I've been looking to get a Traillii but compared it with a Raven with an older bass-light tuning today and it convinced me to wait and give the final tuning a chance. Not sure how helpful this will be given it isn't a final tuning, but quick rambling: - Traillii has sweeter mids, probably the...

Honestly I am not 100% sure, when I was having trouble connecting I handed the stuff over to the helpful staff member who unfortunately couldn't get it to connect as well. I'll try both modes when I head back

Yep that's the one. I will report back here in case anyone is curious. Hoping it works so I can give it a fair trial.

Yep, Snapdragon 8gen2 indeed. L&P customer service indeed confirmed over email to me that the latest firmware is to address 8gen2 chip support, so I guess I'm waiting for Jaben to update their unit and I'll test after..

Tried a few cables including the stock cable and all had the same issue. I've asked Jaben about the firmware, hopefully an update will fix it.

It's a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has a Galaxy Fold 5 and is using it with their W4? I was at an audio store comparing the W4 and the RU7 today and for some reason the W4 just would only connect to my phone 10% of the time. The RU7 worked flawlessly every time. This was a real shame...

Got a replacement for mine as well, phew.

I borrowed a friend’s phone to do the update today, it worked well on the L side, but on the R side I’m experiencing similar issues. Sometimes the update actually gets to 100% and nearly finishes, but the app tells me “Update Failed. Please try again”, and then the problems start again. Seems...

Received an email from FiiO Support saying that the update is only available for Android, they didn’t say anything about future support for iOS. @FiiO Willson do you know if a method for updating firmware via iOS is being planned for the future?

Hi, how would you update the UTWS3 on an iOS device?

I feel like @Nayparm would have enjoyed his time here more without the MOT label hanging over his head, with all the rules involved. He was happily sharing his progress as an enthusiast, but unfortunately happened to break some rules he was (I'm sure) unaware of. Whether the severity of the...

This brought back memories of something similar I tried years ago. I put copper tape on the internal components and found that placing them on those capacitors, like you said, completely changed the sound signature. In my experience the bass increased in quality but treble and general airiness...

Ignoring the matter of who did what first... This is kind of ridiculous lol. Does anyone really own the copyright on a modification to an existing player?

Interesting, not sure if I missed the comparison earlier but could you elaborate on the differences? Was it a difference in technicality/tonality/? Were the mods done identical? Wish they were running the same firmware :thinking:

Extremely tragic.. RIP Frank and father.

Whoops, updated my post :P

If anyone's interested, I'm selling a 4wire PWAudio 1960 (2pin -> 4.4mm) , a Labkable Blue Horizon and a Music Sanctuary x Effect Audio Eos (both 2pin -> 2.5mm) :boom:

I'm at the Astell & Kern launch event in Singapore and just wanted to sound out: the SR15 is very comfortable to hold. The tilt seems to allow my hand to settle into a position where my wrist is straight/not bent, which makes holding the player pretty darn comfortable. (forgive the phone pic)

To be fair, while the graph for the ESR looks pretty alright (close to what I heard today and yesterday at Canjam), I feel that the graph for the Legend is kinda off (for one, that graph does not show how much juicy thicc bass it has)(A lot of bass. Really.) I hope people learn to look at...

IME sparkle is linked very strongly to treble extension and slightly to treble prominence. Taking cymbals for example, if an IEM has good treble extension the cymbal hit will ring long and clear, which gives it that shimmering effect. If there isn't much sparkle then the cymbal will just make a...

Congratulations Nic on finishing this monumental shootout! Time to go take a break

Yeah, that's why it's just in my experience haha. There are too many factors. I think anything swapped out in the chain can make anything from a minor to significant difference, but that could just be to me and some of my friends. We could be crazy ;P

As for the Fourte vs HD800 comparison, I think it depends on the setups used, especially for the 800. IME, while my 800 was still stock, the Fourte wasn't as bright, but it is still slightly bright. I must say that after some run in time, the Fourte treble becomes a lot more pleasing to listen...

Heard this at Canjam NYC, and have been waiting excitedly for its release. Really trying to get one of these!
