I'm just loving this combination Sony WM1ZM2 + Audio Technica ATH-IEX1 (with Vortex Eddie Square cable). Female vocals sounds really really good on this setup!
I was intrigued on Xuan NV because how pretty it is and it seems to be good balanced tuning,
but then i come across uuuh, Akros review and comparison
In which he change his opinion on Trio and rank them higher after getting the "right" eartip that give better insertion
while he thinks Rhapsody still have an edge over Trio, against Xuan Nv?
"There is nothing in Xuan Nv can do better than this (Trio)"
also he noted that had Trio is released by different brand like Moondrop, the audio community will rave about it way harder than it is now

Nevertheless, if one is looking for some specific features to enjoy their music, to the very best and can afford it - it can be all perfectly worth it (as long as you put the music first, IMHO).
Have you shared any impressions of the E1DA? The amount of customisation possible with that DAC seems interesting.Start to enjoy comparisons & synergies of DACs and all-BAs and hybrids:
(8 by 8 are chosen (felt sorry for the exclusion of many others; may repeat my EDI training...) some dongles, like iBasso, are for purely decorative purposes).
To me, it is pinnacle of the inner gratification in this hobby (with an icing on a proverbial cake being cable matching (just the colours for me & more subtleties for capable audiophiles )
Starting into it, I could not help reflecting on the value and returm per recent debates.
In most of the cases, one definitely gets more by paying more, as per seminal Prof. @baskingshark dissertation in the field Yet, the returns are strongly diminishing (especially above $100-$300 as per my limited experience). Nevertheless, if one is looking for some specific features to enjoy their music, to the very best and can afford it - it can be all perfectly worth it (as long as you put the music first, IMHO).
I’ve never tried it, but wouldn’t playback of a Dolby Atmos song (from Amazon Unlimited) on a Dolby Atmos home theatre setup be what you’re looking for ?Absolutely, using even a simpler equalizer is very cost-effective (that is why I feel that there is a carefully cultuvated mantra that "real audiophiles" do not equalize - they spend money to support the hobby).
Then DSP can bring it to the next level (delays are only crucial for gaming and live sreaming, not for pure music enjoyment). Hiby MSEB is quite good to start with, so Joe taking it further sounds great.
An ultimate solution in this direction (at least according to the Science Forum here) is Realizer. Smyth Realizer - https://smyth-research.com/
Again, I just wish multichanel recordings becoming a reality to have all real venue acoustics, sound layerings, etc. rather than artificially (or semi-artificially) recreating it.
Stunning indeed.I'm just loving this combination Sony WM1ZM2 + Audio Technica ATH-IEX1 (with Vortex Eddie Square cable). Female vocals sounds really really good on this setup!
Smart move. Always go with your gut. It will never fail you.I gave up on the Xuan Nv because of this video and ordered the Trio for 20$.
