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...- Johnciaccio

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.- Johnciaccio

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- Johnciaccio

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.- Johnciaccio

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...- Johnciaccio

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.- Johnciaccio

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...- Johnciaccio

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...- Johnciaccio

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.- Johnciaccio

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...- Johnciaccio

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?- Johnciaccio

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...- Johnciaccio

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.- Johnciaccio

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...- Johnciaccio

Tin HiFi Impressions Thread
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.- Johnciaccio
