I think he means IEM exhibitor. You know, the only kind that matters 😜

R8 II > OTL > Xe6 Custom = 🤯

Haha, you did tell us! Your love for it was what made me hunt it down in the first place. What do you make of all these reports of audible hiss David? I personally don't hear it, but maybe my IEMs (and ears) aren't sensitive enough?

There's nothing wrong with sharing opinions, but there's a way to do it that doesn't get people riled up or come off as disrespectful and obnoxious. When people start calling out your abruptness, maybe take the hint instead of coming back with even more aggression? I get that this is a...

One last time, if you're going to start calling out established members of this community with aggressive retort, you won't be welcome here much longer. That's the last I'll say on that matter. It's not too late, just learn some basic etiquette. Or, don't. Your call.

Blank statements like that are going to get real old real fast around here. Just some friendly advice. :wink:

Ear caves 😅

That's a bit vague? Which DAPs did you try, and with which IEMs?

Haha, me too! Nothing gets left out the case now, and it's so convenient to have it with me so I don't have to go back and forth if I want to try something else. Yes indeed. The 'secret' to this case that all others don't have is height. It's 10cm tall (still very compact), but this means you...

Yes, you describe the sound well. Most speak of the bass but it's actually Z1R treble that makes it the best all rounder I've heard, in my opinion. Both fits are 'correct', I can use Sony S tips for a deep fit, or M tips for a shallower seal. I get a good seal on both (easy to test seal, use a...

Fantastic description this, and exactly how I felt about them the first time I heard them. Assuming this counts as head-fi gear: ddHiFi CZ300. Only $57, and currently loaded with well over $25,000 in audio gear, comfortably, securely, spaciously. The very definition of value.

Depends how big your pockets are and how tight you wear your pants... :sweat_smile:

Hey guys, I've just published my review of Beat Audio's Billow Mk II and Oslo Mk IV premium cables here. Without getting bogged down in the cable debate, these newcomers are at least a refreshing difference to the tried-and-tested we keep going back to. It's always great to discover new...

Sounds like it's too tight. I had my N8 refit for the same reason. Rather send it back and get it done right. 64 Audio has a very generous 30 day free refit policy. Just be sure to clearly mark where you're feeling pressure.

Nice impressions! Wow if N30 has more note weight than CMA18P it must have MASSIVE note weight indeed. I must have a listen one of these days.

M15i is a dongle. Comparing it to a Sony DAP is like apples and oranges.

The way I feel on any given day can shuffle my own "ranking list" like a deck of cards. 🤷🏻

I suspect you got a 🍋

I'll take✌️

Either I'm not sensitive enough to amp noise, or my unit has none. Or both. In any case, the noise that others seem to experience is entirely absent for me, thankfully.

Yes very! Good point, I only use mine with the leather case.

Rn6, Xe6, Z1R, Trifecta, N8. No noise, not even in the quietest passages. My tinnitus was always louder 😅

Could also be that some people are far more sensitive to noise floor and also use very sensitive IEMs. In my case the darker background was obvious, and manifested in better separation, imaging, stage and transient response, none of which would be as notable if noise floor was a factor.

Improper shielding or faulty caps are both very plausible. Would suck if some units have QC issues, or if this is a wider design problem with certain batches. We'll need more data points to be sure. @Sajid Amit any noise issues on your unit?

Clicking? I can definitely say there's ZERO clicking of any description on my device. Maybe WiFi or EMI interference? Too close to the phone or powerful WiFi/microwave devices? That will often result in clicking/hum on some devices.
