AÜR AUDIO IEMs
Yes, the power delivery has to be able to keep up as well, so output impedance doesn't tell the whole story. If a power spec is only given at a higher impedance (32 ohms, as is typical), a lower output impedance means that power is more likely to translate through to lower loads (ie. the power...- statuefiddle

AÜR AUDIO IEMs
Headphone sensitivity and impedance, and how it relates to power, voltage, and current, can be confusing. Lower impedance does not inherently mean a headphone takes less power to drive, but people think that because they don't need as high a volume (gain) setting on the amp to get to the same...- statuefiddle

Tansio Mirai Impressions Thread
I've been listening to the Tansio Mirai TSMR-X for about two months now. I bought them from Penon for $400 USD. I wanted to answer the question: what can IEMs offer in the same price-class as my much-loved Hifiman Ananda headphones. Spoiler: while I had just been mildly interested in IEMs...- statuefiddle

No, just an electronics nerd! 😅 Speaking of Canpur, I'd love to hear a comparison of the Aehta to the CP54e. Is that something you can comment on @Leonarfd ?- statuefiddle

Great impressions, thanks for sharing! I'm curious to know how it compares to some of your favorite BA or BA+EST sets. Which are getting the most of your listening time these days, and how would you say they differ from what you're hearing from the Voltage?- statuefiddle

Looks like the same model number for the dual BC on both (Sonion 37AAX007), a midrange BC with resonance peak at about 2.1 kHz.- statuefiddle

Yeah, I want to highlight this again. The Titan is NOT a dongle kind of IEM, just looking at specs alone. Should definitely be kept in mind for people considering it. The higher efficiency of the Aur (and most other IEMs) is a big plus if you're not already sitting on a beefy (specifically...- statuefiddle

For you @doubletrobbel , who's interested in the Titan, I was also giving it consideration. It's even more difficult to drive at 80 db/mW... seems like a small difference but 3dB of power sensitivity (efficiency) means twice as much, so 100x the power to get the same SPL with the Titan, compared...- statuefiddle

Thanks for sharing! Can you comment on how the Aehta compare in terms of bass reproduction to the others in your collection? I see in your photos that you're experimenting with the 011 switch setup now (mid and treble emphasis). Yeah, the Symphonium stuff seems incredibly difficult to drive...- statuefiddle

Venture Electronics Thread
Thanks for the replys! I'm suprised that my Pixel 6 (a reasonably new flagship phone) can't provide the power. The poco f1 and f4 both have older USB versions (Type-C 2.0, OTG), compared to the Pixel 6 (Type-C 3.1). The (newer) xz3 you mention is also Type-C 3.1, OTG. Anyone had luck driving...- statuefiddle

Having troubles driving Prime DAC just from my phone (Android 14). It will only connect when I also power it externally, but the phone should be able to power it from the data port, right? If I just connect it to my phone, it blinks the green LED but doesn't connect unless I provide external...- statuefiddle

They're probably switching on/off resistors in parallel, so the difference is likely negligible. The lowest activated resistance will dominate: 1xx followed by x1x, and finally xx1, where 000 means open circuit (no resistors connecting the bass drivers to the crossover).- statuefiddle

Would appreciate hearing which of the cheaper cables you find to be the best match, once you've experimented. I know @dharmasteve suggested a $40 copper/silver mix. Interestingly, it looks like the one you just shared a photo of (from the Penon 10th?)...- statuefiddle

Nice! Doesn't the little button on the back make the battery indicator light up to show you what the level is? Interesting that it doesn't sound warm. Do you still feel it gives some tube-ish distortion effects, or is it pretty much like listening to solid state?- statuefiddle

:thumbsup: nice to hear some more critical feedback. Seems like people are advocating a lot of messing about with cables/tips/sources to tame the highs a bit, which corroborates what you're getting at here (and of course to match everyone's own preferences/sensitivities). Do you enjoy the bass...- statuefiddle
