Party on.

My Topping has served me flawlessly in the6 orso months that I've owned it but the original Atom was also a Giant killer fwir - flip a coin :)

I doubt that there will be a refresh, but I'm sure ShenzhenAudio will keep us in the loop. Mine is still working perfectly, and that's all I ask of it - I've been down the rabbit hole too many times with incremental upgrades that have been hyped to death on HF and elsewhere.

OK, I'm not going to spend too much time going over timestamps on various posts in this thread, but a brief glance at the COVID stats for Singapore would seem to indicate that the island currently has the virus under control. Great - we did too, right up until Australia's second-largest state...

https://tinyurl.com/2xrv48jb 219 AUD shipped seems steep but I'm happy - ordered Monday and had it by Friday (express shipping), well packed and I've had zero problems to date. By contrast, I'm still waiting for the geniuses at Amazon UK to ship a pair of headphones I ordered 2 weeks ago - I...

Rough estimate is now around the 50 hour mark - as a HPA and a pre into my little speaker amp - and I have zero complaints so I'll return to logging in every few months just to see where the goalposts are in this crazy hobby ;)

(Android phone -> LDAC -> BTR5 -> L30 -> DT880-250) 6 hours in and I'm happy so far - about the only initial impression is that the word 'smooth' in other folks' posts is exactly what I'm hearing. Its a cool day here but the L30 is barely even warm to the touch - I doubt that I would have been...

I voted with my wallet despite the warnings - the L30 is cheaper than both the Atom and the Heresy here in Oz. The reseller has assured me that their stock are 'brand new' from Topping, and given the impact CNY has on deliveries from sources outside Australia, I wasn't about to argue. Delivery...

It appears that the bubble will swell further before busting. GameStop has recovered all the losses it saw in Thursday trading after Robinhood and other broker’s limits trading on highly short squeezed stocks. What’s more, shares of Koss Corporation soared almost 90% in Friday trading while AMC...

https://www.stockopedia.com/share-prices/koss-NAQ:KOSS/ I get that the focus on Head-Fi is on spending thousands rather than making millions but the subreddit that sparked this madness is (apparently) currently causing a ruckus with the big boys on Wall St. They've used a very interesting...

I hear ya but that would almost certainly limit attendance to locals and possibly Malaysians (my assumption). Best they can offer us in Oz is a trans-Tasman 'bubble' with NZ and even that is mooted for September. Stay safe and hopefully 2021 will see a return to normal for everyone.

250 people ? Luxury ; Roll on August - we're being told to stay home till October here in Oz. Happy trails ppl.

Hi All, I've lurked on the fringes of this crazy hobby for over a decade and I hate to admit it, but spending more money hasnt always given be better results. Suffice to say that I've owned better gear than I own now, but there was always something that niggled me about headphones like...

I would add that one of the weirdest sensations in that test is the way my hearing just cuts out at 15kHz even though the numbers keep climbing : it didn't feel so bad in the bass test but that might simply have been my amp : I'll leave that to the engineers.

Hi All, When a certain engineer started making waves re the markup on audio gear, one of his biggest gripes was that men who were well past 50 were making calls on some very expensive audio gear despite the fact that they couldnt possibly still hear many of the frequencies a CD is...
