Hi there! After much research, I'm having a hard time choosing - Fiio, iBasso, etc Requirements: 2-pin connection for my CIEMs Microphone built-in good for sports (waterproof:, etc) High-quality audio Thanks very much guys <3

Do you find that adding the Mini to the Minirig 3 + Sub3 combo to be worth it? I like the idea a lot but adding 2 more cables & components puts me off. How much difference does it make to the overall sound characteristics when pushing max SPL?

Hah your story & photo is found in a Minirig 3 review. I love your tripod setup for them by the way! How did you mount the Minirig 3 to that? edit: OMG nevermind, I have the same tripod and realize you just used the retractable phone holder part for it - GENIUS!

Yeah I freaking love the rigs! This Minirig 3 review convinced me to buy them and I'm really not disappointed at all! Expensive but worth it, I have 3 now!

Simple Hidizs AP80 + Plunge Audio performer CIEMs :)

For me the AP80 is hands down the best when I need something small and portable for my CIEMs. Anyone know of anything similar sized with higher SQ?

I found the radio to work just fine! The sound quality from this DAP with my Plunge Audio CIEMs is freaking stunning coming from my Shanling M0. The question is - is there better sound quality in this size bracket? I travel a lot and would prefer just one main DAP. Which antialiasingfilters do...

Holy heck! Got a second hand AP80 in the mail yesterday. Finally got to test it today - blowing me away! Coming from a Shanling M0 (earlier Fiio X5), with Plunge Audio's Performer CIEMS - juicy, delicious, detailed, airy! Perfect size, decent UI, great SQ, and that sound versatility! Amazing :)

Foobar2000 with a nice skin is great! I like Foo Mnlt 2 plus Inhi as a skin

Hey guys how does the M0 compare with somelime like a Fiio X5 1st gen for SQ? I'm at the gym a lot, my screen on the X5 is cracked and I'm using CIEMs and a Bluetooth speaker. Will I get worse, equal or better SQ? Thanks!

Holy heck, wish I found out about this DAP awhile ago. Guess that's what I get for being missing from the forums. Anyone in EU have a spare they want to sell? :P

Here in Denmark I see AirPods a LOT. Also a TON of beats, B&O, Bose and occasionally ATH M50s. People here mostly care about fashion. Form > function.

Any of you guys have experience with the DX90 vs the Fiio X5 (1st/2nd gen). I lost my trusty X5 and both MicroSD cards on the train and now have been using my garbage tier $100 phone streaming 128kbps SoundCloud tunes through CIEMs.... Suffice to say, it's match made in hell. I never thought I...

That's a really interesting review you have and I'm glad the product isn't bunk. If only there was a way to use my current IEM's with the device!   Nice to see a Head-Fi member review them!

Yeah I feel these would operate more on the placebo effect rather than not. That being said, placebo isn't always a bad thing.

Yeah especially with it marketed as a 'high', I feel it's just a shotty marketing scheme. Of course lots of young adults would love the idea of music that gets you high 

Your comment before deleting it was fine!   I wonder to what degree would dopamine be released past a placebo level and or normal pleasures.

Very true. I guess it's not introducing new dopamine molecules, just stimulating the release. The only was I guess I could see it being damaging would be in combination with any neurotoxic substance.   Interesting with what you say about the meditation too. Could make it a more powerful...

Consider M-Audio BX8 A/D2, BX5a, KRK Rokit, Audioengine speakers, Kanto speakers, etc. If you're okay with big as **** speakers, BX8As are great

I doubt the dopamine stimulating properties of it would be damaging or neurotoxic (no foreign chemical interacts witht the receptors) however I could see short term dopamine production being hurt.

No mention of Kanto here? Nice looking, compact, great sq speakers. Initially was unimpressed with the YU2s until they burnt in and then with a Sub8 added, oh man they were creamy. I preferred them over my M-Audio BX8A's almost always.

So I came across this page: http://experiencenervana.com/technology-vagus-nerve-stimulation/   It almost seems like one of the biggest gimmicks I've ever seen, especially at $300. However I do believe there is a future in that type of technology.   Discusa

Did you do anything different in particular? Having the same issue.
