    Rhapsodio thread

    I'm hoping to find more information about the Infinity Plus & Infinity Ultra @Solarsammy. I'm looking at one of these IEMs for my last purchase before taking a break from Head-Fi. I'd appreciate any input regarding the sound signature. I'm hoping to pair it with some warm leaning sources.

    QDC Emperor Is Now in Stock

    I absolutely love the Hiby R8II! The QDC Emperor looks interesting. I'd like to hear more about this IEM @MusicTeck.

    Love the entire catalog, The Vent, 2000 & Beyond, Moon & Stars Remix, Mary Jane (Spaced Out), Hometown Hero, Me & My Old School, too many to mention that all resonate with me.

    Hi, I'm interested in suggestions for a desktop DAC Amp setup with no audible noise floor (black background) for sensitive IEMs

    I'm sure there is a thread for SMSL DACs here on Head-Fi. Happy hunting and enjoy the music!

    Going to try the rest of my IEMs this weekend with the R8II. So far, I have nothing but positive impressions. I'm very impressed with the R8ii. Everything about it is A1 to me. When I'm genuinely excited about a component in this manner, it's safe to say this is a keeper. Outstanding job Hiby!

    Ahhh, metal is definitely not my speed. I appreciate you adding that additional context. The Mentor was doing everything I wanted it to do and then some for R&B, Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop, Chill, Blues, Afrobeat etc. I can totally understand and appreciate why you would favor the EE Raven over the...

    Looking forward to reading your impressions from the show if you care to share. There are a few IEMs I don't have access to that I'd love to try with the R8II. The U18s, Volรผr, QDC Anole V14/Emperor, Kinera Imperial Verdandi, all the Campfire IEMs, Noble Kublai Khan, and everything Empire Ears...

    Going to have to try that sometime this year. My first encounter with the Raven at CanJam SoCal 2023 left much to be desired. I listened to at least 3 dozen IEMs prior to hearing it. So I'd have to give that another chance with fresh ears to gain a proper impression.

    Hi, I'm interested in suggestions for a desktop DAC Amp setup with no audible noise floor (black background) for sensitive IEMs

    I previously owned an SU-9 DAC and SH-9 Amp, the background sounded as if the unit wasn't powered on.. So I think that would be worth checking out. It won't break your bank for the SU-9 + SH-9 combo.. They were neutral enough.

    Thank you @Newsee! Their software has changed so much since the R6 Pro.. I'm loving my R8II so far.
