This was the first thing I did with the VR's.

it will largely come down to the amount you listen to, how it was recorded and mixed, and volume. You can eq out problem frequencies if you have sensitivity problems. These iems remove the potential distortion you experience between recording and playback. If the music you like is recorded well...

I'm using the Viking Ragnar with the Kann Max and streaming from Tidal/Roon. I've not owned super high-end headphones or iems before, however I've always had a fairly decent setup. Headphones are typically on my head for 5hrs a day as I work from home and share the space with my partner. I...

Had some new equipment arrive this morning. Will post some thoughts after I've spent some time with everything. Off the bat however, these iems would have to be one of the nicest objects I've ever owned.

Cool thread will have to go through my music and link some albums. I come back to this Reanima album quite often. Reanima - Great Whore of Babylon

Are there any sites around that offer DSD beyond old classics? Interested to sample some metal, hip hop/music that came out in the last 10years. I've had a poke around but didn't see anything. Appreciate any leads :)

that sucks you're having a hard time. you bought it and it was faulty out of the box or you've had some time with it and over time something has gone wrong? try provide some more information rather than just post how you're feeling about the experience, else it could be unfair bashing on a...

The hiss is coming from the source. The AlgoRhythm Duet has a lot of comments revolving around its silent background for IEMs, perhaps do some research into it.

Connecting to your Amp via 3.5mm to RCA connection will bypass your Amps DAC. The DAC is engaged over a digital connection, usually USB. For cables, i'm in the camp that believes you wont hear much, if any, difference unless you're using high dynamic headphones or speakers. all the recordings...

Can't say the overall aesthetic looks like it was deeply considered. Going to assume the brand focuses on performance over design.

This might be of consideration to a few interested in the Hifi M8 with sensitive IEMs, I'm sure many already know however. http://centrance.com/products/new/blog/2013/09/04/the-iem-mod/

Hey guys, I am in the market for a new rig and I'm looking for a dead silent (no background hiss) balanced amp (& iOS DAC if possible) for sensitive CIEMs. So many options out there and I'm hoping to get some help on reducing the amount of homework I have to do. Appreciate any suggestions.

hey guys, what's the generally consensus with the hifi m8 and sensetive IEMS? background hiss etc? any comments greatly appreciated :)

thanks for the reply. To clarify for my sake, do you know of someone outside of the US selling as a combo?
