Some DAP advice
Thanks for your thoughts. The R6 Pro ii seems to be the sweet spot in terms of my use case. As mentioned I'm not that fussed over the battery life and size as I'll mostly be using it at home or in the office but just want access to my music (and Tidal). If it weren't for the serious issues I...- somefunnybits

Some DAP advice
Afternoon all, Apologies that this is somewhat of a cross themes thread. I've read through a lot but was hoping for some quite specifc advice. I've always been a DAP user (bought my first MP3 player back in 2004, the Philips HDD120/05) but other than the Plenue D, which was a big outlay for me...- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
Evening all. Looking for a bit of advice/opinion please. Been dabbling in the hobby for about 18 months and wondering if I'm coming to the end of my 'over the counter' journey and need to move properly into DIY. I spent my first few hundred pounds like a kid in a sweet shop trying out different...- somefunnybits

Quick thank you to those that recommended the Yinman 2.0 600ohm. I was sceptical on my first few listens but today for the first time I felt like they really opened up. Lovely bit of business!- somefunnybits

I've always seen these pop up in various discussions but never actually seen them described. Are they source picky?- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
Afternoon all, looking for some advice/thoughts. I've stumbled across a load of old Nintendo games and gear so am having a big old eBay session. When all is said and done I should have about £300-£400 to play with. I'm on a real earbud vibe at the minute so am thinking of blowing most of it in...- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
I'm in the market for a pair of Yinman too (they should be paying you guys!). I was initially thinking of going for a K7 (probably still will for ease as an entry level desktop solution) but the NX7 has piqued my interest now. Does anyone have any experience of a DAC (preferably portable) that...- somefunnybits

Thanks for the figures. As I've said numerous times I'm on a learning curve so having actual targets (even if I only roughly understand them) is a real help.- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
I certainly will. I've started tentative steps into reviewing (lucked out on an iem reviewer round) and as a big advocate of the VE flagship buds and with there being relatively few reviews out there of them I feel like I should show them some written love.- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
I was probably looking at picking up a new desktop DAC/amp so this gives me more of a reason (this wish list is getting longer and longer!). I've got the VE Megatron sat on my desk at the minute so can flip between the two for the time being to find which sound best. Thanks again for all your...- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
Just added the Yinman's to my wish list! I've got a FiiO q11 that's rated at 600 ohms; is that likely to provide enough power to let them shine? I love this hobby and am really glad I stumbled on buds before iems because the cost/reward seems so much better. Iems obviously have their place and...- somefunnybits

Earbuds Round-Up
Thanks very much for your thoughts. I'll have a look over on discord and just keep saving the pennies for now until I can afford to pay someone else to do the hard work for me 😉 Out of interest what buds are top of your own personal Everest? I know we all have different anatomy and tastes (and...- somefunnybits
