I've ordered the ISN Neo 5 at $214.30 and, although tax are not included, I think it's a good price.

KA17 V1.16 firmware changes are as follows: Updated at 2024-04-22 1. Optimize the problem that the volume becomes smaller when EQ is turned on; 2. Optimize the problem of no output when selecting 32-bit deep playback in exclusive mode after turning on EQ; 3. Optimize the issue of not being able...

Months are passing by and I still can't find anything about SR4... is it possible that no one has done a review anywhere since the January launch? Is it because it sucks or is it a rare gem not to be revealed?! :space_invader:

In the meantime, you can even order a power bank like this, which is also including a USB-C port for recharging when in use, to always have your KA17 powered. I hope that also FiiO will consider this feature and build a power bank with 5.000mAh.

I consider the KA17 exceptional for the huge advantage of not draining my smartphone's battery when I'm in office (obviously if connected to a power bank). Then the output power as a real DAC/AMP and quality of the sound, absolutely noticeable, unlike that rip-off of the Cayin RU6... I had the...

It's a 4.4 balanced cable, but I tested also 3.5 SE and there was even much background noise... It can be completely solved with a power bank. I ordered a nice Remax 5.000mAh with direct plug on AE, but I'll receive it in 1 month (hopefully). So, I'm currently using the power bank that I already...

After several tests to understand the reason for strong EMI noise when the KA17 is current powered, I found that the problem lies in the structure of the Shozy P20, which is an all-metal planar IEM. I tried all possible tests, even changing the cables (the data cable is the ddHiFi TC09S so the...

Can I ask you if, considering the latest changes to the firmware, does it actually make sense to update or not the KA17?

I'm so in line with every single word. I was torn about taking another planar after my P1 Max, to pair with the power of the FiiO KA17. Eventually, due to the reasons you mentioned, I wanted to give a chance to the incoming Shozy P20. I hope I won't be disappointed.

For price trends on AE, take some help from AliPrice Tracker. I use it as a Chrome extension, so I can rate each item. At least you will find out if there is a price surge, or if there is actually a more or less valid discount.

I'm waiting for my KA17 to be delivered, anyway I was reading the firmware upgrade instructions and it's not very clear to me: "2. Connect KA17 to the Windows computer" ... "6. When "Firmware upgrade finished successfully" appears, you can unplug KA17 and then connect the USB cable. At...

For a human being, certainly. But for electronic stuff, I'd say you should start worrying around 100°C and above...

Unlike others, I can only write good things about Kiwi Ears Forteza. True, this is a set with pronounced highs, but it also has excellent bass and midbass, a classic V shape that works well with indie, alternative and hard rock. I equalized it a little with the Qudelix 5K and the result is...

They seem perfect for listening to music in church. I think they will be a hit in the Vatican.

"Seize the First Batch of VE10 Before They Are Gone" Quite presumptuous... as if there were a queue of customers out there ready to kill themselves for this KZ clone at this very convenient price. And now I'm expecting: "Ordered!" "Waiting for the DHL!" "Got 2 also for my grandma!"

One of the most generous, helpful, friendly and simply amazing human being I've ever met (unfortunately not in person). Thank you so much!

In Italian the word "BiDong" remembers the bin (rubbish) or when you say that someone has given you a "bidone" which means a rip-off. Promising like Aful or Schiit! :ksc75smile:

Not a big fan of Sennheiser, but at least the HE-1 is an absolute audiophile reference, with top-level components and writes a piece of history... Shanling CD-T35 looks like a damn floor cleaning robot! If the poor one-kidneyless guy leaves it plugged in on the floor (not being able to lift it...

I'm so glad you wrote this post in favour of the Aoshida E20... after Monk I also found them exceptional for the price. I plugged them with a 2.5mm balanced cable to my Qudelix 5K and equalized with the app: they are energetic, fast, spacious, with detailed highs (eq. them avoids any sibilance)...

It's very odd that Fosi built this nice vintage BT amp without considering the best audio codecs, but only SBC and AAC... it makes no sense, even my older T20 has at least aptX-HD. Very good review though.

I think it is a more than legitimate request that we should all follow. And I imagine that, for example, if Redcarmoose put his mileage signature in a spoiler, this thread would be reduced to about 3000 pages LOL.

I apologize to anyone I may have disturbed with my personal thoughts. My intention was to ask for explanations to my doubts (despite I am still interested in purchasing the OD200, thank you Ace Bee for the confirmation) and not to pass judgment or speak badly of some IEMs. Now I know to take the...

So, you rely exclusively on the phrasing and philosophizing of written reviews? A little restrictive I would say. Or do you buy them all to decide? Not everyone has infinite financial resources. In any case I tried to express my point of view in a constructive way. You were quite presumptuous...

Can anyone explain why the Orivieti OD200 sounds so strange, muffled, far and muddy, lacking midrange and technicalities in this sound demo? Just compare it to any other IEM in the demo list on the right... it's heartbreaking and definitely at odds with the rampant hype-train that's taking...

Fair enough! I have noticed that I practically always agree with what you write and therefore it will be interesting to know your impressions when you'll receive it. Which IEM would you mostly pair it with? I imagine something that has blue in it... but that's not necessarily the case.
