Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
I got curious and bought a cca c12 myself and I have to say it is a very impressive iem for just $50. The treble and upper mid of the c12 is definitely better than the Sennheiser ie300. One thing I noticed is that the c12 is very sensitive and it can get really loud with very little power...- megapapa2022

Sennheiser ie300 works great with that phone. 7hz timeless would be a nice second. The ie300 is a nice v shaped sound with great bass and sub bass very smooth mid and treble that is present but won't fatigue you over long listen sessions. The 7hz has all the property of a plainer drive (fast...- megapapa2022

The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!
I had the same problem with my v60 too. I did discover the problem was not loose jack but dust and lint clogging up the hole. Using a paper clip to remove the dirt solved the problem. You might want to try that too. Woops I was replying to someone comment about clogged headphone jack but it...- megapapa2022

The lg V20 to v60 and g7 and g8 will have enough power to drive hd600 series. In fact, I have used beyer dt 880 (600 ohm) on v30 v60 and g8 and it can get loud to about 95 decibels at about 90% power- megapapa2022

Based on some Chinese reviews of the cmx1 from 2017, it is close but not quite there. The review mentioned the bass is not as full as the dp-x1a which suggests it is much more similar to the lower model dp-s1. It doesn't mean the dps1 (or the rebranded pioneer xdp-30r) sounds bad, it just means...- megapapa2022

While I don't have the Dp-cmx1, I do have a pioneer xdp-30r which is a rebranded Onkyo dap (dp-s1) with the same dac and amp stage as the cmx1. Assuming the cmx1 have the same tuning as the xdp-30r (which is very likely because between Onkyo and pioneer, they have released 4 different models...- megapapa2022

While I have not actually tried them, ROG 5 used ess saber dac and ROG 6 used Qualcomm dac. That is according to the spec from Asus website. That being said, I have recently tried Sony Xperia V III as a possible replacement for my v60 in case lg ends all update. Sony actually did a pretty good...- megapapa2022

I have used Astell & Kern HC2 Hi-Fi USB Dual DAC Amplifier Cable on PC and they are amazing. Iphone adapter is included with this so I assume it will work with iphones. However, it is expansive @$250.- megapapa2022

V60 and g7 are pretty similar in terms of sound quality with some very minor differences. I don't think most people will notice the difference unless they have used both for extended period of time. Here is my impression of the difference using Sennheiser Hd 560s (no eq, no 3d effect, set to...- megapapa2022
