DAC for iPhone 15 Pro Max
With USB-C it opens up much more opportunities - has anyone tested that the existing portable USB-C DACs do work with the iPhone? Is there a cable that I should get? Cheers- LouisArmstrong

SE846 vs W80?
I have had several pairs of SE846 and either gave them away or went out of order. I have had much more expensive in ears since then but it is always my go to when I want something casual but better than AirPods / AirPods Pro. Recently I want to get another pair again but found out Westone W80...- LouisArmstrong

Ghost of Tsushima is a must-buy
Probably the best looking game I have seen. Make no mistake - I have a PC with 2080Ti and have seen what AAA games look at 4K HDR with all options maxed out these days. And Ghost of Tsushima is just a PS4 game (obviously you will have to play on a 4K TV and PS4 Pro to get the most out of it)...- LouisArmstrong

Current high end IEM that sounds closest to Westone ES5?
I lost one side of my ES5 a few years back, and since then I have bought numerous other TOTL customs and universals, including the K10, Layla, Legend X and Tia Fourte, but none of them seems to be able to give me the smooth and lush mids and good bass - the almost LCD-2 like sound signature, if...- LouisArmstrong

SP1000 vs SP2000 - expectations?
Obviously we still near the reviews for SP2000 to come in, but what would you think the improvements may be? Even better separation / analytical power or a more balanced / warm approach like AK380? Or do you think it is all gimmicks and the difference would be so minute that it is a matter of...- LouisArmstrong

Best IEM for gaming?
I know IEMs aren't ideal for gaming - a full surround sound system or headphones are always preferred. In fact I have an Atmos 7.1.4 system installed and for games that support it, the effect is simply amazing. But I also game at late night and 7.1.4 isn't really viable, and I do a lot of...- LouisArmstrong

iPad Pro 10.5" sound quality is pretty amazing
Best in a tablet I have heard, and probably just second to the Onkyo smartphone if we count cell phones as well. I come from iPhone 7+, G6, V20 and now Galaxy S8+. I would say that the SQ of the new iPad Pro is better than all of them. No it can't compare with my AK380Cu and probably is not at...- LouisArmstrong

DHC vs Whiplash vs ALO vs Effect Audio
Not that I am racist but I general have doubt over Asia produced cables, but the Effect Audio wires seem to be getting a lot of love lately, so I am interested. Can anyone shed some light on how do their products compare with DHC, ALO or Whiplash top end cables? I am thinking about getting the...- LouisArmstrong

Westone Customs - how have they evolved since ES5?
I still miss the lushness and warmth of the ES5. Sadly one day a few years back one side was dropped and could never be found. The softer end of the custom tube is still the best in the market in terms of isolation. Two quick questions: (1) How does Westone's current custom flagship compare...- LouisArmstrong

Best high end headphone for gaming?
I have a number of headphones that can be considered high end, including SR009, HE1000 and LCD3. However I would like more sound isolation for gaming and I only have one pair of closed back - T5p. Which high end headphone in your opinion is the best for gaming? I am thinking LCD XC as it seems...- LouisArmstrong

Hi there. I am a newbie to this forum and I want to share my impressions and photos of the JH Audio Layla that I have just bought. Can you please grant me permission? Should I start a new thread titled "JH Audio Layla Impressions" or just reply on Jude's Head-fi TV thread? Thanks!- LouisArmstrong
