2.5 vs 4.4?
2.5mm never made sense. Let’s squeeze more connections into a smaller space (compared to the universal standard 3.5mm we jack)- TwilightAudio

KZ ZS10 Pro - Excellent IEM, Poor Quality Control
I appreciate the info. It is disheartening that KZ does not pack their boxes carefully. But the quality of the IEMs themselves is very very high. I am still astounded that these cost 50 bucks. Thanks to everyone for suggesting I may have a cabling issue. Prompted me to experiment with them and...- TwilightAudio

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
Over the past month, I went over all of this thread. While a lot has been answered in regards to my doubts about braiding, I am a little unsure about sourcing wire. I know that any good quality copper will do, but are there some vendors (eBay vendors or PayPal friendly vendors esp.) who are...- TwilightAudio

Reply to review by 'TwilightAudio' on item 'FiiO M11'
@behemothkat I think that comes mainly from Bluetooth not functioneing well in general. I’ve never found any device that does Bluetooth well.- TwilightAudio

KZ ZS10 Pro - Excellent IEM, Poor Quality Control
So, KZ's bundled cables, at least in the unit I received and reviewed, are mislabeled. Because the cables have a predetermined curve and need to be plugged in a specific way for the IEMs to fit in your ear, the mislabelling caused not only a right/left switch, but also a phase shift. After...- TwilightAudio

iphone SE and MQA?
From what I’ve read the dac in the dongle is better than the ones apple was using in their devices for the last 4 or 5 years prior to removing the headphone jack. That said i would assume the answer to your question would be no. I know for a fact the the iPhone 6 did not play back 24 bit...- TwilightAudio

iphone SE and MQA?
Nope. At least the standard apple dongle is not capable of decoding the man files properly. Sounds like downsampled to CD quality or close to there.- TwilightAudio

Well, they kicked me out of the official Chord Poly Thread ...
Well. Pointing out flaws is easy. I can do it too. Here’s a freebie for ya: you ended your sentence with “of”. On the other hand constructive criticism shows a way to improve. Another freebie: Do not use the word “of” to end sentences. The word must be used in between two verbs, two nouns, or...- TwilightAudio
