    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    Bought a second pair of Technics AZ80 at a good price in Amazon (I know battery life will probably last about 2-3 years) because I love sound quality of these TWS. Just tested the AZLA SednaEarfit Crystal for TWS (for Samsung Galaxy) and sound quality is even better than with regular AZLA...

    [FiiO FH7] Flagship 5-Driver (1DD + 4BAs) Hybrid In-Ear Monitors, Knowles DFK + SWFK Composite BA Drivers, 13.6mm Beryllium DD Driver

    I have the FiiO LC-RD Pure Silver cable and after purchasing many FiiO cables, this is my best one for the FH7. In fact I use the 4.4 mm plug or the 3.5 mm plug depending on the device I use (phone or HiRes Player). It was expensive, but the FH7 sounds phenomenal with this cable, and never had...

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    Just try the Azla SednaEarfit Crystal eartips (regular, not for TWS). I get much better treble extension with the AZ80 than with stock eartips. Bass and especially subbass are also very good. Avoid using noise reduction to get better treble response and EQ up 3.15 kHz and 10 kHz bands higher...

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    I have tested the Azla SednaEarfit MAX eartips in the AZ80 and they are really comfortable as compared with the Azla Crystal, similar or a bit better than the stock eartips. The MAX eartips significantly increase bass response and even sound volume as compared to both Crystal and stock eartips...

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    OK, thank you. I have also tested the JVC Spiral Dots and they provide more comfort than the Crystal and similar sound signature with more bass, but a bit less natural treble response. I have read the review that you cited about the Max eartips, specifically the decreased treble response...

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    I have the Azla SednaEarfit Crystal (standard tips, not for TWS) and the AZ80 sounds very good. I miss a bit more bass as compared with stock tips and L size is equivalent to the XL size of stock tips that I use. I have read that the Azla SednaEarfit MAX has a worse treble response but inflated...

    Thanks for your opinion. The AZ80 is a worthy successor!

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    I have the Technics AZ60 (old version) and the bass response is remarkably good. In fact, I have to EQ it to decrease it. Treble response gets better without ANC. However, despite EQ settings, treble extension and detail are average. Has anyone upgraded to AZ80 from AZ60? Is it worth in terms...

    The Kiwi ears Quintet Thread:

    Thanks! So does the Quintet have better treble extension and resolution than BA drivers of the FH7?

    The Kiwi ears Quintet Thread:

    Hi Jujoe, I see that you also own the FiiO FH7 like me. Can the Kiwi Ears Quintet compete against the FH7 in terms of sound quality? I know that the FH7 is pricier, but driver configuration of the Kiwi Ears Q is very interesting .Thanks.

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    The momentum 3 has excess midbass and even less treble extension and worse vocals as compared with the momentum 2. See RTINGS comparison "The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 are decent for neutral sound. They have a more balanced sound than their predecessor, but they still skew bass-heavy...

    Technics EAH-AZ80 True Wireless Earbuds

    I have the AZ60 and love the sound quality (better than Sennheiser TWS Momentum 2 except for mids). However , they lack a bit or sparkle in the highs. I am deciding between the AZ80 and the Sony wf-1000xm5. I have read the the AZ80 has better treble extension but much worse sub bass than the...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    Finally! Firmware version 1.8 of iFi Go Link works with MQA music using TIDAL Android app! LED turns magenta color when playing MASTER quality songs. Thanks the iFi support team for attending our requests! Thank you. Excellent sounding DAC!

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    Excellent DAC similar to my LG V50 ,(better than iFi Go Link). Unfortunately, new mobiles don't have 3.5 jack and good internal DACs. LG mobiles under Android 12 (last version available) do not output full resolution using Android music streaming apps (Tidal, Qobuz, Apple, Amazon...). Check...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    I have contacted the iFi customer support service without success, and they only suggested to use (and purchase) USB Audio Player Pro app for Android. They should inform clients (specifications) about Android limitations using iFi Go Bar with MQA or DSD music files with Android-based mobile...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    I have installed TIDAL version 2.31.0.1010.16 in my LG V50. Unfortunately, I think TIDAL app does not render MQA using the LG's internal quadDAC (limited to Android PCM 44 kHz) because the same track sounds much better using UAPP MQA. In fact, you can set DTS Surround using TIDAL app and it...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    Thank you for the suggestions. I will try this Tidal version in my LG V50 (i tested many older TIDAL versions without success for MQA rendering, I think because I upgraded it to Android 13).... I get no clear answers from the support service of iFi about MQA rendering from TIDAL app with this...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    I have just tested the iFi Go Link and it sounds nice coupled with my Pixel 7 Pro. However, it only works with USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP) to get more than 44.1 kHz from Qobuz or TIDAL apps! Really good amplification and soundstage from my Ikko OH10 IEMs!. A bit warm to be a SABRE DAC chip, but...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    I could stream bitperfect from TIDAL and Qobuz using an LG V50 mobile (with integrated DAC) but now it is not possible anymore (LG closed mobile division and no upgrades from TIDAL and Qobuz apps to work with internal LG DAC using latest Android version 11 on LG V50). I use always USB Audio...

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    It's a pity that the Go Link is not recognized by TIDAL app to render MQA files, all of my DAC dongles work with MQA files using the Pixel 7 Pro....

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    Do you have the MQA plugin installed in USB APP? I can use my old Dragonfly RED and Zorloo Stella MQA without problems using MQA files (Tidal app or USB APP)... seems to be a problem to play MQA files using iFi GO Link.... firmware update??

    Plug headphones into iFi audio GO link for supercharged sound!

    Just thinking about getting the Go link for a Pixel 7 Pro. Does Tidal MQA finally work in MASTER files? And via USB Audio Player Pro (UAPP)? I think Android does not enable any DAC to output MQA files using TIDAL app.... Only using UAPP that bypasses.Android music 44 kHz 16 bit using MQA...

    HiBy R6 2020 User Impressions

    The last version of Amazon Music (22.14.4) has compatibility problems with the HiBy R6, because Dolby Atmos songs can be played as if the R6 had Dolby! However, many 24 bit / 48 kHz songs are played only at 16 bit / 44.1 kHz. I have tried to downgrade to older versions (17.15.6 as it seems to...

    HiBy R6 2020 User Impressions

    LDAC bitrate is only 660 kbps under developer options or "best effort". How can 990 kbps LDAC be activated in the HiBy R6 2020?
