    Aful Performer Impressions Thread

    I just double-checked.Connected the Mojo 2 to my MacBook as well as my Samsung S22 Ultra using the ddHifi 09 Nyx cable (the one with separated/isolated data and power strands (though that should be irrelevant as the USB C in on Mojo is data only). I tried: MacBook: USB C connections left and...

    Aful Performer Impressions Thread

    I believe it is not release yet. In one if the CanJam (London?) videos online, someone mentioned it briefly and that it sounded promising.

    Aful Performer Impressions Thread

    @lowrider007 There is even a small but noticle change in sound, depending on how I connect them: The DUNU Hulk cable has interchangeable connectors. There is a difference between using the 3.5 straight into the Mojo or going 4.4 + ddHifi Nyx adapter... I believe the adapter is adding some...

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    This is what I am rocking these days for on-the-go: - AFUL Performer 8 - Chord Mojo 2 (Crossfeed on, DSP Shelf: 3kHZ +2dB and 20kHZ - 2dB to compensate for the iem's dip at 4k) - Xduoo Xd-05BL BT receiver (LDAC/digital coax) Sound so natural, that I constantly drift away. Really hard to...

    Got myself a pair of Performer 8 and I'm pairing them with a Mojo 2/Xduoo Xd-05BL for on-the-go. They sound great. I was pretty positively surprised when I first tried the. They punch way above their price of ca. USD 360 I paid on Ali. Please be aware these IEMs are really sensitive to the...

    New Oriolus Stack - BD20 DAC, BA20 AMP, SE02 EQ, 1795 BT Receiver and more...

    Congrats! Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do :) I do not want to miss the BA300S anymore. It is a must when listening to my ZMF VC with the "portable" rig. All my Oriolus products came with the same 4.4 to 4.4 cables, those that have the wooden connector (African custom ebony plug). Edit...

    Hi Roland68, Sorry for my late reply, was a busy week... Following my strategy of having separate components for my (trans)portable rig, I searched for a device with straight digital output. The X10Tii is a pure digital transport, it is not a DAP, it has no connector for headphones nor a...

    Hi Caithang, Are these yours? If yes, how is the sonic difference. I know the Mojo is more of a DAC with high output and the BA20 is just an amp. But still, any noticable differences? Weight, sound, haptic, etc... I am asking myself, if Oriolus stopped the production completely or if there will...

    Oh, wow! Didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Well, here in Europe Oriolus is pretty unknown. And such info is not readily available. On Aliexpress you can still buy the BD20 and BA20. Maybe there will be a sweet discount soon ;)) From the post you linked above, it is not clear if and when...

    Maybe one last thing to add: The Oriolus stack sound pretty neutral and unbiased. There is no coloration and the music is just presented as-is. Badly recorded Rock from the 80s, will just sound like that: bad. Trying to listen to Aerosmith on some Beyers with the BA/BD20 combo is nearly...

    Hi EarFool, Better in what way? In which category? Oriolus has some single selling points and great qualities for sure. Here's a mini review and some thoughts, hope it helps. TLDR: Personally I would say yes. The Oriolus stack is a great choice in the transportable category under 2k, period...

    Yes, this is only a DAC. It is to be paired with the BA20 Amp or any other amp of your choice. It has a fully balanced 4.4 output as well as 3.5 out. It has USB C or S/PDIF mini input. The BA20 amp has a 3.5 and 4.4 inputs and outputs. I connect the whole stack via 4.4 only. The BD20 can do...

    I will check this tomorrow and let you know. As far as I can remember it was pretty black; no background hiss or noise. I'll keep you updated.

    Comment by 'ATOZ' in item 'Kinera Baldr'

    Has no one tried these yet? There is only a handful of articles/unboxings on the net. Hard to believe that not a single person bought a pair... Trying to decide between these and the Voyager 14 as my next iem. Zeos unboxed a pair last year, but hasn't reviewed them yet. Hard to buy them unheard...

    No problem, just let me know if you have any further questions on the SE02 - which btw. states "Model: OA005" on the front plate. Unfortunately I did not have time yet to thoroughly listen to the stack (whole day only meetings), but I managed to do a quick test with & without the SE02...

    Yeah, I thought: no risk, no fun. And from the very few reviews I found online, it looked as if it was a pretty safe decision sound quality wise. Some japanese review was talking about "The path of the king" or so. That sounded as they meant it was high-quality :beyersmile: It is cool to be able...

    @gr8soundz The SE02 should be a great and easy way to check what kind of sound signature you like and tweak your IEMs/Headphones to your liking without the need of digital interface. I really love this analogue EQ! Frequency sliders are unfortunately not locked/linked to each other. L & R are...

    Good point; there were sticky pads included with each of the components. Will maybe use them. Depending on the transport case I will ultimately buy, I want to keep the components separated. Those sticky pads can be pretty pesky and make it difficult to quickly separate the stack. Also I stuck...

    I noticed the humm using BD20 and BA20 only. They were connected with the provided USB C to C and pentacon. The humm was there only in the first minutes of ever turning them on. I will check again. Maybe also caused by the MBP and its full metal casing; hard to avoid touching that! Thanks for...

    I only tried the BA300S briefly this evening (might need a few hours to develop its full potential) but from what I heard it is a very clean sounding tube amp. It definitely does something to the sound compared to the BA20, but it is nowhere as gritty or "tuby" as the SMSL SP100 I have. I...

    Hi everyone, This is my first post on head-fi, though I am a long-time passive reader of the forum. A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for a new transportable dac/amp solution. My choice fell on the iFi Signature as it seemed to be the most "do-it-all" keeping lot's of options open for the...
