I’m currently using CA Dorado w/ 4.4mm Litz cable and it delivers nicely.

The Sony player eventually arrived and I spent time with it along with these headphones and included 4.4mm Balanced cable. I do wish the cable connectors to the cups were a “twist and pull” type for more secure connection. High Gain output is needed to get to a decent volume level with this...

It arrived! DHL delivered it in short time although it did sit on the vehicle for almost 12 hours. So I finally got the package close to midnight yesterday and today I spent time setting up/listening. I’m glad I went with the Japanese variant since the High Gain option becomes necessary when...

The 660S2 showed up today. I briefly had a listen while WFH, connected to Lyr+ and played some FLAC 16-bit tracks via WMP (still looking for a dedicated music app) for initial test. I have to say I was quite pleased with the Senns straight from the box. Good clarity, separation, and the exterior...

Just stumbled on a review of these before coming to this thread. I see Mr. Bezos’ store has these @ 40% off. Good deal I’m thinking. This will be my first set of open backs. I also like the fact it comes with 4.4mm balanced in the box. Will get an XLR adaptor so I can use with Schiit Modius...

It dawned on me that it’s been a long while since I’ve ve acquired a new DAP for my collection. I started looking at getting a newer model Hiby or iBasso but came across some Reddit about this zx707. Pricing wasn’t appealing to me on the aforementioned models either. I learned about the volume...

I just acquired a set and ventured to find a dedicated thread and here I am. Lots of action here 😂 These IEMs were ready to go straight of the box. I haven’t set up the audio calibration yet because the app recommends a quiet space so that’ll be later. I paired the TWM to my iPhone 11 and used...

I'll have to double check ROON again when I can. When I wrote comment it was after using Audirvana app through A8. I'll be curious as to what your findings are.

There is one behaviour that’s been bugging me with this Eversolo. I noticed after playing a complete album, and nothing else in the queue, the last track gets played back repetitively. I was doing something else while the music was playing and thought "Man, this song is a long one!", only to...

No. Audiophile Rule #1: He who has the most audio setups in the end wins.

Qobuz Sublime is awesome because the discount on high-res digital is substantial. I still prefer buying the media rather than merely streaming. I dropped Deezer and Tidal last year.

I don't know about "best" because I neither have the money nor the time to determine the best. But...I bought a SMSL DO300 several months ago to use with a new Schitt Lyr+ and couldn't be happier with it.

Zidoo/Eversolo released v1.2.95 (possibly now v1.2.96 per info in their forum) for the A8. This firmware along with a recent ROON update now makes the DMP-A8 finally ROON READY.
