ZiShan U1 HiFi USB DAC+AMP Thread
I bought this little device on a whim as it was only $24.99 and I can always use another powerbank. It arrived last Friday and I have to say, I'm very pleasantly surprised about the quality of the DAC! My Xiaomi Note 9 immediately recognised it and I could immediately try Tidal through the USB...- Singapura

Why high end headphones (and IEMs) are (mostly) hype.
I have been a fan of headphones and IEMs for many, many years and have owned and reviewed a lot of them. Singapore became a hub in the headphone scene and I went to can parties on a weekly basis. Great times with Uncle Wilson of Jaben, when the shop was still a hole-in-the-wall, crammed with...- Singapura

Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones
I will never buy anything B&W again after I found out how they treat customers. I had a pair of P5s which I bought in Europe. After I moved to Singapore, the right side stopped playing. I went to the B&W shop and they told me it would cost $150 just to have a look at them. Reparation might even...- Singapura

The hate on beats, why?
Do this experiment: go to http://forums.egullet.org/ and ask what they think of McDonald's and why Michelin overlooks that esteemed brand.- Singapura

How does an Indonesian City Sounds?
To hear a mosque in Bali would be quite rare as it is a Hindu island I will definitely listen to it because I love Bali. Was this recorded near Den Pasar or another city?- Singapura

Nirvana In Utero 20th Anniversary Edition: Remixed, Remastered and in Hi-res on HDtracks!
I only purchased one album from HDTracks in the past but I'm still wondering why you guys allow downloading every purchase once.Is there no way to host a library (like for instance Steam and iTunes do) so that if I delete my track or it gets lost, I don't have to bother you to "reset" my...- Singapura

Worst Headphone Flops!
Quote: Although I don't expect anything remotely like taste from someone who has "dubstepl" in their name, I think you haven't even tried the P5 if you call them "mediocre". I've owned quite a few full size cans (including Senn HD 650) and IEMs (customized Shures were my favourite) but...- Singapura

Bravo Audio mini tube amp
Last year I purchased the Bravo Audio mini tube amp on eBay. It was more out of curiosity than anything else and the low price made it easy to pull the trigger. It took two weeks but the package made it to Singapore in one piece. First impression This amp is tiny! Compared to the...- Singapura

iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.
Listening to Ozzy on my DX100 at this very moment. Still in a love/hate relationship with my new little friend. The GUI can freeze and behaves irrational sometimes but the sound keeps blowing me away. Am I the only one that prefers the stock player over Poweramp? --- I am here...- Singapura

Closed back over ear headphones with good isolation??
I just replaced my UE TF10 with a pair of B&W P5 and even though the former has a much higher price, the P5 blows it away. I guess the larger diafragms allow for a much deeper bass as well as more revealing mids. Admittedly, this is with an iPhone and without using an amp. I haven't sold my TF10...- Singapura

iBasso DX100:24 bit for bit, PG 1> Reviews & Impressions, Downloads, VIDEO, NEW Firmware 1.4.2.
This thread reminds me a lot of one I read about Skyrim. That game is quite buggy too but is still the best game ever made. My DX100 is on it's way and as long as the hardware is good, software updates will only make it better.- Singapura
