I didn't own the F9 Pro before but had a F9 once and now using the B400. I would think that the F9 pro with the dynamic driver would have a more thumping bass than the B400, but this does not mean that the bass of B400 is anywhere lacking, but its perhaps more precise as it uses a BA. I don't...

I just got a 2nd hand R3. compared to my X5iii, I felt that the R3 is a bit more transparent and sparkly, but less depth than the X5iii. in terms of UI, the R3 is very much better and easier to use than the X5iii. overall, I prefer the R3 to X5iii, as I prefer more transparent and sparkly sound...

I just got the B400 at CanJam Singapore for event price of USD150 today. Before this I had the F9, which I sold away after I got the FH1 and now thinking of selling the FH1 as well. After reading quite a bit on the B400, I decided to audition it and after a few tracks on my X5iii, I am sold...

hi all...finally got the Fiio RC-MMCXB for my F9. before this, I was using an old single ended cable from Fiio, which is not available anymore, for my old Shure SE215. Top is the balanced cable and bottom is the se. the se cable have 8 separate wires, 4 for each channel while the new balanced...

just gotten the F9 today, as I am using basso it03, I decide to test them side by side with my Fiio X5iii, since both are hybrid with 9.2mm dynamic driver and 2 BA drivers, although the it03 cost more than double of the F9. I used the stock single-ended cable that came with the it03 and the one...

just got a red x5iii and before that was using dx80 with it03. after listening and comparing, I find the x5iii is brighter and wider, while the dx80 is bit more restraint and depth. also, the x5iii seems to be more powerful as it drive my it03 at 30-40, while dx80 would be 45-55 (both at low...

seems like a common problem with the small pouch...time to shop for a suitable case :ksc75smile:

thanks guys...seems like at least another week before I get the best out these IEMs...the only thing I will complain about the it03 is that the leather pouch, though nice, seems a bit too small and I have problem squeezing them in

btw, is burning in necessary? if so, how long to achieve the required result?

just arrived last night... enjoying it thoroughly, the sound, the fit...one happy family reunion...

just bought a pair of it03 and it should arrive this Wednesday, together with a pair of spinfit CP100. can't wait for Wednesday to come...

well...be wired...wireless is overhyped...wireless depends on the dac in the small little casing u have in ur ears or cans on ur ears to translate electronic signals to music...being wired means the source of music translated in the DAP/DAC/Amp goes directly to what on or in ur ears...please...

X1 and X1ii..though I only had 1st gen but not X1ii...for those who want an intro into hi-res music, for those who use it as tool to burn in their iems or cans...etc. well...its still an awesome tech compared to its price!   just dun belittle it...come on, u dun buy a X1/X1ii just to burn-in...

thanks, will try to get it soon!

hi, after posting, I try to edit it but when I confirm it, it got deleted. Is this normal?   btw, I am new here, just a week old...

I just gotten a DX80 and is now looking for a pair of IEM. I used to have a pair of ATH-IM02, but the pins broke when I was changing the cable not too long ago. Now I am using ATH-MX40, but I want find something portable for commuting.   Just wondering if the IT03 is a good pairing to DX80...

    I think the X1 is a good starting point for people wanting to try out hi-res dedicated DAP but don't want to commit too much in the beginning because they are not sure if its right for them and should they stick to their mobile phones. Also, their knowledge on DAP/DAC/AMP might be...

how does x5iii and DX80 SQ compares?

hi, newbie post in head-fi but have been using this place as a fab source of information on DAPs and gears.   My 1st DAP was a X1+A3 about 3 years back but thought of upgrading 6 months after getting it. however, too much options and not enough cash, until now. Actually wanted to get the X5iii...
