    [FiiO BTR7] Portable Bluetooth Amplifier, Color IPS display,High-performance DAC ES9219C*2,THX AAA-28*2 amps,3.5+4.4mm outputs,One-click “dongle” mode

    Hey all, Not sure if this has been discussed on this forum previously, but I'm noticing an issue with my BTR7 that I can't seem to resolve. While in USB-DAC mode via USB-C cable from my MacBook Pro M1, there is intermittent crackling/static/popping. It occurs about once every 5-10 minutes and...

    Closed backs for return to office ($200 or less)

    I’ve really using my Rode NTH-100 in the office - they’re newer and there’s some hype around them but a solid pair of headphones for $150.

    I’ve had the same issue before. Make sure the charge is turned off and maybe try a new cable?

    Need some advice for buying my first portable hi-fi player

    If you like bass - Sivga 021 Very comfortable, feel premium and are easy enough to drive with the A45 Otherwise, I’d look into something from Philips like the 9500s or X2s or X3s

    Is it worth upgrading to FiiO FH5 from KZ IEMs?

    It's hard to describe. I think the single dynamic driver does a lot more for general coherency and timbre than a combination of dynamic driver with several balanced armatures. The FH3 definitely has more low-end and detail, but the FD3 just sounds better. Some of it I think is that the FD3 has a...

    Is it worth upgrading to FiiO FH5 from KZ IEMs?

    Of those two options, I like my FiiO FD3 Pro more. I’m a big fan of single dynamic driver IEMs. If you want better noise isolation and stronger low end, then I’d go for FH3 as the FD3 Pro has a sort of semi-open design.

    I would look at the Shanling M5s (or M3x if you want to swing it) or the HiBy R3 Outside of Sony, I'd check out those two in the sub-$400 category.

    Need some advice for buying my first portable hi-fi player

    Personally, I like the simplicity of the A55 over the A105. A105 runs Android, which is fine, but it saps the battery. I have the ZX507 and I wish it was Sony's OS without Android for the sake of simplicity and battery life. I don't think anything in FiiO's lower tier is going to sound as...
