RS2 with full-size cans day! Love the warm-ish sound of RS2 and the details of Ether CX. RS2 has all the juicy to run it (Vol 62 in high gain)- Cheaplad

Hey what I said about their soundstage is just in a relative sense. My IE600 may also contribute what I described "smaller soundstage". You may need to test RS2 yourself to see if it is (not) your thing.- Cheaplad

HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread
One thing I find it unfathomable is that the retail price of RS6 is roughly 2.5 times of RS2 but, sound-wise the difference between the two is not that big. RS6 is more technically competence in, I think, the soundstage and micro-details (i.e. the technical department). Yes RS6 also can...- Cheaplad

HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread
I am not a metalhead and don't have many metal tunes but I did test RS6 and RS2 with Judas Priest's Painkiller and Iron Maiden's 22 Acacia Avenue. First off I think RS2 is by not mean soft or polite. I even think RS2, in low-gain, is more dynamic than RS6 in mid-gain. But the soundstage of...- Cheaplad

I mean you need to test it first. It is not for everyone. Not for those who prefer a bigger soundstage….. or men or women having bigger fingers. One small note about the small screen. I have a 256GB micro-SD full of music (6,000-ish) but since I use the album view to scroll through my music...- Cheaplad

My not-so-critical comparison with RS6 and R3 Pro as transport in a few words Using VE Ext, Sennheiser IE600 Soundstage: RS6 is much wider and RS2 is more initimate Vocal: RS2 is closer but it does not sacrifice the transparency for showing the instruments in the background. Good for female...- Cheaplad

HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread
Auditioned RS2 alongside my RS6 and R3 Pro and hated what I heard….. The reason I hated what I heard because it clicked all the boxes that a DAP should achieve: - compact and small footprint - R2R - no all other non-sense like Android, streaming, Bluetooth - Fit well with Mojo2 - it comes...- Cheaplad

Hey @Joe Bloggs please do us (or at least me) a small favour? Would you please just make the battery charging indicator a bit bigger? When it sleeps, the battery percentage is just so small.- Cheaplad

Product Launch VE7
Fast and detailed? In terms of fastness they are quite similar. About the details, IMHO VE7 may be a tad better. I think the major difference of the two is the exuberant bass of VE7, which I think is quite fun to listen to. (But bear in mind I only listened to snippets of three songs during...- Cheaplad

Unique Melody 3D Terminator 3DT Announcement Thread
Throw various cables at the 3DT (and using N3Pro) and I really like the pairing with SXC-8 (8-wire silver-plated copper) most. Yes, the PW Audio No. 5 (4-wire Copper Litz) does provide more impact at the low but the presentation has been less detailed than SXC-8 and roll-off in the high...- Cheaplad

The discovery thread!
After almost 1.5 months of usage I can report that it is definitely NOT a basshead set. It is not boomy, but it has a nice sub-bass extension and good impact. The transparency is very good. The vocal is not forward. The soundstage is not big so it suits live music in a more intimate setting...- Cheaplad

The discovery thread!
I would rather give it more time to burn-in. But allow me talk about some initial thoughts: - The transparency is very good; - It is with a rather balanced tuning with a slight emphasis on the high. I like how it handles female vocals and as well as cymbal sounds; - On the other hand (end), it...- Cheaplad

The discovery thread!
It seems it is the only tread on HF that the UM 3DT is mentioned. I bought the Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Special Edition. They are having burning-in now. Not a bassy-doom machine. Aftermarket cable definitely makes it better. And it is not easy to drive so that I need to switch to high gain using the...- Cheaplad

Hey, it is not a complaint but more like a plead with @HiByMusic (and @Joe Bloggs). I really like Hiby OS but I have found that the display of Chinese titles a little clumsy (since my day with the amazing Hiby R3). Could Hiby just put all the titles / artists with Chinese characters under the...- Cheaplad
