    Shanling H7 - High-End Portable DAC/AMP/Player, Featuring new AKM AK4499EX Flagship DAC

    Just as a comment driving IEMs it sounds great, unfortunately it doesnt really have the grunt to drive HE-6SEs even with the gain set to high. Reading the reviews here make it sound like it can easily push planars.... My experience is not so much. Again, great unit, sounds great with buds but...

    Need advice..are IEM's with cable totally dead, or can wireless noise-cancelling iem's compete?

    So I think you have two answers: Wireless Galaxy Pro buds, apple buds etc. These sound like absolute dogcrap to me. Sorry. Then you have high performance buds attached to things like a FIIO UTWS 5. I have UM Mest MkIIIs they sound really good attached to the FIIO, really good. Just bought...

    Unique Melody IEM discussion thread(MEST, MEXT, Mentor, Mason, etc.)

    Just got mest mkIIIs. They are amazing. I hear things all the time i never heard before. They give over the ear planars a run.

    HE6SE vs Meze Lyric - Open vs Closed, is the Meze comparable or better?

    Another interesting Earphone, Hadnt looked at the MEST, had the U12T on the radar........ Thanks for that.... reviews are spread out a bit on it, but generally very positive.

    HE6SE vs Meze Lyric - Open vs Closed, is the Meze comparable or better?

    unfortunately I dont find IEMs giving me the same experience as over the ears...... You made me look at the timeless, great bang for the buck IEM though.

    Meze Liric Closed Back

    Tried a separate thread, but no joy. I have HE6SE phones, but the family doesnt like the leakage. I am wondering how the Mezes would compare as far as soundstange and musicality.

    HE6SE vs Meze Lyric - Open vs Closed, is the Meze comparable or better?

    I have an HS6SE, which I really like. Problem is my family doesn't. I think its cheaper to change headphones than families, at least its more convenient. I dont want to ""Give up" too much, is the Meze close? Soundstage which one? Musicallity? I listen to everything except for HipHop...

    Campfire Audio Multiverse

    I would imagine the the universal supermoon will be sticking around. I like my classic Andros but would consider picking these up used or open box.

    Campfire Audio - SuperMoon

    I like the Andromeda sound. But haven't heard much in that class to be honest. I like a neutral studio type rendering.

    Campfire Audio - SuperMoon

    So let me ask a question. I thought I had lost one of my Campfire Andromeda buds. Was really bummed. I started looking at buying a replacement set and I stumbled accross the Supermoon. Has any Andromeda owner done a comparison? Yes I know Custom versus Universal. But wondering how much...

    BT Aptx Quality out of a Rasp Pi over USB possible?

    OK so I use a Pi as a Roon end point. Works great. Also would like to be able to hit it with Apt X from Amazon music from a phone. Still would like to use a stand alone dac as I don't think any of the hats are up to it. Comments?

    Sennheiser HD 600 (300ohm) portable amp?

    I doubt that anything listed above will push your phones. I have a Hip DAC2 and cables for my Hifiman HE6SEV2s...... I just upgraded my Geshelli V1 to a V2 (2 watts per channel and it marginally pushes them). There is a difference between sound coming out, and driving a headphone properly...

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    So to circle back on my Andromeda post. I found for me, audio IEMNirvana. I bought an ifi Hip Dac 2, and changed to balanced drive on my Andromedas. All I can say is that going balanced with plenty of power on those iems was 10x the difference of going balanced on my full sized cans. I am...

    HifiMan HE6 V2 Adorama

    My HE-6's arrived yesterday. Unfortunately my rig wont drive them properly. Its a Soncoz SGD-1 feeding a Geshelli Erish V1. This was perfectly adequate for the HE-X V1s that this is replacing, but it cant handle the 6's. I cant find a spec sheet on the V1. The V2 Erish is 2 watts, anyone...

    Is the HifiMan HE-6SE an upgrade over an HE-K V1?

    I knew it was on closeout sale or whatever its called.. Surprised to here on the Arya mids because of the infamous hole..... Thanks for the input will see if I get any other thoughts. How is the soundstage between the two?

    Is the HifiMan HE-6SE an upgrade over an HE-K V1?

    As an HE-K V1 owner wondering how much of an upgrade the HE-6SE would be if at all. I listen to all kinds of music, and a headphone that doesnt color the sound is ideal, I am looking for less leakage as well. From what I have read many prefer the 6SE over the Arya for Technical performance...

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    I have a pair of Andromedas about 4 years old so not the 2020s..... I like them alot but periodically wonder if there is something that much better out there for under 2k.... Do the Senns or MESTs MkIIs blow these away or is it as I suspect incremental. If I had to fault anything on the Andros...
