I have a pair of V1 monks, brand new unopened monk plus, zen white dragons, and shozy stardust 4.4mm balanced if you are interested. DM me

For what it’s worth not sure if this thread is still alive, but I believe the Questyle CMA400i is using the 4490 dac chip as well.. From all the great things I’ve heard I found one for a pretty good deal. Depending on the sound I think this might become my new reference. What do you guys...

This Emotiva combo satisfies Head-fi & Hifi

I like your set up! I have also been working off of a studio cart for the last year. So much simpler when you can rack everything.. I will have to post some pictures when I get them edited :beerchug:

Anyone here still using TY Hi Z 650 earbuds? Pulled mine out to start using again and was curious if there are any new competitors around? Nothing wrong with them per se, quite enjoyable when amped properly. Its probably worth noting I already own an og monk, custom zen 2 and stardust or...

Anyone have experience with the Emotiva Basx A-100 amp? I just purchased one for use as a single ended reference amp.

I have seen that around but never considered it. I like that it's balanced! Do you have one on hand?

I am interested in these balanced R70x cables you speak of. Can you share a link, of offer any impressions? I have to agree, but a new cable especially balanced is not a bad upgrade to make :k701smile:

Sorry, let me rephrase.. If the HP-650 was a full size headphone it would have more low end than the HD-600.

I personally haven't heard the Sennheiser HD-650, but owned the HD-600's and would say they are more less very similar in signature with maybe a tad more low end on the HP-650 (than HD-600). If the HD-650 sounds like the 600 with more bass, then yes I would say that is pretty accurate reference.

HP-650 is a good all arounder, I have using them daily at work (idsd micro bl) for the last few months. I will say compared to other TOTL they sound a tad thin in the mid range, but have a nice balance id say from top to bottom. This is my happy medium between Shozy BK and Zen 2.0. Just bear in...

This is correct

What is this modded tunes or tunes mod I am hearing about? Is that the white pair?

Does anyone own or has heard the Astrotec Collection model? I really want to get a Mojito but am very hesitant given the qc. Are their any Mojito alternatives? I am seeking an earbud with a neutral signature that extends both ways (ie sub bass and expansive sound stage) but is balanced and has...

It was! but.. the memory of it was soooo annoying lol Honestly I re-cabled them because I dropped my dap with them plugged in and bent the 2.5mm connector :expressionless: I will say they sound a touch brighter, but hard to say. I will have to do some more listening tonight! Dangg.. I...

I would like to be the first to go on record with a custom Shozy BK :ksc75smile: Instead of buying new earbuds, I am refining the ones I already own and turning them into one of a kind, masterpieces I am calling them The Black Knights..

Lol, it very may be advanced BS! As limited as they made the metal versions, I would be surprised if they did that again. Dont get me wrong though, I honestly have no reason to hate on the opus 1. It has been great and I have had zero issues.. Except for the whole usb dac thing..

Ultimate portable rig Lotoo Pico --> TY Hi-z 650

The 1s is still being made with abs plastic...? I think i will hold on to my metal #1, for principle if nothing else.

Hey Paul, Not much has changed, I am not sure what else to try. I left it plugged in overnight to charge and it still wouldn't turn on. I did notice I could get it to turn on when plugged in but it dies before I get a chance to listen. Great device, non the less. Thanks!

Balanced is the way to go! That is if you have the gear to support it. I am very curious as to how the Diomnes Lvl 2 turns out. Do you have any photos?? I haven't heard them yet, but I have a feeling they will be the last totl for my collection.

how do i delete posts?

Most definitely, I just ordered the heigi donuts off amazon, should be here tomorrow. I only have experience with the foams that have come with my buds (ve expack, monks, stardust, ty hi-z 650). They are all pretty similar if you ask me. I think the only variation is, thick/thin, donut/full...

Yeah i did, it is an eidolic barrel with a matching cable splitter. Too be honest I didn't listen to them a whole lot before recabling. I can definitely tell the mids changed for the better, i am still experimenting a little with foam. I will have more impressions the more I listen.
