Same for Forbidden, actually. The 2024 Anno Domini Was such a good idea.

Listening to the new mix of Forbidden, by Black Sabbath. Approaching it with a fresh mind and it's not bad at all. It deserves a chance. Dita Project-M connected to the Little dot mk2, Adi-2 DAC and an old Samsung phone running Amazon music.

What attracts me to "the hobby"... Music has helped me through dark times. But in order to appreciate the music, I needed to be able to hear it properly, so I always had some cool hardware, be it a fancy Panasonic casette player (the last one they made) or their MP3 able CD walkman (displaying...

Does anyone know what's the procedure for sending parcels to UK nowadays? Do I need to fill in a customs declaration? Will the receiver have to pay import tax? Judging by the profiles, @1oad3r seems to be in UK, whereas @KaszaWspraju in Poland. Is that correct, @KaszaWspraju ? (feel free to...

Almost done with the beautiful Cleo II Octa. Who's next?

You’re probably running the first firmware still. In this case, your solution is correct ;)

Audio settings ->Music scan-> scan all

My evening bliss... How I wish the beautiful Cleopatra II Octa was mine. It pairs wonderfully with the Mest. It's part of a tour though.

The signal is very weak indeed, but luckily it seems to stream even when displaying no bars in the wifi icon.

There's zeitgeistgermany. They have some pretty cool looking IEM’s. All in 2×BA configuration

Not bad. I'd even explore the possibility of having an xlr->2 pin/mmcx cable. Out of respect for dcs Lina...

Careful, you'll create a new market for xlr terminated IEM cables 😉

If your point is to experience them like those people who think they are giant killer, then yes, you're absolutely right. By using the Mojo 2, a 400 E device, you already take them out of the reach of their supporters. The question is: would your ears bleed if you go this route? ;) Shall I...

Wasn't trying to lecture you about cables...lol, your cables are more expensive than my IEMs. Sorry if it came out like that, wasn't my intention. I was only suggesting a way to level the field a bit. You'll be comparing the dirt cheap IEMS with the most expensive combos. You cannot forget what...

How about a compromise, not the stock cable, but something like ISN or FiiO? I have a SH Socrates, for example. It’s still X+Y<300. I bought the TRN azure dragon from HighEnd and the stock cable apart from being crap, turned out to be defective too (it’s got replaceable terminations, but the 4,4...

It is actually quite amazing what a decent cable makes of the sub 100Eur Chifi IEMs.

Soooo, I'm testing a new cable. Plug it into a pair of cheap Artti R1, on the account that this cable should counterbalance their lack of treble. Plug it into the N3U, tap play and horror: the first song, a Halestorm ballad, just voice and piano, the voice sounds distorted. Ok, I thought, not a...

I also can't wait to get them.

Some relaxed music, the perfect way to end my work day. 🍻

Indeed. Not only it sounds good, but it looks good too.

The Ulan has arrived...
