Recommendations for earbud similar to Meze 11 Neo & Xiaomi Piston?
I bought a set of Meze 11 Neo earbuds and was really happy with the sound until I realized how horrid the microphonics are.. Like, can't shift your body an inch in any direction without intrusive microphonics. Any recommendations for earbuds that are mostly flat with a little forwardness in...- Snoodge

Reply to review by 'snoodge' on item 'Xiaomi Pistons 2.0 MK301'
The OP's post borderline breaks my heart because it's so untrue. Is the OP sure he didn't accidentally review counterfeit phones? I've bought 5'ish pair over the years and 3/5 were fake with completely garbage sound. Headphones you wouldn't even give away to a child because they're worse than...- Snoodge

FiiO E07K ANDES Review and Help Thread
I believe you that the E07K has a greater output rating, however I just switched an E7 out for an E07K and noted those volume differences. So the only thing that I can come up with as a contributing factor is the fixed volume that the E7 had. But even that doesn't square the issue, because it...- Snoodge

[Review] iBasso D-Zero, with FiiO E7 Comparison
If that were the case, why are people reporting that when using the E07K with Wasapi/ASIO the volume control still works as if you weren't using one of those API's at all?- Snoodge

[Review] iBasso D-Zero, with FiiO E7 Comparison
Can someone confirm that the D-Zero bypasses the windows audio mixer and volume control by default? I recently purchased an E07K to replace an E7 and was super pissed when I found out that Fiio apparently buckled to the pressure of dumb people wanting to use their keyboard volume...- Snoodge

Fiio E07k Not Bypassing the Volume
Why did they do this? The new unit looks better and has a fresher feel, but now i'm literally going to have to buy an old product just to get good sound again. What the hell.- Snoodge

FiiO E07K ANDES Review and Help Thread
Just got an E07K as a replacement for an E7 that I lost and i'm really disappointed. Wanted to ask a couple of questions before I return it. 1) This unit doesn't bypass the windows audio mixer by default like the E7 did. Any way to fix this? And no, using Foobar or ASIO4All isn't a...- Snoodge

Fiio E07k Not Bypassing the Volume
WOW... Fiio should really be advertising this, because it's a MAJOR departure from the product that it replaces. I had an E7, which gloriously bypassed Windows mixer on ANY computer without installing drivers and messing with settings. I go and purchase the "upgraded' unit that replaces...- Snoodge

Using HDMI -> line-out from Computer Monitor as DAC
I just wanted to comment in here because I feel like the OP is being misunderstood. You guys arent following the chain of components very well. Going Video Card w/HDMI ---> Monitor with HDMI ---> Monitor's Fixed Line Out ---> Small Amp Is definitely better than almost any...- Snoodge

DLO HomeDock HD
I purchased a HomeDock HD when it came up on Slickdeals for like $40. I have it connected to my Onkyo A/V TX-SR607 via HDMI and it sounds outstanding. I'm still wondering how the sound is actually coming from the iPod Touch though. Has anybody been able to establish whether or not it's...- Snoodge

Sony EX-71 + UE Super.Fi gels = Epic Techno/Rap Bass
I know nobody will appreciate this observation because most of you guys take hi-fi too seriously to enjoy a good skull thumping, but the EX-71 IMO is the closest you can come, and in some cases better than full sized cans if you want to bump your head with bass for techno/rap. Just figured this...- Snoodge
