    Oriolus Mk2

    How does the Oriolus mk2 compare to modern iems? I bought a used pair many years ago and enjoyed the warm mids. I’ve been out of the iem game for a while so I don’t know what’s good nowadays. Does the Oriolus still stack up? Should I be looking for an upgrade? My source is iPhone + Apple dongle.

    I can't use bitperfect with Equalizer APO. Is that important?

    I'm on a windows PC, using a Fiio K5 Pro. I noticed that I can either use bitperfect or PEQ, but not both at the same time. Is bitperfect important? I have 16/44, 24/96, and DSD files.

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    I bought a used Aeolus a few days ago and admit that I didn’t check the drivers visually during the purchase. It sounded fine to me when I was testing it. While I was changing the pads, I noticed this. https://imgur.com/a/YSeKJV3 Is it a cause for concern? What does this piece of material do?

    Does Plexamp support bitperfect output to dac on windows?

    I have all my music playlists set up on Plexamp. I bought a Fiio K5 pro to use as a desktop DAC/amp for my laptop and have it connected via usb. But when I play a 24/96 file on Plexamp, the DAC doesn’t detect the hi-res stream and thinks that it’s 16/44. Playing hi-res files on foobar doesn’t...

    Do you mean the stock Aeolus perforated pads? I eventually bought the used Aeolus, it came with the perforated suede and lambskin pads. I haven't tried the suede ones yet but so far I like the warmth of the lambskin pads. Are there other pads from ZMF that I could consider getting?

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    Hi guys, how are the mids of the Aeolus compared to the HD6xx? I used to own the HD600 but haven't had one for years. I find myself missing the smooth luscious mids, and I was about to buy one when I saw a used Aeolus for sale. I get that the Aeolus is a superior headphone overall, but does it...

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Ok this seems to be an intermittent issue. Now it’s remembering the EQ settings when I turn it on. Not sure what changed.

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Hi, new owner here, hope you guys can help me. Why is it that every time I turn the Qudelix on, the default is that the EQ/DSP is turned off? How do I make it turned on by default?

    Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review

    Hi all, I just got the Qudelix 5k and want to try EQ for the THX00. The preset oratory EQ in the Qudelix doesn’t sound good to me and I wonder what PEQ settings you guys use? I mainly want to tame the treble and harshness of the headphone.

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    I've never EQ'ed before. Is there a simple online guide on how to start? What do I listen for when adjusting the bands? What does it mean when people say they are trying to reduce a frequency peak?

    I’ve tried the Lawton mod before, but I prefer the stock sound. The Lawton mod made the treble harsh sounding.

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Hi guys, I'm looking at buying the Qudelix because of the parametric EQ functionality but I have zero experience with using parametric EQ. My source is an iphone. Is it as simple as selecting my headphone from a drop-down list and the Qudelix will load the optimal EQ profile? Or do I need to do...

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    Hi, My MicroDSD BL is having issues with the headphone jack, not getting sound on the right side with multiple headphones tested. The funny thing is when I turn on the 3D sound toggle switch, sound comes back on the right side for a while then goes away. Is this a common problem with the...
