    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    Over the weekend I figured out what all the weird ear strain was comming from. Between the E10K and the Bravo Ocean I had a very cheap flimsy stereo cable. Replacing that cable with a stereo to RCA Cable that had a bit more heft to it solved my problem. The flimsy cable works fine with the...

    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    After listening to this amp for about a week plus, I have a few question I was hoping you all could help me with. My typical configuration is to use TIDAL on my pc as a source, plugged into the E10K, with the line out to the line in of the Bravo Ocean, and listening through DT990 250 ohm cans...

    Yep! I would totally recommend the Bravo Ocean to others. My LG V10 has a Sabre DAC. I'll have to give that a shot and see. Any tube recomendations that might pair better with the 990 and E10K.

    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    My Bravo Audio Ocean arrived! First impressions of the Ocean, OMG! I figured I was being unfairly biased so I let my son listen through my E10K alone, than switched to the Ocean. The ear to ear grin on his face was saying the same thing I was thinking. Second impression, wow this thing can get...

    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    Purchased the Bravo Ocean and it should arrive in the mail this Monday.  Any thoughts on how the Ocean is likely to differ in sound from the first hour, as apposed to after 10 or so hours of operation?

    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    After reading about a bazillion reviews, I'm leaning towards picking up the Bravo Ocean, mostly because it's less expensive than the Valhalla options.  Any idea if the Bravo Ocean build issues improved at all from the first ones till now? Read a lot of people who had issues, but they were all...

    Probably a tad over my budget, for now, but I'll definitely add it to my wish list.   Thanks

    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    I like this idea.  So I would hook the audio out of the FiiO to the audio in on the Bravo Ocean? Could you share your thoughts on what effect this amp would have on the audio?

    Looking to upgrade from the FiiO E10 Olympus 2

    I've been steadily figuring out my listening preference while cycling through some entry level audiophile gear. Starting with the Beyerdynamic DT990 32ohm.  Really like those headphones, and developed an appreciation for more neutral mids, as apposed to the solid V shaped sound I had been mostly...

    DT990 PRO 250 Ohms Amp

    Yes V10 smartphone. The LG V10 is a bit different than the standard smartphone though.  It has a dedicated amp and dac that kicks on when headphones with an impedance of 50-500 ohms are plugged in.  So it can adequately power the 990 250 and likely do ok with the 600 ohms also.  That feature was...

    DT990 PRO 250 Ohms Amp

    I recently purchased the 990 Pro 250, and own the FiiO E10 Olympus2.  I don't own any other DAC/Amp other than the fairly good one on my LG V10.  With the E10 on high gain, I cant get the volume over 6 or so without splitting an eardrum, and the audio for me is terrific.  I can say that the FiiO...

    HiFiMAN RE-00 Earphone Review by mark2410

    Noticed the same thing with the Comply tips. Bass is a bit more something, not experienced to say what. Flabby may be the word, but seems a bit harsh, considering I think I like the bass with these tips.  Final verdict not in just yet.

    HiFiMAN RE-00 Earphone Review by mark2410

    Well said! If I had the words at the time I would have said exactly that. My son who is a bass head first turned his noes up on these. After his second listen he was considering getting a pair. Awesome review. I second all of what you said, except the recessed bass. Get them deep in my ear and...
