That's true , to me and my ears , ymmv

Just to confirm, are Danacable Lazuli Reference cables the best match yet? any other recommendations ?

Can Jason confirm if the T is an upgrade in sound quality to the sp2000 ? Or is it a mid tier dap with more power ?

Wonder why Qobuz doesn't have a native app built in AK already

here we go again with the bomb of expectations.

I have a feeling the current Sp2000 will remain a side step to the T. Not an upgrade but a different taste.

What is the power amp upgrade we are expecting between SP2000 and its T version in terms of vrms or mw ?

The new quad dac system definition is more musical if it's tuned like LG V series smartphones.

So my little birdies prediction about vision ears have shown up, anyone pre ordering the PHoNIX ?

SBC vs AptX tests: Many note low sound quality and lack of high frequencies when using the standard SBC Bluetooth codec, which is supported by all headphones and other Bluetooth devices. A common recommendation to get better sound quality is to buy devices and headphones with aptX or LDAC...

New condition from MusicTeck. Opened to have a listen for 1 hour then returned it to its box. Considered brand new, not broken in yet. They are truly outstanding iems, but I have fulfilled my curiosity and moving on to try others. Buyer pays shipping fees. I ship worldwide.

Received the bird. Welcome to my collection! thanks Andrew and his staff from musicteck. They have been extremely patient with my technical questions. Running bird through PW 2.2-4.4 adapter into Sp2000cu. For first hour of listening, all I can say is that I am lost in the realm of...

M30 is full of bugs and manufacturer didn’t fix them in their latest firmware. It’s a shame they are not giving quality service to M30.

Which devices use that processor ?

There is a new software update to my SP2000 cu. Update size is 420mb. Wonder what the update is about ?

I know , and because of that it lost its edge. I’ve listened to it.

By terms of material , gold usually is the ultimate conductor. However as it seems Vegas gold is only a styling finish. Unless someone tried them.

Probably people aren’t encouraged to buy it at msrp after the 2020 version. It could be more appealing if they increased shell size a bit.

Is the Vegas gold different sounding from Cu ? I think bird is accurate enough to reveal these subtle differences if they exist.

True, but being an old school I could live without streaming and no android app sideloading. I know for a fact even if it’s subtle, removing network functionalities like wifi and Bluetooth from the circuit board improves the playback by a noticeable margin to my ears. Ymmv Local playback >>>...

Well I did just that , bird ordered with the pw adapter but not the wired version that costs $500. It’s the little piece $87.

Did you change the cable or used an adapter ? How can sp2k handle traillii ? Does it need a C9 ?

I mean the sp2000 is. But sure. I’d want a overall versatile and resolving dap like it doesn’t miss a single note from every track. Most of the good scores go to LP6 and I’d want to know if it can be end game or try hunt the Ti version

What’s the best DAP pairing with the bird ? Cost no object I happen to have sp2000cu, quite analytical and energetic.
