New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
Sorry for my ignorance on the technicalities, so it is important to get a player with really low out impedance, somewhere around 1 ohms? Especially if I'm planning to use the Roxannes at somewhat minimum bass? So what actually happens to the sound when you use a players with say, 10 ohms output...- rainykchan

Does adding an impedance cable such as the 75ohm p to s cable for the etys er4s help solve the impedance mismatch?- rainykchan

Okay from what I understand the varying bass thing is actually kind of like a variable resistor which reduces the amount of current going to the bass drivers. So that means the cable resistor design defines the amount of bass you're going to get. So technically with the high...- rainykchan

Sony NWZ-ZX1 - 35th Walkman Anniversary model
So given the specs the main improvement of ZX1 over the F88x series should be a better amp and double the storge. since the other components seem to be the same, is it safe to say these two machines would have the same lineout quality?- rainykchan

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
I personally would take these Chinese reviews with a grain of salt, since I don't think any of those have heard an actually custom molded roxanne, whereas I am a believer of custom molds being better than universal demos due to my own experiences. Another thing is that there is currently a...- rainykchan

Okay I'm Chinese so I'll try to translate it in a better way. " The largest improvement of roxanne over jh13 is in the highs. The highs in roxanne is more smooth, extended and the decay is rendered in a better way. The crystal clear highs gave roxanne a sound signature which is somehow...- rainykchan

Multi-Custom In-Ear Monitor Review, Resource, Mfg List & Discussion (Check first post for review links & information)
Quote: This sounds interesting, on the product specs page they mentioned using interchangeable high quality film resistors in their cables, I wonder what that does to the sound.- rainykchan

Multi-Custom In-Ear Monitor Review, Resource, Mfg List & Discussion (Check first post for review links & information)
Just read the LCM-5 review, nice and detailed as usual I have to admit I am rather puzzled by this resistor adaptor thing mentioned in your review, does it work like the p to s cable of the er4? Also, have you considered adding the adaptor to other ciems? Basing on the adaptor's ability of...- rainykchan

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Just a mini comparison to the good old ttvj slim: Amp section: The glacier sounds more balanced, clean and open than the TTVJ, with slightly better resolution and imaging. The glacier is more laid back, giving it a nice big soundstage. The glacier also has an edge on the bass, where it has...- rainykchan

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Yeah you have to press both the gain and reset button to get the glacier to "don't demand a lot of current" mode. After that your glacier is good to go.- rainykchan

Apex Glacier amp/dac review and appreciation thread
Yeah I think so, but just FYI, I bought a cabled cck from amazon, hoping I could get the whole setup in a compact form, but it was quite unstable and the device disconnected every 20minutes. By far the apple brand one is very stable, havent failed me once yet. Btw just my humble opinion, the...- rainykchan
