@Redcarmoose Ps. there are many Type-C dongles that use the CX31993 DAC chip, but precious few manufacturers understand how to fully unlock its potential; an ex. is the Tiandirenhe Conexant CX31993+max97220 Type C DAC, it uses the same dual chip as OS133 DAC, yet the results are undeniably...

Cheers!

@Redcarmoose It is no small matter when synergy is found with an IEM and its ancillary components, apparently Neo 5/CS02 for example. Totem DAC, if thoroughly aged, will beautifully handle nuances, dynamics, and exhibit high-level refinement; nice to have the cable though, indeed. I'm not...

@Redcarmoose I had a hunch CS02+EW200 might be a good match but it was not to be; from what I've read, it seem to have a certain sonic allure, hence my original question. I happen to have a modest, varied collection of cables, Type-C DAC dongles --collectively, my sound tuners. I've since tested...

@Redcarmoose, Thanks man for testing CS02 paired with the EW200, and for suggesting the LC7 as a good option. Very interesting your detailed observations and deduction in testing the CS02 this time around, I am glad I asked. I will certainly pickup the LC7 for one of my fave IEM.

Thanks for your review. Question: any idea how good (or not) EW200 might pair with ISN CSO2 cable? Too bad the CS02 was not one of the cables tested, besides Penon's Space Vocal and Bass.

@Atx360 update UAC to v1.5.9

Thanks for introducing me to the JD7; I think you mentioned it elsewhere in a review of FD11 and encouraged another to see your review of JD7 on head-fi. Actually, I had never heard of the model but liked what you said about it. A month later and I am a happy owner of the JD7; it sounds sooo...

Interesting review, FD11 sounds like it would be suitable for Jazz too. I am inclined to think so since it shares the same driver technology with FiiO's FF5 earbuds --but tuned differently.

Thanks for your reply.

Yours is a good review, thanks! In your Verdict, you mentioned that you have 2 Yuan Li: OG and the limited edition Dark Soul. Question: how do they differ soundwise? which is your preference of these two?

@OspreyAndy I probably didn't explain clearly enough, I meant the following: it was easy enough creating my playlist in the HiBy app, now what actual proceedure enables me to listen to the playlists I created? This latter is the part that isn't as intuitive.

@tubbymuc I own the UAPP app, its a good app but sounds more warm (albeit needlessly so) than HiBy Music app which sounds neutral to me - I do not use Eq. Just the same, thanks man!

@OspreyAndy How does one access their playlist on HiBy Music App once created? This operation doesn't appear intuitive but otherwise a really nice app.

With TRI Clarion eartips, Lyra is not too far away from AS16 Pro (high-imp edition) --soundstage is significantly improved, more 3-dimensional, Abigail or Jcally JM10 = source.

Your review is very interesting, thanks. I enjoy my JM10 immensely; still, sounds like the AP10 is just the ticket to level up my favorite DAC/amp. Regarding AP10's non-independent volume wheel issue, a japanese enthusiast claims that on Android devices, the hardware volume can be controlled by...

Okay, I will give other known good cables a go at it and see what gives. Again, thank you.

Thanks for sharing that with me. I already knew that the dots must be oriented equally. But what baffled me, and forced me to rely on listening through trials, was whether to the backside Or frontside of the IEM together -it makes a difference with my KZ AS10 and KZ ZS6, one way sounds balanced...

"...extra dot to help with insertion orientation" how is it used?

Enjoyed your review of the GD3A very much, thank you. Have you any idea how different (or similar) is the SD3 in comparison?

It does... thanks!
