    Have you shared any impressions of the E1DA? The amount of customisation possible with that DAC seems interesting.

    It’s more an inside joke, not a serious remark :dt880smile: Though if you wait a while, you will see “U12t is boring” and “u12t is overrated” incoming.

    Howdy folks, My review of KiwiEars Singolo is online on head-fi and my blog. You vs the Helmholtz resonator she told you not to worry about.

    It is very likely that your experience with this IEM would be very different from mine. The most tricky thing about reading and writing reviews of IEMs is that they are personal audio devices. The “personal” aspect here goes beyond one’s preference for a a particular musical genres, a band, or...

    ~ $400-range IEM

    Most of the time (not always), IEM splits the signal into different parts to feed different drivers. The Sonion EST has a certain softness to note attacks comparing to BA supertweeters, which I find pleasing. I can also push the EST higher in EQ without making the treble edgy like BA. The dual...

    I'm testing Joe Bloggs new convolution filters on R4. The power of DSP built upon good DAC and good amp, combining with a capable enough IEM is pretty mindblowing, like beyond the little nitpicking about a bit more stage here, a bit less dynamic there to show what else we can get with personal...

    ~ $400-range IEM

    Another good option is getting a HiBy android DAP and take advantage of the system-wide DSP and EQ to make whatever you want. Just grab an excellent IEM like Monarch III to get all the dual DD and EST goodness and the flat response, and then EQ the rest. @Joe Bloggs @ Hiby is doing some mad...

    Nothing really happens in the movie, tbh. So you can’t spoil it 😂 “It’s not what is said, it’s how it’s said” situation with this movie.

    I highly recommend it. I was PITA lately so my missus insisted that I went to the cinema with her to watch this. It’s hard to explain, but I do feel a bit lighter. “Next time is next time. Now is now”

    Dafuq, a new one? My Supermix4 hasn’t even left their warehouse / factory 💀 Casually flexing Elysian, aren’t we 😤 How does that IEM match your target so well?How is it even possible. Diva 2023 is something I respect but not really crazy about when I tested. Maybe it’s the shells and comfort...

    @InvisibleInk you are totally right! Let me fix that. I also felt weird why it has 9 rather than 10 band. Only engineers (aka geek) label from 0 rather than 1 😂

    Yes you are right. Deep in the Accessibility menu there is an option to change the system control scheme between swiping and 3 buttons.

    Do MP3 players (sorry, Digital Audio Player - DAP) have a place in 2024? To me, the concept of DAP, especially in an age where smartphones are pervasive, has always been bourgeois and thus boasts a correspondingly high price tag. Nowhere is the poor price/performance ratio of DAP more prominent...

    Lemme tell you a secret. Most IEM tuning is fine. The brain can EQ itself pretty effectively as well. There might be a time when a natural tonal balance is a rare treat, but I don't think we are in that time anymore (well, certain parts of the market is still in that time, but not here). If...

    So that’s what that IEM was tuned for. Sometimes it would be great to talk to tuner and see what exactly they listen to. I wonder what Lee Elysian listens to to choose that house sound. My house sound might just be a DAC with built-in spatial audio DSP and Joe’s dynamic extender plugin...

    You can simply listen to a vocal track, for example this beautiful cover by Aurora: Something I would pay attention to: Positioning of the Aurora’s voice (nearer? Further away?) The tonality of the voice. Usually, pushing at 1.25kHz can give voices a “nasally” tone to it. Do you cringe when...

    What would a 5-brid be called 🤔 I want a DD+BA+PL+EST+BC/PR. You know what sounds sad? Anni 2023 with apple dongle. I’m doing some last AB test to finalise a review when I tested this pair. We spend more than AirPods Pro for wired IEM. We should have hidden our gears, not flexing them...
