    Heya Watercooler Peeps! I stayed away for a bit as I was gathering fund to buy a new DAP. Had my eyes on the N30LE originally, but a surprise and very good resell deal came through with the iBasso DX320 Max for me instead. And I have to say... this DAP is absolutely blowing my mind. I have...

    With all the flavors of IEMs and all these new exciting IEMs, I've been revisiting my collections so I'll be able to appreciate my future purchases more and came back to the Elysium. It reminds me that despite being a 4-year-old IEM, it is still one of my absolute favorites. I remember when I...

    New top Lotoo Mjolnir

    I am looking forward to the comparison! After hearing that Chord Hugo2 might come really close to the Mjolnir, that's what I am planning to demo myself too before deciding whether I'll buy the Mjolnir or not.

    Absolutely! I actually have intensively tried the Mjolnir twice and just loved every bit of my time with it. The audio store that I tried it in had to suffer with me sitting with it an hour or so for both times. However, I haven't tried the Hugo2 actually. So I think I'll find a way to try that...

    You gave me much to think about as I was so completely enamoured with the Mjolnir. Maybe I should just get a Hugo 2 instead...

    As always love the Trifecta appreciation! I've been forcing myself to not use it to appreciate the rest of my IEMs in my collection... 😅 On the note of that, the Traillii and Phonix are surprisingly slowly going on to my potential sell list because I really need that DD now...

    Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp

    I found it very very responsive and snappishly fast. The only issue I have with it is the UI because the screen is a bit small and typing can be hard if you want to do a search. Otherwise, fantastic in terms of performance!

    Cayin N30LE DAP: A Transformative Milestone (30th Anniv. Limited Edition)

    The highest form of praise!! I am also really interested in seeing if anyone can do a DX320 Max comparison. Going to be looking from here being a bit jelly while I hope the units don't sell out before I can free up my funds for it. :)

    Cayin N30LE DAP: A Transformative Milestone (30th Anniv. Limited Edition)

    I am sort of shocked by the different responses I am reading here. Just to highlight I have no stake in this just yet because I am only looking at this as a potential buyer. Big applaud to Cayin for trying to get ahead of this situation but also it really shouldn't happen in the first place...

    I am wondering if the Cayin RU7 will work for you so it is easily pocketable, can connect to PC and phone via USB, feature a pretty analog sound signature and also won't break the bank.

    Cayin N30LE DAP: A Transformative Milestone (30th Anniv. Limited Edition)

    I have to admit that I came here to learn more about the N30LE as it is something I have gotten very interested in... but man, might be good to wait a little from the look of things...

    Good to see you and hope life has smoothed out a bit! I have only just recently come back myself after the Trifecta kicking me out of gear-pursuit for a bit. I am actually thinking of the Audeze Maxwell for my gaming setup too, I look forward to hearing your demo. :)

    While not addressed to me, I am actually thinking of buying the XE6 to accompany my Trifecta after having the opportunity to try it for an hour-ish. How the bass is presented between these two IEMs is very very different because XE6 is more rumbly with that mid-bass more than anything while...

    Absolutely! The rabbithole goes deep and once you've seen the potential of improvement, you just want to keep going. That's where the fun is :D
