A little history, I've been searching for the one IEM that I can settle on. And it's been a heck of a journey, every IEM I've tried either had fit issues or something about the sound that just bugged me. I don't know what the kind of "signature/tuning" that I like in an IEM (more like i can't...

Do you guys use replay gain on it? Been searching for this answer and so far not having much luck. The way I I understand (replay gain) it to work is create a playlist, add songs to play list, select all the songs, run replay gain on all songs on that play list. My question is, what if you later...

this will be my first time at CanJam, do they sell anything or are they just there to show their upcoming gear?

on the SR25 MKII, you have to create a playlist, add songs to the list, select the songs and then apply replay gain. The more songs you have the longer it takes. Now the question, if I have playlist (about 40 songs) where replay gain was already applied. I add 2 more new songs to the same list...

Since the replaygain is applied on the playlist. if you add a new song to the playlist (after replaygain was set already) do you have to rerun replaygain again on the whole playlist? or do you just apply replaygain on the one song that you just added?

thanks I will look into the M11 Plus LTD

Some players like (Astell & Kern) have replay gain built into the player. Do you still need to have your files tagged for replay gain to have an effect? I know on a computer the replaygain is ignored unless the file itself has been tag with replay gain I notice that Cowon has this called A.I...

As the title states, is the Fiio M11 plus LTD as good as the Kann Alpha or is the Kann alpha better in the terms of SQ? Would any consider Fiio M11 as a mid tier or above based on SQ?

There are 2 sleep timers on the unit, one that is under the display setting and then the sleep timer within the Ibasso music app which actually powers off the unit. I will try disabling the sleep timer under the display setting and see what happens. Thanks

Recently purchased the DX160 (no lurker add on yet) and the sleep timer is set for 1 minute. if i leave it with the screen off undisturbed for like 10 - 15 minutes and come back to it I find that the play/FF/previous buttons do not do anything. Pressing the buttons It won't wake the unit, no...

For those using Android players, can you install 3rd party music players? and will those work with the dac? Or are you stuck with the default music for best performance

it always made me wonder how good is a top end dac/amp/source vs a mid tier dac/ampsource. Take away from all the aesthetics and just by SQ/performance alone, how much of a jump is it really. Everytime a review is made it always makes the newer version seem that much more amazing. A lot of times...

I had another thread with something somewhat similar, the source was different, dac & IEM the same but the output sound was different sounding, Which baffled me completely.

I recently got the Lotoo Paw S1 and was testing it out. First I tried my cell phone with UAPP and it sounded very nice but the form factor (big phone) wasn't very to convenient. Next I decided to try using the Hiby R3 Pro with it (I did switched the audio out on the HIBY to Dock mode). All...

When social media and word of mouth became a bigger hype machine than the magazines. As someone already mentioned before, send out the new product to as many hype man as possible to generate buzz. There will never be a true independent review unless the product was purchased by the...

At some point diminishing returns must kick in. And from what I can tell most companies buy ba's from Knowles or have them tune it in a particular way. So I wonder how much "research" these companies are actually doing.

Just wanted to give an update, I opted for the Westone W40. I really liked the campfire Audio 2020 it just wasn't comfortable enough. And the W60 just seemed to bassy to me. While I don't doubt there are prob some great Chi Fi brands that would work I just don't want to spend any more time and...

My source is my AK SR15, when i was at the dealer I was using my unit and my songs. You know it's funny that you mention changing the source. At one point I was thinking about getting the chord mojo but then I didn't want to have to deal with a stack. As for the source vs the IEM/Cans it seems...

The T2 + looks promising, the Mangird Tea looks like it has a large shell and may be uncomfortable.

I have a 1000-1100 budget. I listen to a variety of music, from Pop, Rock, contemporary, Jazz and etc to alternative (from the 80's, 90's, and up). I listen to some classical music but not really that much. I'd say about 15 percent of my music is classical. Comfort is huge for me, if i can't...

I was looking to replace my current IEM (Westone AM Pro 30, used to be in a band, not anymore). I wanted something that would be usable at my desk when I'm working, when I'm in bed resting or when I go out/travel First place I looked was at the Westone line. I like the westones because they (to...

not to long ago I posted asking for advice for a new IEM, my budget was up to 1K. Anyway, after going through may reviews online (outside of forum). I brought the Tin HiFI P1, I have this thing for planar and the Tin HiFi intrigued me. I would have gotten the RHA CL2 but reviews for there seemed...

Sorry, my budget is below $1000, this is will be my go to do it all IEM. So i really want a good one. I listen pretty much to everything except classical (i do but very limited).

looking for some insight. I posted this bit in the help & recommendation forum but there weren't many responses. And the one person who did respond suggested I try here So I am looking for the following type of IEM Highs, lows and bass - does not bleed into each other Highs, lows and bass -...

Thank you for replying, I did look at the JH 13V2 at my local audio shop (they were having a sale so it was less than 1k) but the body is huge. I could not get it to fit properly even though it did sound very very good. I will post in the Chi-Fi forum and see what they say, I'm not very brand...
