purchased mine last year too, also the balanced upgrade cable from penonaudio has no memory wire.

@crinacle hope you can test again the LZ big dipper and also the QDC Anole v6, it has four tuning. .

That's weird. Mine drains about 5% overnight when I'm asleep and that's fine with me since it's an android dap

Can't really compare it since what I have is the 2.5mm cable. I can't compare it on SE because I always use the balanced output of my dap

I'm using the 2.5mm version cable and it fits well. Well, to avoid damaging it, I'll just use an adapter just to be sure. Is there a way to improve the sound stage on 8s? Currently using red-grey-gold and stock tips.

@Flcforrestwei Can I use a 0.78mm 2 pin cable on FLC8s? I'm using right now the FLC's upgrade cable bought from penonaudio. Thinking of getting a 4.4mm balanced cable.

I'm not sure if it's really the DAC or the stock player that converts dsd into pcm. I use hiby app and it's not converting dsd into pcm based on the screen output. Not good UI though.

I don't find the stock filters of FLC 8s to be sibilant. Must be your ears too sensitive. What I don't like is its sound stage, not that wide.

@Flcforrestwei Do you recommend using jvc spiral dots on FLC8s?

Any photos for flc8d, flc8n and celeste?

you might try the hiby app

@Flcforrestwei Will you also be releasing balanced cables for flc8n and flc9? and will it be available immediately?

I will sell my flc8s then get either flc8n or flc9. Yeah, when will they be released?

thinking of getting the sage. what cable pairs well with it? i'm choosing between ARES or EROS II

Well, I'm a mid/treble guy. So a quality bass would just be fine for me. Read the review of brooko about the big dipper, but I'm waiting if it will be included on crinacle's ranking. Eyeing now for Noble Sage. I'm already happy with the 8s. But if they will make an all BA iem with a fix...

Loving the flc8s. Just hoping they will make an all BA iem in the future.

flc8n and flc9 will still be a hybrid iem or nah?

yes

How do I check how many songs do I have in 300r?

Get also the 300r and stack it with the teac

I would go for 300r in terms of portable use because it's smaller than the teac. No idea on sq and price of teac. If you want a portable android dap then get the 300r. If you want a dap/dac/amp, teac. I'm planning to get a teac in the future to use it as dac/amp for my 300r.

noob question. Why does it show MQA on the UI of the player when the file type of the music is flac?

1.) 123,456 2.) 125,118 3.) 124,638

I'll be looking forward to see the sage on your ranking. Thank you.

also the noble sage. I'm choosing between the two, Noble Sage or LZ big dipper. Just want to see where it belongs on your ranking @crinacle only if you have time to listen on those two. thanks
