    FiO BTR3-FiiO releases the new firmware 1.2 for BTR3, new added EQ function!

    I got my BTR3 a few days ago and no matter what I try, I can't get the Fiio Music app to pick up the BTR3, I've tried resetting the amp countless times, removed the device from bluetooth on the phone and re-added multiple times etc I'm using an Iphone XS Max with V1.4 of the fiio app, amp is...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    Hi, I currently have the Z5 and change between muc-m2bt1 Bluetooth adapter and the stock cable. Does anyone know if the IER-Z1R works with the above Bluetooth adapter? Hopefully this isn't a repeat question, but would you guy's say its a worthy upgrade? I've had my Z5 for 4 years and in all...

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    Just a quick update to this, mine arrived last week and I have to say I'm very impressed, I haven't really noticed a difference in sound quality whilst using Spotify or even Tidal, I haven't tried high res tracks just yet so maybe there will be a difference? Glad I made the investment as it's...

    Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread

    This has probably been asked and answered already so apologies. But how do the N3AP's compare to the A3 in terms of Bass, Mids, Highs and the soundstage? biggest difference i can see in spec is the driver size 9mm vs 16mm? Seen 12mm listed in places for the A3 Thanks Edit: Wonder how they...

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    Ah right, unfortunately this is the only Bluetooth option I have, I'll give it ago and see what it's like, I used to have the original Bluetooth adapter Sony released and was happy with the sound, but yeah will know more once I've tested the new one.

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    I've still got my z5's, had them for 3 years and still amazed at how good they sound. Just ordered the muc-m2bt1 Bluetooth receiver for convenience, hopefully I can use ldac when Android Oreo hits the Note 8

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Think I'm returning mine, the sound quality is good for what it is but I'm not happy with only having SBC, plus I'm also having drop out issue's mainly with the right earphone. I might just have to bight the bullet and get the Wireless adapter for my XBA Z5 and keep them, my plan was to...

    Yeah there's no option for me to choose the codec, under sound quality mode its already set to "Priority on Sound Quality"

    Sony WI-1000X Wireless Earphones

    Hi all, I currently own the XBA-Z5 and I really want to go for some Wireless/Bluetooth earphones mainly for the convenience factor. I was looking at the latest Bluetooth adapter for the XBA and at £170+ its just far too expensive for me to justify it. So I came across the WI-1000X which I...

    FiiO's new Q1 portable DAC-amp: Let's drink to "Happy Listening"!

      Ah yes that's true, though I'm only comparing them due to the price difference, I will only be using it as an Amp rather than DAC, but want to know in terms of price and performance which would be the better option.    Or is it worth going for the A5, seems to be £99 lol   Edit: Just been...

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    Apologies if this has been asked already, anyone know if you can get an in line mic cable for the Z5? Mine didn't come with one but my A3 did, unfortunately I sold the A3 and the cable before I realised.
