Extremely Limited 64 Audio x iFi Audio collaboration for Robb Report
I have a different gripe than most in this thread. Personally, although I acknowledge that they are nowhere near the top of the heap anymore, I really like my A18t's. But I have never, ever said to myself, "gosh, I wish I had a more powerful amp to drive them to their full potential."- killaHz

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
After a lot of procrastination, I sat down today to try and solder together a DIY cable I made a few years ago with new terminations for my HiFiMan headphones and 4.4 TRRS. I haven't got the eyesight, equipment, or patience for this anymore. Is there anybody in this thread who will solder this...- killaHz

FiiO 2023 New Product Schedule
So, now that the M11S/+ are Roon Ready, I almost have to get one. The thing that's been keeping me from getting a DAP is that I don't want to have to stop using it when the battery dies. Does FiiO offer battery replacement outside the warranty period? -
TOPPING G5 Portable DAC/Amp Now on Apos
I'm one of those people who thinks "sound good" means "the output sounds like the input." You know: fidelity. Measurements are perfectly good at determining that.- killaHz

TOPPING G5 Portable DAC/Amp Now on Apos
This is the best-measuring portable DAC/amp by a fairly wide margin: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-g5-review-portable-dac-hp-amp.36542/ There are plenty of well-regarded desktop DAC/amps that don't measure as well.- killaHz

Introducing Shanling EM7 – High-End Desktop Streamer DAC/AMP
This may all be true, but I don't think I've ever seen a dual-9038Q2M dac that measures as well as a single 9038 Pro. And this tracks with my subjective impressions. The Pro is just a really, really good chip. Would a listener benefit from having two of 'em? Sure.- killaHz

iFi audio GO Bar - The Best Pocketable HiFi System, Bar None!
Good caps will protect your sound from running out of short-term power, but they don't provide electricity above that which has been sucked out of the phone. If your dongle needs lots of power, the phone has to provide it.- killaHz

"Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers
I just printed a baffle in my LED resin printer, and there's no way I can give up my office for the week it would take me to get the process dialed in and run all six parts. And Shapeways is expensive enough (approx. $150) that I could almost buy a cheap filament printer. Are there Head-Fiers...- killaHz

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
You know, I was wrong. Although iFi doesn't typically post noise and distortion numbers, the website does list a .005 THD/N number for the Gryphon. I'm too much of a clean signal fetishist for that to work for me, but at least they're trying.- killaHz

"Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers
I've decided to use this project as a way to resuscitate my T40 build from several years ago, which is in the "iterate until you finally break the damned thing" category right now. I don't have enough screws. If I'm going to buy new screws, what's the way to go?- killaHz
