You're endorsing the EBX, are you?

No Svara L sale for 11.11 yet. EBX is like 50% off though

Easy. Get EBX while it's on sale. You can get Svara L later as its price probably won't change.

I'm too poor! And after the "depth" size comparisons a few pages back I was looking forward to the Svaras. Only bud I was interested in for 11.11 actually (unless some random good looking diy pk shell goes on sale)

I just recieved the Linsoul DTM A8 earbuds which have mmcx connectors. Very nice they are. Those are cut down pk1 shells

Nice find, would like to hear more feedback on that one, if it's worth the nearly $40 price difference (probably not if all he did was change the cable and used the same driver and everything else).


That shell is my favourite so far and I don't understand why more sellers aren't using that shell instead of the mediocre MX500 shell, I'm fairly certain it's a cheap shell too considering the price of the H180 or Qian39.

Have asked for some more details about this as I'm curious too

EDIT: @theresanarc Got this back from Rholupat, does this answer your question?

11. sale is starting and it seems my main 2 target, the EBX and K's 300 Samsara is within my range (sadly not both since I also need a new monitor):

I think this is the K's Samsara? around 100 bux for the 300:

I don't have any particular sound sig, though I would like it if the mids are not recessed (usually not a problem with earbuds)

in terms of sonic qualities, which would be best, NiceHCK EBX at $82 or the K's 300 Samsara at $100/115 (the 2 options are cables, not sure what the effects are)?

Maybe try emailing the seller and asking if/when they will be going on sale, or if they would provide you with a discount. Never hurts to try

Those seem intriguing. When you can, please let me know how they compare with the 150's. Thanks!

Not sure whether there is anyone is still interested on the Crystalcore Audio DIY-brand or not. Here is my brief impression. Last week, I did trial-listening Super Kryptonite 32 Ohm. The brand owner brought it together with SWD2+, and let me back and forth trail-listening between both. Super Kryptonite 32 Ohm is more all-rounder and energetic overall frequency impact than SWD2+. While SWD2+ does more focus on vocal with thicker and bigger vocal&bass imaging in a trade of worse instuments&vocal positioning. For example, when listening a music track having 3+ singers or instruments waving sound from left to right and vice versa. Super Kryponite did it distinctly outperform. Personally I prefer Super Krytonite over SWD2+.

The Linsoul DTM A8 have a much bassier sound signature although mids and treble are fine

you are very smart

FAAEAL Datura-X RIP. The right earbud has had issues with the front popping off randomly, but the innards came out today as well and they're not staying put. Right earbud driver's probably kaput. For sturdy metal earbuds they really don't hold up well. Press F to pay respects.

Thanks again. Do you notice the difference also when streaming 320kbps music, or when playing 16/44.1 flac files? I think the answer you're going to give me is "yes".

The difference I notice is the detail is buttery smooth and coherent on lossless. I didn't think I'd be able to discern a difference but i did a test between 128 mp3, 320mp3 and lossless flac and i got 5/6 correct for lossless.

320 is better than 128 for sure, but lossless is just the icing on the cake. It sounds fuller and smoother but with all the detail present.

I'll still use spotify at 320 but i definitely hear the benefit of lossless and if given the choice would opt for it everytime.

The V30 is awesome. Best-sounding DAP south of $1000, and best UI of any DAP at any price.
And you can find them second-hand these days for around $250.

I agree the v30 sounds phenomenal, if it had a built in parametric EQ id never want to use another device. The sound is just sooo good.

Sold my R6 and cayin n5ii for the v20 and now got the v30+ which to me is the better dap overall.

128gb internal + SD slot... Plenty of space.

Fyi, we were discussing "in the context of LDAC codec versus HWA/LHDC codec".
