    Review by 'CardinalBlood' on item 'KZ ZS7'

    I'm still not sure who came up with "earphone" but I digress... For me, these are a great sounding, inexpensive set of IEMs. They are warm and musical with a punch in the mids. I have trouble in the 7kHz range and these compensate marvelously. of course, YMMV, but for the price, you really...

    XDUOO NANO D3 24bit/192Khz DSD256 portable DAP-Info and impressions

    I like the XDUOO Nano D3. I do not understand the sentiment. However,I prefer the Hiby R3 more. I'm probably going to unload the D3 soon just because I do not use it.

    Review by 'CardinalBlood' on item 'KZ ZS7'

    I'm more of a lurker, but every once in a while, I will post something about a set of headphones or IEMs that are worth every penny of their cost. I own headphones and IEMs randing from $9.99 to $1999. While I love the high-end equipment, there is something about IEMs at the low end of the...

    A tale of two Modi 2 Multibits

    I have a horrible ear -- I'm more of a tech head than an audiophile -- but I believe I can detect a slight difference in character. Neither is "bad", just one is warmer (the higher serial number) and the other more analytical (lower serial number). I may pop open the lids and see if I can find...

    A tale of two Modi 2 Multibits

    I own two Modi2 multiibit DACs and they are,well, different. Here are the external differences I've noted : conical rubber feet versus foam disks Brushed pattern, stiff button versus loose button with Connecticut circle pattern. Black USB port versus white USB port 365.5g versus...

    Review by 'CardinalBlood' on item 'KZ ZST'

    I am still new to the audiophile world and the terminology still confuses me. I may or may not develop an "ear", but for me, these IEMs are spectacular when it comes to cost-benefit ratio. You can read technical reviews elsewhere, as well as a detailed explanation of the sound signature. Being...

    Warning about possible compromise to innerfidelity.com

    BTW, check out any site on https://virustotal.com. it is free and gives the findings of up to 70 white hat groups, organizations, and services. I've dealt with to many compromised sites and had to clean up to many messes. (Just in case disclaimer:. I have no formal or informal arrangement...

    Warning about possible compromise to innerfidelity.com

    Nope, just an IT security guy. Only 2 of 67 services "detected" anything. Most likely a false positive, but I meant to give a heads up. I still go to the site, I just take precautions.

    Warning about possible compromise to innerfidelity.com

    This is not to take make assertions of wrongdoing -- I visit the site often, but innerfidelity.com (104.27.146.251) has been identified by Forcepoint Threatseeker and Quttera as "compromised." What this means is that someone has hacked into the website and inserted malicious code. In this...

    XDUOO NANO D3 24bit/192Khz DSD256 portable DAP-Info and impressions

    I like the D3, but I'm still new at DAPs, so I do not have much knowledge to share.

    XDUOO NANO D3 24bit/192Khz DSD256 portable DAP-Info and impressions

    I wonder what percentage of issues are perception and which are objective. There ARE problems with the D3 -- CUE files simply do not work, and I cannot get album art to display -- but I do not seem to experience most of the audio related issues reported by others. I am using firmware 1.3 and...

    Audio connector reference guide

    I have found this before but I have lost the link. Does anyone have a link that lists out the various connectors (1/4" & 6,3mm, 1/8" & 3,5mm, XLR 3-pin, etc.) their various configurations and pin wiring? For example, 3.5mm TRRS wired with mic versus 3.5mm wired for balanced. As I said, I...

    AuricSound S7 DAC/Amp

    I'm a prolific Kickstarter and indiegogo patron. About 75% of tech crowdfunding projects disappear or are so delayed and underwhelming that I have to remind myself never to back anything tech related. I've missed some cool stuff, but when i add in the money I lose on junk or unfulfilled...

    Advise for office set up

    I'm a noob. I freely admit it. And I have been ruined by my first higher end combo of headphones, DAC, and AMP. I have gone over to the dark side and will never turn back. I do not have the vocabulary down yet, but I know what I like and the combo of an Audio-GD R2R 11 and HifiMan He-400i...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hi, my name is Scott and I never thought I would be a headphone addict. three months ago I scoffed at people who paid more than $50 for headphones. Then I decided I wanted to upgrade my gaming headphones. While I was not able to get an ideal set, I learned about magnetic planar headphones...
