    Audeze LCD-X

    Hifiman cable is way worse than Audeze. funny part is when I demo-ed the LCD-X they used an aftermarket cable lol (it's that bad!). I know they probably spend enormous budget on the driver technology and need to fit it in pricing, but checking the fact that LCD-MX4 getting the same default cable...

    Audeze LCD-X

    LCD-X gives low-end body/details to thin vocals and instruments makes it more natural and engaging, pretty jarring difference from Arya that makes thin vocal sharper. Also the Dynamics and slam really outclass Arya, it's like being hit by a freight train in LCD-X lol yeah, at first I'm afraid...

    Audeze LCD-X

    Hi everyone, so I bought my lcd X 2 months ago (it is rev 2020) at first 30 hours it really didn't impress me as it felt recessed, dry and veiled as I daily Arya before. Thought to return it but somewhere in 50 hours listening, the sounds changed completely I don't know how, even I used the same...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    All comes to preferences, iem or full-sized. warm, neutral or bright even to your playlists. I demo-ed Qutest before, deciding A90+D90 were better match with my Arya. For me Diablo is worth the asking price (and with Ifi released the GTO filter makes the details, timbre and imaging turned up a...

    Diablo sits within Qutest with different presentation and flavour, while BL and signature are competing with Mojo.

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    For me GTO gives cleaner imaging and separation but makes the vocal holographic (?) UPDATE: After 5 more hours in the GTO, I think the description of GTO filter very much like in the pro idsd review I found at simple google search; "GTO added some muscle and authority, and opened up orchestral...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    the feature got higher score than the sound haha, and I think there're still lot that misunderstand of how the power mode works. Also last point for me is how he mention the sound is cooler and neutral, I have not check out Signature or Neo but Diablo sounded warm to me even with Arya (it's dry...

    Topping stack imo have similar soundsig with Hugo 2, clinical and precise with A90 gives a bit of warmth and dynamic. yet after I listened to Diablo the Topping stack felt too analytical, don't get me wrong they're pretty amazing for their pricepoint. I don't know maybe it just my taste that...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    got 8-9 hours on normal with 12 o'clock volume, charged it when lights on red took like 3ish hours to fully charged. I think as long it don't get really hot it will last (I mistakenly charged it while still on, got reaaally hot) Oh and I got updates 50-ish hours in with Diablo, always use it on...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    for me yes, but it's because I mainly listen to Jpop and Kpop that usually pretty harsh on neutral-bright cans and, with Diablo the clarity and sparkle of the high really turned up so it's fatiguing for long session. However when you listen to live, orchestra, classical, jazz and blues I think...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    I think it would be a good match, as I've friend with Heddphone and RME2, and Diablo is pretty close with RME2 with hint of warmth Got 20 hours-ish of burn in with my Diablo, it seems there's a thin veil in the mids that's not there before or it's my ear have not yet accustomed to the full...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    thank you for the suggestion!, ordered a $20 cable as Ifi Mercury price just ridiculous for me. using diablo from Topping A90+D90 combo for trashy pop song somehow feel more musical and fun. Waaay more convenient even though I'm using LCD-X and Arya I know it's still a bit behind from Hugo 2...

    iFi audio iDSD Diablo - A portable reference done our way!

    Hi everyone, Got my Diablo like just today, noticed that they don't include USB B to A in the package for the iPurifier. Should I just buy a converter or is it better to buy a USB 3.0 A to B to replace the blue oem from ifi? what kind of cable that would be the same quality with Ifi oem blue...
