    Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread

    Do SM64 share the same cables for UM3X? There are very few cables made for SM64. The one I found said it applies to both SM64 and UM3X. https://www.moon-audio.com/silver-dragon-iem-cable.html Is that true?

    Balanced input portable speakers?

    https://www.head-fi.org/articles/headphone-power-calculator-spreadsheet.17131/ I found this calculator. If I plug in 16 ohm for impedance and 88dB/mW for sensitivity, I can see that at 147.91mW output can achieve 109.7dB which seems to be good enough for most purposes. Does that mean DP-CMX1...

    Balanced input portable speakers?

    https://www.galaxyaudio.com/products/mspa5#specifications Would this work with Onkyo DP-CMX1? Can I buy a splitter like this to hook them up? http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=5241 If that's possible, how do I know if DP-CMX1's 150mW output can drive them?

    Balanced input portable speakers?

    Hooked to the balanced output from my Onkyo DP-CMX1 I am now interested in a setup that put USB audio through my Onkyo and output to a balanced input portable speakers. Anyone has any recommendations? My budget is $500-$1000. I would like the weight to be <1000g. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT | Dual Dac | Balanced | Phone DAP

    Finally got my ER4S balanced cable from Lavricables. Indeed the balanced output is much louder as spec'ed. I also heard more details. Definitely need a balanced headphone to fulfill DP-CMX1's potential.

    Mine is HK version. My bluetooth seems fine. But I only used it to transfer files.

    Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT | Dual Dac | Balanced | Phone DAP

    My SD card was formatted in the NTFS format. It could be read by Granbeat without any problem. Perhaps your SD card was formatted in FAT format?

    Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT | Dual Dac | Balanced | Phone DAP

    I have a ER4S and a SM64. Both are 100 ohm impedance. I am thinking of buying a 2.5mm TRRS balanced cable for ER4S. If I do that, can I plug in both IEMs at the same time and listen to them simultaneously?

    Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread

    Just bought a new SM64. Was an owner of three consecutive ER4S. It seems to me SM64 is easier to drive to than ER4S, correct? I found that when I use the stock bi-flange, I can hear the bass much better if I push the tip against my ear canal. However, it bounces back when I relieve the pressure...

    If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...

    I am a big fan of ER4 series. I had three ER4Ses in a row. I used the first one until the line is broken. I lost the second one while riding public transport. Now the third one's line begins to get loose recently, so I am thinking about getting a new IEM to replace ER4S. I want one that is at...

    ER4P/ER4S balanced cable questions

    I have a ER4P with broken cable and a fully functional ER4S I am planning to buy a Onkyo Granbeat. I heard that Granbeat has a balanced output, so I would like to give it a try. I found there are places selling ER4 balanced cable for around US$200. My questions are: 1) Do these balanced...

    ETYMŌTIC IEM Owners Headcount - Are you one?

    I had three etys ER4P, ER4B and ER4S Tried Hifiman RE-ZERO and UE 700 in between also but they are not comparable sound quality-wise. Hifiman's build quality is so bad that I won't buy anything from them anymore

    Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT | Dual Dac | Balanced | Phone DAP

    As a V10 owner, I don't think Onkyo needs to worry too much about LG phones. While my phone has great sound, it gets hot very easily and I heard that many V10 phones died due to overheat. Plus, LG sux in phone software, even though my V10 is still kicking, it is becoming sluggish day after day...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    Just got a used LG V10 64GB for US$200. Seems much louder and clearer than my Galaxy S3 i9305.    Need to read the long V10 thread to see if I can learn any tricks from there

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Can it be a stuck power button problem? Samsung Galaxy S3 also has bootloop problem caused by a stuck power button.   If that's the case, removing the power button can solve the issue. You can boot up the phone by USB connection and then download an app to simulate power button when it is on.

    I agree.   I think I will stick with LG V10 then. It is the most discussed phone in this forum. I presume I can get better support here with V10.   Thanks everyone for your input.

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    My Galaxy S3 i9305 just got the stuck power button syndrome, so I have to buy a new phone.   After reading the last 50 pages of this thread, I came into the conclusion that LG V10 seems to be the best phone for my price range.    But it is too heavy for me, I would like to have a phone...

    Samsung Galaxy S 4

    http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_m8-review-1062p7.php   S4 better sound quality than HTC M8? It seems so just by looking at the numbers   But the written review said M8 is better. Why's that?

    Can equalizer filter out noise?

    I have some poor quality tape recording mp3s. They have background noise that makes them hard to hear clearly about the recorded conversation.    I notice many music player software has equalizer feature that can modify sound. Is it possible to use it to filter out noise? If it is possible...
