Finally received the P1 from Drop. I haven't tried any of my amps yet, but the only DAP that I have that seems to have enough power to get decent bass without EQ, is the A&K Kann, balanced with High gain.

Opened my IEM Time Capsule today and took out the SM3. Reread this thread to relive 2010. I don't use mine much, so they are still in one piece and still sound just as good. Now to finish the 2010 revival, I will get out the FX700 and Radius DDM (CK10 is still in semi-regular rotation). It...

I haven't been able to get the DC01 to work with Tidal on my Note8. It works fine with Neutron (with the iBasso UAC app).

I have used guiformat.exe for years. The only issue that I've ever had (I have more than 20 DAPs) with SD cards is with the Kann. I had one 400GB card that would never stop scanning. I removed all non-music from the card (pdf album booklets and one video) with no change. I finally made a...

I'm using the same version and it multitasks very poorly. If I do a search while downloading to offline, Tidal usually crashes before I complete typing the search string. There are other combinations of tasks that also cause it to crash. I'm now doing most of my Tidal offline from an Activo...

I bought the Questyle QPR1 solely because it sounded so good with PFE232.

I tried several times to get a replacement from A&K, with no luck, so I tried the Q-Jays cable and it does work. Unfortunately, it looks like it's out of stock on the Jays website. I really like the AKR02, but I can't recommend it at $1,400.

I bought a second PFE232 as a backup. It's still a favorite. I would be very interested in a 3rd party replacement cable, especially balanced 2.5mm.

Never got an email or tracking number, but the Mobius arrived today. I love surprises!

Mine finally arrived. Never did get a tracking number. DHL called promising to deliver Friday. They finally showed up Monday at 5PM (in a Hertz rent-a-truck). Very shaky fulfillment process.

Backer #809 here. Haven't received any notice about shipping yet.

Not the best at any one thing, but it sounds very good with almost everything. I like the small size (you can sleep with it). It's a very good all-purpose IEM.

Q-jays cable works fine.

I have a channel imbalance (almost no output on left side) on my SE output. I sent it in for repair and they couldn't find a problem. I only turn it on once or twice a week (it's in my office) and the problem may only show up when the amp is cold. I My left channel on SE seems dead when the...

Final Audio FI-BA-SS

Got mine today. Tried with Sony A17 (LDAC), ZX2 (LDAC & Wired) and Note8 (AptX) with ANC off. I've had Audio Technica NC headphones and they were terrible wired. The 1000XM2 is very good wired. The ZX2 & Note8 sounded just as good as wired. The A17 with LDAC was thin and disappointing. I...

I have the same setup. I got a Moon Audio Black Dragon adapter cable - 2x3.5mm female to 4.4mm male. Not cheap, but their cable are high quality and they can make anything.

I do still user the W4 and W4R. I have several balanced cables that I use on the W4R, but the gains on the W4R are nowhere near as much as on some other IEMs. Harder to drive IEMS are usually better on balanced and some players (like Pono) are much better on balanced output. Knowing what I...

I used mine originally just for Tidal. I use it to try new stuff, but I usually don't stream, I download locally (128GB internal is nice for that). I buy a lot less since I started using Tidal. Since the 400GB cards came out, I can put my whole 16/44 and HIDEF FLAC library on the ZX2, as...

I have the same problem on my HM-650. I updated the firmware to 2.004 and changed my SD card from EXT4 to FAT32, but whenever I restart the unit, it only see the directories on the SD card -- no files.

It does. I have a Samsung 256GB in mine.

It's a hobby.

My real issue is that it powers itself on within 24 hours of being turned off. What's causing that?

My ZX2 won't stay in a power off state. I power it of and within 24 hours it starts itself back up. Is this normal? Since I don't use it every day, it's really annoying. I have to leave it plugged in or the battery will be dead, if I don't use it for a week. I have Wifi and NFC off.
