Hey, Got a question about 2-Pin to 4,4 mm Pentaconn IEM cables. Recently I got a new one and of course I checked it with a DMM. There R- of 2-Pin IEM connector is not only connected to R-, but also connected to Pentaconn ground. That isn't done right. However I heard the ground doesn't matter...

There are so many chifi DACs like Gustard A26/R26, Topping D90 III, SMSL SU-X or SMSL D400. Most of them are at around $1000 up to $1600. Then there are non chifi brands like Schiit Bitfrost and Yggdrasil. Those have less features compared to the chifi stuff. Could you please tell me the...

Hi, I am wondering if there are coupon codes to use for those shops?

I'm wondering what's the safest way to remove my IEMs from dongles or desktop amps? Of course I stop the music first and then? Just remove the plug or shut off the amp first?

There so many dongles and I don't even know which is the best. What's your favourite of TE Shio (firmware updated), iBasso DC04, Penon Tail or Fiio KA5?

Right this moment I type anything and only get empty results. What's up with the already crappy search of Head-Fi? :sob:

I want to use my Jotunheim 2 or even Burson Soloist to run IEMs, but it could be too loud and noisy ootb. Will impedance adapters improve it much? DMS recommended https://ifi-audio.com/products/iematch4-4/ . Well, it's not that cheap but if it helps, it helps. What do you use? I also need to...

Hello, I'm looking for a full decoding MQA DAC with balanced connectors. It doesn't matter if there's an amp included. It should be not more than 500 $US! Chifi or whatever doesn't matter as long as there are no bugs or poor quality. I am not afraid to update the firmware. Any help appreciated.

I just don't get the search on this forum. There are many times when I don't find an item even though it was recently listed or bumped. For example I just tried to search for https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/sennheiser-ie600-almost-brand-new.35482/ but search results didn't include it! What's...

I got an amp with 4,4 mm balanced output for headphones. For better comparison between 2 IEMs I want to run them through that output. Is there any splitter cable to do that? It would need 1x 4,4 mm male on one side and 2x 4,4 mm female on the other side.

Does it matter if I burn them in balanced or just SE?

Truthear already released a second IEM and I still see no thread. Here it is! Showcases: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/truthear-zero.25967/ https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/truthear-hexa-4-driver-hybrid-iem.26189/ So while the Zeros are hyped af on Audio Science Review almost nobody...

Accidentally I plugged in a 2-pin cable the wrong side (notch showing inside). The IEMs still play normal. I hope nothing broke inside?

Is it worth to buy the Tangzu IEMs, when I already have the Timeless? I EQ of course.

I'm not sure what Amp/DAC I should buy for IEMs? I want to drive Aria Snow Edition and later some other mid-tier (up to 250 US$) IEMs. Aria seems to be on the brighter side, isn't it? Then a warmer sounding amp would do it. What would you recommend? warm and musical sounding amp good...

Hey guys, Even though I got a very nice pair of DCA Aeon 2 Noire I still wanted to hear some mid-fi. Why not? So I just grabbed some Beyers to hear what happens. Just so you know I use them with their stock velour pads and equalized them with Oratory profiles. The pads of the DT700 are a lot...

This review is about Dekoni Hybrid Pads and custom made pads by @NtraX for oval shaped Hifiman headphones. I started to look for aftermarked pads, because the stock pads weren't comfortable. They mostly pressed against my jaws and some other places, which made them unpleasant to wear. What a...

Hello, Do you know where to find the marketplace or what are the requirements to use it? I'm new here.
