    Introducing NOIRE X

    I’ve replaced a few set of pads on my old Aeon RT and the aeon 2 Noire and I have to agree it’s pretty easy to replace.

    Introducing NOIRE X

    I've had about a week of on and off listening with the Noire X. It very much has that Aeon Closed sound signature from memory but the sub-bass performance sounds much better vs memory and looking through notes from my old Closed RT and Aeon 2 Noire. I always liked the slightly brighter...

    Introducing NOIRE X

    The Voodoo(playful pokes) "sound signature" of the G5 is more neutral-bright. It has the older ESS "Sabre Glare" which adds a metallic sibilance to some notes in the upper mids/lower treble. Like most DAC sound signatures, it's small and hard to hear without having other source gear on hand to...

    Introducing NOIRE X

    I mostly review IEMs but as a fan of the Aeon 2 Noire, I decided to poke my toes back into the full-size pond and bought a pair. Waiting for it to ship but I’m looking forward to these.

    EFFECT AUDIO New release | Signature Series II

    New cables are in! These feel more flexible than the OG cables which were already good. I'm loving the new hardware as well. Great job Effect Audio! I look forward to reviewing these.

    EFFECT AUDIO: Signature Series II Tour - US & EU

    What a happy surprise! I wasn't expecting these to come in so fast. I have to say I really like the quality of the new cables. Definitely more flexible vs the OG Signature cables. I really like the new hardware as well. I thought the old cables were nice given the entry level price but Effect...

    EFFECT AUDIO New release | Signature Series II

    I'll be excited to eventually check these out. I mentioned it in the tour thread but the OG Signature cables all have held up extremely well over the last two years of constant use. No hardening of the cable material, no cracking of material/sleeving and the plugs still have low wear on the...

    EFFECT AUDIO: Signature Series II Tour - US & EU

    Seeing as I use the original Signature line on my weekly rotation IEMs since they launched over two years ago, I look forward to eventually checking these out. The OG Signature cables I've used have had zero issues! No hardening of the sleeving and the plugs have held up without any noticeable...

    I will be joining in as well. Not sure what I'll bring if anything but I'll drag some IEMs and maybe some DAC/amps.

    Review by 'corgifall' on item 'Letshuoer S12 (2024 Anniversary Edition)'

    I loved the original S12 and at the time, it was my preferred planar option since it sounded decently well rounded with a stronger treble that came off as raw sounding which was either a positive or negative depending on the listener's treble preference. Eventually an updated S12 Pro came out...

    Yeah, USB-C is better for sure. I only list the loss of USB-B since I have old expensive cables I can’t use anymore. I consider it a con for those who might be in the same situation. The transition to USB-C on these newer units has been a little slow. I give it maybe a year max before everything...

    Reply to review by 'corgifall' on item 'FiiO M11'

    The biggest issue will be long term support for streaming apps on what is a super old version of Android at this point that all the original M series FiiO DAPs run. Also, the M11 was known to being a brighter sounding DAP overall. I would look for something modern like the Hiby R4. It’s $250...

    LETSHUOER S12 2024 Edition 8th anniversary limited edition

    It was a great planar when the S12 released a year or two back and it sounds darn close to the original.
