Because i am doing a lot of TRPG Sessions as a GM and was looking for a proper solution to remotely control the music on the players side (which is important to me as it adds a lot to the atmosphere), i discovered the joy of console music players. My current TRPG Soluton is an MPD Server that i...

Would you buy a painting based on the material of the canvas, the paint and the brushes used? Do you even care what materials the artists use? Normally you buy a painting based on the final result and not by the materials used in the process. Strange comparison, but that is how, at least my...

Its a screenshot from crinacles compare tool, the top headphone is the IER-Z1R, the bottom one is the FiiO FA9 Maybe its coincidence, but i highly doubt that a Balanced Armature Knowles SWKF-31736 driver performs that close to a Dynamic Sony 5mm driver That doesn't mean that frequency response...

My girlfriend is lung transplanted and some of her medicine she have to take through inhalation She uses the eFlow Rapid from PARI (https://www.pari.com/de/produkte/lunge/eflow-rapid-inhalationssystem/) for that use case and according to the company, this device is quiet. It works with am...

After quite some time of frustrating researching, i give up and hope that maybe someone here can explain it to me. Speaker diaphragm, why am i asking. The MDR-Z7M2 does have a aluminum Coated LCP diaphragm. The MDR-Z1R does have the same diaphragm, but replaced the dome with an magnesium alloy...

I bought an NW-WM1Z for a very good price (demo model) and because it was a demo model, it is in an rather... let's say okay condition. Nothing major, especially the display is like new, but the gold is damaged in several places. I've seen a lot of people are doing modding on the NW-WM1A and...

Until now i mostly use Over Ear Headphones (MDR-Z7M2 and recently MDR-Z1R) on my ZX507 and i am pretty satisfied. Because, especially for sports, i wanted an good In-Ear, i bought an XBA-Z5 roughly a year ago and it is the most rarely used Headphone i have. Initially it had an pretty bloated...

There is a strong myth that LDAC doesn't work on PC, i heard it like 100 times and read it several times here on the forum. LDAC does not work on Windows, nor macOS, but LDAC does work on Android/AOSP (what is Linux) and because of that, it does work on Linux PCs too...

Holy Moly, i just bought some Remastered Albums from Agalloch (The White EP and The Mantle) and they are awesome. Normally i am _very_ careful and cautious with Remasters because normaly they are just totally assed up. But oh my good are the good. First of all, they are much finer and much...

For the Linux Users here, i noticed that all Applications that use GStreamer (which are all GNOME Applications and KDE if you decide for GStreamer as an Phonon Backend) have worse Sound Quality. Afair they even opened a bug report now but if anyone here is using Linux to listen to music...

It seems like they don't want your money, i don't know where to start. Lets start with the good, the bad, the ugly, the worst. The Good: Some Japanese Artists release their albums outside of Japan, you just buy it and you're done. They are available in CD Quality (16bit/44.1KHz FLAC) or in...

I recently tested several headphones with balanced armature drivers like the Sony IER-Z1R and maybe i just had bad luck, but for me they all sound like i'm listening to music using a tin can or an hearing aid (not that i need one, hearing test attested very good hearing at -5db) I tried several...
