I hope review samples aren't very late as usual Dunu. Looking forward to them.

How to get them for the FC6? or does it have them already?

I got the Hiby FC6 R2R dongle ($300) for a week now and I want to share my brief impressions of it: It got enough power for my Focal Celestee and Fiio FD5 and a bit lacking to my Shouer S12 (16ohm/102dB), the bass on the S12 is looser and slower compared to my E1DA 9038SG3 dongle (~500mw) but...

FC6 does not has forward vocals, it's neutral sounding dongle in OS mode (NOS is too harsh for me) and also does not has open soundstage it's quite the opposite actually, it's rolled off on the edges but the stage itself is big enough for a dongle. Notes weight is good especially in OS mode.

I don't give a F about Harmen curve I eq till things sound natural and Harmen does not sound natural to me. My current EQ for the HE1000se is just wide depressions -2dB a round 190hz and -3dB from 3-7khz and -3dB around 14khz. I don't have the exact values as I'm travelling right now but you...

If I'm not using Tidal or playing any high res tracks should I update the firmware? it's PITA to update it so should I bother?

Do the earcups swivel?

Has anyone compared it to the Cayin RU6 yet? the price, power and size differences would suggest the FC6 is superior sonically, no?

It's my first time seeing someone missing DSD playback :D

Does it now has independent volume control or still uses the device volume control?

I was sarcastic.

11>6>3 easy Why because it measures worse?

Could you please share your thoughts about those two? I'm torn between those two :)

Welcome to E1DA. Seriously tho I almost blown my ears off because I reduce the gain from the app.

Since there is no system wide EQ from Shanling (why?) is there a decent one from the Android store? I'm using the Sound Assistant app from Samsung store which got right/left balance and 9-band EQ and I hope there are something similar on the Android store that still support Android 10.

Has anyone compared the noise resistance between the SG3 and the D model? I know SE designs usually have better noise floor performance so I'm thinking about buying the new D6k model for sensitive IEMs like multi BAs and the Dunu Zen pro.

It's not about the dynamics, it's that Bluetooth haze/muddiness in the upper mids and up. I tried all LDAC and aptx codecs and none of them get rid of that BT mud. How is the noise floor of the BTR7 wired via the phone USB with the Zen?

I can't get used to the Bluetooth sound :/

Do any of you guys have a favorable pairing of the Zen pro and a good dongle? I'm on Android and currently using the E1DA 9038SG3 and it's great but my Fiio FD5 does hiss a bit from it. Since the Zen pro is approximately 6dB more sensitive I'm looking for quieter dongles. Budget below $250.

Do Adorama have a crap tons of stock or are they still in production? Are Focal secretly still producing them?

Iirc they both ship in days, they just forgot to update the upgrade page.

Plus the more robust and sophisticated power supply on each price point spike.

They would be awesome if they allowed true analog inputs and leave the compensation on a computer software. Most headphones audiophiles use their computers as a source and definitely want to use their own expensive DACs :D

What USB module does it have? And what DAC board A1 or A2?

It's been a year and half rocking with the FD5 + E1DA 9038SG3 and I'm still a happy camper. Coming from the Fearless S8pro and then purchasing the hyped Shuoer S12 the FD5 still my favorite IEMs. It got that timbre and scale of full sized headphones with extreme smoothness and ease that the S12...
