Soekris ApS dac1101 V. MyST PortaDAC 1866OCUB v.3 v. DIXO portable USB R-2R DAC
Thanks Tarhana. Hifiman coming back to R2R Dap will be interesting. 2K is out of my budget for a portable dap and headphone setup.- vbvb

Soekris ApS dac1101 V. MyST PortaDAC 1866OCUB v.3 v. DIXO portable USB R-2R DAC
I have 601LE that I like quite a lot more than any SD players. Even 128 kbps mp3s sound better. I have been lurking on upgrading to another R2r based dac or dap. I am seriously considering an upgrade to a R2r based portable setup and any help is appreciated.- vbvb

The Tip-Rolling/IEM Modification Thread
I have been using Spinfit (small bore) for Phonak PFE. This has been the best tip upgrade for me (and the sound is more clear and punchier than other tips that I tried including foam and monster gel tips). Monster tips have been painful to use after some time and would not recommend. The...- vbvb

Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review
The fit is not perfect, with sound cutting off from one ear. I believe it could be due to variation in quality. I can adjust the connector and there is connectivity in some positions. There is no impact on sound quality though when it connects fully. It is a shame that for such high...- vbvb

Panasonic CZs (HJE900) Appreciation Thread and Pending Review
These do not have a perfect fit with HJE900, but still works. The length of the connector is a bit shorter and seems to be a tad thinner than HJE-900- vbvb

Roll call: Indians staying in India, interested in high end headphones/IEMS
Currently a good portion of my music file format is 16-44 WAV and 16 bit FLAC and I am quite happy with that. Could anyone suggest where I can buy higher resolution files for Indian music (Mostly Illayaraja and Hindi classics)? Also, is this worthwhile pursuit, considering the...- vbvb
