    Subtonic STORM: Impressions and Discussion

    Thank you for your detailed and thorough response! I do appreciate it and didn’t expect it! I’ve yet to add an end game IEM to my collection that’s BA bass’”ed” - as the ones I’ve tried previously have not really done it for me. If given the chance, I look forward to trying the STORM and...

    Good to know! I have not yet used files other than downloaded as high Res from Apple Music and tidal.

    SONY NW-ZX700

    To those with the American capped version; have you turned the “media volume” setting up to max? It came at half volume on my Japanese variant and before I adjusted it I was very disappointed with the output volume; once I adjusted it I am now able to drive every headphone and IEM I have without...

    ThieAudio Monarch MKII Experience

    Disclaimer: Jumping in without looking back fyi through thread. My thoughts as of now - disclaimer end. I traded mine and have not regretted it. I found them simply boring while quite technically capable. They showed up and presented the sound but without any “heartfelt enthusiasm”...

    "Best" LIGHTNING dongle DAC?

    I’m trying this out right now and so far so good for my mobile IEMs; as of now, the campfire VEGA with the “super Smokey litz”. Better separation, soundstage, and deeper impact than traditional dongle from Alpha & delta or apple dongle thus far while using Lightning to usb c included cable while...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    Hmm. Mine is quite swift. I am able to download songs in background and move about the OS without any signs of lag and even use the browser without much to note of sluggishness. I’ve cleaned and disabled all unnecessary apps though so that might be the reason for the difference.

    The photos I’ve looked up show a silver looking cable? Is this golden or is it the photo?

    SONY NW-ZX700

    As I said, I do not have my wm1 to compare directly to. So I stayed away from direct auditory comparisons and to more readily apparent easily Recalled features such as battery life and ergonomics. I’m assuming your 707 is newer than your am2 yes? If so; Do you suspect that part of the...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    I made no objective claims that the predecesor is inferior to the newly released dap on the basis of sound quality - I did so however, on the basis of ergonomics, user interface responsiveness, and battery life when comparing similar usage styles. And Nor did I assert that Sony has made another...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    It was American (Uncapped). I disabled ALL apps that were non essential and trimmed ALL the bloat. I had even turned off window animations in hope of fighting off the sluggishness of the system - as well as numerous other “hacks”. The battery was trash and just died in real time. The “green”...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    So far I am undoubtedly, extremely happy I returned my WM1AM2 and imported this from Japan instead. Quick side note: the “media Volume” setting, found under “sound settings” affects the “overall volume” and comes set at 50%. The volume switches do not adjust THAT volume setting - if left at...

    Shanling ME900 - Flagship 8-Driver Hybrid IEMs with Titanium Construction

    I’m definitely interested in these. I have a soft spot for dual DD implantation. i would love to compare them, in particular, to the FIIO FH9 and to my Campfire Audio Pathfinder. I’m curious if Shanling will respond to this inquiry: How did y’all determine the appropriate size of the exhaust...

    Subtonic STORM: Impressions and Discussion

    New Sony Walkman NW-A300 Series (Android 12)

    I believe this, and the the others in this new line, offer usb-c audio output straight from internal sd files and streaming correct? If so; what is the power output rating of the USB C port? And then if this is the case: Would it be possible to use a usb c > 4.4 adapter ? Last inquiry -...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    I have this set up fully on my hiby r6 2020 and love it! The best after market eq app I’ve tried yet BY FAR. HOWEVER, compared to the eq offered by Sony on the WM1AM2, which I owned for some time previously, it’s simply not as effective. —- Disclaimer this testing was done with Sony eq system...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    Is this design decision by Sony what allows them to offer a true system wide EQ service, unlike all other major brands? The only other major brand that offers such, that I’m aware of; is hiby and their atrocious “magic 8 ball tuning system”. Power amp EQ works far more effectively on my hiby...

    New Sony Walkman NW-A300 Series (Android 12)

    I initially dismissed this due to the lack of a 4.4mm, as all of my favorite cablea are such. But then I realized this lilDAP def seems a dream for streaming to a Bluetooth adapter (btr7/up5/goblu), or a wireless pair all together while out on the go. Hmm. I thought I had read that Sony was...
