    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    There is a trick to read between the lines with the free stuff reviewers after you read lots of their reviews. They try to be gentle as much as they can however there are some tells that give the reviews away if they really like the iem or not , no need to write them off immediately. They’ve...

    crinacle's IEM Ranking List

    In my opinion Vx works well with almost each source and more entertaining when paired with warmer sources and might feel boring with neutral or brighter sources. But it is an iem you can take anywhere and pair with anything, there is almost no bad synergy as far as my sources go.

    HiBy R8 User Impressions

    It's doing mqa 16x upsampling i think.. My unit was trying to play 44.1khz songs in 48khz speed so they replaced the unit. The sound pitch shift was so funny.

    HiBy R8 User Impressions

    It mostly depends on the country and the local agents, here local Dhl agent delivers the day they receive it, Fedex agent slacks for a couple of days. But until it comes to local agent both are very fast.

    Cayin N3Pro DAP: Dual AK4493 and MQA with Vacuum Tube

    So as promised, i compared them n8ss in tube mode high gain p+, n3pro high gain ultralinear. Used Anole Vx (all switches off)which will do justice to the daps because of its high resolution less coloration(for my ears). Songs all flac: Abba Gimme Gimme, Alphaville Big in Japan, Eagles Hotel...

    Precog's IEM Reviews & Impressions

    As buonassi explained there is always some science involved and sometimes people claiming others are fools just being ignorant to the subject and not digging. All my claims are based on experience and I try to be scientific as possible and try to ask from discord or here in headfi whenever I...

    Wow ignore any suggestions , questions or ideas you don’t like, big grown up move. The reviewer himself was kind enough to respond to me that he thinks it breaks consistency but he might do it in the future and then everybody comes starting to beat me. I have nothing against you gentlemen. And...

    Precog's IEM Reviews & Impressions

    I’ve tried a/b Samsung and apple with the same dac/amp and heard the difference, so you’re saying they are sending the same 1s and 0s to the digital analog converter and how come you can hear difference? Yes that is what amazes me. There is no analogue crap involved, no impedance no hf filter no...

    It means music source is also important, both apple and Samsung tidal , the only difference was lightning to usb dongle and usb c to usb a dongle for df. Yet the difference was huge. Like MacBook Vs pc difference for music source.

    No you misunderstood me, I have both iPhone and Samsung not being a fanboy of anything, tested them both as music source with df and apple with its dongle also, it was my observation. Let’s say it’s been a long year and I had looots of free time😂

    iPhone is miles ahead of Samsung , tried df cobalt with both and the difference was huge , Samsung was just dull as music source, also apple dongle itself has plenty driving power, it is very impressive for the price.
