i suggest you research that for yourself - i have no experience there per https://www.khadas.com/tone1 [1] Android supports only 44.1KHz output due to the Sample Rate Conversion(SRC) resampling implementations. [2] Will also support other Single Board Computers (SBCs). Compatible OSes...

it's a bee's dick on objective measurements per amir 🔬 https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-new-topping-d50s-dac.7914/#lg=attachment28403&slide=0 the whole reviews are here ...

my elear came with the bespoke case included for ~ $540aud delivered, earlier in the year and it's a good case - https://www.minidisc.com.au/focal-hard-shell-carrying-case and thus an even bigger bargain there's this available also much cheaper https://www.ebay.com.au/i/184370703097 but in...

the one that comes with them is fine is removing a cable that tiring ? i bought a smaller cable because the provided one is a bit excessive

you must have hearing like a bat admittedly i'm a little old and frequencies >14k are diminished significantly, but both through the htpc and phones the output is impressively silent where that's what is being transmitted

by form factor i meant the shape; like your cases for the vim stuff, not sure curves and diagonals and "decoration" is what serious users look for wrt the led : make the lights able to be dimmed via the interface and you will win a lot of friends one user's "dull" is another user's "blinding"...

my only comparison can be to the ad700 and the akg q701, all of which are open back the ad700 were a great intro to phones, and lovely; the q701's are more of the same, only "better" - detail / bass / stage the elear aren't as "wide", nor as comfortable - but they are astoundingly precise and...

nice heads up reading the specs i can't see it offers me anything over and above what the tone 1 delivers for my meagre needs currently and i am no fan of rgb bling (" RGB LED ring for status indication and feedback. ") - it's an annoying distraction although i appreciate that it is a simple...

never had pops or clicks ever what's the equipment you are using with it ? i reckon that's part of the equation for personal experience and satisfaction

if you have usb you might consider a khadas tone board my elars work fine without an amp using an rca to 1//8" female jack, direct from the pc via usb as signal and power i used mine 10 hours a day initially :D

despite best attempts, it seems i can't find any process that will revert to 1.04 the "new" sound is decidedly less wonderful - using either the wharfedale 10 speakers (10.1's + 10.gx sub) via a nad d3020 amp (previously gorgeous, now profoundly disappointing), or the focal elear headphones (as...

several hours down the track and i'm not so keen on the changes the hit on transient treble such as rim shots and attack on guitar seem harsher and overwhelmed, whereas the bass seems to lack the same attack and sound muddy, but previously it was remarkably coherent the dynamic range for all...
