The discovery thread!
The Xuan NV is probably HBB's best tuned 2DD set by far IMO, it balances neutrality and HBBs signature warmth the best in the budget range- kesobie

The discovery thread!
Agreed! These are not for critical listening, instead for long listening sessions and it's an amazing IEM for that. I can't wait for their prototype either, I heard so many good things about it!- kesobie

HiBy W3 II: CS43131 Bluetooth Dongle DAC
Based on specs, it's just 95mw. But for most of the IEMs I used this on, I didn't really feel a big compromise with how tight the bass is while keeping body. Obviously it's not as expensive wired dongles, but it's really good for Bluetooth- kesobie
