    Reply to review by 'daverdoodles' on item 'Tin HiFi T4'

    You mentioned having the KZ ZSX, I too have that model and found it to be amazing for the price. How do the T4's stack up directly against the ZSX? I have some T4's on the way but I was just curious what your thoughts were.

    Fiio Q1 MkII not powerful enough for HE400i?

    I think the high gain was my issue, I never used it with the old headphones and therefore kind of forgot all about it. It did make a pretty large difference, and slightly addressed that "recessed" issue. Not by a large margin but enough to tell me that something WAS missing. The rest of the...

    Fiio Q1 MkII not powerful enough for HE400i?

    Correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that the cables that come with the headphones are already balanced cables. I believe I read that on here somewhere. The 2.5mm connectors that go in to the headphone have the 2 black rings on the connector (Which I believe means balanced?)

    Fiio Q1 MkII not powerful enough for HE400i?

    This may actually be my issue. I would not have had the device set to high gain with my M40x's. That will be something I try when I get home from work. Thanks again!

    Fiio Q1 MkII not powerful enough for HE400i?

    I wouldn't think they would make the second edition less powerful but really I have no clue. I will double check my gain mode, that may actually be my issue as I wouldn't have had it on high gain with the M40x's. The bass boost just muddies the waters I find.

    Fiio Q1 MkII not powerful enough for HE400i?

    I understand, I do not listen to music at too high of volumes, but it still feels just like it could use a touch more amplification is all. The dial is at 10, if the dial went to 12 that would probably be where it would feel too loud, as a weird example. This is my next step, I got a 3.5mm to...

    Fiio Q1 MkII not powerful enough for HE400i?

    Hey everyone, I just upgraded from a ATH-M40x to the Hifiman He400i. The M40x were obviously easy to drive through the Fiio Q1 MkII (borderline unnecessary even), and I assumed with the power output that little device was capable of that it would easily drive the 400i's as well. Maybe because...

    Hey everyone, I am new to the Audiophile world. Thought I would dip my toes in the water and ended up drowning.
