    Obscure Chinese DAPs

    I agree that the software in the cheaper Chinese DAPs I s pretty ordinary but the Hidizs AP80 DAPs have a very good Hiby based software system and that includes e reader and step counter for walking. I think anybody starting to pay around $150 for a “cheap” DAP shoul look at Hidizs and see if...

    Seems likely that if they've sold out the first batch that they would stick with the same sound. It's obviously been successful. Which is good to see as Geek Wold has been trying something a bit different.

    Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??

    I should mention that I have several of Eric's amps for my large component audio - the big two being a 300B, and a 6L6GC (strapped as triode). He's exceptional at capturing a clean tonal quality from valves / tubes. I don't own a 6as7 amp, but have heard one of Eric's and the tonal quality...

    Eric McChanson Headphone Amp??

    It's a dual / double triode. Left and right channels are handled by a single tube. For a power amp driving big box speakers, two tubes could be used in a different circuit to achieve a higher power output. But not needed for headphones and IEMs.

    Comments throughout the forums suggest that any new release that departs from Harmon-style tuning will impact adversely on treble sensitive listeners, some of whom are quite vocal about how much they dislike the "hot" treble. A copper cable should assist in a more balanced listening experience...

    It should be relatively easy to drive. As @baskingshark said higher up the thread "the 17 ohm impedance isn't much of an issue with regards to source pairing. Based on the audiophile rule of eights, dividing the transducer impedance by 8, that is the maximum value for the output impedance of...

    The existing impedance of 17 ohms is pretty okay, isn't it?

    Yeah, outside my budget, but it is a complex IEM, so I guess I can understand the pricing. Maybe I can sell some IEMs I already have.:cry:
