    Reply to review by 'sofastreamer' on item 'FiiO M23'

    sadly even the desktop k9 akm has a very mediocre soundstage at best because of the THX amps they use everywhere. Specially in depth and layering it falls noticebly short behind many class A or descrete opa output sections. So the m23 will only be "desktop level" when compared within Fiios own...

    Topping G5

    looking at your sig, you seem to use iems exclusively. in that case the power output of the g5 vs the one of the mojo standalone shouldnt make much of a difference.

    Best portable Bluetooth Dac Amp 2024?

    meanwhile the best money no issue portable bt dac amp is probably the Questyle CMA 18 portable. only thing that pulled me away from buying it is, that you cannot bypass the battery when connected to a power source. this way the built in battery would die too fast for the price of the unit, at...

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    not to forget the ES100 mk2 came out years before the btr15, weighs almost half as much as the btr15 and it has a very good clip already built in, while you have to add the mediocre clip case to the weight of the fiio. all in all you get much longer battery runtime, a smaller and lighter...

    it is not the smallest and lightest! this goes to the Radsone EarStudio ES100 MK2, which is 2,5 x 5,1 x 1,3 cm / 20 g , including a good clip, while you have to add the mediocre clipcase of the ifi to weight and size of the go blu! The ES100 also has much longer battery life and before you ask...

    Reply to review by 'sofastreamer' on item 'SMSL DO200 Pro Balanced DAC'

    thank you for the review! i am interested in this dac for a while now. I didnt know there are different output levels on dacs at all. What does the output voltage mean tho? Does it only effect the volume i can reach with different amps or does it also have any other impacts on sound?

    Questyle CMA18 Portable DAC with Headphone Amplifier

    in the ru7 thread many users are reporting a clicking specially in between tracks. there it is said its normal for a 1bit device, which the cma18 clearly is not. What has been reported in the past though is that questile dongles have had a high proneness to wifi and bt waves. i dont know if it...

    ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion

    it seems the thread is kind of dead, but i try again with another question. i bought a pair of new "stock" pads from thomann, which seem to have an adhesive sticker on them. so if i would put them on, they would be glued to the phones, just as the originals that still are on the ether 2. but...

    thank you for your impressions! Can i assume that regarding soundstage depth, layering and tallness they are all about the same?

    Ultimate Ears UE 150/UE 250/UE 350: Impressions and Discussions

    how could i miss this? thank you for this thread! as many others the super.fi 5 EB were my first hybrid set back in the days and i still find the ue11pro one of the most realistic timbres to find. Sadly but as usual these dont seem to be available in Germany

    ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion

    still didnt come to a conclusion, but have another question: i saw the measurements with different pads, so does either the perforated or the suede change anything regarding soundstage, layering and imaging?

    after fw update, mine did another 4 sudden reboots yesterday in a 10 hour session connected to fiios own BTA30pro via APTX HD running in low gain. Two of the times it rebooted into high gain and blew my ears. threw that piece of junk into trash bin immediately and used my Shanling UP4 2022...

    i did contact them and i dont have any paypal. also the originals are to my ears already perfectly comfortable and sounding, so any changes will be worse in my book.

    Audeze SINE Series

    i think they could, but honestly i dont think this would be very high on their agenda. we will see. i am usually not into consisting on laws, but this isnt the first time audeze scammed their customers and their products are expensive and arent use once and throw away kind of products, so i am...

    Audeze SINE Series

    yeah but they dont except bank transfer and i saw those pads already, too thick, too large opening and too soft. but i just had a call with a layer friend who will now check possibilities of a legal issue as in Europe there is a law that basically says this: "Manufacturers must provide repair...

    Audeze SINE Series

    i contacted audeze and guess what, they suggested me buying either of those: Brainwavz, CALs, Aliexpress and some generics. I already got all of them yet and none comes close to either sound or comfort (im an on ear guy anyway). specially in soundstage depth, layering and imaging. Basically...

    i am trying to update the way it was described. Loaded the bin on my phone, connected the BTR15 via BT with my phone, went to the app and clicked local upgrade. now its already 10 minutes saying "Updating device 0,0%". is that normal? edit: second try seems to work

    got them two days ago. have about 16hrs listening to them (no need to burn in, as i bought used) and i am still on the fence between genious and scam. will need a few more days to figure out.
