    Windows Sonic vs Dolby Atmos & 7.1 virtualization in Creators Update

    Aww crap it's not free, but I'm using the trial and think I may purchase, it's $29 Canadian I think it said. Side note off topic, grabbed a pair of Sennheiser HD25 during the sale! Missed it from Sennheiser's direct page with the chance of getting a limited edition model, but ordered via...

    Windows Sonic vs Dolby Atmos & 7.1 virtualization in Creators Update

    Thanks I'll have to give it a try. I have a Sony setup with DTS for my home theatre. STR DN1080 in a 3.0 speaker setup. I prefer the DTS to Dolby. I'll post back with my impressions. Edit: Christ it's free?! Sweet 🤘🏾

    Windows Sonic vs Dolby Atmos & 7.1 virtualization in Creators Update

    Bringing back an old post from the grave, but yes, I've played BFV with this setting on and it did help with the soundstage and location tracking. I found that BFVs footsteps etc. impossible to track direction, but with this on and my Philips X2 headphones I have an easier time. Takes me back to...

    Official X1 stable firmware discussion thread--version 2.0: Added library search function, Recently Played playlist, ReplayGain

    I'm going to assume my issue is going ignored now, since you replied to someone that mentioned something after me. The unit freezing is a huge bug. Simple test, just throw a unit you have into line out mode, turn it off, then turn it on, and don't touch it, let the screen turn off on its own...

    I figured it out thank you. While I have you, can you guys please look at that issue with the unit requiring a "reset" using the pinhole when left on without pressing OK with lineout? It's a really big problem for me, as I use it with the Q1. I don't carry a pin with me when I'm on the road...

    I just experienced the freezing if left on the "line in" warning without pressing OK bug. It's a major issue in my opinion, as I use my unit with a FiiO Q1 on public transit daily. So if I turn it on as I'm leaving my apartment and forget to check to see if it's turned on and to press OK, it...

    I dunno about you guys, but I love a good placebo effect. HAHA, sounds better to me on new firmware!   All kidding aside the performance of the unit is noticeable for me.  Tracks playing, and switching are much faster, no "lag".    Thumbs up, great final firmware!  Greatly appreciated...

    A little confused with this last post about the new theme. The firmware file from the first page is the same as this one, minus the documentation?   Edit: Neeeeeeeevermind, sorry guys, haven't had my third cup of coffee yet.  LOL Also, new splash screen on bootup!  :)

    This is unexpected, thanks!   Great firmware support.   I only wish you could've added folder play, instead of working with playlists.  *sigh*   Also, when using lineout, if you leave the player on that screen without pressing OK, the unit will freeze. I brought this up a while back...

    New Philips Fidelio Headphones

    Wow I'm surprised you're willing to give up your Beyer dt-1350s. I can live with the cable over lesser sound.

    New Philips Fidelio Headphones

      I hate you for showing me these. I think I'm going to buy them. Even with the exchange rate and duties, it's a steal compared to retail in Canada. Amazon.ca shows them for $300+ These will turn out to be just about $160 all in. Only catch is the full black ones are not $85, but $150...

    FiiO's new Q1 portable DAC-amp: Let's drink to "Happy Listening"!

    Hey guys just curious. When you're using any USB DAC with a computer (Win OS) are you setting the sample rate or just plugging and playing? I recall reading you should match the sample rate of the audio device in Windows to the source. I'm using my Q1 with my work laptop playing a mix of...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Can you tell me which model case exactly? Thanks! I'm also enjoying the X2's so much I'm debating whether to get another one for the office, as the pair I just got from Massdrop is going to be a home use pair.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    I received mine a couple of days ago from Massdrop.   They're the GIbson made ones that say WOOX on the headband.   The earpads were glued on, I removed them by pulling them off forcefully.  The glue is serious stuff, took me an hour to remove it all.  Hindsight is 20/20, I should've used a...

    Official X1 stable firmware discussion thread--version 2.0: Added library search function, Recently Played playlist, ReplayGain

    One thing I've been experiencing since the 1.6 firmware update is my unit hanging more frequently. It has happened maybe 4-5 times now. I'm using it paired with a Q1, and when I turn it on, it first displays the lineout warning message and you have to press OK before continuing. I've noticed...

    @cjs001 Ah OK, that makes more sense, if you've been listening to better quality sources. You should've lead with that. When used as a USB DAC on my work laptop, I leave bass boost off, it muddies the sound for me, depending on the music of course. If a heavy bass track comes on I might turn it...

    Reply to review by 'shampooca' on item 'FiiO Q1 portable headphone amp & DAC'

    @cjs001, I completely disagree with your experience with the Q1's DAC. To me it sounds better than the DAC on the X1 amplified with the Q1. I'm not quite sure what genre of music you listen to, but I don't find it harsh at all, it's actually quite "easy" to listen to, and I find it airy. I like...

    FiiO's new Q1 portable DAC-amp: Let's drink to "Happy Listening"!

      Hi Joe, This is exactly how I'm using the two, I bought the Q1 to amplify my Beyerdynamic DT-1350CCs, with the X1 being taking on the player duties. I just prefer the sound from the Q1's DAC to the X1 for certain music, it sounds airier, better soundstage to my ears, than the X1.

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    Mother cracker!!! I didn't know it was limited to 75 units! I was watching this all day, when it was at 3 people. Fricking frack! I guess all one can do is wait for another drop. That's pretty sad that it didn't clearly state there was a limit to the number of units. I was only watching the "7...

    Haha great review! I'm pretty happy with mine, but like this hobby goes, if you want to keep something for a while, don't listen to other devices with different DACs that you might prefer, because you won't be holding onto the device for long. Pretty good considering the price. Build quality is...

    IMPROVING THE COMFORT OF THE DT1350 WITH TWO NEW EARPADS FROM BEYERDYNAMIC

    The smaller original pads had a deeper sound to it. Sounded a bit more "amplified" for lack of a better term, but there's a good chance I'm blowing steam, because the instore demo was via an amp I cant remember, and my facelifted pair are being listened to via an FiiO E6, direct from an X1 and...
