Can you provide more details on this? Pictures? I read a lot of good things about E1DA, I have thousands of lossless files in my hard drive, I really wish to play them on my hifi thru a good DAC.- travellersolo

so in that case, if I'm using a conventional vintage amplifier, I'd have to get a DAC with 3.5mm output? And, where is this E1DA Discord channel?- travellersolo

Hi, I want to buy a E1DA DAC to connect from my PC sound card to my vintage hifi system. I read that the output is 2.5mm balanced. May I know what kind of cable should I buy to connect it to my amplifier? Any example from Amazon or other sites?- travellersolo

Mobile phone+DAC+Amp Opinion
I have an old phone Samsung Note 3 that has been idling around for some time. It is too cheap to sell, and it is still functioning alright. I read that some phones are having good reputations for their sound quality like some LG models. I am wondering, if I pair up Note 3 with a good DAC+Amp...- travellersolo

Reviews + impressions thread: Final Audio Design Pandora Hope VI (interesting dynamic + BA full size headphones)
Yeah me too would like to know more about this. I'm late to the party, but I bought a used Pandora Hope IV (not the VI) from a friend recently, would like to know: 1. Main differences between the IV and the VI. 2. What types of pad works best for the IV. 3. Any pads from outside of Final Audio...- travellersolo

Are Super High End DAPs Really Worthy?
I don't mean any disrespect toward super high ends, I ask because I really have no chance to try on those, obviously they are too costly. Just like I will never get a chance to drive a Bentley, so if I want to know I'll just have to ask people who do.- travellersolo

Are Super High End DAPs Really Worthy?
Don't worry, if anyone thinks Sony does have some special edges in regards to SQ, then it's relevant here. Best if they could back it up with proofs. I'm still wondering, if supposed many of us accepted that most players in the range of US$1000 sound very very good already, what then, costing...- travellersolo

Are Super High End DAPs Really Worthy?
Thanks for a wonderful analogy of camera! I think I see the point better now. But I still have doubts: If all these DAPs are electronic "things", can't they all be tuned into similar sounding devices? Or put it the other way: What parts in a US$3000 device that cost US$2000 extra to make it...- travellersolo

Are Super High End DAPs Really Worthy?
Yeah definitely, I enjoy reading things that educate me or clear my doubts (at least partially). For this topic, I wish to hear more on sound quality since this is still the No. 1 reason why DAPs are made (at least to me). If I can be convinced that price is not having a positive correlation...- travellersolo

Is there a placebo effect? As in if a listener knows he is hearing US$3000 thing, it must have some magic in it. Would really love to see a grand shoot out double-blind contest: blind-folded testers being presented with a few DAPs from different price ranges, see how they rank them.- travellersolo

Hi all. I have a Fiio X5iii from two years ago. Yesterday I updated the firmware to 1.2.5 and FiiO Music App 1.1.9, and to my dismay the beautiful blue VU meter display is no longer available when playing tracks. What's the problem? Is the VU meter permanently dropped? A second question: Is the...- travellersolo

FiiO Music App v1.1.9 - No VU Meter?
Maybe I can try if I can understand. Anyway if I go back to that older version would I lose anything useful? The previous firmware feels pretty alright to me. Another thing: If I perform a factory reset, will I get back to the original firmware in the state when I bought it new from the shop?- travellersolo
