Massdrop HD58X , as soon as they become available again. My E17K2 drives it far more than just OK. In fact, my 2017 Samsung cheapo J7 gets adequate volume and impact without amplification.

I'm not sure why you are asking how they sound in this thread, don't you know you are in the bash, whinge, complain and spread conspiracy theories thread? Lol, you think anyone is actually here to talk about how they sound?? Aweosome! But this thread ain't complete until sosolar pops up...

Sounds like a business opportunity to me - start your own EUcentric version of Massdrop. or perhaps vote in a government which doesn't consider each citizen to be a tax asset to be fleeced? Massdrop is a USA based corporation which imports it's products from various countries worldwide at...

Dear God, when I die,please make sure my wife doesn't sell my stereo and fishing gear for what I told her I paid for them....

Lifetime no bs warranty,send it back. I have without any problems or complaints from them.

Easy choice from the low rent side of town https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AI0N2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Why? https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/ All I use because when they can't take another hit, they shut down. Been using them for years...

Thanks for the advice - ordered the E17K today, $100 delivered. Will post impressions after playing with it some.

Yah,that's the crux of the matter,don't know if outsourcing the DAC at this price point will improve the Sonics over the analog headphone out. Then again it's my ears, so if I want to pay the admission for this rabbit hole it's my choice.

I have a Fii o A3 I use from the phone outputs of a 2017 Samsung J7 and a 2017 Kindle HD8, both OTG capable. Will using a DAC from their micro USB be a step up sonically over just an amp from their analog output s? More specifically, the Samsung will plug into my truck head unit while the...

Google NO Audiophile's review of the Vanatoo Transparent Zeros. Might be just what you are looking for.

So here's my take on the Loki after using it all week vs an Audio Control 520B from 1980.Note that I am old school and have always had a quality equalizer in all my systems over the years https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/audio-control/model-520.shtml The 520B was a USA made 5 band EQ...

Oooo yeah baby,food porn! Lovin don't last,cookin do Will post old school EQ vs upstart Loki review manana,been fun ABing these thru various phones and near field speakers this week.

But what's the fun in that? Nobody is more OCD than us vinyl guys - full moon with a dropping barometer ya gotta lower your VTF by .05 gram!

Euphemisms aren't a very filling breakfast. I'll get 2 on the way to the office, eat one early and the other later. Nothing worse than a cold sausage biscuit.

How long ya reckon it'll keep my sausage biscuit warm?

Yes,farenheit. This was the temp on the outside top case,no idea what it reaches inside. Contact me in 2 years and I'll open it up to measure it inside. Ah,first world problems!

I also received mine 2 days ago, all controls perfectly oriented. I was surprised at how warm it seemed so I shot it with my infrared thermometer. It reads 94* consistently whether being driven or not which is 18* warmer than the walls and desk in my office and 14* warmer than the FiiO A3 at my...

Hifima n Edition S is on sale for $129 on Amazon prime, for another $10 you can get a 4 year warranty. I'm tempted to try a pair, fly often enough to justify the purchase (have Senn PX200's for that now) and these might be a interesting alternative to my Senn 558's in my office system. Lots of...

Anyone have info on its headphone output's impedance and power numbers? No specs in its owners manual or anywhere else I've found and B&K is loong gone so no help there. It drives every phone I've plugged into it well but am searching for the specs while waiting for my Magni 3 to arrive.

This place is dangerous....ordered my Loki in today. Will use it just for headphone EQ while my trusty ancient Audio Control handles the speakers EQ.
