Review of the Hidizs DH1000 ( Sonata ) ( for those curious about the meaning of the name ) A little unboxing to get ya excited... (Hidizs always makes such good looking devices ) ( AP200 on the left ) The Review I have not written a review in a few months. Mostly because I haven’t found anything new that is exciting. About a month ago I was reached out to by a rep for Hidizs to see if I would be interested in testing the Sonata (DH1000). This is an AMP/DAC that was built to be connected to cell phones, computers, and preexisting DAPs. I...

This is such a unique player. The developers stayed true to their hearts with this little DAP. The players only lasts about 4 to 5 hours on a single charge. Does that bother me? No - and it should not bother you either. Who listens to music for music for that long at once without a power source nearby? Anyways, back to the player - This little guy sounds like a full stack. The issue with most portable set ups is that you need to carry a DAP and an AMP to have a excellent set up on the go. This DAP that has 24v output is does not need any additional...

The Kinera H3 is the newest addition to their IEM family. Most of you may know this brand from their entry level IEM the BD005. It was a dual driver, single BA single dynamic. It was popular for its price and the sound quality it achieved at its price point. I have not ever had the chance to listen to it but from reviews I have read – I have an understanding that it comes across bass heavy. Initially, I thought that this would be the same for the H3. I was wrong. It was all by chance that I met their rep named, Steve Tong. Over lengthy conversations...

The clipper is one of those earphones you hear of that peak ones curiosity. Why am I curious? Bc the clipper is about 1/10th the cost if anything else they sell. Talking with the CEO I found out the background thoughts on the creation of the Clipper. Him and his engineer wanted to make an earphone that would give people a taste of their superb sound quality but at a fraction of the price. They spent the majority of their money on the driver. Accessories and fit: The clipper is sold with a nice box and sent with the normal ear tips. However for me I...

      I want this review to be short and simple. The LEAR BTC 01 is an excellent device in this day and age where cellphones are starting to get rid of headphone jacks. I mean, the headphone jacks on cellphones aren’t that great to begin with so I’m not to mad about it. Anyways, you are probably reading this review to see if you should buy it. I believe it’s worth the money. It has big pros and big cons. The things I really liked about the device was the sound quality that I got from it. I really felt that my IEM’s benefited from the balanced...

AUNE s6 Review BACKGROUND ON ME: I have been around Head Fi for a few years now. What got me into the scene was looking for info on good headphones for mixing and mastering. My first good pair of headphones were the DT880’s. Since then I have bought and sold a bunch of different Earbuds, IEM’s and Headphones trying to find the ever elusive perfect set up. The time I spent with the s6 really opened my eyes on what an excellent dap can do.   VIDEO OF S6:   DESIGN:   The unit is pretty cool with its curved top and very smooth scroll wheel. It...
