Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread
Qobuz 8.0.0 is available, at least in beta. Biggest changes to the Qobuz UI in an age. While there maybe a few quirks that irritate some, I am really pleased to see that you can now organise your library in a simplified way by Artist, like pretty much every other app ever. Makes handling a... -

You could also try tip rolling to tame the brightness. Definitely works with my Ie900. Too bright and fatiguing with AZLA SednaEarfit MAX, but spot on with Spiral Dots.- dgjl

The Dx260 improves in body and weight after 100 hours or so. The difference will probably still be there, but might be less...- dgjl

The three are quite different. FiiO M15s has the fullest and warmest sound, but is big and heavy. The DX260 is bright, highly detailed and musical, and also small and light, but can be fatiguing with revealing IEMs. The R6Pro is technically adept and sprightly with a lovely screen, but has a...- dgjl

Reply to review by 'dgjl' on item 'iBasso DX260 Digital Audio Player'
"The M15S is the least digital sounding FiiO DAP, with a surpassingly natural timbre, but the DX260 has a more refined and resolving treble which is devoid from any digital glare, unlike that of the M15S that can show some tiny bits of artificiality" Exactly the opposite of my experience. M15s...- dgjl

Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread
It's simple enough. Go to settings then imports/downloads to choose your quality. Then go to settings/storage to choose your internal or external memory. Then you are good to go. All you have to do is select an album or a playlist and click the little down arrow icon below the album/song title... -

Reply to review by 'dgjl' on item 'Questyle M15i — Mobile Headphone Amp & DAC'
I'm a bit confused by this review - the opening sentence implies that the 15i is something quite new and ahead of the competition and the next sentence says it sounds almost the same as the previous model. Are there meaningful differences between the 15i and the 15? Also, it would be helpful to...- dgjl

The M15s edges the iBasso dx260 for me - will be interested to see how the M23 measures up in that kind of company!- dgjl

They are both great. In my experience, the M15S is kinder on poorly recorded music. I found the dx260 is a little harsh - more transparent, yes, and a touch more detailed, but the DX260 has an edge that could prove fatiguing, especially for the kind of music you are talking about. The M15S is a...- dgjl

Best DAP for streaming (only) - interface, wi-fi stability, ease of use, etc.
It's solid alright, but that's what gives it it's extra oomph. It's still pocketable even so.- dgjl

Ibasso dx260 or fiio M15s. Both terrific in all the ways you seem to want.- dgjl

Tip rolling can be a long journey with any IEM. Search this thread for some good ideas. Personally stocks don't fit my ears. I get terrific results from Spinfits and AZLA SednaEarfit MAX.- dgjl
