Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread
Great review, the A8000 has been getting a lot more ear-time since I acquired a Sony WM1AM2. It's definitely one of the most source picky iems I've owned or demo'd.- vaporsynthwave

Oriolus Szalayi IEM discussion thread
iOS limiting wireless to the aac codec would make me stay away from Bluetooth. in my opinion sza goes better with less colored sources so the hip dac might not be the best. Depending on your budget you could look into the EPZ TP50, iBasso dc04/06pro, or more expensive options like L&P W4 and...- vaporsynthwave

I find that the Fiio BTR7 pairs quite nicely if you're looking for Bluetooth and something not too pricey.- vaporsynthwave

Personally my approach in the hobby doesn't necessarily call for an endgame. My Traillii doesn't live on my desk as a daily driver; I break in out once in a while in order to keep it fresh and my summit tolerance down. In the meantime I rotate through sets I find unique and acquired at more...- vaporsynthwave

Penon's higher end offerings don't seem too widely circulated, possibly due in part to the reluctance of consumers after the the majority of their prior iems were considerably cheaper. imo their offerings punch above their weight, especially when it comes to overall engagement with the music...- vaporsynthwave

I just picked up the DC-Elite and it's excellent. Haven't been able to remove the Z1R from it but I imagine the Szalayi has some wonderful synergy as well?- vaporsynthwave

Too expensive for the discovery thread and too cheap for the watercooler 😅 Kidding, some Penon releases like Quattro and Serial have been praised across segments- vaporsynthwave

Feedback by 'vaporsynthwave' on listing 'iBasso DC-Elite Dongle'
A flawless transaction. The Elite was practically brand new and delivered a day later, thanks again :)- vaporsynthwave

The PENON official thread
hmmm about the price I expected. the same as the Legend, which seems to be the least discussed Penon release. Although it is a follow-up to the popular Volt and a more enticing (for many) configuration than all-BA. For now I will fight temptation, wait for more reviews and comparisons, and...- vaporsynthwave

Based on the reviews it seems like it'll be a nice contrast to my wm1am2 when I want a more energetic sound presentation. I haven't used anything with a stepped attenuator and was curious if the volume adjustment would be an issue but I guess the bird isn't too sensitive. I primarily use...- vaporsynthwave

MASS-Kobo Headphone Amp. model404
has anyone used the 475 with a Sony wm1am2/wm1zm2? They don't have a line out setting and I don't have the ground pin adapter but after cautiously minimizing the volume and connecting I'm not hearing any noise or interference. I've only used it with batteries. just wondering if there's any risk...- vaporsynthwave

that's true, I'm just being greedy. I use a dac/amp with LDAC when the need for convenience and usability trumps the need for the highest fidelity anyway. one reason I'll keep avoiding switching to an iPhone. Early on in the hobby I was resistant to using a dap but as I've acquired better gear...- vaporsynthwave

need sony to step into the ring. I know we're in the minority but I wish they'd put more into the audio and less into the fancy camera features. still contemplating upgrading to an Xperia due to the headphone jack/removable storage but they don't come cheap.- vaporsynthwave

I regret being too impatient to wait and listen to STORM at CJNY, that booth was swarmed every time I passed by. Although it falls into the same tier as things like the new UM releases and Rhapsodio Supreme v3 where I hope I don't love them for my finances' sake- vaporsynthwave
