    Are CD's compressed?

    iBasso DX100 Reference DAP - ES9018 inside

    I'm Chinese and the post that says RMB4000 states, "Old Gong's web buddy estimates it to be RMB4000" verbatim.    Thus.. let's leave the guess work out of the equation and just sit back to enjoy the ride.. cos all numbers coming out are just gonna spoil the surprise, methinks.    peace out.

    Rooth LS8 Custom IEM Review: Crystal Clear Power & Dynamics

    My head is about to burst trying to read through the "Multi Custom IEM review" thread...    Steamed at page 18 with all the extrapolated links!!!    I'm impressed with this LS8 but am hoping secretly that UE18 is a better fit for me for long term listening on the go..

    Quote:   qusp : I'm voicing this out because I'm a little taken aback. I'd like to voice my opinion just as you did without malice if you may.   I may not make much $ but being a trained audio engineer, I like to enjoy music at its highest level.   If product proves itself...

    uelover : for someone who already has as good a setup as yours to call out unaffordable, I think you just spoke the minds of us working class people/struggling students..    Point is if the product has a business case to sell at $1000, it will.   Business cases are built upon (prices vs...

    Nokia X1 : top notch audio quality for under 60$?

    wow.. I didn't know that this X1 is that amazing.. I just got this phone like 3 weeks ago for its dual sim function from a shop across my apartment.    But it didn't come with any micro SD cards, I guess I'm gonna fit one in this evening just to try and see how it goes!    BTW anyone who...

    I wonder if adding a JDS Labs C421 to this would make a substantial enough difference vs the built in headphone out..
