    FiiO&JadeAudio Over-Ear Headphones Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Did you receive the balanced cable for it they advertised for buying if from AliExpress? Have heard a thing about it and I received the headphones yesterday. Btw made the mistake of trying them before breaking them in. They sound super bad until about 8 hours of break in time. What a difference...

    Tin HiFi Impressions Thread

    It's a different sound profile completely from the others. Some have said it close to Harmon curve but chopped off. It's a very popular sound right now. It's my preferred iem at the moment for shorter listening sessions but still want it wired.

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    Nice review. I think the big question is: Are these audiophile good? Or just mainstream consumer good. Seems like these are actually audiophile grade. Can't wait. Some are disapointed the amplifier can't be used with an external DAC

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    I work for an airline so can fly standby but anyways too late. Going to catch one sometime soon though. I decided to go for it. Backed it for the June batch.

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    Thanks for the info. I watched Zeos review of it but it felt different then his other reviews. It sounds similar in some ways to Sennheiser "vale" but better extension. Took me a while to adjust when I first got the 650's but learned to love them. Unfortunately open back headphones are a no go...

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    When is the New York show? Even more important: When are they going to have a CanJam in Miami? Oddly enough it's not a good city for checking out audiophile stuff.

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    What I guess I am waiting for is a true audiophile type review comparing them to other closed planar headphones. Frankly nobody has even said what they actually sound like. Such as bright, neutral, v shaped, soundstage or similar to a certain headphone. Do they sound like the PM3? Like I said...

    DROP + THX Panda Announcement

    So tempted to back this since I was actually looking at the PM3. I really like the planar sound (using M560 right now) and a built in THX amp is awesome but the timing could be better. The thing is I am worried that they are being overhyped as Drop seemed to push hard on a wide variety of...

    ZiShan T1 Hi-Fi Player Thread

    Sorry stock. Have not tried rockbox yet. I wish someone did a detailed comparison. Measurements and all. I will probably try it out at some point just for the themes. :) All Zishan T1 the same but option of different DAC modules. All can use the rockbox firmware.

    ZiShan T1 Hi-Fi Player Thread

    The stock firmware has all kinds of tiny bugs. Play won't start on first boot until you tap the button several times. The eq is a mess. Sometimes it does not turn on. Half of the sliders are above 10k. Other oddities. Never had to calibrate the touch panel. It does sound really good. I use the...

    ZiShan T1 Hi-Fi Player Thread

    I used Rockbox back in the ipod video days. It's pretty basic. Has a lot of plugins though. I haven't tried it due to the reencoding. It's a shame they haven't found a work around. How's the battery life with Rockbox compared to stock?

    Note 10 plus official sound quality thread

    According to reviews the colbat is a big upgrade. I have a S10 with an actual headphone jack. It can run my M560 planars louder then m LG V35 (low impedance mode). The sound quality is actually pretty good. MQA is supported with UAPP. The Note most likely would have used the same setup if it...

    ZiShan T1 Hi-Fi Player Thread

    Still waiting for updates. Seems interest has fallen off. Maybe they will release the source for the firmware at least so we can continue the development.

    Is the DAP dead?????

    I bought the HUAWEI MediaPad M3 because it has a Ak 4376 DAC and audio tuned by H K . It is up their with LG phones for audio quality. Sometimes I prefer it as AK DACS tend to have a fuller sound the ESS DACs. Samsung and Huawei both have used AKG products and tuning. To say that smart phone...

    Actually the T4 is a single Dynamic drivers with a similar profile to the Blon 03 but with slightly less bass. The T3 mat be the only one of the T series with a hybrid design.
