I’m really wondering about this. Reason being currently I only have a $80 portable fiio k17 alphen 2 from 2017 I bought back in 2018 used for $80 and have been using it with my sundara and it’s great but recently I’ve been wanting an abyss Diana MR. and according to specs it would definitely get...

I know this is extremely old but does reducing digital volume and putting pre amp at 0 improve the sound? for some reason I was never really a fan with EQ because everything sounded kinda off and i literally have 12 different sundara eqs because i could never find the right one that didnt sound...

I've tried two fiios with the sundara fiio q1mk2 and fiio e17k alphen 2. Both aren't being sold anymore but both sound excellent with the sundara so I think if you decicide to go with fiio you won't be disappointed. I don't have any experience with chord mojo so hopefully someone can give their...

topping has got to be one of the worst pairing with sundaras I’ve tried. I honestly can’t believe reviewers recommend them together, it sounds so lifeless and boring. Some sites selling the them as a bundle together is mind boggling.

Topping has got to be the most boring, overhyped gear I’ve ever heard. I guess their target market is for people who like watching paint dry but want to do it with their ears.

So I can get the V2 or I can get the SE for $1500 more (both are used). Is the SE worth $1500 more than the V2 sound wise?

I don't watch that reviewer but you're pretty much what audio subreddits have a bunch of, people who read and watch a bunch of reviews then they think they know it all and no one else can say otherwise or they're a "giga dummy". Without owning or even hearing what said audio equipment sounds...

i started from the beginning of the thread and im working my way up the pages still but its pretty interesting seeing in photos what people were using from 13 years ago to now.

is it easy to get dust out at all if it does happen?

how much of a problem is dust with older stax models? I'm thinking of getting an older stax model just to try them but this whole thing of if you get dust in it it will ruin them kinda puts me off from it especially since i always leave my headphones on the table and i will surely forget to...

Can someone give me a eq for 2021 Sundara? I’m bored of the current eq I’ve been using (oratory) looking to change it up.

For the few of us who like to find errors in music what are some some songs you know that had errors (or whatever the proper word for it is) in music? Here’s two: Counting stars- one republic, some people say it’s an artifact left in that’s repeated, others say it’s a squeaky pedal but it goes...

A problem I see and ran into a lot is on the headphone subreddit. Plenty of times I've looked at people asking for purchasing advice and people who have never heard the headphone giving advice. A few times ive even clicked on the profile of the person giving the advice and they themselves are...

So I basically I was looking at the guides for avoiding scams and saw this: 2Erly, QuadralSx, Delly, minisc223 Various names, using what is likely stolen Paypal accounts, but all requesting shipping to a different address, whereupon he files a claim with PayPal: 280 Weston Rd Toronto Ontario...

I don't have any issues with liking them however they are starting to break, the right driver is starting to pop randomly (I've tried a different cable no luck) and i notice its getting more frequent so they're pretty much almost finished. Unfortunately the warranty is over so I cant return...

Hopefully I worded the title correctly. Basically I currently have a pair of Sundaras I'm happy with but I'm looking to upgrade after having them for close to a year. I'm not sure if I should go straight for an 1266 at this point or just take it one step at a time. The issue I think with going...

I used to trust cheapaudioman, when i was looking at his video about the Topping E30 he said it was a great dac blablabla. Then when he did a DAC tier list he listed the E30 as one of the worst dacs he's ever heard and put it in the F tier. Surprise, Surprise the topping E30 video where he...

I was listening to a topping L30 E30 I got with a pair of Sundaras. I thought it didn’t sound great and thought the wall outlet was having power issues (I’ve never had any other amp and DAC before this so I wasn’t sure) so I literally started googling stuff about wall outlets. I then realized I...

I tried a different headphone cable, a new one I bought and for some reason it sounds less lively than my Sundara stock cable. Could say it’s placebo but I didn’t buy it and try it with the mindset of “oh boy this cable is going to be worse than the stock cable that came with my Sundara I’m...

I was browsing around and it seems like just buying a used pair would be cheaper than actually rebuilding it. So unfortunately I think this project is a no-go I love the headphone but I don’t think it’s worth the cost of just buying a used pair in working condition off someone.

This was my very first headphone and I’d like to bring them back to glory. Both drivers work, the cable is messed up which cuts out sound from the driver that’s dangling in the picture. Unfortunately I lost the screws to that cup but I would like to do something fancy with them. Maybe wooden...

I have a pair of sundaras and when I got them they were extremely bright, lifeless and harsh I could barely listen to them I had my girlfriend listen to them (she’s not really into the whole audio stuff just uses AirPods) and she also said bluntly “they sound bad” but after “burn in” they...

I don’t think it was but holy crap I followed those steps in the link you posted and now my computer boots up quick! Thank you! Came here looking to fix bad audio managed to fix up my booting issues and hopefully my bad audio we’ll see.

Oh, well, then I guess I just gotta put up with it for now.

Just tried it the one that consumes the most resources is ‘Antimalware service executable’ I tried disabling it but it said access denied. Edit: found a way to disabling it restarting my pc now. Edit2: the disabling didn’t work still shows up, I have no idea how to disable it. it has 16gb
