  1. iFi audio ZEN Signature Set - DAC & Amp

    5.00 star(s)
    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...

    Hi, I used the J3 with vsonic gr07, sony ex1000 and don't think it is a very good sounding PMP.
  3. 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...
  4. Audeze LCD2 Planar Magnetic Headphones

    5.00 star(s)
    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 )...
  5. Sony XBA-4SL

    4.50 star(s)
    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.
  6. JVC/Victor FX700

    4.00 star(s)
    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...

    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
  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...
