Is there a list of ConX-compatible cables out there? I know Effect and Vortex. Any others?

In a separate thread, I asked: what is the best single DD IEM you can buy today? It turned out a lot of people had a lot of opinions. So here's a poll! I did my best to pluck the most common responses. Two things to note: The IEM world moves lightning fast. This is a poll started on Feb 1...

Hello everybody. I'm mulling over a Trifecta purchase and I was fortunate enough to get a chance to listen to it recently. And I have to say...I don't get it. The bass was killer and it has a wonderfully analog sound but the rest of the sound was...kind of all over the map? The mids and highs...

The subject line says it all! :) I’m in love with the Oriolus Isabelle and really loved singularity. What’s the best single DD today? Best value? Thanks!

Hello friends - I recently got hold of the Oriolus Isabelle which I am in love with. One challenge for me: it's a shallow nozzle and I'm doing the best I can to get a good fit. Any recommended tips for shallow IEMs like this? The Nightjar Singularity had the same issue for me. Thanks in...

Hello friends - I recently picked up a Woo Audio Fireflies 3rd Gen. I love it. Sounds amazing. But in the never-ending pursuit for the quote-unquote next level, I'm seeing lots of tubes out there and I'm particularly interested in the apos ray 12au7. So I'll ask the obvious because I've never...

I'm typing this as listen on my Dethonray Pegasus SG1 bluetooth dac/amp. This is a strange piece of hardware. It is bluetooth ONLY (which is odd) and it can be finicky but my Lord, this thing puts out an absolutely pristine sound to my IEMs. My IEMs range from $500 to $3k and this thing goes...

Hello fellow Head-Fiers. I'm in the market for an IEM between $500-$1k that is smooth, great vocals and on the warmer side. I own Elysian Annihilators and while they are just amazing and incredibly satisfying, I would like a warmer and frankly less expensive IEM to go out and about. Thanks in...

Hey fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, etc. etc... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-20/spotify-plans-new-premium-tier-expected-to-include-hifi-audio

Let's assume $ was no object (or something) and you own a very high-end TOTL IEM. What's the best dac/amp to own? I know we're in portable here but curious across the board. Thanks in advance.

I somehow got my hands on an Elysian Annihilator 2023 and I want share my impressions here. FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm by no means a professional reviewer or deep hobbyist even. I've fallen into head-fi world over the past year or so and I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's really...

TL;DR: Simplify your product lines The complexity around branding/naming across models for a lot of these brands is absolutely wild and, I dare say, actually hurts the bottom line. I'm actively looking for a solid dac/amp stack or combo and the amount of mental labor required to figure out...

Just watched the always entertaining cheap audio guy. He says that Spotify Hifi (lossless?) is here? Anyone hear anything? Source: Then again....it is April 1. :)

I'm shopping for a dac/amp (either stack or 1 unit) and my Lord there are so many options it kind of leaves you spinning. So.... what's the best for $500 or under? what's the best for $1000 or under? My gear: Hifiman Arya / Meze Liric / some higher-end IEMs Thanks!

From the Verge: You can now expect HiFi to eventually appear as part of a more expensive plan — likely one that also includes spatial audio/Dolby Atmos and other perks related to audiobooks and podcasts. https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/14/23639674/spotify-hifi-co-president-still-coming *emoji...

I tried them at Canjam and they're just amazing. How do you buy one?

Hi all - I like the angled (sort of L-shaped) 2-pin connector b/c it helps the wrapping around the ear. Any good brands that do that? Thanks.

Hi all - I have an iPhone and I'm an avid user of Apple Music with Lossless (got a nice usb dac amp and U12T). Very happy with them but I'm considering one of the higher end DAPs on the market to double as my desktop dac/amp and dap on the go. My question: is Apple Music on Android lossless...

The title says it all. I remember it was imminent and kind of announced then nothing. Is there a timeline? Will it ever happen? I'm on Apple Music and it's good. But the recommendations are not great.

The subject says it all. Can I do this? Will it harm the electronics at all? Thanks in advance. Rich

Hi all - I'm relatively new here but I've built a nice little collection of stuff and I want to share what I guess would be considered a semi-controversial observation (I think?): I hate to EQ. Every time I apply the EQ presets that are custom-tailored for certain headphones or IEMs, the...

Hi all - I'm considering getting a pair of ZMFs (not sure which yet). I did notice A LOT of ZMFs end up on classifieds. Any idea why that's the case? Just curious. I'm wondering if people just get bored with their gear or if there's some other reason.

Hi all - I've got a nice Dac/AMP setup going with Apple music. Curious: what is the best software for EQ on Mac? Also...what is the best software for iPhone? Thanks in advance! Rich

Hi all - Loving my BTR7. Sounds great and really loving it. I'm using Apple Music, High-Res Lossless. On my phone it works great via USB: PCM 44K/328 HR But on my Mac laptop, it only shows 44k/168 SQ Am I doing something wrong here? This is direct, not through Bluetooth. Thanks in advance!

This is frustrating and not sure how to solve for it without doing damage my u12t. I've got some ear wax wedged in the mesh. Not a ton but these things sound so amazing and I fear it's starting to impact the experience. Apologies for the slightly gross image. Thoughts on how to fix/clean it...
