I picked up the 660S2 on sale for $399, which seemed like a nice promotion, and it gives me all the things I like about the 6 series. It was good enough that I sold my trusty HD650, no regrets. Very happy with these, particularly when discounted from MSRP.

Got the new angled alcantara pads on the Elite the other day, love them! My favorite pads for them. Comfort is perfect for me, and the soundstage and bass are a bit better than the regular alcantara pads I had been using.

Part of the fun is trying new things, different flavors, but there was a point where I had so many headphones and amps and other gear that it was a chore just to decide what to listen to. Like a paralysis of choice. I realized that after a while, when the thrill of new stuff wore off, that I was...

If it's my only can then comfort would be as important as performance. I'd be tempted to say the Elite since for my head it's incredibly comfortable and is a great all-around performer with no terrible/glaring weakness.

My old Fiio M11 handled my entire library with no problem, I just don’t want another android based unit. I do not feel like having to split up my library and decide what can fit and what can’t.

Thx. Yep, I have about 45k songs at this point (all properly tagged) and I know that some players apparently have a hard limit. For example a few models are 20,000 song limit, so presumably at 20,001 that last song never even gets read? Not sure how it works on the RS2. I love the overall specs...

Still trying to confirm this - can anyone verify that the RS2 with the latest firmware can handle 50,000 songs now? I really do not want another android based DAP but most of the smaller non-android based ones are song-limited. Some of the lower Shanling and Hiby models for example can only do...

Any chance that this will be updated to allow more than the current 20,000 song limit? Love the form factor so much, just wish it could handle more songs.

Really keen on getting this unit - can anyone confirm that the song limit is now 50,000 after the newest firmware? And does anyone use this with a large library that can comment on how snappy the UI is? I am approaching 50k songs and that could be a deal breaker for me, especially if it is...

Thanks, but looks like the AP80 PRO-X still has a 20,000 song limit. :(

I also have mild tinnitus, and I would think that most any headphone can be an option for you and satisfying at relatively low levels if you like the general sound signature of it. You might want to consider a source that has loudness contours or EQ options to help so that even at low levels you...

I have an older Fiio M11 that I really like. I mostly use my larger desktop/home setup, but the DAP is convenient when traveling. But the M11 is simply too chunky. I want to upgrade and really like the tiny form factor of things like the newer Hiby R3 ii and the Shanling M1s. However, despite...

I've been a fully over-ear headphone user for ages. Can't tolerate on-ear headphones. But I got my first IEM recently to dip my toes into it. I got the Truthear x Crinacle ZERO: RED based on positive reviews and fact that it was really low risk investment into the IEM world. Wow, what a...

And I'm in the process or relocating there. :)

I've been intrigued by this unit, but one thing I'm hoping someone can confirm - can you sort your music by "Album Artist"? I prefer this much more to the usual "Artist" sorting (one of the reasons I like DBPoweramp app on my Fiio portable. Thx!

Wish I could be there this weekend. Excited to see more info on the R9!

Nice improvements. Also, curious about the 11 o’clock recommendation? The info says: “A Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co. (TOCOS) multi-track potentiometer is used. This has close channel matching tolerance for optimal performance“… this sounds like a nice improvement over the first version, so...

I've had my G108 for about 2 weeks, it's a very nice little unit. I have it connected to my keyboard/music production corner and it does exactly what I hoped. Super clean, potent, and neutral signature. It's pretty compact and build quality is high. I adjusted the dip switches internally to...

Well, a couple days with this thing thought I'd report back. It is a cool unit, but I am constantly having wifi issues. It's not my network, all my other devices are fine. Running lastest software/firmware. It is a nice sounding unit, but the wifi stuff really impacts the usefulness. And the...

Still having fun with the unit overall, but the DLNA appears to be broken. I can stream to the ca1000 with my music server, but it will cut off the last few seconds of the tracks and can't handle gapless via UPNP (apparently gapless is only for the files actually ON the AK?). I know this is a...

OK! The little AK brick has arrived today and I've been playing with it for a couple hours. I thought I'd share some initial impressions. First, the unit looks fantastic in person and has a great build quality. It feel premium and looks it too. Weight is substantial enough to impart that sense...

My CA1000 should be here soon, excited to play around with this! Does anyone know if you are able to select how to view/sort your files by their tags? My music is all properly tagged by "album artist" (versus "artist")? I know in my older Fiio M11 running the poweramp player I could do this, so...

Great communication and easy transaction. Highly recommended member, A+++

Still enjoying my Elite, though I've not entirely settled on pad preferences. The hybrid pads are too shallow for my ears and get uncomfortable after about 30 min for me. The alcantara solves comfort 100%. I find the alcantara a brighter sounding pad which I like, but at the expense of some...
