Just Got PSB M4U 8
I'm more into open backs, but always return to my PSB m4u2. Love the sound and god are those pads comfortable. More comfortable than sennheiser imo. But, I never liked the tacky plasticky look of the PSB. The least of my concerns though. Unfortunately I dropped them a couple of times and the...- rfan8312

Looking for a DAP that beats the LG V30+
Thanks very much D Rob. Well Ive had the Sony PHA-1A amp for a couple of years using it to plug HE400i into while listening to v30+. The amp does add a little bit of warmth to the sound but mostly it's to be able to get more volume from the he400i. Unfortunately I have had problems with the...- rfan8312

Looking for a DAP that beats the LG V30+
Any idea if it is possible to use E18 as an amp with the v30? I have v30+ and just ordered an E18 because I like the idea of a portable amp that has dedicated media buttons to skip tracks. But now I'm wondering if the v30 will recognize the E18.- rfan8312

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
I'd be so fine with just having my 400i and an LCD2 for a while until I was ready to go after really high end stuff.- rfan8312

Ok but would turning on high impedance mode suddey trigger MQA resulting in what everyone I've talked to claims that Tidal MQA has the best sound quality bar-none? I'm in AUX mode now, will try to get to high impedance, but Amazon Music app clearly has loads more information on the track than...- rfan8312

LG V30
Major thanks to everyone who helped n unlocking AUX mode when plugging in headphones. I couldn't seem to get it. Now its so easy. Just have one jack (L or R) unplugged from the one of the ear cups, then plug the main headphone cable into the device you will be listening from, then finally plug...- rfan8312

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
Very cool. The more I hear about the Elear, "surgical precision of imaging", "imagine a 100 point grid around each ear and you can pick out from exactly which point any given sound came from", "built like a French tank" <----- lol last one is joke I think, the more I'm dying to hear them. But...- rfan8312

LG V30
That would be incredible those suggestions. RockStar gave me a way to get good pictures on v30, I haven't had to e to try it yet but will. If it works would be great. Toggle for high impedance mode would be nice. But I think dedicated media buttons (play stop skip track, shuffle etc.) Would...- rfan8312

LG V30
Thanks very much man. Will try your camera settings here this weekend. If I can get this damned camera to take better pictures, this would be one beast of a device.- rfan8312

LG V30
Sorry for double post. My shots usually look like the top picture in the images shown here. I tried installing that Google apk. I failed. I'll try again. If I can manage it then this would be the best phone I've had. In fact t it's the only phone I've had yet that afds two really useful...- rfan8312

LG V30
@RockStar2005 Fair enough man, although I believe I may have a defective device, regarding just the camera. I'd keep this phone even if it had no camera. It sips battery, with Battery saver turned on, so lightly that I only need slap the v30 onto an old wireless charging pad that I bought...- rfan8312

LG V30
I've used Sony pha-1a for a long time with Galaxy phones as an external amp/DAC and the tethering with rubber bands and micro USB plug sticking out of the bottom of the phone was just too much hassle. I never thought they'd make an Android phone with no hassle great sound. V30 sounds better...- rfan8312

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
Thanks very much. Yes, I read about the v30 trick to get full amplification in the LG V30 thread in Head-Fi, and did try what you instructed but somehow was unable to get the result...I think. I'm not sure if maybe I'm misunderstanding, or in fact did get a result. I noticed that on the he400i...- rfan8312
