I think I've settled on the iBasso CF01 with some OE Audio 2-pin adapters. Thanks guys! :D

Thanks guys, some great recommendations there. I'll do some research and report back with what I settle on. 😁👍

Hi all, Wasn't sure where to post this, but before I go and buy Bluetooth IEMs, I'm wondering if there's a decent Bluetooth dongle around to convert my wired CIEMs to Bluetooth, similar to Noble's BTS of a few years back. I'm getting pretty sick of being tethered to my phone for the basics...

I have a set of K10's for about 4 years now. I've also had RSA Intruder for about the same time. I feel they're a fantastic pairing. I took both my K10's and RSA Intruder to the Tokyo headphone expo a couple of years ago when I was considering selling my Intruder in favour of a Hugo or Mojo...

I demo'd both the MDR1000x and the PXC-500 and settled on the Sennheisers. I found the Sony SQ was terrible. Bass boosted way too much, and overall sound was extremely bloated and muddy. When the music calls for it, the Sennheisers very accurately reproduce bass, although it requires a mental...

I picked up a Wagnus "Parhelion" Diamond Dust cable last year and it's exceptional! Really great quality cable. Flexible yet very durable, and I found it made a huge difference to my K10's sound quality wise. At the time I was debating whether to swap my Sony ZX2 for the Chord Mojo, but I much...

Yep, you can use a OTG external amp.

Nice to see some fresh discussion about these great cans! I've not found a decent workaround for volume settings yet, although I did have some random success when I somehow connected to my phone without having the type of bluetooth which syncs the volume/playback settings (forget what it's...

Has anyone found any velour earpads for these? The leather gets so hot and sweaty in summer :-(

I demo'd these and the sony's yesterday, and went with the Senns. For me, the sound was head and shoulders better than the Sony. The sony was dissapointing throughout the entire range. Bass was bloated, and the mids and highs were both extremely veiled and muddy. The sens are nice and tight in...

What about a Ray Samuels "Intruder"? Sounds like it may fit the bill. Digital, SE and Balanced Inputs, SE and Balanced outputs. Analogue volume knob, just a single small red LED indicating power on status. I get about 10hours out of the battery when driving my Hifiman HE-400. My only...

How is the GSM buzz from this dac/amp when connected to a smartphone and running spotify/tidal over 3G/4G? My RSA Intruder is terrible and I'm considering switching to either this or the 3A when/if it comes out. Also, does anyone know if there will be and Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals on...

Hi all, I recently got a new Sony Xperia XZ Premium, and when running it into my RSA Intruder DAC/Amp (via a standard 10cm USB-C to USB-2 cable) I'm getting a lot of GSM interference. I prefer to run my portable setup as a stack, and I almost exclusively listen via Tidal which means I can't...

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this smartphone. I've generally used only HTC flagship phones in the past, but this time I've experimented with the ZTE Axon 7 android smartphone, which has good specs, but is rather buggy and frustrating to use. I also have the Sony NW-ZX2 Walkman DAP for...

Please excuse my ignorance. Is there currently any way to use the ZX2 as an external DAC?

I demo'd some Wagnus cables at Fujiya fest yesterday and had a short chat with Haru and Noble's Wizard. I was very impressed with build quality and sound. I have been considering either a cable upgrade for my ZX2->K10, or selling the ZX2 and getting a Chord Mojo and using my smartphone as a...

Hi All, I have a bit of a dilemma. Recently I've found myself using my smartphone (HTC One) way more often instead of my Sony NW-ZX2 for portable usewith my Noble K10's. So I'm considering selling it and my RSA Intruder DAC/Amp in favour of the Mojo which I can use with my smartphone and as a...

Electronic dub :-)  

Probably 40% of my listening time is spent with electronic music, and I do use a lot of it for evaluating equipment and SQ. RAM is one of my 'go-to's for demoing gear. However, there is a bunch of really well put together electronic music which features real instruments and bands, and has...

Awesome, nailed it. Exactly the advice I was after. Thanks! :D

Basically asking... Will it work if I plug the TRRS plug below, into a S/E socket? Or would I risk damage/no sound? Looking at the ring positions, I can't see an issue, but I could be wrong.  

Hi Everyone, I just need a little help/advice as I'm a bit confused about Sony's TRRS connector for the ZX2. I currently have a ZX2, RSA Intruder and Noble K10's. I'm looking at getting a custom Wagnus TRRS cable for my ZX2/K10's, but I'm also thinking about buying the new Chord Mojo soon...

Yeah they did the same for me. Even though I bought mine for a discount at a trade show for cash and didn't have a receipt, they remembered talking with me, and replaced my first broken one free of charge (I just paid the couple of dollars to ship it back to them) and they also gave me an angled...
