Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
It might be intesresting, thanks for sharing. I am very worried about rumors saying BBK stopped "audiophile" smartphones. The good point is that with all the languages available on this phone, it should be easier for non-english speaking people to use it. I expect a lot of reviews to come out...- Pondu

flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)
Merci David for sharing. Very interesting because I felt exactly the same way 6 years ago when I bought the Hidition NT6 Pro, although it was not my type of sound. It's going to be tough to wait until you're reviews comes out :thinking:.- Pondu

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
Hey guys, I am looking for an upgrade to my Concero HP. Because I plan to use its substitute with iems, the Hugo 2 which has the advantage of being portable, appeared like the perfect choice. I got the chance to audition the Hugo 2 (30 to 45 minutes) connected to my phone via Bluethooth, and...- Pondu

Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
GPS reception on the Xplay 6 is amazing, simply incredible. This phone is my only companion when I work out, and yesterday I used Runtastic Pro with the GPS turned on (no 4G). In fact I thought the 4G was on but only wifi was on, and it worked flawlessly during the entire session (i.e. 14...- Pondu

Alclair Electro 6-Driver Electrostatic Hybrid Custom In-Ear Monitor
How does it compare against the EM64 technically? After reading your reviews of these two, it seems the Electro is more neutral, more reference, with very little coloured sound, puts you on a sofa and allows you to focus on the record characteristics, or on the source. While the EM64, although...- Pondu

What saddens me is that I suspect the Xplay 6 was the last Xplay produced by Vivo. Do you prefer the DX200 over Sony's daps?- Pondu

Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
Ok good to know thanks... Guys, I am simply in love with this phone. Last time I had this feeling was with my MX4 Pro. I listen to music 2 hours every day on the go, but even at home, I tend to use the Xplay over my Concero... Funtouch os is less sexy than Flyme to me, but it is more stable...- Pondu

Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
I have been using my Vivo Xplay 6 for more than 2 months now, and I felt the need to share some impressions. I bought it on aliexpress, and it cost me around 415€. It seems my seller does not sell it anymore. My audio listenings were made with my Hidition NT6 Pro only. USER EXPERIENCE I...- Pondu
