    Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread

    I had no issues with the fit. Out of the box both silicone and foam size M were ok for me ....issue with the foam is that is sort of thin (as opposed to dense) and the nozzle ends in a sort of ring which I felt and hurt my ear canal:))). Also some may find the nozzle too short and thick....was...

    I keep switching between my OG Oracle and the MMKIII nowadays. Oracle should be my set when I travel......but they feel so fragile....and the build is crap...one of the faceplates fell off and because I did not wanted to bother to send it back to China...and I did a poor job... and I am afraid...

    Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread

    I recenly got the iBasso Dx260 and assuming that stuff from the same brand tends to stick to the same sound signature....I would say it's comparable to DC elite. When comparing this to my friend's Hiby R6 (2nd gen) ....Hiby sounds warmer and "more musical". Maybe you can try a Hiby player if you...

    I live in Europe and have made a few orders directly from China, hifigo and Linsoul. Shipping time is about two weeks usually.....I am actually expecting an iBasso dx260 this week:) Issue is that for a small order, you will have to pay shipping...... good news for me is that when I ordered this...

    Whenever people mention "metal" , I think of Ill Bill's verse....at about 1 minute: Oh....but I do listen to metal. A lot !

    Hi , Do you have experience with DAPs also? I am trying to choose between Shanling M6 U and iBasso dx260.....they are similarly priced. I know this iBasso model is quite new...it replaces 240.

    You can look for a Fiio BTR 15. This is a good budget dac for m MK3. But then again, your Apple dac may be enough also. What I am trying to say is that you don't need something more than a good budget dap.....MK3 will not benefit munch from a high end one, and you should not spend a lot, unless...

    Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread

    MMKIII is definitely a step up from variations. I don't know about M Mkii some people prefer seem to prefer MKII. I had the Various....sold them , because I linked OG Oracle more. Sometime I prefer Oracle Vs M MKIII....but they are both great! Variations are Very good as well imho.....but I...

    MMKIII are relatively easy to drive , and from what people are saying here, don't scale much with a better source. I have been using them with BTR 7 and they are great. I am planning to get a DAP....just for the sake of it. I will probably go with Shanling M3 Ultra

    The best IEM....or my favourite form what I have now is Monarc MK III. In terms of operation, M3/M6 Ultra should be very similar, if not identical, given they have the same 665 SD , right? Also from specs...even if the M6 battery has higher capacity....the M3 seems to last longer, I guess this...

    I am looking to buy a DAP. Somehow I have settled on Shanling and I want to choose between M3 Ultra and M6 Ultra. Has anyone tried these? Does the more expensive one make a noticeable difference in sound . Considering that the IEMs I have don't need too much power....so there cheaper one would...

    I am looking to buy a DAP. Somehow I have settled on Shanling and I want to choose between M3 Ultra and M6 Ultra. Has anyone tried these? Does the more expensive one make a noticeable difference in sound quality? Thanks

    Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread

    I am trying to decide between Shanling M6 U and M3 U Given that MMKIII don't scale much with the source. Is the more expensive DAP worth? I know there are many options, but somehow I have settled on Shanling and would like to get one of these models.
