Any Pioneer SE-MS9BN owners here?
Ah, no worries. I did not try these with a cable, but the reason I remembered them was because they had Google assistant as a smart feature, along with reasonable sq for a cheap price. In fact, they had so much of everything, I had to return to the store to get a second opinion. In the end I...- darkdoorway

Tried these in Japan, I thought for the price they were the best of the selection at BIC Camera. How much did you get them for?- darkdoorway

Hi, regular attendee of both Singapore and London canjams here. Can highly recommend both. British one has some local exhibitors as does the Singapore one. Both nice experiences.- darkdoorway

RHA MA750 Wireless -- Stuttering with my Fiio X5-iii
Humm...well, those symptoms could be a couple of things...but most likely the connection. I'd believe a verified aptx through a catlog though. I did have an issue similar to what you describe, but found it to be purely centered on the player I was using - Poweramp at the time had some issues...- darkdoorway

RHA MA750 Wireless -- Stuttering with my Fiio X5-iii
Well, just guessing, but it looks like the ma750 is making an AAC Bluetooth connection with the iPhone...no surprises there. But I suspect the ma750 is connecting with the fiio x5 iii with SBC, rather than Apt-x. If you can get a catlog through the fiio x5 iii to verify this. But pretty much...- darkdoorway

Shure SE425: Real or fake?
Haha...I do like to believe that I can match the described signature and quality of the innerfidelity reviewed se425s to the ones I had....although, it could all be in my head....just like every headfi post and canjam listening experience for the last few years. A grand delusion :)- darkdoorway

Shure SE425: Real or fake?
Hi, I've just sold one of these..silver version. Now from the photos, the se425 I had does look a little different in body. Also I don't think the case is supposed to look like that. I.e...the bumps on the weave material are too large. Also it's the wrong texture. Also, that doesn't look like an...- darkdoorway

Massdrop PLUS Universal IEM
Generally the Kumitate Licht adds quite a lot of sub bass detail and detail along all parts of the audio spectrum. When used with something like my 6B, it's fairly overwhelming - especially for trance. Now, when paired with the Massdrop Plus, for me, it eliminates the need to use any kind of EQ...- darkdoorway

Massdrop PLUS Universal IEM
Ok. I'm now pairing the Massdrop Plus with my Japan Kumitate Lab licht balanced cable, and it is adding a new dimension to these earphones. They definitely benefit from a cable upgrade.- darkdoorway

OK. Just got this. Wasn't expecting much for £5...but it had the Japan Audio Society Hi Res certification, so I figured what the hey.

JVC HA-FW01 - The New Top End Wood Driver IEM (2017)
Hey, thanks james444. That's actually just what I was looking for. And given that I agree with 90% of the "favourite IEMs" in your Signature..(ex1000, fi ba ss awesome..although the DN2000J sounds like an incoherent mess to me) that comparison note seems pretty solid. Interesting that you...- darkdoorway

JVC HA-FW01 - The New Top End Wood Driver IEM (2017)
So I've tried the FD01 and FW01 side by side today at stereo.sg - just to try a new IEM with a few days to kill in the country. Big mistake. Of the two, the FW01 has left me feeling impressed...Impressions are that the FW01 sounds raw and energetic..with the FD01 being a bit more controlled and...- darkdoorway

CanJam Singapore 2018 Impressions Thread! (March 24-25, 2018)
I would absolutely do this given the small price difference between the two and that the 1960s is still the top commonly available cable, you'll get a good price for it... -

Compared to the London show it feels a fair bit more iemy I agree. I went upstairs and there was a sparse room with over the ears...told the guys I was an Iem person and directed to kindly go back down and join the crowd. -

CanJam Singapore 2018 Impressions Thread! (March 24-25, 2018)
Ohh..you spoke too soon. It is a 1950s (new) :) I did A/B against the 1960s model they had as I was originally interested in that. Now I can say there is a chasm of difference between the two. 1950's feels a lot more resolving. -

Just tried the 1950's PW Audio cable designed by this guy (Peter Wong): It was pretty amazing, and has re-defined how I thought about copper. -
Reply to review by 'darkdoorway' on item 'FiiO Q5 Flagship Bluetooth and DSD-Capable DAC & Amplifier'
Hi. I'm....not too sure what you are asking. It is a Bluetooth DAC. You pair it with your phone / computer / whatever and play. The Q5 receives a wireless digital signal , amps and plays it through the headphones connected to it.- darkdoorway

FiiO Q5, the mightiest Bluetooth/DSD DAC&Amp ever, available now
Hi, I have. With AptX on the Q5, Vs a wired 24/192 connection, it's almost on par. At least there isn't enough of a difference for me to want to take a couple of rubber bands and stack.- darkdoorway
