    LETSHUOER S12 - Next big planar? (Impressions & Discussion)

    Got these bad boys two weeks ago jumping on the planar train. Although the first unit they sent suffered from sound breaking up on the right side, they sent the replacement right away and arrived my hands in just three days(one of the perk living in Hong Kong). I was first get acquaintances with...

    HiBy RS6 Android DAP - Snapdragon 660, 4+64GB, 5” full HD, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 16x, copper chassis

    Hello guys, just get my hands on this beautiful device last week. coming from dx228ex I enjoy the richer mids and vocal and better mqa capability. However the battery life is subpar even compare to my old dx228ex. So I followed npaudio‘s instruction to root the rs6 and boy old boy it’s like...

    Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.

    Judging from reviews from various sources, the mkii is a smoother tuning of the og rather than an upgrade. Some may even prefer the better spacing and soundstage of the og over the mkii. So it's not a direct sonic improvement but a different flavour would be much accurate.

    Joined the mest family three days ago with a mint condition mest og hk special+ edition by a fair price. Pairing with dx220 amp8ex so far with very impressive result. Anyone here also using this combo? Been switching around with low and high gain. Any suggestions?

    NiceHCK Earphones (Thoughts and impressions)

    Quick update after 5 days of white/pink noise burning (with 1 hr of rest every interval), the overall harshness tamed a bit more (with the black filter), the bass is more controlled now and the soundstage is a tad wider. The original cable is the main reason for the harshness in the mids and...

    NiceHCK Earphones (Thoughts and impressions)

    Just received my nx7 mk3 today. The cable is very good looking. Initial impression is very positive, with enough power (dx228 mod)and replaced cable (the original cable needs burn in) the mids and trebles are very high resolution without being piercing (with the black filter) . Bass is very...

    Updated the new fidelizer advance purist firmware today. SQ difference is surprisingly quite noticeable. Soundstage improved and everything sounds more airy too. Using amp8 mod with iem.

    Switched my dx220 amp8mod with my friend's fiio m15 for a week. There's no clear winner between these two, only two different preference. The m15 has a larger soundstage with more clarity on its mids and highs. My dx220 has ticker and more texture in the mids and a more relaxed high. M15 has a...

    Without mod the amp8 is already better than stock amp1 mkii.

    Get back the modded amp8 from my friend today and the differences are very noticeable even with just 8 hrs of burn in. The mid is much more detailed and opened. Bass is much more impactful and the soundstage is expanded. Can't wait to hear the improvement after more burn in time for the new caps.

    Recently purchased a pair of Tri i3. It's fairly cheap in around $150 range. I think it pairs really well with dx228 as it requires fairly high output power to drive its Planar Magnetic+Composite 8MM Dynamic Driver+Balanced Armature Driver hybrid. I have a pair of 64audio u12 and with enough...
