Yes, I got it from Shenzhen, hence warranty is still valid. It will be shipped from Latvia. As for reasons to sell - I have a FiiO K19 which sounds equally good but has DSP.

Selling a low-hours pair of Thieaudio Hype 4 IEMs. Will come with all of the accessories. Everything is in a like-new condition except the zipper on the carrying case. The loop broke off, so it's harder to operate it. Will ship anywhere at the buyer's expense, but prefer to keep it in the EU.

Contrary to what's stated on the box, this DAC doesn't suck. It's in a like-new condition, save for a tiny nick on the top plate. Will come with all accessories and will be shipped in the factory box. Will ship at buyer's expense anywhere, but prefer to sell in the EU.

Selling a like-new FiiO K11 DAC/AMP. Will be shipped in the factory box with all of the stock accessories. Feel free to ask, if any questions arise.

Selling a pair of like new Moondrop May hybrid IEMs. Will be shipped in the factory box with all of the accessories. I'll throw you in an extra 3.5mm cable because that's how to get the best out of these IEMs.

Selling a like new pair of Moondrop Aria 2 IEMs. Will be shipped in the factory box with all of the accessories.

Selling a set of like-new FiiO JH5 IEMs. Will come with all stock accessories. Shipping at buyers expense.

I'm a reviewer, got the EA500LM for free, and bought the EA1000 myself. The tuning of the EA500LM is better but the EA1000 surpasses it everywhere else. I don't think there's much that can do better technicalities than the EA1000 at the price point.

Selling my trusty Jotunheim 2 complete with a Multibit DAC card. The condition is like new, I'm a non-smoker and don't have any hairy pets. Will send anywhere in the EU at the buyer's expense. Tracked shipping to most countries is about 20EUR.

Pretty sure Tyll busted the burn-in myth. He kept a pair of full-size headphones on a rig for a month or so and kept sweeping them. All he detected was a slight change in the atmospheric pressure due to time of day/temperature. While I have measured a change in driver suspension compliance for...

Here's my take. Was pretty hard to write because I hate reviewing good products. Makes me feel like I'm gushing too much. https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/02/simgot-ea500lm-review/

I was half-joking. But I really do like the EA500LM and I feel that it's better tuned than the EA1000.

The EA500LM. It's the answer to everything.

I'm sure Crin will be all nice and fluffy after a Simgot x Crinacle EM6L ZERO

Yeah, ring'em out if you have a rig. Sloppy bass should show right up easily. P.S. You have checked whether the nozzles are screwed on tight?

I mean, I respect your view but it sounds like a faulty unit. Of course, the EA500LM can't sit by flagships but I can't imagine their bass being perceived as downright bad.

The Hype 4 is tonally more neutral unless you count the low-end. Personally in the Hype line I find the low end too much but I get where Thieaudio were going with the tuning. In terms bass quality the EA500LM are uncomfortably close to the Hype 4. The EA1000 is a clear step above the EA500LM in...

Have the Hype 4 and EA1000. And Aria 2 + May.

I'd try to get a replacement. No bass troubles on my set.

Got the EA500LM on for the last 4 hours. In a similar price range, they trounce the Aria 2 and May. Further listening is required, but this is seriously good. Multi-BA technicalities together with single-DD bass and cohesiveness.

Even with 120dB/V sensitive IEMs there's no noise and the lowest gain mode is a godsend with all IEMs. As for the general sound, it's very source-dependent. The amp is fairly transparent with no apparent sins of commission. With that said - if you're used to all-opamp offerings, the sound...

Apparently, they didn't know how to do the render right. On mine, it's a 4-pin. These figures are trivial to get with massive opamp parallelization. Look at the high-ohm power figures. 300mW in 600 ohms shows the limitation of this approach as the amp is voltage-limited. A max output voltage of...

They're very good. Versatile and resolving with very little leaning towards clinical. With that said, I'm concerned about the value proposition of chi-fi if they insist on opamp-only designs.

Well, it's better late than never to learn about market segmentation.
