    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Razer Phone 2 with Android 9 which is still kicking alive and well. Sound is just booming from it. Otherwise using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for photos and streaming.

    Shure TW2 Meets Audeze Euclid

    Agreed. I ordered up the Fiio BT adapters to see if those deliver more power to the IEMs.

    Anyone here still using cassette tapes?

    If anyone can help me figure out to get Tidal tracks onto cassette tapes maybe that would be ideal. My first attempted went badly :( I use a pair of Shure SE215 (wired) with a Sony sports walkman (I ordered a newer metallic model) and those are sweet. Wilco tape was fab!

    Shure TW2 Meets Audeze Euclid

    Well it works at least but sadly enough the Shure TW2 adapters don't provide enough power for the Audeze Euclid (or my Campfires either) so I end up having to use the Super Volume Booster app up to 160% volume setting here-...

    SHURE CUTS THE CORD: RMCE-TW1 / TW2 - THE TRUE WIRELESS THREAD

    I used an Android volume booster app to help out with this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soulapps.superloud.volume.booster.sound.speaker&hl=en_US&gl=US

    Anyone here still using cassette tapes?

    Just curious if any fellow audiophiles are using cassette tapes with high end gear?

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Right now I use the Shure True Wireless Secure Fit Adapter (https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/accessories/rmce-tw2) with a pair of Campfire Honeydews and wow the sound is totally fine on my Androids (I use a volume booster app to help out) and wow it's pretty solid. Obviously no comparison...

    Audeze Euclid Closed-Back Planar IEM

    Just got my pair today via Audio 46 and wow! Floored and breaking them in slowly using my cell phone. So fresh and dope. Dead on sound too!

    Okay the magnetic adapter doesn't work with any USB DAC dongle. Going to the 3.5mm extender method instead.

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Just got my 2nd LG V60 as an unlocked Verizon phone on the T-Mobile network. Super nice and just dropped in a 1Tb card. Going to test it with the Dual Screen case w/ the Hidizs USB-C DAC dongle and headphones to see if that works now :)

    RIght now I have the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra which has a very nice camera but looking at adding a LG V60 to my outfit with the dual screen case so that I can chillax to some kickass music.

    DAP with embedded 2.5" SSD or nvme slot?

    I am curious if there is any DAP which can house a 2.5" SATA SSD or nvme SSD form factor instead of the micro SD slot? Thanks so much.
