Don't we all need better sound everywhere? :o2smile: I don't stream or plan on using anything but Airplane Mode. My G7 doesn't even have the right time and date because it's been in AP mode so long. OS issues is a good point! I do computer and cell phone forensics as part of my job so I...

I posted the thread as part of my research! I realize mid range DAPs have various signatures but as a whole, I am more curious what people have to say moving from an ES9218P based phone to a dedicated DAP. The ES9218P is as good as it gets for phones and is even in some budget DAP/portable...

Hey all, I am in the process of converting my desktop stuff to full portable setup due to my job. I currently have an. LG G7 ThinQ dedicated to only music listening. I use it with Mee Audio M6 Pro/KZ ZS10 at the gym and Mee Pinnacle P1 or Campfire Audio Dorado for airplane/work. I love the...

Whoa whoa! If you fancy yourself a connoisseur, do please check out some 'core' like Fit For An Autopsy's latest masterpiece - The Sea of Tragic Beasts. But generally I agree...if they sell the shirt at Hot Topic, probably not for me. Thanks for the input!

Due to a change in my job I am switching from a desktop system to a DAP and IEM combo as my primary listening setup. I don't follow IEM//portable threads like I do full size, so please recommend some options! I do have an LG V20 that has acted as my "DAP" over the last few years so if...

Good point. I would say I lean toward a "neutral" sound as much as that is attainable anyway. I won't say the modded T50RP that I currently have are muddy but they don't seem to be "fast" enough to keep up with some of the noodly tech death like Obscura or Necrophagist.

Worth noting that I hopefully just pulled the trigger on a Schiit Lyr + Schiit Bifrost as my new source...

I use an LG V20 for the gym only and love it. There is actually a "mini" version you can find in Europe that has the same DAC. It is called the Q8. I paid $105 awhile ago so the price may have dropped even more.

Hi all, I am looking for a new (to me) set of full size cans for desktop listening from USB (FLAC/320k) at work. For now they will be driven by Schiit Magni2/Modi2 stack but that might upgrade in the future. Requirements: -Buying to listen to melodic death metal, technical death metal...

Thank you for the leads all, gives me a place to start looking just knowing that they exist 

Any ideas?

Forgive me for not keeping up with audiophile stuff for the last few years, it was never a big hobby of mine and been a crazy few years of life.   I recently got a new job that requires a LOT of travel.  I currently tote my BMF style T50RP's around with my Schitt Magni/Modi but will soon be...

Looks good!  How do you like the keypad, and what types of games do you use it with?   I thought about getting one when EQ Next comes out, depending what kind of button mapping I need for it.

You'll adapt very fast to carrying a gun that slim IWB.  Unless you are overweight, then people seem to ditch IWB pretty fast due to comfort.
