iFi audio ZEN Signature Set - DAC & Amp
So it has been a few months since I bought the Zen dac Signature. Today I have just got the Zen can 6xx. It looks gorgeous in reality. I connect the dac to the amp via 4.4 to 4.4 balanced cable and use a 4.4 to mini xlr cable with my LCD2 rev2. Here is my quick impression of the Ifi zen 6xx combo (the Zen dac sig is on firmware 5.3c) 1. It have a sweet sound. There is no glare or distortion that makes me irritated (like the sounds from almost Schiit stacks I owned) 2. Though the bass is delicious and full on the 6xx eq setting there is no... -
COWON J3 32 GB Portable Media Player (Black)
Hi, I used the J3 with vsonic gr07, sony ex1000 and don't think it is a very good sounding PMP. -
Schiit Mjolnir
Headphone: LCD-2 rev2 Comparition amp: Schitt Asgard v1 I can't tell how much i love my new Schiit amp - the Mjolnir. However, i remember the mids on my LCD-2 was more thick and blooming previously IMO. Maybe it causes by adding a bulk of quality and quantity into 2 top-end regions. And i also feel there is a little stretching in high regions. You know, it is as a singer trying to sing very high notes but it is not her strength (obviously not Mariah Carey ^^! ) She can still perform OK, but you will feel it is slightly overdoes and not natural... -
Audeze LCD2 Planar Magnetic Headphones
Pros of Audeze LCD-2 R2: 1. Midrange (natural, detail, seduction..->phenomenal mids makes even harshest rock or terrible mordern electronic pop sound super smooth and emotional/touchy but still full of energy) 2. Treble (oudstanding quality and natural treble, slightly lacks the quantity though) 3.Bass (Very detailed, fast, tight and powerful bass. Although I know it will be hard to implement this for such an open and top-tier hi-fi headphone, BUT a little more kick, impact, solid at mid-bass and bigger amount at sub-bass would become perfect )... -
Sony XBA-4SL
If i rate the W4 is 10/10, Xba-4 is 8/10. The W4s are Ok at every expect but lie down a setback note from the W4s ability. Only one thing which the Xba-4 is better than the W4 that is: the Xba do not have the zz zzz sibilance sound.. The biggest issue on this new Sony flagship iem is having a freak noise when playing music and the smaller one is no-unique sound signature. -
JVC/Victor FX700
Well, i am a bass-addict and though the bass on this JVC's flagship iem is really outstanding, i really can not love it unless i am considering this bass separately. Yeah, it will be the most iem's subwoofer-likeness bass if it is standing alone. But in this case of the FX700s, the bass affects too much at the mids once you listen to a (semi)heavy bass song. For example: jpop, kpop, hiphop, dance and even R&B =.= Besides, the general sound of the FX700 is too thick, too color (not dark though) and seriously lack of the detail in the mids, esp in... -

VSONIC GR07
Update on my 2nd time purchasing the GR07 in March 2013.. ...more about the GR07: warm mids IMHO: Sound: 8/10 (compared to the best iems i have ever had was W4 and Ex1000 10/10) p/p: 10/10 -
Denon aha 100
The first,i want to say "hi" to all of headfi-er here and i'm sorry about my bad English cuz i from Vietnam. So , i will make my 1st review as short as possible in order to avoid the vast of error grammars that always occur every time i try to write a refined long english passage :d I have previously owned a pair of Vsonic Gr07,the Bose in-ear and listend to the Beats Solo by Dr. Dre On-Ear, the yuin pk2s and the soundmagic pl30s. Seriously, it is not fair to compare a IEM vs a fullsize(Denon a100 is portable-fullsize thought) but i feel the Beat...
