For those interested, my amp/DAC Geek Out 100 connected to Note 4 (with Exynos, 6.0.1) directly through USB OTG works perfectly with no additional apps, settings, programs, and the sound seems great. Don't forget that apparently the sound is better when the phone/computer volume is 100% and...

Those are IV, not VI.

Since you've been talking about amps, I'd like to repost my old post here for those who haven't noticed it: Firstly, there was a post here by HoodedHoodlum: "I've noticed that these are very dependent on source output impedance. When using my O2 or my Cayin C5, both of which have very low...

Heaven VI sound depends a lot on the source, because it uses a low impedance (16 ohm) balanced armature driver (balanced armature drivers are affected the most by the output impedance of a source). The sound is thin with a high output impedance source and lush with a low output impedance source...

Another solution is using foam tips. Air can pass through the foam. You may want to reverse the foam tips to prevent foam from blocking sound in front of the plastic barrel.

T-400 should work better (I have them both). It has thinner plastic barrel material and a bigger diameter hole. The Rockets bore is large and you may also get more open sound.

I agree with this. LH Labs Geek Out 100 amp+DAC has two output jacks: one with 0.47 ohm and one with 47 ohm output impedance. Heaven VI sounds more thin and trebly on the 47 ohm jack (feels more silent as well) and more lush on the 0.47 ohm jack. A dynamic driver IEM barely changes in terms of...

Simply reverse the foam eartips. Put the opposite sides of the eartips on the nozzles. That should work better than the inner fidelity method.   The reason for using these methods is to avoid muffling the sound/losing higher frequencies because of the extra foam that blocks the sound in front...

Hello, has it ever happened to you that when you plug in your headphones and you move your head, you hear a lot of sudden very short quite loud electrical sounds within a second? When I stay still, nothing happens. It's only when I move my head (sometimes only a bit of moving is enough). It...

Using an amp through the headphone-out will cause double-amping (sound distortion).

Could someone compare Fidue A73 to KZ ATE? They're both warm, so should be similar.

head-fi.org/a/describing-sound-a-glossary

A73 has a wider soundstage than A83 (see here).

If you use an amp with your iPhone or Android, you'll be double-amping since those phones normally only have a headphone output and no line output. For a line output, some DAPs and DACs have it. Double-amping can create distortions in the sound. E50, E80 have versions with a mic/remote and...

Hello, once you root your Android (voids warranty, so you may want to wait until it ends), definitely try Viper4Android. It's simple to install: see here: docs.google.com/document/d/15e7xv8AADnl0Ckqg8NiuQMTPLSgkIZCS4hU4Q07H7i4/edit#. Avoid SELinux (I didn't need ES File Explorer either); at...

Some users posted impressions of E50, E80 in this thread too:  head-fi.org/t/771066/soundmagic-release-e50s-and-e80s-in-ear-reference-series   In case you missed the sponsor thread.

Why do neither Noozxoide nor any equalizer apps that I've tried work for me (Exynos Note 4) (while equalizers within players do work)? With Noozxoide, I've installed the music player noozy and within the player it is written "DAC is incompatible with EIZO-rewire [M] series". Equalizers give no...

Hello, while trying to change the eartips I broke the membranes on both of the earpieces of my SoundMagic E10S IEMs.       Can I fix them myself? Maybe some DIY membranes are for sale. I may visit some specialist who might be able to fix it. Has it ever happened to you? I'm wondering if the...

How does Exynos Note 4 with Wolfson DAC compare with the better DAPs such as FiiO X3, X5, Studio V3 or others?

Your inventory shows you've never had any of UE 900 and Fidue A83. Have you tested them, or do you base this opinion on reviews? Why do you prefer UE 900?

I know Fidue A83, Shures, Westones, older Sennheisers, UE900, Sony XBA-H3, InEar StageDivers, Phonak Audeo PFE 232 have them. Can you mention some others I can choose from (universal)?       Hopefully tomscy2000 is correct thinking Dunu Dn-3000 should come with removable cables...

Hello, how much could it cost to change a non-detachable IEM cable? Can every IEM have its cable changed?      I may get an IEM with a non-detachable cable, and what I'm worrying about is its longevity. If I get the cable broken, is my IEM unrepairable?

What do you mean? The cable is not detachable.
