    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    I just received my iSine 10 (b stock) from the Adorama Black Friday $119 deal. No cipher cable but I didn’t expect it at that price. I don’t need it anyway since I’m using it with Roon off my iPad which has a DSP preset for them built in. It was well packaged as new with new tips and ear clips...

    Shanling M5 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    @Shanling, I would also like to be able to see the bitrate of the playing file displayed.   For example, I have a mix of Apple Lossless and 256kbps .m4a files. It would be nice to be able to see the current bitrate playing.   Thank you again for the comprehensive update!!

    Thanks,   Why would I want to choose one over the other?   Which one was the previous default?

    Indeed! Thank you Shanling!   I really like #7: Auto switch back to playing interface, which time can be set in settings, because there is now an "Off" setting!   Before, it was quite annoying when adjusting EQ settings to have it constantly switch back to the now playing screen.   I also...

    OK thanks. Understood.   I'm fine with converting the 96kHz files down to 48kHz.

    OK, I just converted a 96/24 Flac file to 48/24 Flac and the EQ works fine. (using the very handy and fast Total Audio MP3 Converter)   So it seems the EQ does not support sample rates over 48kHz.   For now I will go ahead and convert all my 96/24 files to 48/24 for the M5. I'm not a big...

    Thank you nmatheis! I have confirmed that I can indeed customize the presets.   But it would be nice to be able to change the names. I never had a FiiO DAP so am not familiar with that tool.   Also, I just found a bug. The EQ does not work on hi-res files! I have some 96/24 Flac files and...

    You're welcome PopZeus.   Yes, the PM-3 takes EQ extremely well. The M5's EQ is very transparent sounding to my ear.   It would be nice though to be able to delete the factory EQ presets and be able to save more than one custom preset.

    Try the PM-3 with the M5's EQ set to +4 for the 31 & 62Hz bands and +2 for the 16kHz band. You may change your mind.

    45-55 on Lo for me. This is with "normal" rock music. Not quiet DSD or anything.

    I'm using low gain for my PM-3's. IMHO no need to go to hi gain for the PM-3. The M5 seems to have plenty of oomph for them on Lo.
