    DC, NOVA, MD | August 27 [DATE CHANGE]

    I'll be there, although I'll be quite busy tomorrow with back-to-school season for my kids. So I might show up a little late and/or leave a little early to manage other things. I just packed my stuff and will bring Headphone: Abyss 1266 TC, Focal Utopia (2020) (And maybe Susvara, although I...

    DC, NOVA, MD | August 27 [DATE CHANGE]

    ooh tube amps... always love to try those. Although looking up the spec, those output power probably isn't strong enough to power the likes of Susvara right? Anyone bringing more powerful amps? at least 2w, but preferably 4w++ If so I can bring hard to drive HP like Susvara or Abyss TC...

    Just moved to DC/MD area recently, found this thread. I am going to try to attend this meet, would be my first time attending meet. Any list of gear people are bringing? I have a lot of stuff but I can't possibly bring all or most of them. If I can see what others are bringing, I can...

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    Missed you by a day. I was there Wednesday evening, right after it arrived. I had EVO with me but didn't try it. I will try EVO next time I go in. I tried it with Jewel, Odin, and phonex. Odin and Jewel are bright and based on your impression, they may not have been the best fit with N8ii...

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    Oh boy a lot of discussion on N8ii the past 48 hours. This is awesome. I tried it for like 2 hours at Zep when it arrived earlier last week. When I tried it it was just unboxed, and only run in for a few hours, not fully burn in. I'm not good at explaning, but N8ii doesn't sound like C9. I...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    Hmm... Interesting observation. I also tried this cable with Jewel (and a few other IEM), and comparing it with Centurion and Horus X also, last Friday at EA's office. My observation is largely align with you, Horus X being brightest and less detailed, Centurion most detailed and refine, and...

    Elysian Acoustic Labs “X” Flagship IEM Discussion Thread

    I love Odin, but also recently got the X and find it also excellent, so I agree with this recommendation if you feel like you have trouble loving Odin. X might be up your alley because it does treble extremely well yet not as sharp around the edges treble wise as Odin. (Not a diss on Odin, I...

    HiBy RS6 Android DAP - Snapdragon 660, 4+64GB, 5” full HD, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 16x, copper chassis

    I tried RS6 at Zep for 20 minutes earlier today, didn't have much time, but I happened to be using Erlkonig today, so that's what gets trialed. Here's my quick impression from first time hearing RS6 on Erlkonig Comparing with SP2k Cu (that's what I was using today) - RS6 perform surprisingly...

    Yeah, Evo is like Odin with slightly less detail/hot upper mids, and +15db bass, lol

    Effect Audio cables thread

    I have several EA cables on conx (and plan to reterminate some other non-EA cable to conx once I stop being lazy and drop by EA office) I don't notice any sound degradation, the EA cables perform superbly compare to other competing brands. That said, conx is not without issue, especially with...

    Craft Ears Reviews/Impressions Thread

    Agreed with the comments in this thread. Aurum is excellent iem, very strong bass presence, extremely airy and what I love the most is its treble energy, smooth but a lot of energy, not shouty or overwhelming. I am not surprise I see comparison witb Traillii. I still think Traillii is more...

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.

    Picked mine up earlier today, spent a few hours listening on it today. Compared it with a few of my DAP, huge step up from DX300, arguably better than N6ii-Ti R01 too. Have yet to pit it up against N8, SP2k, and WM1Z, maybe tomorrow. Definitely sounds good, will also try and do a double brick...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    I tried centurion with A18t, it is superb pairing indeed. Enough teasing though, when is my order shipping? My order must be among if not the first! I order it almost a month before public announcement, still waiting!!! Can't wait to get it!

    You're the pro here. I agree with you. I separately got to tried traillii yesterday, immediately was curious how Centurion pair with trailii. Looking forward to your review.

    Effect Audio cables thread

    I'd say among all that I tried, it paired well with them in different way, but taste definitely comes into play here. With Odin and Elysium, it extends the top range, brought forward mids and make it sweeter and more memorable. I still remember the feeling I immediately had hearing it. With...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    Maybe now that it is announced I can talk about it. I tried it for a couple hours at EA HQ, I am no reviewer and not that good at explaning sound/equipment. I find Centurion to be very different cable than others that I have. The sound difference is immediately noticable. Soundstage and detail...

    Effect Audio cables thread

    Ier z1r is generally tighter than other mmcx iem. But it fits and works fine. My remark on it was merely that I had my code51 on it and woery I might break a super expensive cable, lol, it is tight, that is for sure, but it works. It is like that for all of my mmcx cable, tight for all of them.
