When you say crazy, how crazy 🤪

Yes, I also love this combination. I find the Mullard tube just gives it that little edge otherwise the sound is too technically perfect:)

Brilliant explanation!

New was originally HK$25K now about HK$20K in DMA HK The Darwin Architecture is something very unique for RS8. Exactly, it's hard to improve further on this since there is so much you can tweak on this to tune to your own taste. I just want to say this DAP is one of the best releases of DAPs in...

I did a search on RS8 and now the prices have dropped I got one. I am impressed by the sound for this price. The RS8 certainly makes it sound more musical with the Turbo mode on and high gain. I like this a lot and think it's great value. I ran some low grade IEMs on it and it made it certainly...

Love the sound of Mullard tubes. Telefunken tubes sounds too technically sterile sometimes needs a change. 🥳 You got the Ti? How does it compare with the Storm, may I ask?

The thing I missed was testing my own songs on it. I had bought my SD card but couldn’t get it to work on it. So next time I will bring a few different formatted SD cards to make sure. Also bring a different set of IEMs. 👍. Saying this the LP6 range just has this fuller sound which I still love...

Great and fair review, I only heard it once and not enough time to test it fully. First impressions is it is very small and portable and packs a punch for such a small unit. I already have the TI99 which is hard for me to buy another wonderful DAP. It’s is thinner than the TI99 as well. LP...

I’ve been using the P6Pro TI99 on the road for some time now since the launch, I have to say the battery life is just amazing. I swear I can get over 20 hours on this thing if not more. The battery bar just stays there near 100% even after 3 hours. Have I got a faulty machine. 😜

I could not agree more. I had a number of my friends suddenly dying in the last few years. Non of them made it over 55. That’s when I realized how fragile life is. I started to not hold back and trying to live my life to the fullest and try never to complain about life hence I started to do my...

Great write up. I am auditioning this today. I will update on my impressions 😜

I had that same Eureka moment on the Traillii Ti hence made me buy it;)

Thanks for the comparison. I've also read Twister6's review. It's weird the price of R2R RS8 is considerably more expensive to the Delta-sigma RS8ii. Therefore I am wondering why such a difference. It would be good to see how RS8ii compares with SP3000. I do like the RS8ii price though.

First Origa I've seen for a long time:) What tube you using inside?

It's in HK already I believe.:)

I’ve tried the R8 once in the shops but really wanted to take one home to put it through my tests. I must say first impressions are very good. Do you have other DAPs to compare this to? What do you like about it?

Have you tried Vision Ears Erlkonig or Black Erlkonig? If you do let us know how it compares with the Odin?

Chilling with my Sunday setup

Yes, love the SGP food. Must fly back there sometime:)

The SQ on the this set up is already next to non so I have to put in a Mullard tube into the Origa to just balance it out and give is a slightly warmer and thicker sound. I had the rare telefunken tube which just sounds crazy and will bring any lower class DAP back up a level when paired with...

It's just a great portable DAP. The amazing thing is the great sound in such a small light package and the battery life is insane. This is the DAP that I bring everywhere with me on the road.

Anyone tried this Pico Origa tube amp.

Whose going to Canjam Shanghai 8-9 June?

TBH, I don't even look at the like count proportion. No one gives me any respect here, if I say things which people don't agree on, I get blasted on like everyone else. To me it's a hobby, it's not personal. You sound like a newbie here. BTW I have nothing against what you say, I just reply...

I have a bit of OCD. When the IEM is not in my ears, I hate seeing the 4.4 connector plugged in and sticking out.;)
