Received Sony NW-A306 today. Super disappointed by the sound. Wi-Fi is very noisy so it's unsuitable for streaming. Fiio BTR7 sounds definitely better. I guess I will stay with it.

I have decided to give Sony NW-A306 a try. 330 Euro new. I need to admit I am a bit of Sony-fanboy too. Previosly I was always targeting expensive high end gear but sometimes less is more.

Dear Head-Fi community, I am constantly upgrading, downgrading and even completely removing my portable HiFi gear. Currently I only use Bluetooth sources Android mobile phone, Fiio BTR7 streaming to Beyerdynamic Xelento 2gen, Focal Bathys and Custom Art Fibae7u. I would like to get a streaming...

Selling Sony NW-ZX707 64GB DAP I have purchased after release in Japan via Fromjapan February 2023. Including original packaging, leather case. Shipping in Europe and PayPal charges are included in the price.

I am not using this DAP as much as I expected. I would rather want somebody to enjoy it. Like new, imported from Japan (no volume cap!). Including original cover. Original packaging is also available. Price including shipping in Europe and PayPal. I have no urgency selling it so please don't...

Selling Sennheiser IE900 IEMs. Mint condition with all accessories. Shipping in Europe included in the price.

Not the wireless version I have. Wireless comes with a neckband and 3.5mm cable.

I actually have both Xelento Gen2 and IE900 currently. I have made up my mind some time ago and want to keep Xelento but still waited before selling IE900 to test them with Sony ZX707 DAP which I recieved today. Xelento is just so amazing when it comes to full and bass-y sound. Yes IE900 has...

Received my DAP from Japan today. Amazing synergy with Xelento Gen2. Now I desperately need 4.4mm cable :(

Did you guys try to install android activities app (there multiple) and look for hidden activities/settings? Quite often they are available but not shown in the UI. I used to tweek LG V60 demo unit with szch approach. E.g. Shortcut Maker.

Nope, but out of my experience with US forwarders a couple of days max.

Mine has also arrived at the fromjapan warehouse. I ordered another item too so will wait when all arrive to forward to Europe.

In Germany gifts still need to be covered with customs. As soon as it arrives in Fromjapan warehouse depending on the shipping company reducing the value would be a better approach. I am also thinking on ordering something in addition but don't really need anything :)

I have paired Xelento 2 woth BTR7, slight improvement of SQ over the official neckband and massive battery life improvement, very impressive bluetooth sound! Now I am looking for the official 4.4mm cable that is part of the wired Xelento2 package... Beyerdynamic support is not helpful, they...

I have ordered today from Rakuten via https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en. They have 10% discount today. Let's see how will this work out. You can use my referral if you want (not sure of I am breaking any forum rules here): https://affili.fromjapan.co.jp/gateway/Q77681

Is EU version planned? As of now I only see A-Series been promoted. If it is planned it would be interesting to see if volume cap is still a thing. I had the Jap version of WM1AM2 and did enjoy the sound quality but it was just too big to carry around. I actually really like the design of ZX707...

My go-to is Engadget or Verge but they tend to cover mainstream tech only. Looking forward to Sony anouncements.

I am not starting a discussion, I am commenting on the previous statements. As I said, there should not be "belief" here, we are not in church and we do not discuss religions in this forum but physical equipment that produces sound waves or electric currents. I am fine if people state that they...

Selling my FIBAE 7U. Re-shell option confirmed with Piotr: https://thecustomart.com/shop/acrylic-products/ownership-transfer-acrylic/ Comes with Null Audio microphone cable. Shipping from Germany. Shipping cost and any additional charges are not included.

Good communication and very fast shipping. Thanks!

Did anyone objectively compare the wireless neckband of the Xelentos 2nd gen with wired connection and a "better" source like Fiio BTR7 or a decent DAP? I claim to have good hearing and I don't hear significant differences between all 3 connection types with a Xperia IV phone including BTR7...

Is there any measurable frequency response change over time anywhere documented? If not then it's just one or combination of the following: - emotions - setting (environment) - volume - brain "burn-in", your neural networks adjusting to the sound signature - physical wear of the tips - changes...
