    Reply to review by 'zeissiez' on item 'Tanchjim Origin'

    What an exciting time for single DD fans. I had the EA1000 and the Falcon Ultra at one stage, I kept the EA1000 because it has more defined and textured bass. But now I miss the Falcon Ultra’s euphoric sound, better imaging and less cramped soundstage. I think it’s impossible to clearly say...

    Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience

    Thanks Andy for the transparency. The N3Pro is a special DAP, whenever I find a pair of IEM being too clinical/cold/plain, I hook them up to the N3Pro, and I hear euphoric sound. Hope the N3Ultra keeps this strength. I agree with Twister6, just treat it like a big dongle with battery.

    I also own the S12 and previously owned the Hook X. The S15 is by far my favorite planar IEM, sound so musical with bass and mids to die for.

    I agree on the macro dynamics. These are definitely not an energetic pair of IEM, and it’s fair to say they are rather dull. I too found myself keep turning up the volume to hear the mids. I find the major strength of the Kara is the timbre of human voices. This is the old school tuning of...

    The ESS team made a visit to FiiO on the occasion of the 16th anniversary

    The FD7 is my favourite IEM by Fiio too.

    Discussing the HIFIMAN Svanar, Audivina, and EF600 With Dr. Fang Bian

    Hifiman’s approach in trickling down technologies from high end models to the budget models, and reducing the prices as sales volume increase, really helped bringing high fidelity to the mass market.

    Heard all of Softears’ previous IEMs, it’s easily my favorite brand, look forward to hearing the Studio4.

    FiiO 2022 Annual Report-- Honors and Awards

    My favorite Fiio products in 2022: M17 - desktop performance FD7 - fluid, euphoric. My fav single DD, even more than Turii or Zen Pro. FH5S - one of the most underrated IEM. Neutral and detailed. Heard these in 5 occasions, only once the treble was hot as reported by others. My own copy is...

    On August 30, 2022, FiiO 2022 Autumn Launch Event will get to us. Let's stay tuned for it!

    I love the open back designs of recent Fiio iems, kind of like listening to full-sized headphones.

    TRN impressions thread

    I am a sucker for SE535-like tuning, i.e. full sounding midrange and accurate reproduction of vocal, as opposed to V-shaped, scoped midrange tuning. I sold it because the poor technicalities and poor extensions. I browse through the graphs, and found Audiosense DT300, and it’s a sound...

    The Audiosense DT300 is a hidden gem

    Great review. Is the Tea2 fuller sounding than the original Tea in male and female vocals?
