    Reply to review by 'liteon163' on item 'iFi audio nano iDSD Black Label'

    My ifi iDSD nano black label sounds better than my Modi 3 / Magni 3 Schiit Stack... But I'd rather use the nano BL around the house rather than just at my computer.

    I picked up the two pin version of this to run with my Shozy Rouge IEMs. Impressive sound quality for simple aptX. The volume is impressive as well. And the two pins are long enough I don't worry about losing the IEMs. My only issue is that wearing these with glasses is inconvenient, as...

    They ended up being a bit "too much" for me. Bass is big and boomy, yet still sharp. Just a bit too prominent for me. Treble is quite forward, but in a frequently sibilant manner. The mids are still quite nice, though. These are OK, but I just felt that there would be something better out...

    Review by 'liteon163' on item 'KBEAR limpid 4 Core 4N 99.99% Purity silver earphone cable'

    The BGVP NS9 IEMs I ordered came with an MMCX cable that was a bit janky (poor fit on the right bud), so I decided to pick up one of these cables as a replacement. Just taking it out of its HiFiGo packaging was nice - I immediately could tell from its heft and flexibility that this is solid...

    I've been casting about, trying to find an upgrade from my Etymotic ER2XR IEMs because I feel their treble is rolled off a bit too aggressively. The Shozy Rouge eventually came to my attention through HiFiGo and the Crinacle IEM graphing tool. I read around a bit and found quite a few good...

    I have one of these on the way from HiFiGo. I'll post a review when I've tried it out.

    ifi nano black - usb driver

    I meant if one is trying to power the device via USB, as USB 3.0 and higher can provide greater power than previous generations.

    Intermediate Update: I received these today. Listening straight out of the box with the default filter and tips, they sound quite good to me (via Modi 3 / Magni 3 Heresy Schiit stack). Very smooth with no range overpowering any other. I'll experiment with different filter and tip...

    I just received my NS9 order from HiFiGo. Straight out of the box with the default filters and tips, I think they sound quite good. (I'm listening to them via my Modi 3 / Magni 3 Heresy Schiit stack). I'll play with filters and tips until I find the best combination for me, but considering...

    Starfield vs ER2XR vs AKG K361 for commuting

    ER2XR. Definitely. Once I experimented with tips, I'm quite satisfied with their isolation and sound quality.

    Is a Magni 3 Heresy a good enough amp?

    After trying the Shanling AE3 dual BA IEM, I ordered these. I figured more drivers and an actual crossover circuit should help the sound better. And the custom filters and tips should help, too. Hopefully I'll get them soon. When I do, I'll be back with an update.

    I picked up a pair of these from HiFiGo, and they're decent. The bass certainly is strong, and the treble is clear. I just wish either there was one more BA to cover the mids or there was a better crossover. Not my favorite IEMs (that would be the ER2XR), but they're good enough to stay in...

    Dr. Chesky's Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc - Head-Fi TV

    Sorry for the late response. I didn't realize anyone asked about my listening equipment because I got caught up in the discussion of recording techniques. I listened to the 96/24 version (or is it 24/96?) on my PC. I have a SoundBlaster Z with a dedicated headphone amplifier and jack. I was...

    Glad I could oblige. :-) It really bugs me that Windows Media Player can't properly identify the disc when I play it on my computer. :-/ Sent from my Verizon LG G2 using Tapatalk

    Dr. Chesky's Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc - Head-Fi TV

    I spent most of my initial listening time with the "instructional" tracks rather than the music tracks. I eventually got to the point where it all felt awfully redundant. I'll definitely check out binaural recordings of music, but I doubt I'll need those "instructional" tracks again. This is...

    Dr. Chesky's Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc - Head-Fi TV

    I meant what you are calling level compression, not codec compression. Once I got used to the uncompressed sounds of the disc in question and then switched to another source, the new source sound like a flat wall of sound. No depth, clearly compressed dynamic range, etc. Sent from my Verizon LG...

    Dr. Chesky's Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc - Head-Fi TV

    I bought Dr. Chesky's Ultimate Headphone Demonstration Disc (24/96 FLAC from HDTracks) based solely on the video review at the top of this thread.  I gave it a listen and was somewhat unimpressed.  Yeah, some of the spatial effects come through, but I found that rotation around the microphone...

    Sounds like an excellent deal for you. I gave up Amazon Prime when they announced their price hike. I already have Netflix and Hulu Plus so I don't need streaming video. And I was spending too much anyway. If I need new music, I see if the local library system has anything good. It has helped...

    The Boston Bass Disc   Back in college (early 90's) I was able to get a free copy by responding to an ad in Stereo Review magazine.  I was expecting some sort of rap but was pleasantly surprised to hear the album was contemporary jazz.  The liner notes, aside from promoting their products at...

    I'm clearly not as "advanced" with regards to headphones as most here, but I still feel compelled to share my thoughts about my latest headphones, a new pair of Samson SR950 "Professional Studio Reference Headphones."  But first, some background...   I first started getting into audio late in...
