Aroma audio product impressions.
I think they are a great all-arounder, because they really don't do any genre poorly. But they are definitely relaxed and will not excite some. I for one find myself going for Ordin more often, because it never fails to wow me. But it's a little more genre specific. Bright 80s pop, like Michael...- PinkyPowers

My collection is too big to list right now. But I have 4 CRKs. All MagnaCut. The Lefty Sebenza is my go-to package/mail opener. It sees the most use of all my knives, by far. Thanks! Here's some pork ribs and burnt ends for ya! I do have a gold+copper, I believe. I'll give it a try.- PinkyPowers

Brief A/B comparisons tonight: Aroma Audio Jewel is the warmer IEM. Between its subdued treble and greater mid-bass, it is south of neutral, possessing a lushness in the midrange. Empire Ears Odin is closer to true neutral, in spite of some funny business here and there. I know this, because...- PinkyPowers

Do I need a DAP?
I've never tried a Sony player. I've heard very good things about their top model.- PinkyPowers

Do I need a DAP?
With those, you may indeed get slightly better SQ, but it could be close. Chord is a more special case. Starting with, they aren't using off-the-shelf DAC chips, but rather proprietary design, custom tailored to the device and its needs. And, as I mentioned before, Chord has Rob Watts designing...- PinkyPowers

I can see how that would be. Especially after putting on the Type E tips. Truly outstanding performance with much nicer tonality.- PinkyPowers

Do I need a DAP?
100% yes. And it shouldn't surprise you. It's a simple device designed with the pure purpose of digital-to-analogue conversion. Even it's Amp isn't a real amp, it's done simpler and more purely. The cost of DAPs bloats tremendous because they are far, far, FAR more than DACs. They have screens...- PinkyPowers

Do I need a DAP?
From my experience, yes, you need a DAP. My foray into audiophilia had me running a Dragonfly dongle from my phone, and it was a HUGE improvement. But I hated all the hassle of that setup, and I got my first DAP, a low budget one, too. Not only did it sound better than the Dragonfly, but freeing...- PinkyPowers

Empire Ears Odin arrived today. First Impressions: Wow! I described Aroma Audio’s Jewel as boring in a good way. Odin is exciting… also in a good way! They almost couldn’t be more different, at least in presentation. Jewel was natural-neutral. Odin is hyper-real-neutral, where details are...- PinkyPowers

Congrats on the Fei Wans! And yeah, Drive is one of my favorite movies. It's such a singular piece of art. I need to watch it again, actually. I'm feeling that itch. ;)- PinkyPowers

Aroma Jewel in the house! In the picture, I'm using the PlusSound 8-wire Silver+Gold, but I've rolled over to the EA Thor + Also using SpiralDot tips. They've always been my best bet. First impressions: Natural-neutral tuning. Tuning which feels honest but not FLAT. Wide, open sound, with...- PinkyPowers

Buy the Sennheiser HD800S now or save up for the HE1000SE? (Mostly Gaming)
They're both using Stealth Magnets, nanometer diaphragm, and 8hz-65hz. But you're right. Both impedance and sensitivity are higher by a few integers. So SOMETHING is different. lol- PinkyPowers
