    Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp

    You have to remove the con "The display's orientation cannot be flipped". It's a setting in the browser app. Guess they added that feature with one of the many updates :)

    Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp

    Using the T71 with the Meze Elite since about 2 weeks. I'm not sure about the 7.1 feature yet. Yes it sounds somehow more spacous than the 2.0 mode. But ofc you don't get surround sound. If the 5k is enough and it's only about the 7.1 feature, I'm not sure if thats worth the price. I never had...

    Stuck what to upgrade first (headphone and/or amp)

    Was yesterday at a hifi store with a big selection. I tested many of the mid to highend HPs for almost 4 hours... Hifimana Arya Organic, Meze Empyrean II, Meze Elite, Meze 109 Pro, Dan Clark E3, Focal Stellar, Focal Clear MG, Austrian Audio for about 2.5k but forgott which one and a few more...

    Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp

    I got my T71 today. Added my Sundara PEQ setting and did alot of other configs. Changed to 2.0 and 384KHz. I like to have the EQ build in and be able to use it also on my Macbook Pro. But I can't really hear a difference in the sound quality between the 300€ T71 and the 30€ Sharkoon Gaming DAC...

    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Ok thank you. The Sundaras are abit to bright for me and missing punsh. But I EQ them which made them much better for me. But possible that most Hifimans might be to abit bright for me in general without EQ. The 3k for the Empy 2 are alot but I'm looking for something that will last many years...

    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    Didn't had a chance to hear them but they are both my favorits so far after wathcinbg many reviews. I'm looking for an upgrade from the Sundaras. Can you tell abit more about the differences?

    Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp

    Well if he had another dac before with other sound signature and was used to it, it might feel like that. @rael67 Ya I have no doubt that the T71 has enough power. It's mainly about the sound since it's a small and still quite cheap dac compared to the HPs. I would be happy if they are very...

    Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp

    Hm thats not so great... I'n not a big fan of too much/sharp treble. But with the filters or PEQ I could tweak that or is such a sound characteristic something you have the life with? I would like to find a small dac for desktop use. When possible with PEQ since I would like to use it both with...

    Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp

    Is the T71 good enough to proper drive the Empyrean 2. The power should be fine but it's more about sound quality and soundstage or will or the T71 be a noticable limitation?

    Stuck what to upgrade first (headphone and/or amp)

    I have a very limited space on my desk since I'm all the time at my GFs flat since a couple of months. At my home that wouldn't be such an issue. But even with more space a dac & amp stack is nothing I want anyway. I prefer 1 device and if possible a small one. The SMSL DL200 could be already...

    Stuck what to upgrade first (headphone and/or amp)

    Problem is, I might not run new headphones properly on my cheap dac dongle. The power could be ok but not sure how much the dac limits the sound quality. Many reviews about the new Arya organic where like it is warmer compared with many other Hifiman and older Aryas but could be true that...

    Stuck what to upgrade first (headphone and/or amp)

    Hi, I'm using a Hifiman Sundara since almost 3 years. It's running on a very cheap Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S V2 but that small Dongle is ok and has enough power to run the Sundara even at high volumes. I'm using the headphones for music (Tidal) of many genres and for gaming (not compatitive) on...
