FiO BTR3-FiiO releases the new firmware 1.2 for BTR3, new added EQ function!
I successfully updated my firmware to 1.2 this morning (yay!) but I still do NOT get EQ on my iphone. I'm using the latest iPhone app, version 1.3.8. Is there a newer version of the app that I need if I want EQ? If so, where and when will it be available? -
Custom Art FIBAE 4 announcement
OK, so I finally received my Fibae 4's yesterday, after a long journey from Poland to Los Angeles via UPS. These are my first customs, and all I can say is 'WOW.' These things are truly marvelous and are bringing nothing but great joy to my old ears. I'm not one to describe sound signatures...- neatokino

Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread
I'm going to throw my quick take here on the E4000, which I impulse-bought last week on Amazon for $129 (for some reason the price dropped from $149); these things are, as many have noted, truly terrific, absolutely amazing for the price. Mine aren't broken in yet, but I love the tuning, and...- neatokino

Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread
Thank you, Mashuto, this is really helpful to me, as I own the Atlas and think they sound superb, but, like you, I find that because of their weight they become uncomfortable during long listening sessions. What I really want is the comfort of the E3000 combined with the sound quality of the...- neatokino

Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread
I apparently have odd shaped ear canals and have trouble finding a perfect fit with IEM's. I picked up a pair of E3000's this week out of curiosity (they were so reasonably priced, I couldn't resist), and what I found is that they are BY FAR the most comfortable IEM's I've ever used. Can...- neatokino

Best IEM tips?
Thank you for this suggestion. I love my Atlas but have had a very hard time finding the right tips. I'm always a LARGE, but with CP100S inserted very deeply, I get a fantastic seal, great comfort, and perfect sound. May not need to pursue CIEMs after all...- neatokino

NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas
What kind of custom ear tips do you use with your Atlas? I'd love to try that option but don't know who makes them!- neatokino

Radsone EarStudio ES100
Dumb question, but maybe someone knows: I can't get my Earstudio to work as a USB DAC on my macbook pro with any other micro USB cable than the stock one. Other micro USB cables I have will charge but not provide the DAC function. I'd like to get an additional (perhaps longer) cable to keep...- neatokino

Radsone EarStudio ES100
I had that problem with the first ES 100 I bought. And it was accompanied by issues with the on/off button and intermittent bluetooth connection issues. I had bought on Amazon, returned it, ordered another, and have had no problems since (about a month). These devices are terrific in what...- neatokino

FiiO FH5 - Quad Driver Hybrid In-Ear Monitors || Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers
I have had the same experience playing with different tips-- they make a huge difference in comfort and sound signature. I'd not tried foam with the FH5's, either, until recently, when I got some Dekoni Bulletz. They are an excellent alternative to the various silicone tips I've tried; they...- neatokino

Radsone EarStudio ES100
Sure, sounds ridiculous and counter intuitive, since the wired connection is just a wire... with a dongle. But am I right that both the EarStudio and BTR3 have their own built in DACs (bypassing the one in my phone) and provide amplification, so there is at least a difference in the nature of...- neatokino

Radsone EarStudio ES100
For what it's worth, I do hear a significant improvement in sound with the EarStudio over a regular wired connection to my phone (an iPhone Xs, which has more than decent sound to start with, and I use it with a dongle when I go wired, which is not an issue or an inconvenience). The iphone...- neatokino
