Impressions | aune AR5000 Full-Size Open Headphones with MLD Driver
Anyone in Munich this weekend? I heard through the grapevine that Aune will reveal their first closed back circum aurals there! ...would be awesome if someone could report on it :beerchug: . EDIT: Ah, it's already official, the new closed back is called SR7000. ..lol, and there's a picture of...- droid23

Songs that make your headphone WOOOOOW!!!
IMHO one of the best test tracks if you're looking to evaluate your headphones for micro detail representation in bass strings: -
Impressions | aune AR5000 Full-Size Open Headphones with MLD Driver
I didn't even know that Aune has an extra 4.4 balanced cable for the AR5000 (it comes only with a fixed 3.5mm termination but still nice cable). The guy I talked on the phone when I ordered and wanted to ask for the headphone stand, offered it to me for 45'ish. He said it's so new, it's not yet...- droid23

Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp
Can it be that if from Eversolo's side all is fulfilled since actually quite some time, and everyone is waiting for Roon (Harman International) to act accordingly and give the certification, that Roon is slowing down the process intentionally? If so, why? I guess that Eversolo was hoping to...- droid23

Don't bother with an external HDD if you have the option of mounting an internal nvme. I'd go for one of the best 4TB budget nvme's out there at the moment: Crucial P3 4TB Yes, it will cost you "only" about 90 bucks more than your external HDD suggestion, but nvme is totally silent and its also...- droid23

DUNU - Discussion/Impressions Master Thread
Just unpacked my SA6 MkII yesterday and I am only about 10 hours or so in... Oh god, already I can say that the analog-like quality, musicality & tonality, especially with everything string based, is an outright pleasure. I like this tuning a lot for classical music and Jazz. Sure, MkII have no...- droid23

Reply to review by 'droid23' on item 'DUNU Studio SA6 MK2'
What most fascinates me is the effortless near analog sounding tonality and musicality when listening to string quartets e.g. Haydn. Yes yes, the MkII are a very nice pair of IEMs overall and play well in their price range, but strings with the MkII blew me totally away.. oh man, good investment...- droid23

Regarding sibilance and it's typical s and sh prominence: let's not forget that this is pretty much an absolutely normal and natural phenomenon in people's voices. Some have it more (statistically more women since their vocal frequency range is naturally higher than in men; 5-8 kHz vs 3-6 kHz)...- droid23

Oh, and tbh, I definitely wouldn't skip the Glacier for that reason because to my knowledge the Glacier isn't a collab product... maybe you mixed that up with the DaVinci? Nevertheless, the Glacier is quite high on my painful-to-acquire-but-still-wanna-have list :wink:- droid23

I fully understand your thread of thought. I also think that's mostly just marketing bla bla, but what these collaborators mostly do is giving feedback to the engineers on what they think is a "trendy" crowd-pleasing tuning. Sometimes they also have influence on packed accessories and color...- droid23

It seems so if you follow the switch settings "logic" :thumbsup: 🤷♂️ ...and the quotation marks are definitely intentional. KZ seems to have decided to ship the Pro 2 with the most "consumer friendly" tuning a la beats, Bose, and Sony :sweat_smile: I still don't get that this YT reviewer gets...- droid23

No, that's unfortunately not correct. The UUUU setting is not explained anywhere on the official KZ page. Only the guy from Prime Audio Reviews was measuring UUUU and he shows that in this graph. (if you look closely, you can see 5 distinctively different bass response curves in his...- droid23

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
Just found Prime Audio Reviews YT video on the KZ ZS10 Pro 2 and his own measured FQ response curve gives us a hint what [UUUU] does... see the Red line: UUUU seems to give even more bass than KZ is showing us on their official homepage. He doesn't go into too much detail with the other...- droid23

Wow, then even more so it would be interesting how it compares to the mid-range bestseller, the SA6 MkII which is nearly double the asking price. Thanks @pevinkarker !- droid23
