    Ghentaudio Cables - Impressions & Opinions. (First impressions & pictures in!)

    Got my D09 on the mail yesterday. Excellent cable, well built, took a while to arrive since the post office misplaced and it took a few months for them to find it again.

    “Aiyima” ES9038Q2M combo DAC/amp - any reason i should not pick it up?

    @pbui44 Hey, how's it going? So i ordered the SU5 from that link you sent in, it sounds really nice when playing something, nicer than my xDuoo XD05, however when there's nothing playing it generates this tinnitus like sound, very audible too, you recon this could be an issue with the power...

    Xduoo XD-05 BASIC (new release update)

    I have the same symptom on my unit, unfortunately seems to be a quirk of the model or at least of some batches (mine is from around November 2020). Not at all, heard many complaints about the same issues, also have them myself. I ordered a cheaper (US$100) Breeze Audio table DAC with similar...

    “Aiyima” ES9038Q2M combo DAC/amp - any reason i should not pick it up?

    Searching Aliexpress today i came across this interesting combo unit that at least on the surface sounds like a steal. https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002196884490.html On paper it sounds super interesting, same DAC chips as the Topping D10s, but with optical and coax inputs (which i consider...

    Best DAC with headphone amp under US$250?

    Fell a bit out of love with my xDuoo XD05 Basic lately, so i sold it. I’m looking for a better replacement, preferably around the US$200 mark, but i can go up to US$250 if necessary. I’m looking for a stationary model this time, i don’t need portability, seeing as i never moved the XD05 out of...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    I ended up not showing my used B8, so here it is. It has some minor scratches on the metal (maybe a good excuse to paint them black?), it came with a Fidelio cable and worn out earpads, but otherwise it sounds great and the wood is in great shape. I already ordered a new cable and new earpads...
