Recently got this used, and I'm liking the sound over some more expensive iem's, and it's only $500. Maybe because it's my first experience with electrostatic. But it's a bit old in the iem world, several years, and I am wondering if there is anything more recent that folks have experience for...

I've enjoyed my BTR7 for over a year. Recently, I learned that it might be good to update the firmware of the BTR7. I dutifully went to the FIIO website, and there it instructed me to load the FIIO Control App on my iphone and connect to the BTR7. I did so, and the app told me that 1.95 was...

I am getting what appears to be AC hum when recording to a Tascam from my ipad. It varies from below to up to -39 db. It's not really audible when recording at up to -12 db, but still.... I have a reasonable cable, but it seems not good enough. Can anyone recommend a good shielded cable? I...

Yes, we have lots of very high end DAPs, ranging from SP3000, to Cayins, and I won't even mention the huge M17. But for smaller, if one wants as good as one can get subject to size, what is the current best *small* (although ok if heavy) DAP? I am thinking maybe the Kann Max? Anyone else have...

This looks like another one of those AK DAPs with a volume control begging to be broken off.

I've been having a devil of a time finding good tips that seal for my recently bought iem (Amazon delivered my most expensive iem ever - Campfire Andromeda 2020 - Don't tell my wife). Now these are not huge iem's, but for some reason are more troublesome than others I've had before. I've tried...

Goin through an old box, I found a JBL E55 BT. For fun, i connected it to my M3X player. it did not sound half bad. Only 49% bad. But it is SO lightweight, that I am thinking for travel it might be useful, since it has halfway decent passive isolation. This thing has to be 2-3 years old. Does...

So, I have many tens of thousands of songs in my collection. Possibly typical for a generation that grew up collecting. I also now have a FIIO M11 Pro player. Problem is, all the music software I've tried running on it, including top ones, choke or have long delays when searching or going from...

For some reason, my player won't scan cards. It stays frozen at 0%. It will also play songs fine from this card when I select them from folders. But it just won't scan that card. The little asterisk keeps swirling on the top left, but it stays at 0%. And then it goes back to the main screen...

I have tape cassettes going back to the 70's and 80's, in decent condition, I think. The audio on these was recorded on equipment ranging from a 1971 cassette recorder/player from Rat Shack, to a decent stereo from the early 80's. I'd like to convert these to digital format. I am looking for a...

Hi, I hope this is the best forum for this question. Didn't see anything closer. I have tape cassettes going back to the 70's and 80's, in decent condition, I think. The audio on these was recorded on equipment ranging from a 1971 cassette recorder/player from Rat Shack, to a decent stereo from...

Found this unit going through some things. Did a quick listen in my SR15 and Focal Clear setup. Did not sound terrible, but based on the specs, can this fairly ancient and cheap amplifier still play in the same ball park as today's FIIO Q5s and IFI xdsd league?

(This probably also applies to many of the current units, like the SP1000 and SE100, etc.) I frequently have a number of songs from a given artist. Quite often, the albums are not complete. I might have 4/12 from one album, 2/10 from another, 11/12 from another, and so on. And when I go to...

Recently got the SR15. Overall, sound quality is good, especially for a very portable unit (and it doesn't hurt that I am feeding it to a Clear) However, I'm finding it hard to go back and forth within an album. Specifically, when I have, say, a FLAC of an album that is 45 minutes long...

When the source material is not the best, or maybe even not all that good, how much does it matter how good the headphones are? Assuming everything else is held constant, assume the following variables: 1) Source Material: Anywhere from 128 mp3, to 320 AAC, to FLAC, to 96khz, to 192khz. 2)...

Greetings. New here as of today. Looking for headphone recommandation for my new AK70 Mark 2 (closed and open). Currently have B&W P5 Mark 2 and HD600. Both sound good, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for even better sound without going to the thousand dollar level...
