    Aloha all, long time owner here... the headband material is finally flaking on me (literally). what do you all recommend? is there an inexpensive wrap that I can put over it?

    [FiiO M5] Compact and Versatile Hi-Res Music Player

    Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with card formatting on my M5. I've been using an M5 & 256gb card for several years (still on FW1.4.7). I recently purchased a 512gb card (PNY Class 10 U3 SDXC). I formatted the card in the M5 (fat32). After transferring some music to the card (using my...

    Shanling M0 Pro - Ultra-Portable Hi-Fi Player, Now With Balanced Output!

    hi all, once a year I crawl out from under my rock to check out the ultraportable options (slim pickings), so I'm just now noticing the M0 Pro. How is the software/touch experience? I used to have the M2x, but I gave up on it because I always thought the software response was subpar for the...

    Aloha all, selling my seldomly used 15ft Grado extension cable. I bought this early in the e-series run, but it mainly just stayed in the drawer (and now I'm reclaiming some drawer space!) it’s in pristine condition, no issues. $36, pp. includes shipping to CONUS. No trades.

    iPod Touch 7th Generation (2019)

    I've owned several touches and currently have a 128gb 2016 SE that's used solely for locally-stored music. I keep it in airplane mode and on low-power mode. I think it's worth it. Better battery than touches; lasts a long time between charges. Of course, I hate new iOS versions. they sort...

    I used to own rs2e, 325e, and ps500 simultaneously. ultimately, all more similar than different. I found myself using the rs2e the most because it was more comfortable when worn longer. but I'll never forget the sound of Sviatoslav Richter and Toumani Diabate through the 325es. simply stunning.

    Aloha all, selling my Shanling M2x. I’m the original owner and bought it from Musicteck in late 2019. Awesome touchscreen dap with a single micro-sd slot (no internal storage). It’s a great device, but I barely use it. Not much more to say. It’s in perfect condition, comes with box and...

    [FiiO M5] Compact and Versatile Hi-Res Music Player

    Hi all, curious to hear from M5 owners who have pushed it with demanding headphones. Where is the ceiling on this little device?

    Reply to review by 'ayres' on item 'HiBy R6 2020'

    Clearly, all their effort went into this while appointing an intern to oversee the R2

    HiBy R2 - HiBy's entry-level HiFi digital audio player

    The rattling buttons are why I returned mine. Crazy, right? I can't recall any Fiio offerings having such a noisy design flaw. I probably would have kept it, otherwise. I liked the size and would be willing to overlook other things because I'm a basic user. Oh, long title names don't...

    Brainwavz B200 - Dual Armature IEM

    hi all, wondering if anyone else has loose BAs inside the B200 housing. a few weeks ago, I noticed the left item had a slight rattle when holding, and sure enough the two BAs were loose. I'm surprised it happened because I've worn them only a few times in over one year, and they stay stored...

    in short no... but if you’re getting the itch for greener fields, then no one’s advice is going to stop you.

    HiBy R2 - HiBy's entry-level HiFi digital audio player

    Thanks for the response. I don't think I'm being too picky. I've owned enough other budget players over the years, and I don't recall any sort of design compromise that was so audible. For example old Fiio scroll wheels weren't calibrated too well, but at least you didn't hear it when...

    HiBy R2 - HiBy's entry-level HiFi digital audio player

    Thanks, yes it's a strange defect. I'm returning it - but also taking a day or two to play with it to see if I want to buy another one. it's nice. the UI is so-so, and suggests that Hiby hadn't thought too much about the small screen experience. I hope they find some ways to improve it.

    just received mine, and the first thing I noticed was the rattling sound of the buttons. are the loose buttons by design?

    Shanling M2x - TIDAL || Wi-Fi || Both-way LDAC BT & BT Transmitter || Advanced USB transport || FW 2.7

    Does anyone have experience with the generic plastic case that can be found online? Namely, I'm curious about the cutout for the wheel... is it still easy to move the wheel?

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Hi all, good thread here... I have a question: can anyone recommend a 'AirPod-like' bluetooth earbud that supports aptx? I'd prefer something that doesn't seal, and I'm having a hard time in my searching. Thanks!

    New Grado Hemp Limited Edition @ TTVJAudio.com

    This is interesting... Cannibis is not a woody plant with the secondary growth tree species typically produce. So what sort of engineering process produced these?

    Yep, as a matter of fact, I was swiping too hard. It’s just a gentle nudge. A kiss of the screen... Thanks for the reply.

    Shanling M2x - TIDAL || Wi-Fi || Both-way LDAC BT & BT Transmitter || Advanced USB transport || FW 2.7

    @Shanling - to follow up on a previous, volume issue regarding AirPods when paired with m2x... turning the AirPods' volume up to max on my iPhone prior to connecting to m2x solved it. Thanks for the suggestion; I wouldn't have tried that on my own. Another question for anyone who might know...
