    Earbuds Round-Up

    And how’s the bass? Can it be EQ’d like the Masya? Thank you

    Thank you ClieOS, much appreciated. Are they worth the hefty price tag, IYO?

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hi everybody. Does anybody own and have any thoughts on the Rose Maria yet? I cannot find any reviews of it and I thought this one would get more mentions than it does. TIA

    [FiiO M11] Android 7.0, 2.5/3.5/4.4 Powerful Output, Exynos 7872, Dual AK4493 DAC chips, 3GB RAM, WiFi, Two-way LDAC

    Hi Everybody. Brand new M11 owner here, and I’m loving this player and it’s sound. But can anybody answer me as to why I cannot get the built in EQ in Spotify to work at all?? It doesn’t appear to effect the sound at all :confused:. I have searched this thread, and scoured the internet in...

    Portable tube amp from china?

    As mentioned above, you can adjust this with the little pots on the circuit board, but a word of advise.... take a picture of the board first, a nice close up so you can see how they are set now, just in case you adjust any and do not like the outcome, you can then at least re set them how they...

    The Fragrant Zither (TFZ) Reviews and Impressions Thread

    I’m afraid that I could not be sure of, as I do not own the TFZ’s. I can confirm that they fit my ES Velvets perfectly though, and having looked at pics of the No.3’s they do not appear to have hugely recessed sockets, so I am going to guess that they should be fine. But do not hold me to that...

    The Fragrant Zither (TFZ) Reviews and Impressions Thread

    Do a search on Amazon for **** cable, they do a big selection and all their 2 pin are 0.78mm, and you can select 2.5 balanced on most as well. The ****’s are decently made and good quality for the price. I have one myself.

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    The HO will override the LO, so you may need to unplug the headphones. But as a side note, I have had this 3 years and I always unplug the headphones every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times, and I’ve had absolutely no issues (I am guessing at over a thousand times of unplugging and plugging in again...

    JDS Labs C5D Headphone Amp + DAC

    Hi, Have you tried changing the adaptor you purchased? My initial thought is that this is only allowing one channel to come through. Try the cable that originally come with the C5D if you have it........

    Portable tube amp from china?

    Not at all, my B4 has worked flawlessly for around a year now. They are dead easy to open up and take a look to see if there is a faulty soldering point on the headphone jack. It’s all I can think of that may be an issue. I hope you can sort it

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I guess it could block a little more outside sound, it’s hard to tell, though being open/vented like most buds it will never solve that problem. What I have found though is that the seal is now MUCH better. Before I found that to get the best seal, and the best sound from the seal I had, I was...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Just adding to the foam discussion..... With the Masya, I find that a silicone ring first, then two donut foams (the first one is a generic coloured version, the second is a Heigi) over the top not only improve fit (though I do have a large outer ear section) but improves bass, imaging and most...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hi Sean, if you were to use IOS then there is an App called SpotEQ. It’a been around for a few years now. It is a full 1000 point spectrum EQ app, not some silly 5,8,10 point Equaliser. Mark 1 was fantastic, for a couple of years we were able to store music offline in the App, but then Spotify...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    This may sound strange, but try putting your lips around the bud and sucking (like trying to suck the driver through the grill). If no success then try blowing. I’ve had a couple of units start off like this and it can be that the driver is not seated correctly, and either of these actions can...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Hi Sean, Massdrop deals are only good to us over this side of the Atlantic if it’s a Massdrop only product and can’t be bought elsewhere. The only item I’ve bought is the Fostex THX-00, as I had coveted the TH-900 for some time and as these were as near as possible to those so I went for it. I...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

    Thank you. Just looked it up and it is possible, but it permenantly changes the line in to a LO, not what I was hoping which would have been ‘max the volume to change the HO to a LO’. This is what I was excitedly thinking when I see your post. Nice to know though....... I hope somebody can...

    JDS Labs C5/C5D (pg96) portable amp/amp+DAC

    Can the C5D be modified to have a line out then? I am not aware of this, it doesn’t have line out as stock!!

    Portable tube amp from china?

    I considered it as well, but reports I have read are not good. Lots of hiss among other issues. Do your research though, there are comments in this thread about the B5 and decide for yourself. I’m not trying to put you off, but personally I would swerve it.

    Portable tube amp from china?

    You are absolutely correct of course, apologies, I’m at work so cannot actully try it and I got my red and greens messed up. I have edited my original post to reflect this. Thank you

    Portable tube amp from china?

    I have found the charge connection a bit temperamental myself. It sometimes comes up with a green light straight away, even though I know the battery is low, but I found lightly twisting the connector in the socket until the red light comes on to work, and then instantly leave it. I do not touch...

    Portable tube amp from china?

    I wouldn’t suggest charging this from anything else. As far as I am aware the cut off circuit to which the info is relayed from the battery once fully done is in the plug unit rather than in the amp. It could mean the battery gets ‘overcharged’ and I am not sure what implications this would...

    EarSonics Velvet universal custom in ear monitor with three sound tuning options

    Maybe it was the source that was previously used that made the difference? And maybe they were previously EQ’d slightly? I find a great way of listening to the Velvets is to have the dial around 9-10 o’clock, reducing the mid bass made by the crossover, and then EQ in several dB of sub bass...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Oh of course, you can’t beat a good home cinema set up for TV, myself included. Though I can’t believe that after so many years in the UK, England especially (though not that it will matter), that you have never heard of Only Fools! David Jason (lead character) is a national treasure. It’s the...

    Ah, if you have this box set then surely you have at least some of Only Fools And Horses? If you want to get used to the English accent and humour then this is an absolute must have. Del, Rodney and Grandad/Uncle will acclimatise your ears. And make you cry with laughter and sadness in one fail...

    EarSonics Velvet universal custom in ear monitor with three sound tuning options

    Well I LOVE it. I have V1, and it it is still my favourite IEM, 3 years after purchase. I have had the opportunity to listen to several TOTL (1k plus) IEM’s since and still have not upgraded. All because they have not offered a sound that pleases as much as the Velvets do at their price. Or...
