NEW Brise Audio FUGAKU - The world's first Ultimate Portable Audio System
Ok, so there's litteraly 1 amp section per driver... crazy and mind-numbing. And also, very, very, VERY specialized (unless your other IEMs have the same driver configuration, crossovers and frequencies ranges....)- TheDecline01

Cayin N7: A Voyager of Unexplored Frontier
After an aeon passed...: My bad, you're right, there are different formats out there. What I meant should have been: "Well, music is supposed to be recorded using high res PCM wat above 96kHz sampling / DSD/DXD (I hope I'm correct because I'm not really familiar with formats and processes)...- TheDecline01

The Enleum HPA-23RM Discussion Thread
I second that, at least for the parts that I know ^^, meaning Tsu and Enleum HPA-23RM. I have never heard the 475 nor the Oor. I was fortunate enough to listen to both, though not at the same time unfortunately so no direct comparisons, and that comment is pretty much spot on with my own...- TheDecline01

Elysian Annihilator 2023
I would seriously try first using a multi BA (among others) IEM on the Enleum HPA-23RM before considering buying it for this sole purpose since its current output seriously messes things up with dynamic drivers and their non-linear impedance. What about using the voltage output? Well, I don't...- TheDecline01

About the A8000, never forget that these are (at least for me and another person I know) reeaaaaaal difficult to get a perfect/good fit with. I've had them for several months now, and only recently did I stumble on the perfect match: custom eartips (from CustomArts incidentally). My ears aren't...- TheDecline01

CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread
Please gimme 6000€ so that temptation feels unobtrusive... Nice work @marcusd and obviously @piotrus-g What specifically shines on me here is the treble being described as being colored. That rings some serious bells along with all the technical proficiencies described. When I am a grown-up...- TheDecline01

Aroma Audio A100TB
Hi, I have been starting to try some opamp-rolling love, and it turns out this is a little game that can't be played without its rules, namely, rightly plugging the opamps. After a first try with no sound and a suddenly suprisingly hot opamp (no smoke involved, nor visible consequence...- TheDecline01

How is it possible to rate the "naturalness" or how correct timbre is on a headphone?!
Hi, interesting question and nice point actually. To me, it's borderline marketing communication. Why? As you mentioned, "natural" will vary considerably from one person to another. What's natural to one, won't be for the other because of different listening habits, different equipment and so...- TheDecline01

Introducing Final latest flagship IEM A8000 featuring Truly Pure Beryllium Dynamic Driver
Finally got the perfect eartips! Custom ones from Custom Arts. It really makes the A8000 shine, bringing up the subs to Earth-shattering level rumbles and leaving the signature clear and detailed sound up there. And no longer do I need to re-fit the iems every 5min in my ears.- TheDecline01
