Now not recognised by my phone ?? I have a THX Onyx dongle dac hanging off it

I am posting this to perhaps be helpful to the small percentage of people that struggle with the deep insertion aspect of the Etymotic range of IEMs I have had ER4SR and ER4XR models and settled on the XR type. I have small ear canals and struggled with the deep insertion, it felt too odd to...

I prefer black No "ear tickle" No microphonics Hangs nicely / stays out of the way / not stiff Not too thick 3.5 mm

To get the best from their hi res audio future. Why should we screw around with camera kit adapters and 3rd party usb DAC's?

Just picked up a pair of Audio Technica ATH-DSR5BT Bluetooth neckband headphones. rrr price over £300 Got them new for under £70 ebay I am a big fan of the Pure Digital Drive tech already (as on my Audio Technica ATH-DSR9BT over ears.) ther is something about pure digital drive I love. Need...

I am finding my custom iems no good for Covid-19 "lockdown", They are OK for me to use solo commuting and work, But now i am working 100% from home I find its a PITA to have to pull out custom iems every time I need to speak with someone in my house. Person wanting to talk to me: Me: wave...

I have ordered FiiO LC BT2 And Plussound Both are In transit / shipping to me. Both are 2 pin connection

I am auditioning Amazon Music HD against Tidal I am pretty sure AM-HD has more hi res content than Tidal. For example it has some albums at 192k 24bit whereas Tidal seems to max out at 96k? I feel AM-HD had the sonic edge so far in my a/b tests but I am still evaluating. Anyone else?

I sometimes tether my DAP to my iPhone's hotspot. This allows me to listen to anything I want even if I haven't downloaded it. I am out if my phone contract and thinking of upgrading. The unlimited data option seems good especially as I could stream to my DAP without ever worrying about extra...

I wish my iems had a recessed hole that matches the protruding shape from the cable tip. All that's holding them in are the two tiny metal rods I am tempted to apply a drop of super glue to "weld" the cable tip and iem together. I am quite rough with my stuff. It needs to be durable. Losing...

I have a skinny shelf running along behind my bed I want either a very skinny / narrow sound bar or some tiny cute 2.1 system (preferably white colored to match the shelf / room) a sub satellite could go on the floor. Watching TV via a Macbook Pro - connected to a larger monitor. I could...

Running out of the usb port to connect to my living room rig (below in signature) I have Tidal showing up on my hifi @ a 96k sample rate this seems 'fixed' and doesn't seem to change per track. Is that your experience? Or does the gear you connect your DAP to show variable sample rates...

I appreciate that 192k performance is a big stretch for spdif. But I have 176k working. Just need to go that last mile... I am looking for a 4 pole 3.5mm (hiby) to rca coax spdif cable. Preferably here in the UK. Any ideas for me? I think I might need a high quality (75 ohms?) cable. I...

I tossed my FiiO M9 out for Qobuz performance issues. Now I am reading here M11 struggles with Qobuz I am tired of my Hiby R6 Pro Qobuz issues. I would like to hear from someone running Qobuz on a DAP that doesn't have issues. Does one exist? Getting desperate here Who here has Qobuz...

Can it be done? @ClieOS Thanks

Qobuz screen taps are a bit laggy and slow to action on my Fii0 M9. Also running LDAC & WiFi streaming at the same time is too much for the FiiO (playback stutters) Is there DAP where Qobuz screen touch navigation operates briskly and and streams over wifi well AND has good LDAC performance...

I wanted to start a thread for Qobuz fans using FiiO devices.

Does anyone else get really loud noise from footsteps with custom molds or deep insertion IEM models (like Etymotic)? I have Etymotic ER4XR's fitted in Snugs custom molds and my footsteps noise really disturbs my listening enjoyment. (It's way too loud) I have tried walking with lighter steps...

I want to know if my Fiio M9 will transmit Qobuz via USB from my mac and transmit it in LDAC 990kb/s to my LDAC headphones. Thanks

Apple is so far behind with hi res. I like LDAC and use qobuz on a DAP Any here switched form apple to android just for its hi res audio? What about storage? - I have a 400 gig micro sim for audio in my DAP can you fit that into an LG 30? I am so stuck into the apple eco system.

I have a Sony LDAC Bluetooth Neck band cable with standard male MMCX connections I want to attach Etymotic ER4 SR IEMs to them (which have a proprietary 'anti turn' notch on the female connection) Do I need to do a custom (cut and join the Sony cable to the Etymotic cable then shrink wrap)...

So I snore rally bad. It's an issue that can cause friction between my partner and I. I am a fan of Bose gear so we got some on Amazon to trial. These don't noise cancel they "noise mask" Day 2 going pretty good. She likes the waves sounds. And the smallest eartips fit her well. Thet...

Can. I somehow connect my unbalanced Bose QC20 3.5 mm jack headphones to a 2.5 mm ballanced output? With a converter?

I had no luck with foam & silicon tips so I tried some deep insertion IEM'S. While they blocked out the outside world a lot (good - exactly what I was looking for) my footsteps sounded like thunder (bad). Is that normal? Do you folks with custom moulds get a lot of body noise like footsteps...

Dear Bose - Please release Htpx HD "Hi Res" neck band headphones @ CES 2019 "QC30 HD" The StayHear ear-tips are the only type that fit my ears and deliver correct levels of bass. But it operates with outdated Bluetooth tech now Put Aptx HD in all the other wireless models too Even better...
