    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Sad in a sense that other nice gears don't get used anymore. But yeah, it will come to that eventually. Been selling off my rarely used IEMs these past few months and will continue to do so. Probably will hang on to my A18t cause it's hard to sell CIEMs here and I just bought Code 51 for it anyway.

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    Tbh, I feel the same about the fit. I used to have a U18t before I converted it to the A18t, but I find that U18t's somehow smaller (or shallower?) shell is a nice fit for a UIEM. At that time, I also have a Trio, which shares the same case design as the Noir, and I always find that it sticks...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    I'm going to say... it's Noir, but amplified. Everything I like about the Noir, the Thummim got it, but adds a bit more. Maybe it's the spherical soundstage thing that's being mentioned all the time? I don't know if it's placebo or whatever effect but that's how I feel about this 2 right now...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    It's a bit sad to admit that for the past few weeks, ever since I got my hands on this Thummim demo unit, it is all I want to use to listen music to. The sound is really addictive! (Most of my listening is done with the TA. Too lazy to take out my DAPs.) I haven't even pair it together with my...

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    Yup, most recent and *hopefully* last one for a while now :D Oh DMZ and Diana Phi is endgame for sure. I think it's @HiFiGuy528 endgame too. I'll be honest... when I demoed Phi for the first time, the fit feels weird. Comfortable but weird. But when I own it and use it daily, it disappeared...

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    During burn in period (as I posted before in this thread), I don't really like how it pairs with Diana Phi. Seems pretty far away from the magical combination with the DMP. Now that I've had my TA burn in for a week straight, I start to notice the difference. Let's just say it's prettttyyy...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    I was in this situation not too long ago. But being a Sony fanboi, of course I ended up with the ZH1ES. Having all the different output ports is just a bonus for me when looking for a proper desktop amp. It’s really good for IEMs too I must say. No hissing with any IEMs that I own. In fact...

    flinkenick's 17 Flagship IEM Shootout Thread (and general high-end portable audio discussion)

    I had been content with what I have for quite a while now, and I even sold some stuff that I rarely use. I thought I was safe for the foreseeable future... Enter this thread. I had never checked this thread before. I usually spend my time in the forums just going to threads that I have posted...

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    Spent a lot of time yesterday with the MDR (with Axios Cu) and the TA. I might be imagining things here, but I genuinely think the MDR sounds INCREDIBLE with TA. I tried the MDR a lot with DMP in the past but I don't find it engaging which is why my MDR has been hanging in the stand for a...

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    Been burning in my TA for almost 24 hours now while still listening to music with it along the way. Currently using my A18t + Code 51 on it. TA itself is upgraded with Kimber PK14 Ascent power cable and Kimber USB CU. DSD Remastering is on the whole time. Everything else off. I have to say I...

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    Just placed an order for the TA. Should arrive by end of the month hopefully. Can’t wait! Now to order the Kimber USB as well. Is there any recommended optical cable for it as well? I have this UK brand one I forgot what it’s called. Not so expensive but not that cheap either.

    Where can I find this setting in Windows?

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    This will mainly live alongside my Windows machine so I can use it with optical too I guess. I asked about USB because I was gonna get Kimber USB for it as well :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    I’ve always had my eyes on the TA for a while now and even after buying every other Sony high end stuff, I kept thinking about the TA. This past week, my eyes were somehow set on this thread every time there’s a new post so I’ve been reading a bit. Now I think I’m ready to pull the trigger on...

    Introducing Final latest flagship IEM A8000 featuring Truly Pure Beryllium Dynamic Driver

    Just got mine today. I braved myself buying this without ever seeing it in person. The thing I worry about the most is the fit. Asked around in this forum and I think it was @Jalo who said it is smaller than both IER Z1R and FW10000, both of which I own. Another thing is that on some reviews I...

    Modifying WM1Z/A

    Ahh my bad. So the only option for the DMP is just to change region to J right?

    Modifying WM1Z/A

    Doing this right now to my 1Z. Changed region to J and using the Jupiter Tier 2 fw. If it blows my mind, I will do the same thing to my DMP. Just curious @Whitigir, which fw is the best for the DMP according to you? Jupiter Tier 2 as well?

    iFi audio's worst kept secret: the hip-dac!

    nvm. I assumed drivers are installed as soon as I plugged in the hip dac but it turns out I have to install it manually.

    The Altmann Tera Player - Thread

    I have tried it multiple times before in the past, but not with TP. Fourtre sound signature is not for me though as I found it a bit too bright for my taste.
