    Earbuds Round-Up

    So I've finally received the Yinman 600s. I liked their sound signature right away. This has to be the first set of ear/headphones I've owned where the AMP REALLY makes a difference and not just in the volume that they put out. The volume is more than enough even without any amplification. They...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thank you! Is there a store that ships the Yinman 600s to Europe? I'm getting a "page missing/item not available in your country" on your links and struggling to find these anywhere outside of Aliexpress.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thanks! It does sound like they'd fit me well. My only concern is their super low impedance. My FF5s are already picking up quite a bit of hum from the amp at 45ohm. I'm guessing the 16ohm on the Yincrows would exacerbate the issue, right?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I’m thinking $300, but I’m open to pricier suggestions if they’re really worth it.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    My fav pair of headphones would be the LCD2Cs or the R70xs. I find myself using the R70xs more because of comfort. My current source is the iFi Zen DAC v2 / Zen Can combo. As you can probably guess, I'm not a fan of overly analytical sound. The R70xs, to me, are pretty much perfect without any...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I recently purchased the FF5s not really expecting anything and didn't really like them at first. After EQing them though, I've fallen in love with them. Still, I wonder, as we all do, is the more expensive stuff that's out there really worth it? I like warm, neutral sound signatures so I was...

    Equalizer APO & bit-perfect playback

    I'd like to run Equalizer APO with my LCD2Cs, because the right EQ can make them sound like heaven. How do you guys choose between the two? Is bit-perfect playback worth not being able to to EQ your headphones? If I make sure no other audio streams are sent to my DAC, am I still somehow...

    Apple Music HiFi

    Can't you like / save / favorite a bunch of tracks or albums and get recommendations? Apple sucks pretty hard compared to Tidal or Spotify, but it should give you some recommendations based on your listening and liking history. I wouldn't hold my breath when it comes to Amazon Music delivering a...

    Favorite streaming platform for highest quality sound?

    Tidal. Good SQ and best music suggestions (beats Spotify in my case).

    Exclusive Mode

    Depends. For streaming the only solutions are Audirvana and Roon. Roon even has some built-in crossfeed if you're into that. They both support exclusive mode, meaning they can do bitperfect and they let you add software EQ to the chain. They work with various streaming platforms. The only issue...

    Anyone into crossfeed?

    While it doesn't sound like a bad idea to forgo the crappy software implementations in favor of a hardware one, I don't think I'm ready to drop that kind of money on a DAC. I I'm currently using the LCD2Cs with Aune T1SE, and was hoping to upgrade to something at most as expensive as the...

    Anyone into crossfeed?

    Do you guys make it work with streaming services somehow? I just trialed Roon which has a built-in crossfeed (and many other issues that unfortunately make the platform a no-go for me) and it reminded me how great it can sound. APO is kinda janky, are there any other solutions to use it with...

    Deezer now streaming lossless

    I've just trialed Amazon HD again and unfortunately it's a mess on Windows and Mac. The bit perfect implementation is still extremely buggy and isn't really bit perfect (unless you manually match the settings in Windows with what's playing.) There are numerous other bugs that make it annoying to...

    Deezer now streaming lossless

    Nope. Tidal and Amazon seem to be the only ones featuring this. Although last I checked Amazon was a bit problematic in that regard.
