In my experience it’s still an issue so far. The good news is that UAPP devs seem to be pretty attentive and may fix the issue soon. As a workaround I’ve been using Fiio’s music app which I find to be pretty good. That issue aside, I find this little player to be pretty remarkable and a very...

Actually, it's just one seller that is (likely mistakenly) stating they have Sonion drivers. Now that I'm looking at some of the images, it looks like they are all Knowles. Carry on - nothing to see here!

I have a set of these coming as well. I couldn't resist after the detailed comparison @AmericanSpirit made to the SA6, Variations and others. Great stuff. I did notice that the Penon page states that the SR5 contains 4 Knowles BA's whereas on Ali Express it's stating that the SR5 contains 2...

I received the IE200 today. *PSA: don’t throw in the towel after trying all the stock tips. In my experience the stock tips would simply not work for my ears. For whatever reason, I could not get a seal and the bass extension was non-existent. Moreover, the treble was brittle and grainy. I...

Oh interesting. I think this is the sort of explanation I was looking for. Thanks for this

I should preface by saying that I really like Crinacle, both as a person (based solely on YouTube vids) and as a reviewer, if only for his knowledge and access to headphones and IEM's. But I'm not clear on what the "Technical Ranking" is. I would have to think that the only people capable of...

Have you tried any other pads on the Atty? I'd be interested in peoples observations on the Eikon, Universe, Auteur and Verite pads on the Atticus - assuming that all of these are swappable. I'm not sure if the dimensions of all the ZMF phones would allow for this.

Well, I don't mind if I do welcome myself to the ZMF Atticus club! The Atticus came home today just a few hours ago. Since then, I've been listening to various genres - in particular some Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, a few rap songs. It sounds incredible with everything, of course. It has a real...

I also have the hi-x55. The best synergy I have found with it is directly from the HipDac (often with bass boost) and I suppose it would sound similar from the ZenDac. That said, good luck and YMMV of course.

Double amping is not the greatest idea. However, if it is something you want to do, you may to avoid maxing out the HipDac as this could introduce some distortion. Going from either the 3.5mm or 4.4mm out to a standard 3.5mm TRS AUX in will work. If you are looking for a different sound flavor...

FWIW, I was able to grab the L4 for 5% off on the Linsoul eBay store today. Only owning the Voyager 3 (which I think is great), I’m looking forward to hearing these. Now, I’m not sure if this was a “targeted” eBay discount, or if it’s available to all. Might be worth a look if you are in the...

I recently received the R5 Saber. Which is cool, because I ordered the R5 and may have gotten this by mistake, or, the Ali Express seller ran out of the color I ordered in the OG and had to send the R5S? Can't complain though. One thing that I thought was very cool, was that the R5S comes with...

I think it is, in fact, due to the cup resonances as you say. They sound quite neutral to me - not perfectly so, but much moreso than the wonky graph would indicate.

I should probably comment on this thread, since I've been using these phones daily for the last couple of months. I could not be happier with them, but I think I can add some insight into the issue with the varying opinions. Some truths: - they are extremely revealing. The level of resolution...

To my ears, the 01 lacks micro details that I’m clearly hearing in the 03. I’m guessing that I may have had expectations that were a bit too high, maybe unfairly so. The 01 is fine - great even - in the price bracket. However the 03 is simply better. Better timbre, control and dynamics, on my...

Just wanted to pop in and say that I love the hip-dac. I got one recently to fill a couple of use cases. 1) I wanted a portable solution that I could move to different places in the house, ie, dining room, living room, when I’m not at my main rig but working on my laptop or just browsing on the...

Whizzer A15 Beyerdynamic Xelento - probably the OG.

These are simply outstanding. Great texture and control. The sub bass is deep and impactful and completely free of distortion while the clarity up to 10k (and beyond) is outstanding. I would describe them as L shaped at gunpoint, but that’s not quite accurate, in that they have great air and...

Assuming the variances in decibel levels don’t make a difference (I have no idea) and the switches are set the same on each IEM, then that is pretty disappointing to see. I would expect the CIEM to measure differently though. That said, it’s probably more common then people would like to think...

I much prefer 00 on the Voyager 3.Unfortunately I find it gets too sibilant with switch 2 up and iIt sounds closer to Andro that way anyways. As popular as the Andro is; there's people that don't like them either. I'd advise against turning on an entire brand based on personal opinions of one or...

Fiio, although its been mentioned already please allow me to reiterate that sort by “album artist” is an important option for many. Please make it happen! It is incredibly annoying to sort by artist - play an LP, then realise that half the tracks are missing due to featured artists, and have to...

BL-05 is by no means a failure. It's simply a different sound signature and whether or not you prefer it always comes down to preference. Are you a Porta Pro or a KSC 75 person? If you are the former, you'll prefer the 03 and the latter may prefer the 05. The build and fit are far superior on...

These are absolutely phenomenal. Also, this is very interesting:

And just like that DHL tracking shows up in my mail. The squeaky wheel gets the grease! Still, I’d like to see Linsoul improve on their communication. Simply a courtesy email to all who’ve ordered something that has been delayed would be much appreciated and would go a long way. That said...
