You might want to consider upgrading your DAP or opting for the Mojo2 for desktop usage! :D Don't get me wrong, I'm fond of the 900, but at half the price, the 600 seems more reasonable. Unless you're particularly drawn to the 'unique' tuning of the 900, the mainstream tuning and affordability...

If I were you, $1300 = IE600 + a DAP or portable DAC such as Mojo2 :D

how about 16 DACs :beyersmile:

It's my recollection that there's a Sennheiser representative present in this forum. Given the concerning reports regarding customer service experiences in this community, I sincerely hope that they can provide us with valuable insights and solutions to address these issues.

The "Sound Check" feature is the normalization process, in other platforms such as Tidal and Spotify, that feature is named "Normalize Volume". When you use this feature, it tries to "flatten" the loudness between songs, the usual consequence is that almost all songs will be reduced in loudness...

I do not understand this statement, could you explain it to me? Thanks in advance!

For light usage with IEMs, do find that desktop mode may improve the sound by separating the power to a clean power source such as a battery bank?

Totally agree with you, the Colorfly has a meaty sound like a big hamburger, but it is controlled very well, not muffled and dull, and produces an energetic sound with details :D

Looks great, what is that phone?

I have used alcohol wipes to clean my earphones (both universal and custom) for years to disinfect them after use and all of them including resin and metal have not had any damages. Furthermore, it evaporates very quickly, I just need to wait about 10 seconds before storing them in my hard case.

As I remember, Windows automatically installs the appropriate driver when you plug the S2 in, cannot re-check it since I do not own S2 anymore, but all dongles I used are always plug and play without manually installing the driver.

If you want a "hi-fi audio" cable, try some from DDHifi or AudioQuest. Otherwise, I recommend the Anker Flow cable, it has some advantages I found when pairing with DAC/AMP with my laptop: The connectors are firm, well stable connected. The cable is soft and flexible, so I can route it easily...

Why do you need a power button on a non-battery device?

Have not tried the other except the DC03 Pro, I would comment that if comparing to your old BTR5, the DC03 Pro is a little bit more analog, but for the punchier aspect, I do not think it is punchier, and obviously, it is still neutral :D. However, I think that if you want to use it with your...

Even on your Samsung phone, you still can use Apple Music. And of course, Walkman can easily download the application on the Google Play store with flawless working.

Even when the iBasso is out of dated by Android (which is fairly longgg since currently Tidal still supports Android 6), I can use it as an offline DAP. But if I cannot replace the battery (at least by myself), I cannot use the device anymore even it has the newest Android :D

That is my thought too, even if we assume that iBasso does not sell the battery pack themselves. We just need to find another source selling the battery that can easily replace it instead of a combination of finding the battery with a fear of how to replace it. The battery-finding activity is...

I think iBasso will sell it or we can find a similar one on e-commerce markets by its specifications. The key point here is that iBasso intentionally designed it to let users replace it easily without sending it to the service center.

Thanks for your information, it looks great! A future-proof in battery replacement is what I am looking for in the DAP

Thanks, I understand that the back cover is easily removed but I mean how is the battery connected to the main board, is it easy to detach and attach the new battery? If possible, can you take some pictures of it?

has anyone tried to open the back cover to see how easily to replace the battery?

Just received Colorfly CDA-M2 today, after listening A/B for 2 hours with DC04 Pro, I have some reviews: Build quality: the Colorfly easily beats iBasso, it has top-notch build quality, even better than W2 and S2 that I owned before, and it is built like a tank with a solid and premium feel...

MDR-Z1R is an easy-to-drive headphone, so even with an Apple dongle, you still can hear the powerful bass and wide soundstage of Z1R. Obviously, more high-end sources will give you a better experience.
