Edit: wrong thread

Very informative and detailed. Great review I love it! After reading the comparison with K371 I went ahead and searched for your review article on K371 but I found none. Did I miss it or you do not have a blog post on this?

From Joshua Valour: He mentions "veiled treble". Do you all agree?

I am interested in this pair of cans, and read through all 70 pages. (I wonder why some refuse to do so if they are interested to get one for themselves and keep asking the same questions that have been repeatedly answered in the thread). Rode, the most popular microphone company has recently...

Thank you for the mention. I am very irritated by most of the review videos as like you said, they are podcasters/creators and they are not used to reviewing headphones. The results of this? Rubbish after rubbish reviews have been produced which tell us nothing about how they sound. Those few...

Thanks TK33. Q5s THX module is <1.5Ω but still yes, it is less than ideal. I will keep playing with pEQ.

I also owned BTR5 but I misplaced it hence I won't be able to make comparison between them. They use the same 9018 chip but I as far as I can remember, I did not have the term "sabre shrill" keep rotating in my head when I was playing with them. Fiio did a great job tuning that brilliant little...

Got my Q5K yesterday. I'm not very good in describing sound but I will try: I find Q5k retains that older ESS's (9018 and 9028) "sabre shrills". That was the reason why I sold Oppo HA2 (9018) for Fiio Q5 (AK4490) when it was released. "Sabre shrills" affect female vocals and treble the most...

Can you describe what are you "missing" when pairing HD6XX / 800S / HE-4XX with Q5k compared to your desktop setup? I am particularly curious with HD6XX as I have a pair. P/S: I have misplaced my BTR5 (=®¿￥‰⁈π€ü℃κ) and I just ordered Q5k to replace it.

Bruh, I think you just tagged another Head Fier. Yes I am using 2.5mm(m) to 4-pin XLR(f) adapter without any issues, besides the bulk, obviously.

Yes PDV2 is DESIGNED for full sized planars :) Enjoy!!

Note 9 has been reported to work well with E1DA. There are optional cables to be bought along with both E1DA models, as seen on AliX product page. Android: 9038S: works best with c-to-c single cable. You can also use USB C OTG Y-splitter to conserve phone/DAP battery life. PDV2: Best used with...
