Oriolus Isabellae DD IEM discussion thread
I second the latter. For the former I humbly disagree experience-wise. Though I see no matter changing Isabellae's skillfully chosen original cable, which for me in looks and sound is part of its success.- Alino

Oriveti OH500 - anyone have them?
Agree. OH500 is a great overlooked hybrid. I found it needs some power and shows ts best with a mix silver copper cable like this- Alino

Yanyin Discussion thread
That does not like me much, indeed. No hurry to buy such low resistance iem since I never use the cellphone and have some good output power to feed. Very good tri-hybrid Penon Volt is only 12 ohms too, though- Alino

Reply to review by 'Alino' on item 'ISN H50'
As far as I know I can largely agree with your opinions, EST50 is different, sub-bass oriented but worth some compare with the good tri - hybrids I know. This said you are going to piss of some snobbish childish 'expensive iems' owner with that comparing.- Alino

FAudio Dark Sky Flagship IEM
With LGPT and N8 they are both great. Isabellae is more natural and mid-centric. If compared, DS seems displaying a V sound signature weren't for all these details displayed in every gamma with mids you cannot really call 'recessed'. In sum a more 'fun' sound for DS and a more analytical...- Alino

Advice for the replacement of cable on ISN EST50
Hi. Totally out of time I relpy you while listening to ISN EST50 with Linsoul 'Ninph' cable I have had on Drop. It is a 8 strands OCC graphene - single crystal copper mix cable. It helps tame a little the bloated sub-bass, keeping the good resolution and mids - highs dynamic of the IEM The IEM...- Alino

AP80 - Hidizs next portable Hi-Res music player
Hi. First of all, did you update database? Every new folder/file must be checked to be played. It is an annoying but relatively fast and effort less feature of this Hiby file system- Alino

FAudio - Discussion and Impressions Thread
I own both. Forgive my limited articulation skills but if I'd have to explain their differences, UM 3DT with its three DDs is a little towards dry and realistic sound signature compared to DS. Good bass, good mids, likewise highs though not so extended and sparkling brilliant. Good soundstage...- Alino

Oriolus Isabellae DD IEM discussion thread
I think so. Isabellae is not a greatly detailed earphone to the exent Volt surely is. "Isa" has a beautiful all-round DD sound signature centered on mids and mid-bass. For me it is really appealing, smooth and balanced with vocals and acoustic music. May be not the best for EDM and electronic...- Alino

DUNU releases EST 112, a triple hybrid in-ear with dual electrostatic tweeters
I am loving my 112 Est. And I thank @RikudouGoku for the clue. After some test listening, the taping of the internal vent brings out a little more noticeable 'thump' from the sub bass and do not damages the very good high frequencies and airy aound of the earphones. It is evidente in this...- Alino

AP80 - Hidizs next portable Hi-Res music player
The frame of the player feels really too little to bear a 4.4. Well they kinda provided it with OH80 amp. It is a good match with AP80Pro letting it drive smoothly more demanding iems (Oriolus Isabellae, UM 3DT). I will try AP80Pro - X with that too, some day.- Alino

AP80 - Hidizs next portable Hi-Res music player
That player navigation system is too clumsy and little pratical to have so many folders/files. The right size for my FLACs on AP80Pro has generally been 400gb. Fair enough- Alino

Reply to review by 'Alino' on item 'FiiO FH9'
Good review. I take as likely it can be very close sounding to Fh7, as someone already pointed out, with same weaknesses and alike strenghts, hence may not be a worth upgrade for Fh7 owners like me.- Alino

The Incredible Cayin N8ii DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube
I have had 3 Android daps. I do not need streaming services much. I always needed portability and best sound. From the times I could listen to a QP1R and a pair of Lotoos (LP6k and LPGT) it has been clear the system interface gives you many cool services but impacts, damages the pure sound...- Alino

AP80 - Hidizs next portable Hi-Res music player
Hidizs assured also a longer battery duration, if I am not wrong. Which whether true in the third AP80 version (special material ones apart) could testify a optimization work on new circuits and implementation. I like AP80pro sound and its power and dynamics paired with DH80 amp. My best...- Alino
