EDIT: Finally got it to boot up and ran a factory reset. Gonna be looking elsewhere for my next DAP. Anyone know how I can hard reset an R6III that's stuck in a bootloop? It was working fine two days ago when I last used it, but today it was entirely frozen and it took several tries to even...

Great buyer, quick communication and negotiated a fair final price without any trouble.

Excellent experience - buyer was prompt in payment and quick to respond.

Price drop! Now $275

I know it works as I've felt air blowing out, but I kept it in a semi-enclosed space in my TV stand so it may have been warmer in there. I've never heard it running loud and I think since I installed a solid state drive it hasn't needed to run as much.

This Zen stream has served fairly well as a bridge between Roon and my amp/DAC (a Sony HAP-S1, also for sale here). Although this device has a few well-known issues (see the discussion thread on Head-Fi), I didn't have trouble with it after iFi pushed a few firmware updates. I'm selling it...

I'm updating my living room system and parting with my Sony HAP-S1. Spotify Connect doesn't work anymore (I think due to incompatibility with current Spotify versions) but all else is functioning. I am not the first owner (bought from a fellow Head-Fi'er a few years ago) but have kept it in...

I'm using the ZMF wire they sell for DIY use - Atmos copper, silver, and Michanikos. I wouldn't be surprised if the cores within the external insulation are also coated, so using ultra fine sandpaper isn't a bad idea.

I can't find an existing answer to this question, but I'm having a bear of a time getting my solder to bond with ZMF wire. It's sticking fine to the jacks and I haven't had the same issue with Mogami gold cable (which isn't as good of quality to my ear). I've had the same issue with both the...

Agreed, ZMF has served me well (I've owned two different models now). Excellent quality and good customer support, and their headphones are all works of art.

On mine (which is currently in China for warranty repair), the update is only available in app and you have to sideload it via an APK file rather than using the Play store. I'm not sure why the Play store version doesn't work. Google Play Protect blocked the APK file, but Play Protect is a joke...

I've had good experiences with Meze. The sound signature on most of their headphones is warmer than some brands and thus doesn't trigger the tinnitus. If the R6 2020 is anything like my R6III, the Advar should pair well for portable use (contra my earlier advice about IEMs. Just use in...

Update, HiBy support asked me to mail in the R6III for repair or replacement. I'll make another update once the DAP returns from China.

Thanks, and welcome to Head-fi (since I see you're new here).

Looking for some recommended medium-end equipment. I have three major listening stations at home, and I use each in different contexts with different music genres. Yes, I'm weird. With that context, here's my setups, what I'd listen to on each, and what I'm missing. I'm willing to mix and...
