Koss KSC75's. Dont Forget This Giant Killer in all the ''Hidden Gem'' Hype.
Amen to this. LG v20 straight to KSC75s with Yaxi pads and headband... heaven. In the process of selling so many things. Simplicity and amazing sound coming out of this setup.- athiker94

LG V20 B&O version?
Hello, I'm trying to find information about the difference between the v20 B&O version and non B&O version. Is there an audible difference? Or, is it branding. Thanks!- athiker94

That is what I was thinking as well. Thanks for the response. I am surprised by the quality and (quantity-now I know) of this phone straight into my system. Good stuff.- athiker94

LG V20 Sound Quality
Was wondering if the LG v20 essentially becomes a pre-amp also when you run from the headphone out to system? A pre-amp and DAC.- athiker94

USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
I've heard that Tidal updated their app to overcome the limitations with the Android systems and DAC access. Is it still worth using UAPP with an LG v20 playing Tidal with the internal DAC? Or, is the Tidal app fine on it's own? Thanks.- athiker94

Earbuds Round-Up
May be asking for too much with this question. But, I'm seeking out an earbud with a planar sound. I use HifiMan He400i phones at home and would love to find something for work with that clear sound. Something with great soundstage , good mids, tight bass and an open full size can sound. I am...- athiker94

Nobsound NS-08E also know as Nobsound 6J9 hybrid tube amp
Do the GE 5654 tubes need burn in? I just put them in over the last few days and they SEEM a dot harsh. I like the original tubes a dot more in their musicality at this point. But, the sound is way more refined and balanced with the new tubes. Just a bit harsh at times. EDIT: the tubes sound...- athiker94

Earbuds Round-Up
I noticed that you rotate the 300ohm version. I haven't tried these yet. Do you like them? How does the sound differ from the other ones. Thanks.- athiker94

Earbuds Round-Up
Wow. I've been listening to the RY4s earbuds (braided cable) with a vintage Marantz 2230 and am completely blown away with these little buds. Just hard to believe that sound is this cheap.- athiker94
