64 Audio U12T vs Sony IER-7 how far apart are they sonically?
A little history, I've been searching for the one IEM that I can settle on. And it's been a heck of a journey, every IEM I've tried either had fit issues or something about the sound that just bugged me. I don't know what the kind of "signature/tuning" that I like in an IEM (more like i can't...- mrconfuse

Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000
Do you guys use replay gain on it? Been searching for this answer and so far not having much luck. The way I I understand (replay gain) it to work is create a playlist, add songs to play list, select all the songs, run replay gain on all songs on that play list. My question is, what if you later...- mrconfuse

For owners of AStell & Kern Players that have replay gain, I need some help
on the SR25 MKII, you have to create a playlist, add songs to the list, select the songs and then apply replay gain. The more songs you have the longer it takes. Now the question, if I have playlist (about 40 songs) where replay gain was already applied. I add 2 more new songs to the same list...- mrconfuse

Replaygain on Astell and Kern player
Since the replaygain is applied on the playlist. if you add a new song to the playlist (after replaygain was set already) do you have to rerun replaygain again on the whole playlist? or do you just apply replaygain on the one song that you just added?- mrconfuse

Replay Gain on digital players, how do they work?
Some players like (Astell & Kern) have replay gain built into the player. Do you still need to have your files tagged for replay gain to have an effect? I know on a computer the replaygain is ignored unless the file itself has been tag with replay gain I notice that Cowon has this called A.I...- mrconfuse

Is the FiiO M11 Plus LTD better or equal to the AK Kann Alpha in SQ?
As the title states, is the Fiio M11 plus LTD as good as the Kann Alpha or is the Kann alpha better in the terms of SQ? Would any consider Fiio M11 as a mid tier or above based on SQ?- mrconfuse

ibasso DX160 is this normal or is my defective
There are 2 sleep timers on the unit, one that is under the display setting and then the sleep timer within the Ibasso music app which actually powers off the unit. I will try disabling the sleep timer under the display setting and see what happens. Thanks- mrconfuse

Do different DACS sound different?
it always made me wonder how good is a top end dac/amp/source vs a mid tier dac/ampsource. Take away from all the aesthetics and just by SQ/performance alone, how much of a jump is it really. Everytime a review is made it always makes the newer version seem that much more amazing. A lot of times...- mrconfuse

Why high end headphones (and IEMs) are (mostly) hype.
When social media and word of mouth became a bigger hype machine than the magazines. As someone already mentioned before, send out the new product to as many hype man as possible to generate buzz. There will never be a true independent review unless the product was purchased by the...- mrconfuse
