    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Hello! Sorry about your headband, good luck with repairs/ upgrade. On a different note, I noticed in your gear list that you’re using Sennheiser IE 900 for portable use. Could you possibly describe or compare its sound signature and other characteristics with the Elear‘s? I do know that...

    @Sennheiser - It would be nice if a demo or listening session at any place can be arranged locally as I’m looking to purchase the IE300. Sennheiser has been the brand that got me into high fidelity headphone audio in the first place more than a decade ago. Unfortunately there are practically no...

    Vorzüge VorzAMP PURE II - review and impressions

    Sorry if this has been asked or answered before, but would the Vorzamp products be an overkill if connected to the Mojo? I'm using Focal Elear as my main headphones. Thanks in advance!

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Ola from India, Having owned the X2's since 2015, I too thought of trying something more refined, especially in the treble region since that's where I felt the X2 were slightly 'grainy' sounding, and I ended up buying the Focal Elear. I must say they can be considered a well rounded upgrade...

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Hello there, I had the same issue about a month ago, then took it to Bombay (Mumbai) where the dealer (one of two here in India) checked the headphones, said that the coil was broken (he didn't know the reason, told me it could've been a sudden blast of high volume, which I highly doubt) and...

    Cowon Plenue D

    Hey, that's great then. Do share your impressions soon. Would you be using it as a transport or purely as a stand alone Dap? I believe it has digital out as well. Maybe it's just what you wanted. Enjoy! Cheers

    Cowon Plenue D

    Hello, Don't know if you've ordered yet, but as per your stated requirements/ preferences, the Plenue D is still one of the best buys for exactly those purposes. Also do have a look at the newer similar sized DAPs released by Cowon, named Plenue J & Plenue V. As regards the Plenue D (and Cowon...

    Seems Cowon is releasing new players by the bunch; just spotted this little sharp looking player (don't know how the ergonomics would turn out though) on the Cowon India page, do have a look: Plenue V...

    Good to see the Plenue D in the midst. Also, is that a Sony ZX300 DAP towards the left? And what is that player on the top left? Looks like an AK KANN

    Hidizs AP60II - youngest in HiRes family but worth every cent

    Thanks indeed for your suggestions, I'll see what I can come up with. Meanwhile, I've impatiently pulled the trigger on the AP60 (Mk II), couldn't wait for the Shanling M0, and also thought the 1.54" screen might be too tiny for yours truly! Anyway its a small increase in price from the 1st gen...

    Hidizs AP60II - youngest in HiRes family but worth every cent

    Thanks for the suggestion; yes, I've already checked it out. Only drawback I saw was how to connect it to Mojo with rubber bands without covering the tiny screen!

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Thanks for this reply, you've made my choice quite easy (I asked the question because I didn't want to waste $100-200 on just a transport that would otherwise buy me a sonic upgrade). I've now decided to go for a cheap transport/ DAP that I can hook up to the Mojo, and somehow use my phone's...

    Hidizs AP60II - youngest in HiRes family but worth every cent

    Need some advise folks; planning to purchase this for mainly 2 purposes - to use purely as a transport for my Mojo, and also to access my phone's streaming apps through the DAP (connected to the Mojo of course). I hope I got the usability scenario correct; am I right? Thanks in advance, &...

    Focal Elear - Impressions Thread

    Folks, need some amping advice here. Apologies in advance for not being patient enough to read through the 5000+ messages on the thread, will probably read through in due course. So I'm using the Mojo (hooked to my Fiio X3 1st gen) as my main source for the Elear, and would like to know your...

    Alright, I would personally recommend a DAP for purely portable use and for your streaming preferences, one that you feel doesn't compromise too much on your main home setup (maybe the X7 II instead of X5 III?). If you are comfortable attaching something like the Mojo to your iPhone or Android...

    Both are different devices altogether in terms of use and usability. I use the Mojo, but don't stream any music. My Mojo stays attached to my DAP (currently a FiiO X3 1st gen) and plays via its coaxial output. Your IEMs would be suited to both the Mojo and X5iii as far as I know. Sound-wise I...

    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    Hello there, I've been reading through this thread for a while now finalising on purchasing the iSine 20. Your discussions with @KMann seem to answer my query with regard to my setup, which is a Mojo driven via coaxial out of FiiO X3 (1st gen). So I'm more keen on knowing your early...
