    Reply to review by 'AuralQuest' on item 'Hiby FC6'

    The Cayin DACs [RU6, RU7] have both balanced and unbalanced sockets, however the Hiby FC6 is only 3.5mm SE.

    Dan Clark Audio (DCA) STEALTH and EXPANSE Impressions Thread

    @dougq Success. I factory reset my RME ADi-2 FS. Then, I went into my "Phones" settings (for the 6.5mm socket), and when I choose the "Hi-Power" to be ON, then, at volume -25 to -22 dB is already loud for me. This setting was 'greyed out', before and maybe it was a bug with my RME. Now...

    Dan Clark Audio (DCA) STEALTH and EXPANSE Impressions Thread

    My RME ADI2-FS is the v1 (there were a total 3 versions). After I got it, I reset the factory settings (from memory!), and I updated the firmware. I just updated the firmware, about 15-minutes ago, to the latest 2024-03-01 version. I will clear the profile and/or factory reset it, and try it...

    Dan Clark Audio (DCA) STEALTH and EXPANSE Impressions Thread

    You don't think the RME ADi-2 FS is a good amplifier ? It's very capable and it can blow my IEMs, if I'm not careful with the volume. @dougq Since I posted in this thread, I got thinking and I just discovered something interesting. I only have a 4.4mm balanced cable for my DCA Stealth. I...

    Dan Clark Audio (DCA) STEALTH and EXPANSE Impressions Thread

    Well, I know with my other IEMs (ThieAudio, 64 Audio, Softears, etc.), I would not go past -12 dB even,...as it was so loud already. So, with the Stealth, I was surprised that I hit the "max volume" at +6 dB, unless my settings aren't right, ie. there's a "floor" that I can set the EQ or...

    Dan Clark Audio (DCA) STEALTH and EXPANSE Impressions Thread

    I just found this query, and I have a query regarding the DCA Stealth. I've had the Stealth for a short while now, and it's fairly unused. The few times that I listened to it, I found it "hard" to drive, ie. I use a RME ADI-2 FS DAC (but I use a 3.5mm jack, to 4.4mm female for the Stealth's...

    The Softears Turii Ti has fantastic top-tier musicality, but also amazingly expensive too.

    What is the best single DD IEM available today?

    I will say it's the Softears Turii Ti. It's amazingly musical for a DD :dt880smile: but also amazingly pricey ! :rolling_eyes:

    Poll: What is the best single DD IEM you can buy today?

    IE600 is good for the price, but IE900 can be better, as it has "improvements" over the IE600, over all of the bass, mids & treble. Either way, both are: - quite V-shaped tuning - very well made, with metal shells - extremely comfortable to wear

    Meze Audio 109 Pro

    Just on that write-up alone, makes me want to seriously listen to the 109 Pro. I had never considered Meze nor the 109 Pro, on my list, but stumbling upon this thread, just makes me even more curiouser!

    Meze Audio 109 Pro

    Can you compare the Meze 109 with the Meze Liric ? I know it's comparing open-back with closed-back, but I wanted to see if there were any thoughts about that, because recently I i only got to demo the 99 Neo (which I instantly did not like: too warm) and the Liric was simply fantastic sounding...
