    FIIO K19, the flagship desktop DAC and headphone amplifier

    I would love to know that too. Technically, the K19 should be better, right?

    Everything went absolutely smoothly, thank you very much!

    Very pointed review. I also liked your honesty regarding critical aspects - which somehow seems to be a rarity on other competing websites. You also reminded me why I couldn't like Anni so much after all, and why I won't be buying it again; I have to admit, I already had the thought. Great...

    Best technique ever for the AZLA so far for me: take a pair of scissors, insert the scissors into the tip and widen it; it will fit without problems 🤷🏻‍♂️

    If so, why not? Whether it will be sold at that price remains to be seen, of course, but I really don't think so 🤔

    I also have Mentor and I find Anni more mids forwards. A problem I had with Anni (I sold it) was the resolution. What you wrote about Mentor in comparison "really rich" was "resolution" for me. Anni was plastic here, not textured or grainy enough in comparison, if you know what I mean.

    Recessed mids? For me, it has the most forward mids among the TOTLs I've ever heard 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Yes, I will. Maybe I'll manage to watch it this weekend, or next weekend at the latest. But yes, I would really love to. I've never been to London either and I even made the passport for that eventuality - yep, I didn't have one 🫣

    I was seriously thinking about coming... if that increases the chances of you guys coming :beerchug: In the end, I didn't come to Amsterdam because I wanted to go to London.

    Yes, I know that. But it's just a little complicated, or rather: too complicated for my taste. Summary: there's a Fir Audio dealer in Berlin, but it doesn't want to take on the job because I didn't buy the Xe6 there and I would have to make contact with the headquarters. I would prefer to order...

    That's how it was for me! I was able to test the Xe6 a total of one time at Fir Audio and two at home over several days in peace and quiet and at the beginning I just couldn't understand it. It was too... weird. But each time after returning it, a thought remained in my head that was always...

    Does anyone happen to know why there are so many Annis in Classified? What's going on here? 🫢

    I don't know if this can help, but I would try a hard reset (from the boot menu).

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    I expressed myself incorrectly, sorry. I just meant that Mentor has been my favorite of the TOTLs for months. I haven't had Raven for long and I think it's technically on another level. For me, there is nothing in this area that Mentor does better. That should actually speak more in favor of...
