So, I just ordered the Divinus Velvet Wide Bore, and of course I couldn't resist looking once more on the offers... then I saw the Dunu Titan S on offer... had to have it, especially because I want to compare the soon to be released Titan S2. Yes, yes, I know, but I am also a 1DD fanboy, I...

Got me! :scream::beerchug: ...but but but I didn't preach...or? did I? :grin: . No , what I wanted to say is that I heard and still hear adifference between stock cable and the Eros S. It's of course not extreme, but there is enough difference that I can say the highs are more crisp and...

Exactly, you already got the whole point perfectly, what's that debate? I guess we all don't know :laughing: Jokes aside, some really think to hear a sound difference of the drives used in a DAP or AIO streamer/NAS, whatever. So, it is like that "Sandisk sounds better than Lexar, and not to...

Finally here! ...goes to HiFiGo and orderes immediatley, thanks for the heads up @HifiFrog !

I agree with every level you posted... hilariously funny... and then not, if you catch the wrong discussion partners in that, it can get very slippery and even hostile quickly. I just remembered the ASR forums discussion on 4000 $ USB DAC interconnects... whoa.... this resulted even in the...

Burn-In surely does something, but the effects are not mindblowing of course. IMO mostly the higher FQs benefit from it all so slightly. Cable burn-in? ok, seems to have small effects, driver burn-in? depends, if they are DDs, maybe yes, but BAs, ESTs? maybe not so much with the hearing...

...This special tuning gives the SA6 MkII one of the best mids centric vocal and instrument timbres and note weight I ever heard so far. It's a mindf**k actually because the mids are all still very clear and don't lack in precision, but are thick sweetly represented in a way that e.g. string...

Hello Andrew, thanks for your message! I hope I didn't sound harsh with my post, certainly it wasn't to downplay your/yout teams professionalism, because that's exactly why I like to watch your channels videos, and it's exactly as you said, if you're into this hobby, you can easily see that...

Didn't I already mention recently, that I hate it when experienced people hype something? ...and another one comes straight on my short list, how dare you! :wink:

I had to laugh so much now! ... because tip rolling I do since quite some time (know their basic differences due to my job partially), but cables? Nah, not so much I thought. Yes, yes, a well made cable, also in a cool colour (even third party) to accompany an IEM is for sure ok, but all these...

Sure, there's absolutely nothing wrong in not liking the bass with the DaVinci, but to my experience, it is still so well done, that this seems to me a high level critique... just to put that into perspective for newer readers here. And with the sheer abundance of choices we have, there's always...

Nice one! ... Project M will come on my July/August purchase list (if they are not sold out in that period^^) But at least one thing these tips make sure... the Project M will definitely get "glowing" reviews! :laughing:

Ah, so 70-100 hours burn-in... will do sir!... even better you say? :scream::raised_hands:

Some trouble shooting approach to find the suspect in this: IMHO It's not the mids per se, according to the FQ response curve when looking at it with the JM-1 target curve (which is, together with B&K 5128 measurement rig, the most universally adapted in terms of hearing physiology and anatomy)...

The darned 7th year... you're lucky that someone just had a divorce :laughing:... was not an expensive one it seems ;-)

...doesn't alter bass and lower mids, but would give a slight emphasis on the upper mids and mid-treble region, in order to gain more clarity and headspace?" This is the s**t man, I can't believe how much better the MkII's are now (to my taste). Clear recommendation if someone has the same wish.

My Eros S arrived yesterday and I was A/B'ing it with the stock Hulk Mini since then. I was a little bit of a believer in cables before, read a lot, know the one or the other thing about materials, gauge size, aso... (otherwise I wouldn't have asked for your extensive expertise in the first...

...your Ani's, but my two DUNU's, the SA6 MkII and the DaVinci's, as well as my Himalaya's, you can hear at least the difference between FIR Normal* and FIR 2x or 4x (2x vs 4x not so much to me). My personal approach is, with high res files and/or good recordings, I leave it at Normal, and when...

That's always the thing with Bloom Audio, sure they make nice intro videos and are often the first to "review" hardware on YT, but thy never can really objectively compare and eventually criticize the competition. They try hard to find only small things on both sides which are "not so good but...

The big Hi-Fi / Hi-End audio store Bloom Audio had a first closer look at the 180:

Just ordered mine primarily for the DCA E3 and others. Maybe I might be able to compare this setup soon with Aune SR7000 and the Aune S9C Pro BT or the S17 Pro... fingers crossed.

I can cheer you up, because in colour theory, black isn't considered a color. It's actually all colors!. Or rather, when you subtractively mix all colours, you get black. Your car actually has all the colours at once :wink: :beerchug:

I can't say it better than Larry the Cable Guy himself:

Thanks a lot, that helped me better to decide. :beerchug: I guess I'll give the DX9 a chance. Looking at my desk again with three monitors (2x 24 inch and one 32 inch) and some other stuff, the distance between the two 24 inch monitors and the hight there, the DX9 would just fit perfectly in...

Sure, you're absolutely right of course, it should be Ohm's law, but I read somewhere that you should look also at the voltage when searching for a suitable E3 amp. (guess here, and somewhere in the ASR forum, too. Reason was, if i remember correctly, that some amps would have enough Watts on...
