Id be interested at this price. Got any photos?

I need some AMP/DAC advice. I just got my Arya and they sound amazing, but I am currently running them off of a Modi/Magni stack. While they work and the Magni should be putting out enough SE power. I can't help but feel like I am putting regular unleaded into my new super car. Surely it...

When you have the 'high impedance' on it ramps up the power output like high gain. I did not listen at those volume levels under normal operation. Remember the Solaris 2020 are not high impedance devices, you need that dongle/root to trick the LG V30 to put its output in that mode. That power...

Its the Solaris thread so my opinion is specific to that. If you pair the LG V30 with the 2020 or OG Solaris you are holding them back from their peak performance. If however you have any other IEM or headphone you may be totally fine with only the LG. Probably the $500 IEM or lower range? Its a...

Yes it was. Its extremely capable as a DAP and value for money at $160 (used) is insane. But it can not complete with high-end dedicated DAPs. Low to low-mid range daps it may be just as good if not better.

I agree, the stock 3.5 cable with the memory wire was terrible. Using the custom cable I got was much nicer with the OG's. The new 2020's come with a smoky litz without the wire and using it with the OG is very comfortable as well. Lots of people carefully cut out that wire from the silver litz...

So dongle things got here today and I got to try this out. I think you are right it does actually sound better in high impedance mode and more of reference sound. There is more clarity and detail than before. I did not find that the airiness or soundstage was dramatically improved though. I...

Ok sure ill bite, $5 adapter and $5 impedance plug on Amazon. Be here on Sunday. There is no way its going to make up for the holes that I am hearing but it sounds pretty funny, so what the heck lets see what happens.

No EQ and Short. I didn't know about the Andriod 9 thing might look into that if i keep it.

There is no way to turn on high impedance mode on the v30 that i can see. All mentions of it say to buy a dongle to trick it and then plug into that, or to root the phone and do it via a software. You cant just flag it on and off as is. Apparently the v20 you could just by holding down the hifi...

My LG V30 got here a day early. Been playing with it full day now trying stuff out. Honestly I am impressed for $160 it does a very good job as a DAP but it can not complete with the zx300 in terms of detail, soudstange and airiness. Now I didn't expect it to, but you see a lot of people say...

Haha. I will agree the Apple Dongle does sound very good! Better than you would expect for sure! There is nearly no hiss (not none) as well which is impressive. Its not the greatest but its no slouch for sure. The issue is that storage space on a iPhone is expensive. Since I actually use the...

From AndroidAuthority V10 – ESS Sabre 9018 DAC, Sabre 9602 headphone amp V20 – ESS Sabre ES9218 Quad DAC (tuned by LG or B&O Play, depending on the market) V30 and G6 (Asian market G6 only) – ESS Sabre ES9218P Quad DAC (tuned by B&O Play) V40 and G7 – ESS Sabre ES9218P Quad DAC (tuned with...

I got a V30 because i wanted the B&O tuning. Figured maybe they knew better than LG and i think the v30 was the last they partnered on. I have gotten a lot of driver flex with my 2020's since i got them, more than i ever had with the OG's so its something about the design change thats causing it.

Ive heard people talking about the LG Quad Dac phones for like 2 years now. The guy above said it doesn't hiss as well so I took a chance bought a referb one to play around with. I will let it be my dap for streaming apps and farting around with if it lives up to the hype. I will keep the zx300...

Do they hiss with the v30? Also if you think they are good now wait until you burn them in. I learn that the hard way.

Final update on the FiiO M11 Pro and Solaris 2020's. The FiiO is going back to amazon today. I gave it a few days, i played everything i had though it but there were a few issues. Design Choice, As mentioned this is horrible to hold in your hand, super sharp corners and boxy rectangular shape...

How was the hiss with the Solaris?

Just weighed one of mine for you. The 2020 is 6.7g no tip, and I confirmed the 8g using a OG Solaris no tip. Same scale just to make sure it was accurate.

All corners of it feel like I could etch glass with them. I know I sound crazy like surely this guy is just being picky or overreacting but I can't find anything to compare it to. They are raw points of metal like the very tip of a knife. The lower right has that slight inward angle because it's...

I am currently using the stock cable with the m11 pro, no issues at all and sounds fantastic. It is very comfortable and light weight.

Another DAP first impressions for Solaris OG and 2020 owners. The FiiO m11 Pro has horrible ergonomics but sounded great so I took a chance and also bought the HiBy R6 Pro as well, which got here today. Ergonomics on the R6 Pro are amazing, 1000% better than the M11 Pro. Its a joy to hold in...

Sweet Jesus 55 haha, i mean it comes down a bit to album recording as well. But ive spread my listening across maybe 15 albums now and I dont move more than 3-4 up and down. 25-35 at most. LO on the 3.5. Did i mention that the corners on this thing are sharp as ****? I seriously keep touching...

Got the fiio m11 pro in the mail today, it sounds fantastic both out of the 3.5 and 4.4 with the Solaris 2020. I am very impressed, no noticeable issues with soundstage, bass, mids, nothing veiled, or anything weird right out of the box. Going to start to put some major play time into it here...

I didn't find that it helped my OG Solaris at all other than not killing me if I plunged them into a plane or my Vr headset. I basically bought it a year ago because said to get one and it sat in a drawer 98% of the time. It had no benefit over the OG straight into the 4.4 of the zx300. It...
