    Koss mods...

    It took 15 years but here's a trio of mods freshly done. All three have MMCX socket replacements. Porta Pro on KSC75 earhooks and headband driver joint replacement.

    to my ears, the LingLong (with FiiO HS18 tips) is the younger brother of the Rhapsody; a great EDC

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Can anyone recommend a dac, in price bracket and form factor, of similar SQ (or better, if marginal) to the sonata hd II? also, recommend one that works well with car audio via aux jack. I've used the apple (US version) and google (current version) dacs where I currently use the google one with...

    Moondrop in-ear monitors Impressions Thread

    regarding the space travel, is there an internal difference between the white and the newer black model? by contrast, iirc, there were changes between the black and white models of the nekocake?
