@goldwerger my good friend, I will join the others thanking you from the bottom of my heart for the initiative, creating this new thread. Since you brought up synergy... I will dedicate my first post here to a different type of synergy. The synergy between the original Watercooler thread and...- Zachik

Look! MOONDROP's First HiFi Smartphone, MIAD01
Hopefully we get a clarification from Davy on what that means... When you're playing music with UAPP, what does it display for sample rate etc?- Zachik

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
Awesome deal for sure. 100% agree. I only brought it up because in the audiophile community, for whatever reasons (I honestly do not remember) - the 660S, which happens to be the only 150Ω model, was not loved. Not saying there is a 1:1 correlation, but it sure is a potential root cause there...- Zachik

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
@Jermo K / @ericpalonen - can you reveal any reasoning or thought behind making the HD620S impedance 150Ω as opposed to 300Ω? The only not-very-popular 600 series was the original HD660S which happened to be 150Ω... I am not saying that was its downfall, but HD660S2 changed (among other things)...- Zachik

Added the HiFiMAN HE-400i to the spring clean up. $20 off if you get 2 headphones. $30 off if you buy all 3 headphones.- Zachik

Andy's reviews are great. You have to be logged in to be able to install your purchased apps. If you have security concerns - change your google account password, login and install UAPP and other apps you want, logout and change your google account password. A process, but if that makes you...- Zachik

Have you tried UAPP by any chance? This is my favorite music app for Android. Also, what about Roon? I would love to be able to use this little guy as Roon control interface. I will not even bother installing a SIM card ;-)- Zachik

Just give it a try and see if UAPP gives error message or not. My guess is UAPP won't recognize the DAC, but the developer can (likely) add support in a pinch.- Zachik

@atechreviews can you try installing UAPP on the phone? If UAPP reports the HW is not supported - try contacting the (SUPER responsive and nice) UAPP developer. When I got the iBasso DX260 DAP, it was not supported by UAPP... 2 days later - I had a beta version from him that worked like a charm...- Zachik

Look! MOONDROP's First HiFi Smartphone, MIAD01
Interesting use case (for me): Forget about SIM card, disable cellular functionality, and use it as a Roon controller (instead of a tablet). Bonus functionality: stick a 1TB microSD card, and use as a DAP (running UAPP). Maybe for my next international vacation, I can use it as a dedicated...- Zachik

Todd - I love all your work, the above being my personal favorite! 😍 I am curious, how big is it? Nothing next to it for scale, hard to tell if that is palm-sized or 6 foot tall... Anyhow, this piece is so interesting - I literally sat and stared at it for 5 minutes, and kept discovering new...- Zachik

Frequency response at the ear drum
I disagree. Yet again, this is presented as a fact.... where it should be presented as YOUR opinion. Edit to clarify: Sound waves hitting your ear drums is everything. THAT - I agree with. But FR captures only part of the information of the sound waves that hit your ear drums. So, it is partial...- Zachik

Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier
Did you ask Penon to skip the black paracord? I believe Totem cable / interconnect is covered in black paracord (which is a shame, because your interconnect is so much nicer looking!)- Zachik
