This DAP is the best sounding Android device I have ever heard and it served its purpose very well. Nevertheless I am going part with it because I need the DAP in the future only as source for my desktop gear. For this manner I am better suited with something like an iBasso DX300. The device is...- Hellraiser86

I am selling my beloved unit because my better half demands more space and to be honest I already have quite a lot of gear lying around... My TA is in great shape and was always treated well. It was my first "this is my endgame" device and served well in combination with my Z1R headphones. If...- Hellraiser86

Shanling M8 Android Portable player
It really could be the case. I was surprised, too. The M8 is playing without a break since then and it really opened up. I would say it’s soundwise on par with the dx300 (just with a different flavour). The iBasso plays about a 30% longer and the battery takes half the time to get fully...- Hellraiser86

A friend of mine ordered the DX300 and the M8. But he is now (lucky for me) on a business trip and can't receive them. Thats why he changed the address to mine and I should get them within this week - additional he has allowed me to burn them in ;) . So I can give you some thoughts after next week.- Hellraiser86

Thank you very much. It is more than enough for me, because the OG, my SE and the 2020 are not that different in hissing. The last thing I have to check before buying the M8 (can not find an offer anyways within Germany) is how this topic is with the new DX300 ;)- Hellraiser86

Shanling M8 Android Portable player
Why should I listen to music when I can hear hiss :) Just kidding. I just wanted to exaggerate it a bit. It is just because I have read many times, here on headfi, posts from people writing that they could not hear the slightest hiss with the Solaris with their equipment. I even asked once a guy...- Hellraiser86

Has anyone tried the Campfire Solaris with the m8? I am searching for a new DAP to replace my loved WM1Z because it’s too much hiss in this pairing. I really want a black background in terms of can’t hearing the slightest hiss even when not playing music.- Hellraiser86

SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread
All of these 3 amps should do what you want. I never really looked for the inputs because I just need one but if you’re after a transparent sound you should go for the Benchmark or SPL Amp. The Violectric has a bit warm tonality.- Hellraiser86

SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread
Hi there, I already compared them and had all 3 at home. Unfortunately I don’t know how to insert old posts in here so I just copied the text: I used my Z1R with the Phonitor and it sounds great. The Z7 will sound great too because if you already like the sound of them nothing will change...- Hellraiser86

SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread
The DAC inside the Hugo is superior to the Phonitor. But it’s the way around with the amp. The amp has a greater impact on the sound so in summary the Phonitor sounds better. But best would be Hugo as a DAC into Phonitor as an amp.- Hellraiser86

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
If you are up to really big improvements... To be honest DACs like TT2, Bartock or way more expensive ones aren’t that enormously better. Of course they will sound better in most ways. But only to a certain point. For some this improvement is exactly what they are looking for all the time. For...- Hellraiser86

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
The Hugo and ADI have both good sounding DACs. My favorite for private listening is here Chords Hugo because of the better imaging. But I prefer the more balanced/detailed sound of the RME for mastering. The ADI has a really amazing amp (especially for the price) and it deliveres the...- Hellraiser86

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
The ADI has several filters including oversampling. I don’t have much experience with all of them. I usually used the NOS (no oversampling) and SD Sharp filters. Both sounded the best to my ears. While the NOS has the most balanced sound, the SD Sharp adds something to the high frequencies...- Hellraiser86

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
The ADI has more transparency and clarity. Especially with its oversampling modes. Resolution is a bit more tricky. Hugo has definitely the advantage in most areas except the treble.- Hellraiser86

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
First of all, both units sound better with the Phonitor. Without it I like the sound of the Chord more. Here are some observations: - Imaging and dynamics are a lot better on Chords device than with the RME. - The ADI sounds more balanced than Hugo especially in the treble. - If you want to use...- Hellraiser86

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
I use the SPL Phonitor XE with it. It is the most neutral amp I came across and that’s awesome because the sound of your DAC is not changing. On top it has better separation and dynamics. The functions for Crossfeed sound awesome too. No comparison to the bad sounding one in the RME.- Hellraiser86
