I mean… it could also be “worse” than Amber Pearl, price doesn’t always mean “better” in this hobby imo 🤷🏽‍♂️

Uh oh… don’t let @bigbeans see this! Lmao.

Sir... 80's and radical would be none other than this marvel.

What in the ew is this...

Considering picking up an M30 Plus but I have a question, for the on-board Android apps do these have to be updated via Shanling through firmware or can you update them yourself in any way? Thanks!

Why stop there when you can buy the Beat Audio Billow also? Gold overload. 😂

Nope, there’s no markings on my Storm.

I never noticed this during my ownership, lmao. Maybe that’s a testament to how pleasant they sound.

I can only imagine how that sounds! I think having a desktop piece that’s great for IEMs too is a great choice. The Lotoo Mjolnir (for my tastes) blows away any DAP I’ve heard and that’s not even a “proper” desktop piece of gear. I’ll hopefully try the DMP-Z1 this year but I’m not sure I’d buy...

No fit issues on Traillii for me minus the occasional vacuum seal. I was just suggesting alternatives that I think should be considered in place of Traillii since that doesn’t work for him. I think 622b is also a decent shout but I found it’s mid range to be fairly dry and lacking in that...

Hmmm hot take maybe? - try Melodic Artification Alter Ego if you haven’t already. I preferred it to both OG and Ti Traillii for that softer more relaxing playback that has great timbre.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn’t mind if it was included for free. 😃 at this price and the lack of a charging brick was already quite annoying lol!

Did she provide any ETA for the LTTP dongle?

It might be! Some sources do this and some shut off the amp when you aren’t playing anything. I just find it’s more practical to check for noise with quiet passages as music is playing as it’s more representative of normal use case.

If you are pausing it you are likely disabling the amp entirely so you shouldn’t hear any hiss. I’d suggest a test where you play music with quieter passages and listen that way.

Haha yes, not much to add. Love this thing! I did just receive my VN case last week, highly recommend buying this. It's quite modular and adjustable or different situations.

That’s pretty much what I assume is going on.

I can also confirm this play/pause issue happens on a lot of DAPs that aren’t FiiO. It must be an Android thing? It happens on my R8 II but I didn’t notice it happening on the AK SP3000T. What works for me is pushing play two or three times.

Do you still intend to get a CIEM or has that idea died down for you given there seems to be no ETA?

Haha I gave the ZMF Caldera open-backs a try last week at home, I have accepted that I need IEM isolation at all times or I don't feel too engaged with my music. I'll be lurking around here though! :beerchug: Congrats on the thread launch!

Lmao. Duality with the impedance adapters had me pushing volume #s on the N30 that I’d never come close to seeing before. 😂

It's been SO long since I've had a Campfire IEM. Do you happen to know how Trifecta and Bonneville are in sensitivity relative to stuff like Andro and Fathom? Their all BA sets I think tend to be more problematic with noise. I know Supermoon is quite power hungry, but I can't recall the other...

Yes this is definitely how it is, it doesn't "drive" Storm well but it sounds nice like you mentioned. 100% a tone over tech flavor for Storm in this case.

I am waiting for some more feedback from users also. I was testing the SP3000T with the Subtonic Storm which is a notoriously insensitive IEM. I have some friends that are saying the SP3000T on tube mode is unusable with very sensitive sets such as the Vision Ears X/10 or certain Campfire Audio...
