Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio
Are there any devices like the iFi iematch I could use to make my Fostex th-610s (25ohm 98dB/mW) compatible with the TA-66? 60 Ohm is the lowest headphone impedance that Xduoo recommend.- Q Mass

Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio
I'm guessing that this amp wouldn't be the best choice to pair with my Fostex Th-610 (25 Ohm- 93db sensitivity)? Does the 'eight times rule' mean that I should be looking for an amp of 3.125 Ohms output impedance or LESS? Have I interpreted that right? Since the TA 66 has an output impedance of...- Q Mass

Mid priced IEM cables thread.
If it's soft & flexy then I can cope with the weight (that never seems to bother me, on occasion I've even listened via my Quedelix with it just hanging from my ears and it doesn't bother me as long as I'm using a fairly secure IEM.) It'd be great if the Healer was available with black hardware...- Q Mass

Mid priced IEM cables thread.
That cable is very tempting when it can be found at sale price. How would you describe it's physical properties? (I usually favour cheap 16 core cables as they are the most 'limp' cables I have found despite being 'thick', and I value this above all other physical traits). Does the thickness of...- Q Mass

UK here too [shrugs], it's occured with 3 IMR cables that I've used regularly now, hopefully your cable remains flexible. I did like the cables prior to this, especially the angled connectors, that's pretty unique in my experience. I've got/had countless cables over the years, and only had...- Q Mass

My problem with IMR cables definitely isn't the ear guides. I've found that on both the old cables (came with EDP, straight plugs, pinkish/copper colour) and the more recent, which I received with my Elan (still pinkish/copper colour but angled 2-pin plugs) the cables above the Y-split became...- Q Mass

R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby
I wonder id the newer 2.01 version will install without forcing removal of the sd card? I ask as if I remove my card Spotify will force me to re-download all my offline content (at least I assume it still does this, testing the theory could be nasty as I have a really really crappy rural...- Q Mass

HA! I think I'm the only person to vote for black so far! Well, at least my second choice or red has plenty of support so far.

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
I bought my first Xinh custom cable very recently (entry level 16 core, bent 4.4, 2 pin FWIW) and although I like it a lot (super supple, chin slider actually works!) it started occasionally cutting out on the right side after very little use (no such prob' with my other 4.4's so it's deffo the...- Q Mass

Elysium and Avalon pre owned are both showing as in stock when I look....? Amazing deals if they're actually available. I've already got EDP and Elan, but would have jumped at the EDP Ace if it were in stock (especially if it were a used one!- not realistic I know). If Bob gets his own...- Q Mass

If you look carefully in the annular groove (not where the lip of your ear-tip sits, the other one) you should see a tiny hole, which acts as a bass vent. It's present on all of the nozzles (apart from the black one which is fully closed) and the differing hole size provides the different bass...- Q Mass

HiBy R5 Gen 2 - Class A headamp, Dual ES9219C, 35h playtime, MQA 16x, open Android
I'm disappointed that the R5 II appears to still use volume buttons instead of a wheel/knob. I'd also hoped for a device which would improve on the slightly sluggish operation of my OG R5. Perhaps I'm jumping to the wrong conclusion re' speed though, maybe the R5 II will run Android 8 faster...- Q Mass

Sorry to hear that, but I too have confidence that Bob will sort it out post-haste. My Elans had wobbly sockets OOTB so Bob offered to post out another pair immediately and then I could return the faulty pair. I opted for just waiting for the wobbly ones to be repaired, and a few days later...- Q Mass

R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby
I dunno, I tried Amazon and wasn't impressed. As far as MQA is concerned I tried it a fair bit and thought I could hear a slight improvement over Hifi, but there was little of my catalogue available in it, so it was just Tidals Hifi tier that I was a fan of (the SQ). Ultimately the catalogue...- Q Mass

R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby
Spotify is the only way I've been using my R5 since I received it, ages ago. This works excellently, barring the occasional hiccup that new Spotify updates seem to cause in any device. I had some issues where Spotify would just stop by itself randomly, and this lasted for....I want to say a...- Q Mass

Ah well, I'll be content with all black then, still good looking shells. My Elan's are very early in the burn-in process, but bass sounds like it has more 'meat on it's bones' than the EDP, which is my only, very minor wish for the EDP - moar bass. My Elans are going back for a minor fix which...- Q Mass

Those red plates look great, I'm going to ask Bob if he has a pair that he'll sell me for my new Elan! I can't comment on my Elan yet (just got them), except to say they're a great looking set in person. These SOR are the 'odds and ends' oem that is like the Elan minus the bone conduction...- Q Mass
