Very positive experience. Friendly guy, quick and on point communication, immediate payment - can only recommend!

One more thing I'd like to mention in regard to Fiio K19 and my listening impressions. When I was testing EQ, I was using HE1000 Stealth exclusively and with this headphone, the differences between K19 and ADI 2/4 Pro SE are much more noticeable. I've mentioned before that Fiio comes across a...

No it doesn't - I also hoped it would work like that, but it doesn't. The only app I found is Fiio Control, which can connect to K19 and stream music via bluetooth. There is also and EQ you can setup, but it's not the 31 band hardware based PEQ on the device, it's software based on the app...

I tested EQ functionality of K19 as wrote in my previous post, to complete my impressions of the device. Like the last time, I will compare it to RME ADI 2/4 Pro SE and like the the last time, I'm only comparing direct music playback through 4,4 mm headphone output. - EQ on Fiio works only via...

I've not heard any AUDIO-GD device, not a single one. I've heard DX9 last year and I was very impressed with the sound. I thought it sounded a little bit better than RME ADI 2/4 Pro SE. I didn't do any ABing, but as I remember, it sounded very natural and had a good mid bass punch. In the end I...

I might be biased here as I think Utopia 22 is the best sounding headphone and Stellia is the second best. Stellia is for sure is the best sounding headphone I own. It's the exact sound signature I like and I never heard is sound poorly out of anything I tried (desktop, dap, dongle - amazing...

Volume wheel feels alright - knob seems to be metal and doesn't wobble. Also it's not turning continuously and there is a slight feedback on every step - there are 120 steps and my guess is that they are all 0,5 dB increments. I can't properly test either channel balance or noise floor as I...

ADI 2/4 Pro SE has crazy amount of functions, which is most likely the reason it is so expensive, but based on my impressions, in the music playback alone Fiio matches RME. They sound extremely similar to my ears. I could possibly tell them apart by listening to specific songs, looking for those...

I spent a couple of hours comparing ADI 2/4 Pro SE and Fiio K19. ADI 2/4 Pro SE is my current daily driver, as I need a compact dac/amp to use with my PC, not just for music, but for also for gaming and movies. Been using RME device for years, I think since 2018 with the OG ADI-2 DAC and they...

Hello, I'm offering for sale a whole bunch of Dekoni earpads that I've accumulated over time during my pad swapping days. Total of 9 earpads: Elite Hybrid for Sennheiser HD600 (x2) Elite Hybrid for Sennheiser HD800 Elite Sheepskin for Beyerdynamic DT (x2) Elite Hybrid for Beyerdynamic DT...

Hello, this is my first listing @ Head-Fi. I'm offering for sale my Meze Liric - purchased by me in the autumn 2022 at local retailer. I've used them quite a lot until the end of last year, since when I've moved to easier to drive closed-backs and eventually stopped using them. I've only used...

I received mine today (took a while before I could purchase one locally). I will let it burn-in for a couple of days and then compare it to ADI 2/4 Pro SE.

Thanks. No I didn't try MDR-Z1R. I wanted to try, but from 2021 it stopped being sold in my country and for some reason it costs now a lot more than it used to. The only way I can get it is either used, or from abroad for almost the price of a brand new Stellia. At the moment it's unlikely I'll...

I think your volume level is fine, especially considering you're listening to classical music. I'm not technically proficient, but from reading head-fi and watching youtube I gathered that planar drivers require more current and they are usually low impedance with flat curve. T5.3 has a...

I liked them both, but sound is a very subjective topic. I can give you a rough summary as it wasn't that long ago - I only used DAPs as sources with these headphones (M17 and DX240 w/AMP8): Lows - I liked Radiance more, because midbass was elevated a bit, liked it had more weight behind it...

T5.3 is very easy to drive. You can drive it from an unbalanced output directly out of a tablet. I used it in the past alongside D9200 and Radiance and they were all almost identical in terms of power requirements. I currently use it alongside Stellia which is a little more sensitive, but in...

I only have stock AMP12 and EXN-S with ada op amps - with stock card battery for digital section drains faster, with modded card its the other way around. The difference is not that big - I usually charge when the analogue hits 20% and at that point digital has around 10% more. With modded...

I find it hard to believe they lack in bass, but I actually never once heard T5.3 straight out of the box - my common practice with all beyers is to immediately swap the pads as I find pretty much all of them too shallow and uncomfortable. Dekoni makes many variants of pads for classic beyers. I...

I have both and I also prefer Expanse to Elite because it sounds more complete to me, like nothing is missing and I can shuffle around any genre of music. I do prefer mids and highs of Elite to Expanse, but the bass is just not there (I use angled pads, but I'm eager to try new duo pads)...

I can highly recommend replacing original pads with Dekoni Choice Suede - these are closest to the original tuning, but much more comfortable and seal surprisingly well.

Comparing cables is a bit like magic. I used to be a nonbeliever in cable, but at some point I purchased a "premium" cable, not for sound, but for ergonomics. However it really changed the headphone I was listing to - Meze Liric. I swear, it just sounded different - minor improvement across the...

I think HE1000se is overall a better headphone. I find it to have even more clarity, better imaging, even soundstage I feel like HE1000se is just as wide while being taller and deeper. They are both kind of sharp, but HE1000se is slightly less so and bass on HE1000se is just on a different level...

ADI-2 DAC FS often goes on sale for less than 1K and for that price it is one of the best, if not the best device you can get. It drives HE1000se with no issues straight out of the headphone output with plenty of headroom. It is neutral sounding, but not lifeless - bass is really punchy and...
