    Hifiman RE-800

    😂 Thanks for sharing your story! I'm really glad to read about your positive experience! Hopefully these last longer than my other hifiman iems, given their previous flagship status! It would be great if they'd invest a little of the audio R&D into making much more stable and durable...

    Hifiman RE-800

    Oh yeah!! The first great thing I got from lurking this site were those RE-0, or maybe even RE-1 (so long ago now, I have trouble remembering the very first set)? Whichever was cheaper in 2008-2009. They revolutionized music for me, but boy are hifiman iems ever fragile, lol. These retain...

    Hifiman RE-800

    I may not be experiencing driver flex because I lift the top of the ear when inserting, like you do with any sealed deep inserting iem or hearing protection earplugs. Then they easily slide into position and I release the ear and don't touch them again. I learned this for getting a perfect seal...

    Hifiman RE-800

    These are just absolutely stunning in my LG V60. Holy &$-$-@_

    Hifiman RE-800

    Mine have zero driver flex and I use the largest included triple flange tips.

    Hifiman RE-800

    They seem to be legit. I bought a set and they match all the characteristics of RE800 perfectly. I recall reading on audiosciencereview that a user measured the cheaper ones from AliExpress against a set purchased from hifiman and they are either genuine or such a perfect counterfeit there's no...

    Shanling M1s - Ideal Compact Portable Player

    Yeah, I was really grouchy about it, but I won't waste any more energy being angry about it. I will keep pressuring Shanling to make their very good players great and not buy any more of their products and recommend that others pick a brand that cares more about user's feedback until the issue...

    Shanling M1s - Ideal Compact Portable Player

    😂 Not offended, but isn't the entirety of head-fi devoted to solving first-world problems? If the limit was advertised, which it is not, I just wouldn't have bought it, because I would have known it didn't suit me - no biggie. Obviously I found out about the limit after I could return it for...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Hell yeah! I was thinking it was kinda power-hungry, but I objectively measured it using my phone's battery reporting and it's not. It's a great app! I think the included EQ is good too - no audible distortions, but I only slightly bump the bass on my more bass-lean "neutral" headphones, for...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    I understand now. With UAPP, you don't need to upscale the bits to avoid frequency resampling. UAPP bypasses Android audio resampling regardless of your source bits/frequency as long as your DAC supports that format. The LG quad DAC supports native 16/44.1 KHz format, so UAPP will just send that...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Why would anyone want UAPP or anything else to upscale? It does not improve 16 bit sound to upscale to 24 or 32. In fact, it can sound worse and can introduce distortion and noise (if badly implemented, if well implemented it's still just source-transparent with no audible issues) not to...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Well, I've been using PowerAmp and UAPP, and in their default configurations they both seem to draw very little power. I think the power draw of the actual headphones/headphone jack and DAC/Amp circuits is much higher than either app and they are both very, very low power draw apps according to...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Hi fellow UAPP users. Is it just me or is UAPP a power hog compared to PowerAmp? Both apps are excellent music players imo, so I'm not concerned about the subjective experience of either. Both are source-transparent on my V60 to my ears in non-blind A/B testing, but as I was switching back and...

    Shanling M1s - Ideal Compact Portable Player

    So basically what I said - change one number, issue gone. Just unacceptable. This also confirms my other, unvoiced, hypothesis that the track limitation in library comes from someone that is not the end user deciding what acceptable performance looks like and not from a true limitation. Most...

    Shanling M1s - Ideal Compact Portable Player

    Well I'm glad to hear it is not an intentional sales tactic, obviously. Thank you for this helpful insight into the software development history. Unfortunately, none of that resolves the issue. I had and have no expectation that this issue will be addressed in a timely manner, if at all, and I...
