    Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews

    Will there ever be a native Youtube app? There is content there I can't get in HQ so would be great if it will be one day! Appreciate vlink but it's clunky to use lol

    [FiiO M11] Android 7.0, 2.5/3.5/4.4 Powerful Output, Exynos 7872, Dual AK4493 DAC chips, 3GB RAM, WiFi, Two-way LDAC

    This looks better than the AK SE100 I just ordered, should I cancel and wait for this ? lol Probably not in terms of sound quality, but this looks much more usable since it'd be quite close to a mobile?

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    After several days with the z7, I;'ll have to say I like it more than the MDR-1A.  The 1A definitely has a clearer mid to top range, but it sounds a bit hollow and artificial, not sure if that is the right technical terms but that's what the sense I get between the two.    They do share a...

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Probably not fair given the fx850 costed about 8x the XB50 at the time of purchase for me, but the resolution of the fx is that much better. There is much more clarity in the mids and high, better stage and depth too. They both have similar bass quantity but the fx is much more cleaner and hits...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

    Not the HAP-S1.   If you wanna use usb you'll need the MAP-S1 or UDA-1

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Oddly I think I have a white one that was a gift, going to check that later. Don't think I liked it though, fell wayy short of the FX850s! Very curious to how the Z7 sounds now - 2/3 days before I get it!

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Awesome, thanks guys!   Damn I think I'll end up getting both..... My first decent iems were the XBA3s and I sort of miss that cold harsh treble! It did bass pretty well too, even though it had a very thin presentation. Owning the FX850s sort of changed my preferences, it's like bolting on...

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Lol that was what I was following before I decided on the z7. Feedback is as mixed as the z7, and as much as I asked the purple heart version my brain kept pushing me towards the Sony. Any idea which would be better at female vocals?

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    So I've decided to order the z7. Strangely I cannot find anything else worth considering at the price. I've also seen the zx1 at a relatively lower price than the pha3. Is anyone currently using the zx1 with these phones? I thought it would be better if t could power the z7, but then Android...

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Haha I am still deciding, but you with 3 pairs is crazy! Send one my way!! Jokes aside, do you really love them that much to commit to spares, or did you get them cause of some great deal?

    Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7

    Opportunity has arised for me to get these at $500, cheapest I have seen ever!  Sort of always wanted this but not at $1000 aud, and mixed reviews didn't help either. I was actually going to consider the new Rosie/Angie2 from A&K but then I saw these and thought maybe I needed new headphones...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

    Lol I forgot there was the USB input. Optical has been working great for me though, fortunately.   Do you guys use your unit daily? I pretty much do but wonder how durable these are down the track lol

    JVC new top tier Wooden IEM : JVC HA FX 1100

    Lol yeah $400 is my opportunity cost if I was to get the fx1200s. Difference is about $140 Aud through online sellers, JVC don't officially distribute in AU it's not possible to demo anywhere down under.   I think the one thing I would like improved is treble, and from your impressions it...

    JVC new top tier Wooden IEM : JVC HA FX 1100

    Oh really? I did not know the 850s were a whole tier below! As much as I like these JVCs I would still think they are really too similar to spend $400+ (Aud) for the 1200 so I've decided to venture to other brands.   At least you've had the chance to try the JHs, I haven't any of them which...

    JVC new top tier Wooden IEM : JVC HA FX 1100

      I got the FX850 quite a while ago myself and I agree, they can really take anything you throw at it. I'd imagine the FX11/200 is even better but they are definitely more of a coloured sound. It doesn't have that speaker experience compared to the BAs though, I find BAs can sound a lot more...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

      To be fair this wasn't experienced by all users, just a few lol Mine was completely fine the day I updated even on the previous firmware. Not sure if it's my imagination but I felt it the sound was a bit livelier after the update!     Awesome, thanks mate! Did not know I could have two...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

    Has anyone tried adding a sub to a 2.0 set up? My current 2.0 set up with the HAPS1 is just too lacking... Is it possible to get an active sub, connect via speaker cables (L+R) to the sub and then L+R from the sub to the actual speakers?   I'm only assuming from the connectors from active...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

      Thanks for this. That's quite disappointing that they haven't provided an update. Been testing mine the whole day, It's such a solid unit and very organic sounding with the hw1s, though the low end is rather lacking but oh well I can't add a sub anyway!   Worst part is I can't use anything...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

      Thanks for the info, makes a lot more sense now. So the only way to make the most out of 24 bit is to have FLAC on the hdd itself. Shame they didn't include a usb input like the UDA-1, and I do understand why but it would have just been much more convenient lol I've been using the UDA-1 for...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

    I did have a look around but there isn't even much technical info on these, so then I referred to the help guide which stated optical/coaxial only goes to 96khz.. where are you getting "only going up to 24/192"? Sorry obviously not too technical with this stuff as it's my first desktop dac so...

    New Sony high-end DSD gear, including a USB DAC

    Hi Guys,   http://helpguide.sony.net/ha/haps1/v1/en/contents/TP0000221982.html   I thought the HAP S1 shared DAC (PCM1795) with the HAPZ1 and UDA-1? Looks like it doesn't do 24/192 if I am reading correctly so it's got a different one?    If in future I want to get the a dedicated amp will...

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    Been eyeing these for a long time but prices has gone up cause tanking AUD. However seeing so many positive feedback I am keen on getting it now! Does anyone use this on the go though? Can't find many pics of these being used in the real world

    Android: Neutron Music Player

    Tried using this player again yesterday after about a year, still can't use it.   Even with superior sound quality than other players, I can't get over how useless the UI is lol, it's just too un-intuitive and not very user friendly. It even gets laggy while scrolling on my note 4!
