@Joe Bloggs I guess he meant that if trolls do their thing and people get angry and fight back, the incivility rises... and that's exactly what trolls want, nothing else. They want to disturb, to derail a topic, to make everyone feel miserable... and yes, it's just human to get annoyed by such...

Yes, that is also what I get from this articles conclusion. Google and Android devs respectively just implemented the ability into the Android 14 "AudioMixerAttributes" but nothing more. This is just a possibility, and is not a guarantee that your very phone running on Android 14 makes use of...

I tried, but see yourself.

Ok, I see, very strong opinions, and the scientific level here is not worthy of this contribution and its way higher than what this guy did, I understand, mea culpa. But wasnt it a guy named @bigshot who said the following in his intruductory post: "I'd like to go back to the original purpose...

So, I stumbled on a very actual article on this topic of Android 14's "lossless USB", where a Japanese enthusiast was trying to find out what it means and what it actually can provide, since Google themselves are a bit "cryptic" with that. Sorry it's in Japanese but I provide also a Google...

Thanks @gregorio , I also wasn't sure, but I thought it's just not worth it's own thread and along I saw the sound science thread... and the OP of this japanese article surely applied some basic scientific methods to evaluate these Android 14 capabilities. Ah, so it was the thread starter with...

Unfortunately FiiO didn't show their new ~1000$ flagship, the FT7, which is scheduled to launch End of Q3 this year.

Sorry to chime in here not knowing much about the original problem, but one thing I want to stress here: Unfortunately you open the door to someone with bad intentions who just wants to sabotage a thread in order to be completely deleted by a mod. This would give them 100% success rate all the time.

Interesting article on the topic of Android 14's "lossless USB" and whatever that might mean: (it's in Japanese but I provide also a Google translator link) https://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/series/dal/1590643.html Google translator to english...

Seems that new wide bore Divinus Velvet tips are coming quite soon :metal: : Would be an instabuy for me.

Sorry for OT here, but it seems that apart from the SR7000 closed backs, there are also two new headphone amps coming, one being their new flagship, the A17 with "active cooling system" (they seem to really have listened to the community), and lots of new Yuki dongles galore! :wink...

Very curious to get your feedback :k701smile:. My father in law tried them on my DX260 today and didn't want to stop listening🤣... I threw him some nice audiophile pearls and after that, he went himself into my directory and....... Indeed a good sign for the AR5000.

Only thing I could find for the moment... it's in Russian, but at least you can see the SR7000 a bit better:

Top synergy: The transparency and fidelity of the DX260 with its immersive and holographic soundstage, paired with the relaxed tuning of the DUNU SA6 MkII with its captivating mid range, soothing treble and punchy yet controlled bass.... I'd call it ear porn :smile:.

iBasso DX260 and DUNU SA6 MkII with Divinus Velvet tips:

Have fun with your awesome giveaway! ...but likely it won't be your last Dunu :jecklinsmile:

Hi Paul! ...very cool unit, but I guess you can't give us more details yet, right? :smile: ...hmmm, maybe a small hint on the used DAC chip implementation?, power?, also Mango OS updated?, battery? just a little bit? EDIT: Oh, A13 is a nice treat! ...plans to update the DX260 to A13 also?

Yes, that's the one and you're right, the color slightly looks different on these pictures... at least it seems darker. The one that I have is the real Aune one and it came in a really huge and nice box, but I guess it was from the first batch they sent from China to the official Aune Europe...

A nice looking and well sounding budget setup: KZ ZS10 Pro 2 with Tripowin Noire cable and AZLA Xelastec tips:

Anyone in Munich this weekend? I heard through the grapevine that Aune will reveal their first closed back circum aurals there! ...would be awesome if someone could report on it :beerchug: . EDIT: Ah, it's already official, the new closed back is called SR7000. ..lol, and there's a picture of...

IMHO one of the best test tracks if you're looking to evaluate your headphones for micro detail representation in bass strings:

I didn't even know that Aune has an extra 4.4 balanced cable for the AR5000 (it comes only with a fixed 3.5mm termination but still nice cable). The guy I talked on the phone when I ordered and wanted to ask for the headphone stand, offered it to me for 45'ish. He said it's so new, it's not yet...

Can it be that if from Eversolo's side all is fulfilled since actually quite some time, and everyone is waiting for Roon (Harman International) to act accordingly and give the certification, that Roon is slowing down the process intentionally? If so, why? I guess that Eversolo was hoping to...

Don't bother with an external HDD if you have the option of mounting an internal nvme. I'd go for one of the best 4TB budget nvme's out there at the moment: Crucial P3 4TB Yes, it will cost you "only" about 90 bucks more than your external HDD suggestion, but nvme is totally silent and its also...

Excellent! Have fun :thumbsup:
