HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread
Similarly, I was listening to Tidal, then jumped to Youtube to watch something. I came back to Tidal and started my music again and no sound/music was output. I think I had to close the Tidal app and open it again? This has happened a couple times — a minor annoyance, but an annoyance...- Aetherhole

In it to win it! Oh wait… not what this thread is for. I split my time between IEMs and HPs, so I’m looking forward to this thread growing, too!- Aetherhole

I actually am finding that agree with this, BA bass with BC, except with the Canpur CP622B. BA bass never bothered me as much as some per se, but dynamic is definitely really hard to beat.- Aetherhole

Canpur Audio - Impressions and Discussion Thread
I am currently running the EA Fusion1 instead of the stock Socrates and I really like it. The Socrates is a good cable, but as was mentioned, I there are better options for bringing out the resolution capabilities of the Canpur. The Socrates is warm and full-bodied, though, if you are wanting...- Aetherhole

Probably not the best question, since this hobby is more “want” than with actual “need.” That said, I “want” a bunch!- Aetherhole

Haha sorry for the confusion! The Eletech Socrates is the stock cable still, I just took a picture with the Fusion 1 after I had switched it from my Anni23 to the Canpur to share pictures on the thread.- Aetherhole

:beyersmile: Yep, that’s how Canpur rolls now. :o2smile: (Just because there’s genuine confusion: this was meant to be tongue and cheek, but no, the Fusion 1 cable doesn’t come stock with the Canpur) It’s a great pairing so far, though, both for comfort and sound!- Aetherhole

UPS came today (Finally!). Was supposed to be here on Tuesday, then yesterday, and finally today. Oh well. **For clarification purposes: the Effect Audio Fusion 1 cable is NOT the stock cable that comes with the CP622B** Enjoying the heck out of these already… BA bass? Utterly...- Aetherhole

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
I’m going to agree with gLer. It sounds too tight and you may need to get it refit. I had to send mine back because there were two spots in one of my ear that I felt the most pressure. I took pictures and circled the areas and then sent it back. Once I got them back after the refitting, it...- Aetherhole

HiFiMan Susvara
Aside from the Stax speed, I also preferred the Susvara. I loved the look of the X9000, but sonically they really didn’t impress me enough.- Aetherhole

HiFiMan Susvara
I’ve also heard others say x or y headphone dethrone the Susvara, but ultimately come back to them. It possibly could, but I think there’s going to be a place for both/all, as there always seems to be. I am genuinely eager to hear the Immanis though.- Aetherhole

It took me two tries for my impressions, too. I questioned the Audiologist on the first one, but he insisted it’d be okay. Congrats, though! My A12t is still going strong!- Aetherhole

Elysian Annihilator 2023
It’s early still, since I’ve not got too much time with it yet. Initial impressions are very, very good. So far the mids and the bass seem a bit more full sounding. Midbass hits harder, too. The sound top to bottom seems to have more control and grip. Sound stage also appears larger with a...- Aetherhole

Ferrum OOR - headphone amplifier with a soul ?
It’s an improvement, but how much is relative. I think it’s a big enough upgrade, but… diminishing returns is a thing, for sure. You might be to pick up a used one in the classifieds here. They end up showing up here and there.- Aetherhole

Elysian Annihilator 2023
I made the mistake of getting my Fusion 1 cable with the standard Con X set (2-pin and mmcx) for my Annihilator, so I had order the Pentaconn connector directly from Effect Audio and it FINALLY arrived today! lol Rookie mistake. Oops. It kept being delayed from EA directly (not their fault...- Aetherhole

Ferrum OOR - headphone amplifier with a soul ?
I briefly tried it long ago, but I will say that you can run the Oor without the Hypsos, especially if you want to save money, but I would save up and add it later if you can.- Aetherhole

Definitely understand that. While I’ve been interested in one for 5-6 months, it’s a relatively mild interest and I’m not ready to pay more than retail for them. Hopefully they’ll become more readily available once the normal release finally drops. I think I can wait until then, though I’m...- Aetherhole

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I can understand your worry. I am not a bass head myself and I was worried about the sub bass rolloff myself. I’m so used to the linearity of planars, like the Susvara. It was one of the biggest reasons why I held off for so long on the Atriums. Once I got them, I can say that I don’t really...- Aetherhole

Hahahaha I loved that scene when I watched it last night. When they just showed up in the car and the mob were just slack-jawed, I legit giggled! The whole fight leading up to that, too, was awesome. Landlady and her husband were so good. I also laughed so hard at the scene with the...- Aetherhole
