Android Tidal with USB DAC issue
Had the chance to test it with UAPP Trial and it was no problem to listen to different audio quality songs. However, I couldn't use the Pro version because of CalyxOS which is de-googled... I got the Gryphon in the end which is great. The Mojo2 and Shanling H7 were also very good. When I...- Ookamikun

Android Tidal with USB DAC issue
Thanks a lot for confirming! Wow okay, I was hoping that maybe it was because of my weird Android version (CalyxOS). I didn't know that it would work without giving Tidal exclusive access. Maybe it works without problems using UAPP?- Ookamikun

Your issue sounds quite weird, too! I don't think they are related, though. Or maybe they are and it's time to ditch Tidal...- Ookamikun

Android Tidal with USB DAC issue
I can say 100% that it happened with shanling H5 and xDSD Gryphon but I think it also happened with Mojo 2 and Ifi hip dac3.- Ookamikun

Android Tidal with USB DAC issue
Hi community, I just noticed this while testing some DACs. When I connect the DAC (any DAC) with USB to my android phone, Tidal asks for permission and I get sound. When the track changes and the next track has a different quality, e.g. track 1 is max and track 2 is high quality, I suddenly...- Ookamikun

Improve on FIBAE7
@warrenpchi , thank you for your response! Yeah that would probably be the reasonable choice 😅 @Ace Bee , thank you for the input! I didn't think of the cable before. I will probably try out a few more setups and include different cables as well.- Ookamikun

Improve on FIBAE7
Hi community, I have the CustomArts Fibae7 for more than a year now and still enjoy them very much. Lately I have been thinking if I can improve on them with a DAC. I am using them with my Google Pixel 4a which will be replaced with a Pixel 8a once it comes out. I tested a few DACs, namely...- Ookamikun

Custom Art FIBAE 7 announcement & impressions thread
Finally got my FIBAE7 and I love them a lot! Thanks @piotrus-g for the support and the multiple e-mails. The galaxy design is awesome, even though I wish I had gone a bit brighter overall. It looks brighter in the pictures. Well, going to save that for the next one ;) It's really, really cool...- Ookamikun

Thanks, I will look into the W2, too! It seemed just a bit over the money I wanted to spend for a DAC (for now) and I heard that the S2 was similar to the W2.- Ookamikun

Thank you guys for the input! I will probably go for the S2 then. Going to test it with the IEM once I have it, though ;)- Ookamikun

Hey guys, has been a while since I last wrote here but have been lurking now and then. Have been trying out multiple IEMs in the last months and the FIBAE7 is still my favourite so I am going to pull the trigger on the custom version in the very near future. I know this thread is more about...- Ookamikun

@Deezel177 , @Animagus , Thank you guys for the explanation of the ear impressions. That's relieving to hear. @Animagus , I will probably test a bit more but I am leaning very strongly towards the FIBAE7. I realised that my office is in 20 minutes walking distance of the e-earphone store so I...- Ookamikun

This may be a stupid question but how long can one use the same ear impressions / CIEMs in general? I read somewhere that the form of the ears changes over time.- Ookamikun

@Animagus, I see, thanks for the summary. I guess, I will go the CIEM route then (to finally end the earphone snatching of my girlfriend lol)- Ookamikun

Thank you all for your responses! @Animagus, thanks for the explanation about the Andromeda. So I would need to go on a search for the best tips again. When going into such a price range, what would be the reason to go for an universal IEM instead of a custom IEM? Re-sell possibility? Or if...- Ookamikun

Hi guys, okay, so I finally had the time to test your recommendations of IEMs and wanted to share my impressions. I mainly listened to Avenged Sevenfold during the testing. I probably don't have the proper vocabulary, yet and am not that versed in the HiFi space so forgive my amateurish notes...- Ookamikun

Thanks everybody for your insights on the desktop setup! It's the same for me, that I like to be mobile and to have the possibility to listen to high-quality music away from the desktop. I just have the feeling that I won't take IEMs which cost 1000+ USD out of the house and risk losing them in...- Ookamikun

Wow, the list just grows and grows! I know this is a portable audio thread but do you guys also use IEMs for your desktop setup or do you use headphones/speakers for this setting?- Ookamikun

Thank you for your reply! I see, I guess the audio shops then also have those kinds in their product line. I noted down a few models that came up in my research and which I would like to test. They are not only custom IEMs and most of them are also quite over my budget (at least here in Japan...- Ookamikun

Hi everybody, sorry if that is not the right place to ask this kind of thing. I am currently thinking about going for a custom in-ear, moving on from a pair of UM3X. What I am wondering is, how to demo a CIEM that I am interested in? I mean, there are dozens of companies and every model has a...- Ookamikun

Improvement from Westone UM3X
Hello community, I have been using the Westone UM3X for years now and still love the sound of them a lot. Recently (more like once a year) I am thinking though, if I could improve on them. I have been searching the forums already but would like to hear your opinions as most threads have been...- Ookamikun
