USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
Heads up for anyone looking for a top notch (ES 9038Q2M) dongle with balanced output: Fiio KA3 is selling for $70 on 11.11 in AliExpress. It's this price only on the JadeAudio Official Store. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN8ScMK I'm stuck wondering whether to get this, the UA2 or to cough up a...- Turkleton

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
Sorry man, I could quickly do the ASF based on that one store because I always check NiceHCK for good deals. Lemme have a look and see if anything comes to me.. Takes a while because you literally have to check each store, their coupon price ranges and the Select amounts they accept. Seeing...- Turkleton

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
Yep, that's why I pointed out that it takes effort to save big money on 11.11. I know the coins will be a chore, but the coupons are just there for the taking. It's low hanging fruit, man... You just gotta follow some stores, share some links, play some games and you'll get some nice coupons...- Turkleton

Bruv, you gotta learn to use coupons.. Sometimes you gotta spend more money to save more money. Here's an example how.. I know that store (NiceHCK Audio Store) you screenshotted - it's literally the only store selling the ASF at $51. Everyone else is selling it at $58. Anyway, if you bought it...- Turkleton

Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread
You're showing us your Select Coupon balance. No, you won't be able to use them even if you wait for 11.11 because the store selling the DAP you linked is not participating in the sale. On the very same page in the top right hand corner there's a link explaining how to use the coupons - aptly...- Turkleton

Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread
100% agree - Coupon Fu is an art... Heads up to whoever hasn't noticed yet - but if you open the 11.11 Gameland coupon centre and check in for 6 days straight, you can get a coupon for $15 off of min $100. This is AMAZING for Ali standards.. I know it isn't an IEM, but I'm planning to get...- Turkleton

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
Flexible and soft, yes. As flexible and soft as a 16 core cable? No, it's got a bit of stiffness and tries to retain its shape - which suits me fine because it seems like it's far less prone to tangling compared to the uber-flexible 16 core cousins. Heavy, no.. It has heft... I like it, makes...- Turkleton

Shoutout to Dsnuts for recommending this cable... Man, they are even more gorgeous in person! Can't comment on any sonic changes, I already messed up a pair of ZS10 Pro's pin slots doing lots of A-B'ing so I'm just going to keep these sexy babies right where they belong.- Turkleton

NF Audio impression thread.
Just wondering, how many of you guys listen from a balanced output with your nm2/+? I'm considering to get a BTR5 + balanced cables for bluetooth+usb balanced goodness, but for that kind of money (a bit more on top) I could also get a Hifiman HE400i... I guess i'm asking is it worth it to get...- Turkleton

I think the Litz structure of the Faaeal's is what makes it heavier - cant find any info for the wire gauge so just a guessing game unless someone wants to perform exploratory surgery :)- Turkleton
