Hi, just purchased a Fiio K7. So far only been listening through the SE output, yet to get a plug for bal. Though SE is providing enough power for the SR3. Hasn't been used much, but does the burn in happen for both outputs at the same time? I'm finding it a bit too flat and dry. I'm yearning...

I'd say Lexus would make the HD800. And Harley Davidson would make the ZMF

I've been looking for a dac/amp for purely using music streaming and playing from downloaded files from for eg tidal in the highest quality available. Is there a bit rate where some DACs have capabilities of being overkill for the music quality offered with these music services?

May consider higher if the jump in performance is truly exceptional. So far I've narrowed it to: -ifi idsd BL signature -topping dx5 -sabaj a20d -zen dac with maybe a zen can -Xduoo XD05 Considering - RME adi-2 -S.M.S.L DO3ooEX Will be used in the work office with option to transport it home on...

My setup is in my sig, give me all the punches on how to upgrade in your opinion based on my sig. Lol. Bring it on . 💪

I've read this being sometimes the case. I'm not perfectly coherent with all the specs and numbers eg but what in a laymen terms should a headphone amp be a speaker amp? Is ohms the indicator?

Hello all, Not sure how popular it is here, but this genre is such a strong following, as niche as it is. Just wanted to see and share some excellent find eg on this misunderstood approach. I'll start: I think Saint Vitus album 'born too late' is if not, one of the greatest doom albums ive had...

Probably asked a million times, Haven't bought into a custom cable before, always used stock. Though I'm looking for a balanced 2 pin for LCDi4's. I have briefly looked into cable makers but I really don't know what I'm looking for. Anything to really look out for thats nice, and anything thats...

I thought i remember seeing one. Looking to set up my first system. If you know of a welcoming site that would be happy to help without the pro members condescending glares that would be a truffle :)

Hello all,ive haven't bought a computer in over 10 years so im I bit out of touch with all the jargon, i3? I5? I7? I9? What happened to pentium?? Anywho I'm in the UK and looking for a laptop, it's nothing for graphic design or anything, just mundane interweb crap that can play tarreria and...

What the title says

Do people have favourite brands? What does wide and narrow tunnel do? does length matter? silicone vs foam? etc. The ones supplied when I got the Solaris's, I cant seem to find a set that works for me. Nickston seem to have a nice set for around £18?

Have the Kann cube and considering selling and going for the Sony ZX507. There was a thread about the comparison of the 2 but no real detail. Im after sound quality of power as I'm only running the Campfire Solaris. Any thoughts would be great :) Or if there are better options out there. Looking...

So this newbie bought an Astell & Kernn Kann cube. and after the great reviews its had I'm still glad I got It. alsothough reluctantly. Sound quality sacrificed for power. Compared to the SP model. And me being a floppy penis bought it as it runs a dual DAC 9038. But appareltly its not the best...

So the Kann cube has 3 gain settings, are they only used when you aren't getting the volume you need? Is there a difference with say high volume in low gain or low volume in high gain? Hope that makes any sense

For some reason my small brain cant make a thread in the for sale bit. But my small brain has earnt my the bread for some Solaris IEM's so mods please position this thread to its feng shui

So the Ibasso DX200/220 uses dual 9028 sabre and the AK Kann uses a single 4490. Both seem to have similar praised reviews for similar prices. (Price not considered for the dx200, performance only). Then I see the KANN cube using dual 9038 sabres. are the AK 4490 chips really that powerful? a...

Just wondering if there is a rep lurking that can PM me about repairing one.

I have previously owned the IE800s and loved them very much. 'Loved' as I have now lost them. I could buy another set, but they are really only one nice set I've owned, I'd like to branch out a little. I have an eye on the Audeze LCDi3. What else is there in this price/teir? The UE live look...

Long story short, I lost the IEM's and water damage on the player. I'm looking for a new set up, having owned mentioned setup before (and loved the sound) I'd preferably not spend all that money on the same setup. I'd like to have the opportunity to try some new products. I particularly loved...

So just bought some cherry IE800's. They sound great! Here is my worry: im using them through a phone. I know these IEM's are capable of alot more. I want a DAP, OR a DAC/AMP recommendation that will bring out the best of the ie's. I can spend 800 AUS coin on a mojo. Or i can spend a similar...
