Hey! I came back to head-fi at a good time! Heard the c9 last time but didn’t buy due to having DX220max. Now I get to watch the c9 ii development and get to decide if I go iBasso stack or Cayin stack. Go product development! Also, let me join Canada product tour if there’s one🫡

Hello warrenpachi! Thank you for the advice, but open back CIEM's seems inadvisable to use in a windy city like the one I live in. I checked their website, and MEMS-2 is more commute-friendly. Do y'allthink the MEMS-2 is a good alternative to the KSE1500?

Hello watercooler people! I've been out of the scene for years but just dropped by to ask if there's a good modern alternative for Shure KSE1500? Replaceable cables and no dedicated dac/amp would be nice convenience. Or do I just buy another one?

Thank you for the input. I'll try the DX160.

So I'm starting to find the iBasso MAX series to be on the heavy side now that I've started biking in earnest. Do you guys have a recommendation for a more portable DAP with the same level of technicality and separation as the MAX series but with less power for cIEMs? Looking to pair it with an...

Hello guys, Does anyone have the problem of having to re-scan their internal/SD card memory every time you power on the 220Max? What are the solutions?

Hello guys! What is this W & EX mod you all talking about? Does it make for substantial improvements for low impedance cIEMs?

I reformatted the SD and re-uploaded my songs. It updated now. Thanks.
