[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
Apparently when the M23 is stable in Android 12 in testing (and/or their other candidates are also stable) they will OTA the upgrade to the rest of the candidates, which as far as I can surmise, will be those that are at Android 10 with Snapdragon 660, such as M17, M15S, M11S, M11 LTD and M11...- BobSmith8901

Hifiman Edition XS Launched
I agree with your sentiments. Lately, the pinnacle of my listening experience is a simple set-up: My Edition XS and Shanling M6 Pro 21 in turbo mode using balanced 4.4mm with a pure copper cable. Any type of music, from Ralph Towner to Night Verses to Hania Rani, to Ton Koopman's Amsterdam...- BobSmith8901

[FiiO M17] Dual ES9038PRO, dual THXAAA-788+, dual power supplies, 9200mAh battery, 2 volume control modes
I ran into the same problem with my M11 Plus ESS...the FiiO app would not install the update after downloading from the Play Store. I then went into the app and in the About section it will show if there's an update available and I was able to download and install. Mine is now on 3.2.1. So, at...- BobSmith8901

For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?
My favorite too. Soulful stuff. I got mine on vinyl sometime in '85. Lots of associated memories.- BobSmith8901

I don't want to be overly dramatic but your photos give me a no-kidding Annie Leibovitz type reaction. You have that ability to get these images of musicians at their perfect expressive moment with a sense of ease that is uncanny.- BobSmith8901

I don't think you can overstate how great Prefab Sprout was. I bought this as Two Wheels Good in the states back in 1987, I think, and just played it and played it. Has totally stood up over time. I mean there's no other music like it and it's basically uncategorizable. Steve McQueen Acoustic is...- BobSmith8901

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements
Thinking about it last night I think it's possible that one of the sound changes from your mod might be adding some low end. I have the Custom Cans copper mass loading rings rings for my 6XX and that has been my main takeaway from that mod. Your adding of mass (the metal washers and aerator...- BobSmith8901

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements
Thanks for responding and all the info! I think I would actually try your mod just to class up the look. Since I use mine without the outer and inner ear cup foam (for a bit more clarity, at least as I perceive it--I've also covered the inner ear cup with stretched out hosiery) that raw looking...- BobSmith8901

Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion
From total discharge, using a standard 5V/2A charger it took me many hours, like 10+, for my PA-10's blue light to stop flashing and be fully charged. I now use my Samsung A11 charger which lists on the unit that it's dual rated for 5V/2A and 9V/1.67A, and it charges way faster than a vanilla...- BobSmith8901
