Hiby R6 2020 Low Line Out Level
Hi Guys My R6 2020 using the unbalanced LO mode is significantly lower in volume than my original R5 in LO mode, used in a 2 channel stereo setup. Could this be normal based on specs? Both are also less powerful than my old Pio XDP-30. Thanks for any input. bob- steelgtr

Hiby R6 or Sony NW-ZX507

Klipsch S4 Reference: Opinions/Reviews ?
I found these on sale for $54.50/shipped. I'm looking for natural punchy bass and smooth highs. The $7.00 Monoprice IEM's didn't live up to the hype for me (at any price) Will I be happy with these or are there other $50 IEM's that would fit my needs? thx bob- steelgtr
