The M5Ultra doesn't have support for Qobuz at this time and I don't know if it's in the works.

Mine is coming back from tour so looking forward to the comparison with the EM10, Pilgrim and DaVinci

Gtrat impressions thanks for sharing 👍

I think it needs to be in USB Audio mode as I came to the same conclusion and USB Dac when hooked up to computer. Try that ?

Why can't you use those features in the Tidal or Apple Music App on your player are they not supported in android?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_msUFyBU I use this brand I also use a Hakugei Voice cable pure ofcc over the stock cable no filters https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKcTgz0

I think you don't use USB DAC mode connected to your phone you use USB Audio as for the other issue have you checked you don't have play through folders checked? FOLDER skip I think it's called

Doesn’t count your still in the clear! Amazing self control I applaud you sir!

I don't believe you can make it through the entire sale without one small purchase.

Did you try it with a Tanchjim Oxygen filter? That should just the edge off for you?

I didn't read the shilling but what they probably didn't tell you is that you can ask for earhooks on Penon cables as is my preference or...go and buy the cable directly from the wholesaler for less on AliExpress. I posted that a few times and my post dissappear on HeadFi for some mysterious...

I noticed the DX180 has a output impedance of 0.6 ohms and that should stop any colorization of the sound where as the Shanling m5 Ultra is 6.6 ohms and I am sure it does color some gear in some ways. We talk synergies maybe that's part of the equation I don't fully understand the techi stuff...

Oh man if I ever spilled the beans I would be banned from HeadFi and the hobby in general so yeah I never posted that conversation before, might in the works already many spies for Penon on here.

Man I wish I had a constant stream of free stuff but I am not that kind of reviewer that tries to keep the suppliers happy. There are definitely brands that want to see a positive reviews only , Penon and Hidizs bieng the worst offenders. I try to look for hidden gems and unknown brands...

Further to yesterday's spicy take on the TRN Medusa here is what I came up with. Yes I was critical and yes this was a free sample from TRN who are great with feedback and criticisms.

OMG so perfectly said. If I was to bill my hourly rate on each review I would need $1000 based on only 5 hours of time. And I spend more time in ears and video and editing than that.

No it doesn't mean it uses the same drivers each IEM is of course set with whatever configuration it's engineered and tuned with. When did it become more important to call out what drivers are used and what's in IEM over using your ears and just enjoying or critiquing on what your hearing...

No such thing as too much power the volume control is stepped enough to give you fine control. Not sure if the DX180 has a setting for maximum vol like the Shanling M5Ultra but it's a handy feature if it does.

There is a reason the mkii Meyer-Audio Uses the same new 2 pin recessed socket and terminations.

I have a plastic allergy and they might be a choking hazard. I may have been feeling a bit spicy and was much nicer in my video. Still not a fan of the bass 😕

No the shells are smooth on outside so no leakage. I should have also qualified my statement about the shifty monotone bass. I was just listening to some rap and thought well this bass with this genre of music would kinda work for the Medusa but not at for music where the texture and details...

I am not sure why Chris has a hate on with Myer-Audio, it comes out of the same factory as DUNU and a few others. You can't say one has cheap drivers and not the other then and praise a fellow colabs IEM. I was shocked personally to see that not sure what's going on there ? Take a look at pic...

Try with this track if you think the bass sounds good I will eat the Medusa. https://tidal.com/track/12014143?u The Delci destroyes the Medusa In definition, decay, tonality, timbre and just over quantity x10 TRN have made some bangers and some serious dogs. Conch was a banger the Azure...

Here is some close up pics of my shells it looks cheap as well. The way the driver is glued in and the shells are chipped inside or not glued together. I review alot a TRN and quite honestly thier QC is worse than KZ

The upper mids and treble are nice overall not a bad set but not worth the $50 ask even with the banging cable and accessories. Maybe I am a bass snob but one think I can't settle on is bass. If you have the Decli why go to a big downgrade.
