I think it is always a debate - whether I need a digital audio player (DAP)? Can't I use my phone as a source? Personally, as a DAP user, I would say I use DAP as a music source because I do not want my phone battery to be spent on music playback. I would rather bring a DAP with me solely for...

Have some good time with this beast and I am thinking to write an impression for it. Any comparisons or pair-ups recommended? https://www.facebook.com/theaudiolocheese/photos/a.2018359518403649/2146308875608712/?type=3&theater

I am currently using Opus #3 with my Campfire Nova. I find the DAP pairs well with my IEM but I wish to improve the treble extension a little bit while conserving the rich mid and low. I narrowed down my choices of cable to hybrid cable (Copper and Silver). Is it worth to spend few hundred on...

I just bought an Opus #3 and happily using it. I read somewhere claiming that DAP should undergo a "burn-in" process in order for it to perform at its optimum performance. How true is this and what is the theory governing this process? I understand that iBasso provides their customers with burn...

Thinking to get one of these two. Currently using Onkyo DP-X1. Appreciate wide soundstage and good details.

Budget: USD350 I am currently using Onkyo DP-X1 and wish to change my player because the balanced 2.5mm jack gave up on me. I do not need it to be Android-based. I appreciate wide soundstage and more transparent sound signature. 2.5mm balanced output will be a plus point. Thank you :)

Hi folks, I just started to step into world of IEM cable after playing around with IEMs for around 3 years. I wish to know is there a general trend for sound signature of cable material. So far my experience is pure copper gives rich and full sound signature but some time I find it to be full...

I am thinking to sell off my Campfire Audio Nova at SGD450 (which is around 300 USD). I need some recommendation for a good replacement. Budget: USD300 Sound Signature: Balanced. I appreciate good vocal. Need better treble extension as compared to Nova. not a bass head so bass is not much of my...

Hi folks, I always read about how many channel does the DAC owns in the product description. What exactly does the channel do? 8 channels means there are 8 inputs for digital signal? How does the number of channel affect the SNR?

Hi fellow head-fiers! I just bought an IEM cable. Unfortunately it does not come with cable slider - the sliding part above the Y splitter. May I know is it possible to add one without cutting the cable?

I own an Audio Technica ATH-M50X and I like the sound although some people find the bass bloated etc. I am thinking to get a wireless headphone for daily commuting usage. I have 2 options now: 1. Get a wireless headphones. 2. Get a wireless dongle/adapter to make my M50X wireless. Which will...

The new LG G6 and V30 attracted lots of audiophiles with their ESS Quad Dac which able to decode up to 32 bit bitrate. I am using a LG G6 with Campfire Audio Nova, a low impedance and high sensitivity IEM. When I plugged it into the phone, the Hi-Fi status appeared as "normal device". I am...

Dear Head-Fiers, I am Yong Shun from Singapore! I have been visiting Head-Fi in the last two years and now I decided to be part of Head-Fi as a Head-Fier. I owned some IEMs (Campfire Audio, Shure and SONY) and headphones (portable) and wish to share and learn more from fellow Head-Fiers...
