    Help- FH9 vs FD7 or Recommendations for IEM under $1000

    I haven't used IEMs for a few years and was enjoying Dunu and ended up with the Shure 535 for my commute. I am looking for an IEM which would have a sound profile similar to a Focal over ear- like the Utopia. I saw a few posts that led me to the Fiio FD7 with the pure beryllium driver which is...

    Focal Utopia 2022- Is It Worth the upgrade?

    Hello All. Even with the best discounts at dealers, the new Utopia is still well over $4000. The 2020 Utopia is selling for a minimum of $1000 less if you look in the right places as of today.

    Dragonfly + Fifo E17k Amp Daisychained

    I have tried the Dragonfly but I must admit I do like the Fiio E17K acting as an amp due to the equalizer controls. I also felt the A3 amp seems to bring a fuller bodied sound as well. Especially from an iPhone where the Dragonfly sounds great but adding the Fiio E17k or the A3 appear to geve a...

    Dunu DN-1000-What is the next level in this signature?

    I love the DN-1000 out of the box- no EQ necessary. I am on a  search for the next best thing. The best sound possible at a reasonable price. I found the DN-1000 after a love affair with the Vsonic GR07BE but trouble with the sibulance, next a struggle with the fit of the Fidue A73. Then I own...

    EP-FX8 Tip Stuck In My Ear Canal- The Importance of the Correct tip on an IEM

    I can't be the only person this has happened to. Can i? I read in several posts that the JVC EP-FX8 tips made a significant difference in the quality of sound reproduction from the Dunu DN-1000. I purchased 3 pair on eBay from China for US$31 and waited eagerly for my enhancement to arrive. I ...
