    [FiiO K5Pro/K5Pro ESS]Desktop DAC and Amplifier+768K/32Bit and DSD512 decoding+3 gain levels (K5 Pro ESS (Red Version) Is Available Now)

    Would love to compare this new DAC/AMP with my old, but still good Fiio E10K. Edit: I'm interested in knowing the output impedance as well, it's very important factor with some of my headphones.

    I guess it depends on what type of sound signature you like. Tennmak is IMHO a bit dark and muffled, mainly in comparison with hybrid earphones. I prefer clear sound with crisp highs provided by balanced armature drivers. I use ASY hybrid earphones more than Tennmak's. Both have almost the same...

    Couldn't edit my previous response, but I forgot to add that please make it working with standard TRRS connectors, you'll be the very first company offering such a dongle (all the others just disable headset mic/buttons). :)

    For the next headphone related gadget I would suggest a headphone attenuation adapter with impedance matching (voltage divider, not resistor in series) - it helps to eliminate hissing noise of an amp with more sensitive headphones. It could have a similar form factor as the Headspace unit, but...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    While it was working, I found "C" firmware to be the best. It offered all the frequencies and bit depths on the PC and mobile phone as well. Also notifications played along with the music, they just didn't mute the music during notification sounds like with the default Android behavior. None of...

    New AKG headphones K175, K245, K275

    I will reply to myself :) I didn't have a chance to try K275 yet, but considering lack of reviews and the fact that I like Beyerdynamic DT990 way more than AKG K240 (sound, comfort and looks), I ended up with Beyerdynamic Custom Studio (these are different headphones than Custom One). To my...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    Yeah, volume buttons don't work correctly, but I can live with that. :) I have no high-res files (I can't tell the difference anyway), so I play everything at the native 16b/44.1kHz (PC or phone) and during commuting I can't really complain about the music quality. For the "critical" listening I...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    I got the Hidizs to solve the hissing issue of Xiaomi Mi A1. It worked fine, but suddenly died on me (doesn't get detected on any phone and PC gives me a power surge error). So I went to the nearest Apple store and bought their USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Frankly speaking, it sounds the same (even...

    New AKG headphones K175, K245, K275

    Anyone who could compare K275 to K240 or Beyerdynamic DT990/770? I am looking for a closed back headphones for an office use and so far I chose Beyerdynamic custom studio, though I've been recommended to rather buy K275 instead (but without any explanation why). I own a pair of K240 and DT990...

    So far I've tried this dongle with: Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT990 pro AKG K240MK II Marshall Monitor IEMs: Urbanfun hybrids ASY hybrids AMPs: Fiio E10K Xiaomi Mi A1 Project Head Box S2 Denon AVR2310 The result is pretty consistent across all the AMPs and headphones. The biggest difference...

    Review by 'mysiak' on item 'The Bard’s Headspace by Sonneteer'

    Short version: Very interesting little gadget, pretty much a must buy for every headphone's lover. Long version: I am a big fan of crossfeed effects emulated by a software on a PC, as listening to "pure stereo" on headphones can get fatiguing over long listening sessions and often feels just...

    The Bard’s Headspace by Sonneteer

    This small dongle doesn't fall right into any available category, but being a passive element connected directly between headphones and a music source, it is probably best described as a "cable dongle". Information from the creator: Out of your ears and into your head! The Bard’s Headspace...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    Thanks, I ordered one - got some coupon on Aliexpress, so it was a no-brainer for 22eur. :) I will try different firmware versions just for the sake of comparison, but as long as the headphone output doesn't hiss and I can use my headset buttons, it'll be a win for me even with the "non musical"...

    Hidizs Sonata HD DAC cable - new tiny and mighty DAC&AMP

    I went through the whole topic, but I'm a bit confused about a couple of points. I have Xiaomi Mi A1 phone which has absolutely terribly noisy headphone output with sensitive headphones. So despite having 3.5mm jack on the phone and capable of driving my 250ohm Beyerdynamic DT990pro, I'm looking...
