This reminds me, I keep meaning to sell my 1000 & 2000 lol

I'm still experiencing some sharpness in the treble (lots of 'tch' and sibilance) that I've never heard before on some recordings. I've been playing around with the two different volume systems to see if I can mitigate it. I'm using a FIIO M17 player (Apt HD bluetooth) and the volume on the...

I reset the database but the cover art did not appear. It was embedded. I then tried replacing the art and it worked fine. What should I expect in the future when adjusting cover art or meta-data: should I always reset the database or does the app recognize when a file has been modified...

Question: I noticed I had an album without cover art, so I replaced the .FLAC files with ones that had the cover art. I then had the FIIO music player rescan all folders but it didn't update the cover art (it still is blank). Do I need to reset database for this situation?

I also agree that if someone listens to bass heavy music then a bass-heavy headphone would probably not be a good match. I think a headphone that adds a little bass can be good for some older music that is bass-challenged to begin with.

Thanks, I own the Bathys and they were my favorite until the Dali. The Bathys do have a lot more bass but are nowhere as good in terms of clarity, soundstage etc. I play bass so I appreciate hearing basslines and bass texture as well as I do on the Dalis - perhaps my issue is the highs...

I'm wondering how many people are listening via USB cable vs Bluetooth? If USB, any recommendations on brand of cable? I'm trying to maximize the sound without resorting to EQ and after owning them for over a month I'm finding the bass to be somewhat anemic. I don't use the Bass mode because...

Resetting the database worked. Thank you!

Congrats!

Yes, I did a full rescan. What seems to be happening is that the albums are removed from the Albums view, but not the Genres view.

I guess we're all different lol

Question for someone smarter than me: how do you delete albums successfully? I've removed some and they still show up in the FIIO Music player... Thanks.

At this point I think my only complaint is the volume control. I find it so hard to get my finger on the right spot without accidentally pausing the song.

May I ask why you need to reset it?

Yeah, just discovered that. I'm also seeing volume changes on the IO-12 reflected as 'gain' changes on the M17 (even though the volume doesn't change) so I'm all set. Thanks!

Questions for people smarter than myself: Note: I'm using a FIIO M17 DAP. 1) How do you know what the current volume level of the IO-12s is? When I raise or lower it the volume value on my DAP doesn't change. Both volume controls seem to be independent of each other. 2) I tried USB...

One problem I have with the IO-12 is that there is too little clamping force due to me having a narrow head (where they would slide off if I bent over). So I wear a baseball cap along with them and it works fairly well - and the lack of a strong clamping feeling is actually very comfortable.

Everything you say makes sense to me. I have never been a 'sit and listen to headphones' guy. If I'm going to sit down and listen I'd prefer speakers. But If I can go for walks and listen I'm very happy. I've owned many IEMs and DAPs and have Focal Stellia etc and I'm so happy with the...

There are other ear pads?

Oh it's a camera, lol. I was thinking "Fujifilm is now making headphones????"

When I mentioned electrostats in my post above, I was not thinking headphones so much as actual speakers... and I was comparing the IO-12 to the Bathys in that respect. To add further context, I have no experience with Seinheiser other than H-650s (which I don't like at all) and I've never...

Other than price? No. The Bathys is voiced differently - more midrange (and lower midrange) but the quality of the sound is not as good. The Bathys sound 'cheap' by comparison.

I am a week into ownership of the Dali-IO-12. I have been using Bathys since they were released and they immediately became my headphones of choice as they sound great with all genres (and do justice to older rock music that sounds somewhat anemic on my 2 channel non-headphones system). I am...

Bass module? Do you mean Bass eq mode?

Wow, I didn't think there was anything out there that could out-perform the Bathys. I might have to try the iO-12...
