    Audiophile iOS audio player

    I think it's pretty great! You have to go into Settings / Playback / Sample Rate Matching -> choose Strict. Hi-res works for me via CCK to a Fiio BTR15. The quality of the UI, as well as the cataloguing and playlist/collection management features make it an easy recommendation over just about...

    CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread

    GREAT recommendations! Thank you! (And do you recommend any other forum threads for sharing music like this?) Staying on topic, I will mention that I took my F5s out for a walk in Central Park yesterday. All rugged up against the cold, with an iPhone, CCK and Dragonfly Cobalt powering. Great...

    CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread

    Holy crap, these sound amazing. First impressions: deep controlled bass and a nice wide soundstage. And check out the wonderful xmas packaging! I wish I could remember what design I chose so I could describe it here. From memory it was the Dark Wine Red transparent shells with red/blue tips...

    My F5s are on the way, can't wait to try them out. Especially on some of those tracks - absolutely killer stuff, thanks for sharing!

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    Absolutely - SQ is right up there with my Multibit Jot. And so convenient.

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    Summer is ending but the tunes aren’t. Here’s my current patio setup. IPad Pro streaming lossless hi-res to the Dragonfly Cobalt (maybe you can see it’s lit up blue) and then to the mighty CustomArt FIBAE 4.

    Custom Art FIBAE 4 announcement

    They’re here! I haven’t had much of a chance to listen yet, but very impressed so far. SQ is amazing Agree with others re the \__/ sound signature. Comfort is excellent, feels like I can wear these all day. The stock cable is also great, very light and tangle-resistant. Very happy so far.

    Custom Art FIBAE 4 announcement

    Tomorrow marks 2 months since getting the email that my payment was received, and that “typical turnaround is 4-5 weeks”. Also it’s been 2 weeks since I inquired about status and got a “2 more weeks” reply. Surely I’m not the only person getting impatient here?

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Hey guys looking closely at the H2 as a home+transportable dac. Will probably be sourcing directly from iPad Pro USB or maybe a streamer in future. My forthcoming CustomArt FIBAE 4 will be the headphone of choice for portable use. At home maybe feeding the Jotunheim+Elears (until the upgrade bug...

    Sent impressions, sent funds, and now we play the waiting game! Ahh the waiting game sucks, let's play hungry hungry hippos speculate about suitable portable amps to go with the F4. iFi xCan anyone?

    Custom Art FIBAE 4 announcement

    Also ordered, yay. Been lurking here for a while, looking for a replacement for my first CIEMs (InEarz reshelled TF10s) which I stupidly left on a plane last Dec. These look like a perfect replacement, except for the waiting! Is it possible to order the custom design which is displayed on the...

    Cable recommendations for 2-pin CIEMs and iPhone

    Hey guys, I've been searching for a while now to find a cable which I can use with my Inearz CIEMS (with 2-pin connectors) and my iPhone X. I use my CIEMs for commuting every day and I love them - comfortable and just the right amount of isolation. I want a cable which is comfortable and sturdy...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    You probably should contact Schiit about this. The upgrade DAC should come with a standoff which you screw the upgrade board to. If it’s any consolation, my upgrade came with the standoff but no back bracket. However they were super responsive and have shipped me the missing part. When it...

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Yeah they lock in pretty well - there’s a small gap between the plug and the housing, but overall it fits great. The XLR is an Amphenol branded hard plastic plug. The y-splitter is fairly chunky but looks well made. Overall, very happy.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Just wanted to say that although there have been very few (1?) references to Periapt cables, I think they deserve more recognition in this thread. For a long time I couldn’t find a satisfactory replacement for the crazy factory cable. Pretty sure I don’t have to explain how unwieldy this thing...

    OK, canceled with adorama and ordered from Moon Audio, saved a bunch on tax too! Can't wait

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Yeah I tried contacting them, got put on hold for 20 mins then disconnected. I think this is a sign I need to cancel and order from somewhere else.

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Anyone else who ordered their Elears from Adorama via the $699 deal? If so did you get delivery, or was it backordered? I'm on backorder and starting to get impatient! Wondering when is too soon to start hassling them for delivery dates?
