I need your thoughts on the below. I bought a brand new AP80 Pro-X recently. I love the design, the small form factor, and the tone are to my liking. Great. Thank you for the rec @pbui44 . However, after playing with the AP80 Pro-X for a couple of days I uncovered a problem. When playing DSD...

AP80 Pro-X arrived today. Very happy with size and sound quality. My 64Audio N8 sound awesome. Thank you for this recommendation. Spot on.

Thank you @pbui44. This ticks all the boxes and some more. What is the sound like?

Hey guys, I need your help choosing a DAP that ticks the following boxes: 1. Portability (I need to listen to my hi-res files while jogging) 2. File compatibility up to 384kHz (playing DSD is an added bonus, however, not required) 3. Good quality sound (currently I listen to SONY WM1Z and love...

Is anyone interested in buying my Penon Totem? Bought in December 2020. I need to cut down on cables :)

Do you use 64Audio's vac? I have that and I find it completely useless. No suction at all. Not worth sending it back to them due to costs back and forth to the UK. Not a happy bunny with this vac :(

Just enjoying the music, gazing at life, thinking... :) One of my best blind buys ever!!! Thank you @davidmolliere. P.S. Bass on the Volt is very pleasing, easily camparable with TOTL IEMs.

Hi everyone, I am new to the world of DAPs. I was happily using my iPhone and Hugo TT2 until my recent jump on the 1Z bandwagon :) I have a question about the 3.5mm output. I noticed it is warmer (bassier) than the balanced output. Is this normal? I read here that most people prefer the 4.4mm...

@doctorjuggles makes great cables, I am sure he will able to help

I have been enjoying listening to my Volt for a week now. I was going to post some initial impressions later in the month but... something weird happened today. When I put the earphones in my ears today I noticed an annoying buzzing noise in the right monitor. The noise was louder and more...

Sure. Here you go.

To be honest I couldn't tell. Final result is impressive indeed. Well done!

Beautiful bokeh! Was that taken with a Leica 50mm Noctilux f/0.95?

Nice IEMs and great pics too. Excuse the (probably) silly question. I noticed that many people snap their IEMs without the cables attached to them. Do you disconnect the cable when you are not using the monitors? Is this how you are supposed to keep them when not in use?

This is great. Do you use a vac to clean yours or just the wire tool?

My custom Volt is ready to be shipped. I asked the guys at Penon to send me a photo and here it is. What a beauty :) @davidmolliere, can you tell me if there is a mesh guard to protect the electronics from ear wax? I don't think I can't see it in the photo.

Not sure if this will help but I had a clicking noise in my headphones recently. The culprit turned out to be the BitPerfect app on my Mac. I switched it off and noise disappeared.

I received their Totem flagship cable a couple of weeks ago and have been using it with my A18s. Brilliant pairing, according to my non-tiger ears :). Only downside to me so far is the lack of IPX on the Totem and it's weight/thickness. I hope it brings the best out of the Volt.

I am waiting for my custom Volt to arrive soon. I will submit my impressions once I get it. I am not an expert in describing what I hear but I will try to the best of my ability.
