Thanks for catching the negative typo!

I loved the original S12 and at the time, it was my preferred planar option since it sounded decently well rounded with a stronger treble that came off as raw sounding which was either a positive or negative depending on the listener's treble preference. Eventually an updated S12 Pro came out...

Yeah, USB-C is better for sure. I only list the loss of USB-B since I have old expensive cables I can’t use anymore. I consider it a con for those who might be in the same situation. The transition to USB-C on these newer units has been a little slow. I give it maybe a year max before everything...

The biggest issue will be long term support for streaming apps on what is a super old version of Android at this point that all the original M series FiiO DAPs run. Also, the M11 was known to being a brighter sounding DAP overall. I would look for something modern like the Hiby R4. It’s $250...

I really like the SMSL offerings in general. While they do come out with quite a few products throughout the year, they do seem to improve on their designs in the lower cost range with newer components instead of rehashing the same parts in new shells. The higher end ESS ES9038Pro at the end of...

It’s no secret I really liked LETSHUOER’s S12 and their C12. While I liked the initial S12 offering, it always sounded a little raw in the treble and I always figured they would find a way to improve the Planar performance and tighten the sound up over a few generations. While the new S15 is a...

Yeah, it’s usually eventually disclosed in private or public but sometimes it requires some searching which is strange. I knew the driver count in advance for the Titan and Crimson but it’s just strange they don’t mention it officially on the product page. Thanks for the link though. Will be...

It is well known I’m a fan of Symphonium’s IEM line up and since the Helios, I've been a fan like many others when it comes to Symphonium’s wonderful tuning and their recent designs that are stunning to the eye. As a fan of the Triton which sounded like a fun tuned IEM compared to the Helios, I...

Introducing: CORE™ CORE, our custom internal 3D-printed structure, provides an efficient and comprehensive solution for mounting and tuning Titan's individual drivers. This technology enables us to finely tune the sound output while offering internal venting and filtering for specific...

As a huge fan of the Moondrop Variations and older THIEAUDIO Clairvoyance/Monarch MK2, I have a specific love for refined slightly V-shaped tuned IEMs. I’ve been out of the reviewing game for quite a few months due to dealing with our old apartment flooding and destroying mostly everything we...

Glad to hear it! Enjoy!

Yeah, I need to update my review now that the W1 singles released.
