iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.
Soundiiz ap. Difficult to figure out for me, but once I did that I can quickly use any ap. But in some cases Tidal will have the album/song but it just isn't picked up in Qobuz or vice versa.- garysohn

USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
I'm a fan of the apparent remastering that I've read goes along with the MQA. I guess that is what I am responding to when I prefer the MQA file on Tidal. If I listen to various Etta James songs, for example, I will always prefer the MQA version. To me there is usually no comparison. Is that how...- garysohn

iFi Hip-DAC Impressions Thread
Tidal is rolling out an update to its Android app that allows it to communicate bit-perfect with a connected USB DAC. It always asks me to allow the USB connection. I say yes. When I hit play the Tidal app shuts down. Just shuts down! Disconnect Hip and app does not shut down. Hip did play with...- garysohn

I am told running under powered involves sending a square wave to a transducer. This will destroy a speaker. Others will know more.- garysohn

mods or upgrades for MP-301?
It seems you've found your sound. You could do a few small things like rubber rings around the tubes. A power conditioner of some kind. Tube rolling is easy. You like what you have. Don't end up with a load of money invested in a drawer full of tubes. Still, I'm glad I have my stash of 6sn7...- garysohn

HiFiMan Susvara
Aegir can be auditioned for fifteen days. I guess. Probably not supposed to send it back if it functions correctly. $800. And you can use them mono a mono for more power. You have to wonder what that would sound like.- garysohn

HiFiMan Susvara
Youtuber Currawong has stated in two videos that Susvara is available for $4000. I've never seen it sold at that price. I believe he lives in Japan. Is that some gray market price for a unit sold on a backstreet near the Acihabara?- garysohn

ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
I am somewhat of a noob. I discovered my cheap KZ Zst10 pro will do "sub bass rumble". I like it! I have to keep pressing and holding that iem into my ears. Guess a little too large or not right tips. Could someone please rank the Theiaudio iems based on this sub bass ability? Of course I don't...- garysohn

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
I'm a noob. Just bought KZ ZS10Pro. Using it with Hip DAC and can't turn the volume knob up past about the 8 position or it's too loud. It seems to track alright, but I would like to be able to turn it to 11, or even 10 would be good. The dynamics and even resolution don't really show up until...- garysohn

Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
I think I will wait until next summer to purchase the 5G phone I want. Now is too early. There will be new 865 phones (I know that upgraded processors are an unending circus) and the prices will come down. In my rural local 5G would be very beneficial. I also would like a larger screen than...- garysohn
