumps. Two examples that I really love: Please note their clean vocals prowess as well! To compensate for these, here is a PPE alumn from my country, with lovely female vocals (although the English...

    I would have thought the Jewel, but since you have that one already clearly that is not what you are looking for. I did not have enough ear time with the 622B because they were painful for me. But in terms of IEMs with neutral/reference tuning and DD bass I would have said the Jewel, although...

    For IEMs, I'm inclined to say the Fiio FH7. It was my very first IEM, costing 500 euros at the time. I bought one again recently, to see how it holds up against higher end IEMs, and I have to say it's quite good still, with a fairly balanced signature and a nice DD bass. It is pretty and...

    Many of the bands you've been discovering lately have played at Progpower Europe. Might be worth checking out their past lineups. But sooner or later you'll run into them through Roon as well.

    That’s a good point, I didn’t know the little guy packed so much punch! What a great player for the price. Curious to see how the Annihilator fares with the Sony then, which is waiting for me back home.. I got it mainly for the esthetics. :)

    The Annihilator may have the reputation of being hard to drive, but as I’m traveling with my smallest DAP, the Shanling M6 Ultra, I think it sounds excellent nonetheless. The Annihilator is such a great allrounder for me. Everything I listen to just sounds great with these. Now listening to the...

    The availability issues and the launch edition selling over the retail price have effectively put an end to my interest in it, at least for now. There are so many great IEMs out there.

    Can’t wait to hear mine when I get back from traveling! These types of comments are the reason why I decided to get one too. I never heard a Sony player so far. Looking forward to trying it with my Jewel, sounds like a lovely combination. I don’t know anything about the DSPs etc. I guess I’d...
