I certainly understand the delay with trying to re-learn how to maneuver around the site. I'm still in whenever you get ready to go.

I listen mostly to heavy metal, hip hop, and electronic music, as well as movie and video game soundtracks. I value detail, clarity, and soundstage above other acoustic qualities.

You know me, Andy, and yes I'm interested. After all, I told you to put in your a-z navigation system. Good on ya! Check my signature and profile for all the info you desire and more.

The timing of this website 'upgrade' isn't great for you. Readership will probably be down for a bit due to functionality issues. Hopefully the leadership council and techies get it all fixed up soonish.

We have indeed run into a bad timing, lets see what we can do after this reschedule, glad to have you on board.

 

[Andykong]

thanks for the update @Andykong
Looking forward to seeing it pick up in Asia as well for you guys! Love the price point and the blutooth dac/amp functionality!

I'm fine with me alone doing the review alone in this region as long as i get to try stuff

i did the review on Cayin i5 before

Many thanks for your kind understanding, lets hope the responds will be improved in next few days.

Hi Andy!

I would be interested in participating, but I would also have to ask if I could go last, at the end of a tour.

If this is possible, count me in!

Looks like you are a phone-based headfier and is exploring the DAP possibility? This is exactly the customer that N3 is targeted for. Welcome on-board,

Well, since I am in Mexico and this is a worldwide tour, I guess I'll join.

I also interviewed Jude Mansilla and John Grado regarding the Apple Earpods and their impact in the market:

I plan on more audio reviews here, focusing on headphones, portable amps and DIY, among other things.

I listen mostly to heavy metal, classical, prog and jazz, but lately some pop has been also on rotation. Depeche Mode is one of my faves.

I am a weird mix of an audiophile and a basshead. I had cans like the Sennheisser Momentum and the AKG K-44 as well as the Amps made by Norm Lagarno. As for players the Colorfly C3 was a favorite for a long time.

Thanks

I agree, with the price that you guys are launching this, I hope to see a lot of people with very entry level android phones picking up this unit! I work in cellular sales my self, and while I respect LG efforts with the V20, I'm still not impressed :/

So I'm looking forward to hearing it my self, but also seeing what user's like that think of it!

Like HiSoundFi I'm also a busy dude. It would be wiser to manipulate my placement to the end. This might be my last tour I participate in that I haven't organised. My review backlog is daunting!

 

[Layman1]

I would love to be a part of this tour.
I recently reviewed the Shanling M2s, similarly priced, and have heard great things about the N3 and feel it might be more to my taste!

Heh, fancy seeing you here...

Awesome! I've used DAPs in the past (1st and 2nd gen Fiio X1) but I don't own one currently. There was a review of the N3 on Headfonia which put it on my radar, so I'm glad to get the chance to test it out.

 

[Andykong]

Any last minute reviewer wants to jump on board? I'll wrap up the reviewer list later tonight and sort things out over the weekend.

@Andykong i got my submission, hope to see myself in it, had review history with cayin
