    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    Thanks! A little more confused now! :P Do you tend to use one more than the other? I'm still leaning towards the Mojo since it's -AU$200 at the moment and I feel like if I ever want to get it this is the time! Fiio Q5s can wait - considering how quickly Fiio keeps iterating their products by...

    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    I can see why the R3 matches with the Mojo. I was thinking of using the M6 on the same setup except it isn't as nicely stacked. Your 3d printed case looks great I was also thinking of doing when I get the Mojo... Looks like the Mojo with the M6 (which I have all ready) should be able to do a...

    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    Thanks guys definitely leaning towards the Mojo... The Chord Poly looks so good but it's definitely way out of my budget (but I suppose being an add on it's something I can aspire to!) @gazzington I was slightly tempted with the Hiby line but not the R3 as it's too similar to the Fiio M6 - the...

    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    So.. I've noticed that the Chord Mojos are now selling for AU$599 I was looking at the Fiio Q5S (selling for AU$530) but with all the positive reviews for Chord Mojo and the price drop, I'm a little unsure. Is the price drop a sign that Chord is updating the Mojo? The Bluetooth option in the...

    How are you connecting to airplay? It's work on my local network as well as hotspot from the iPhone. Do you have other airplay devices on your network? Airplay requires wifi connection... With bt streaming there's an option in the BT menu to make it a receiver. You'll then need to turn BT...

    [FiiO M6] Portable High-Resolution Lossless Music Player,Embracing A Wireless Future

    Thanks. Unfortunately all files that I a using for comparisons are actually 16bit/44.1khz (and in ALAC) format So..... I understand that sound quality is subjective but it sounds very different. It's almost as if the music in unamped (that's the best I can do!) Yeah I can't wait until it can...

    Comply Foam Tips for Sleek Audio SA 1?

    I know this is an old thread but..   I can confirm that the T-140 (for the Apple In-Ears) DO fit the Sleek Audio SA1. It's a bit of a tight squeeze but at least it doesn't pop off like the included double flanges. Also paired with the W1 (Kleer wireless receiver) its a joy as I feel it is...

    Should I sell my brand new replacement Shure SCL4

    Hmmm... I just sent my E4C and E500PTH - both suffered from cracked cables (I know I'm lucky...) Anyhoo they replaced the units. But now I have a brand new SCL4 should I sell it?!? I got my E4C before the E500 and have since been using the E4c's for the gym and was going to downgrade it...

    Best unamped IEM for under $200?

    super.fi 5 pro as well from me.... The bass is just a little more 'forward' - at the expense of the lower mids.... and they're reasonably priced as well...
