Audeze Mobius review / impressions
After a week of listening to music with the Mobius almost exclusively, here are my impressions in no particular order. These impressions are only about the sound quality and functionality with a smartphone for music only, not games or other applications. Finally, with USB-C or Bluetooth, I...- Ffenix

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
Ordered during Black Friday and the production started Dec. 1. The Christmas holiday (and the BF sale) slowed the process down I suspect.- Ffenix

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
Finally, my pair of A12t has arrived! My custom artwork on the faceplate turned out to be better than I thought it would be. My earliest impression is that it sounds sparkly and the bass is well controlled, as one should expect at this price, otherwise it would be a rip. Aimer's ninelie sounds...- Ffenix

The struggle is real! My pair went into production on Dec. 1. I think this will be my last CIEM purchase for good (in general, not just 64 Audio).- Ffenix

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
My two cents about the KANN, and comparison to the Onkyo DP-X1: As much as I love the Onkyo DP-X1, there are fatal flaws that made me consider purchasing the KANN: it's susceptible to lint and dust getting under its screen, and the battery life is really bad even with the screen turned off. I...- Ffenix

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
The PNY 512GB SD card and the SanDisk 200GB micro SDXC card works with the KANN. To play it safe, I formatted both cards in the KANN.- Ffenix

Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
It's been a looooong wait, but here's my belated Christmas 2015/early Christmas 2016 present from me to me. I'm now waiting for Best in the Verse IEM cable in matching red and blue paracords. I'd like to thank Brannan and Sunny for this wonderful pair and for being patient with my...- Ffenix

Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
Fantastic design as always! Man I think I've mentioned this before, I can't wait for my K10. I've been waiting since the week of Christmas, and these new year holidays are making the wait a bit unbearable not gonna lie. But I'll try to remain patient and hope it is worth the long wait.- Ffenix

ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |
That's a steal, considering the retail price is $900 USD. I paid $700 including shipping and fees, no customs/duty, but I'm still glad I "saved" $200. haha- Ffenix

Yeah, this is bad. My brightness control works on my DP-X1. At its lowest brightness, I can barely see anything due to glare, unless I'm in complete darkness. Sorry, I have no solutions if you tried absolutely everything, including factory reset.- Ffenix

ONKYO DP-X1 | Dual Sabre Dacs | Balanced | Sabre BTL Amp | MQA | DSD 256 | Android 5 |
Well, these are essentially (let's not get it twisted, I'm speaking in general terms) smartphone apps in a non-smartphone device, and Onkyo has never bothered to do this in their original HF Player app, and all I'm saying is that it shouldn't be surprising. Anyway, if Onkyo ever bothers...- Ffenix

Wow this thread has taken a turn. I'm not gonna defend Onkyo or any company for shipping a broken product but some of the concerns to me aren't really errors on Onkyo's part but more like missed opportunities for Onkyo to improve on. For example: (1) Lack of access to folders or directories...- Ffenix
