Talking about portability.I'm getting great synergy for the Prestige LTD from the Tempotec V3 DAP. This inexpensive little guy sounds fantastic. It's firmware still needs to be improved a bit but it's already great for the price.

Now,after fw updating it's great...not perfect. The audio file visibility is still not 100% but for a v1.0 it's acceptable i guess. I also had 1 single screen freeze event since the update. Overall amazing value device: fabulous sound quality, built like a tank, simple and intuitive OS and UI...

These iem comparisons might give you a slight idea about the tunning of the other iem if you own one of them.Other than that...i don't know . To me it sounds nothing like the PrestigeLTD.

Very true! I superglued the 3.5mm tip on ... sorted!

Finally a decent video review of the Hype10. I'm quite interested in these as a sidegrade.

Tip : If anyone wants a good and cheap case for their Tempotec V3, the Gameboy Advance SP case ( it has to be the SP version) is a pretty good fit. Ebay has them for around 5-8$.

I've played a bit more with it this evening and i have to say I'm quite impressed with the sound quality. I've compared it to my Topping DX3 pro+ using an a/b input switcher and they were almost indistinguishable. I have to say that the v3 even has slight edge in terms of soundstage over the...

Got my V3 today and first impressions are good.The build quality seems much better than in the pictures. The screen is as good as it needs to be. Just not a big fan of that card slot. I haven't connected it to the internet,i've just thrown some flac files on an microSD card. Out of the 3.5mm...

I'm surprised there is no thread for this great value powerful dac+amp from SMSL. Power output:6000mW of power at 16Ω and 3000mW at 32Ω Some good reviews for it already out:

I love the PrestigeLTD but i wouldn't spend that much on my first IEM . If i were in your shoes I would say get a Kiwi Ears Cadenza(40$!) do some eq'ing comparing the graphs of both and then imagine the PrestigeLTD as sounding similar to the Kiwi Cadenza but with more sub base rumble and...

My budget -midFi ranking. All eq-ed. 1. FiiO FH7 2. Thieaudio Prestige LTD 3. FiiO FH9 4. Letshuoer S12pro 5. Kiwi Quintet 6. Hidizs MP145 7. SoundRhyme DTE900 8. Kiwi Cadenza 9. Truthear Hexa 10. Truthear Zero Red

My KA3 is not recognised anymore by any phone or pc. I've tried 2 usb-c cables both good. However when i connect it to any device(phone,pc) the blue light does light up .

My initial impressions of the MP145 vs S12pro: -MP145 has a bit more bass quantity,bass quality is about the same -MP145 has more refined treble where the S12pro can be sibilant -S12pro has a bit wider and taller soundstage and is a bit more coherent in the midrange of busy tracks. -S12pro's...

A new review for the Prestige LTD https://www.mmorpg.com/hardware-reviews/golden-ears-thieaudio-prestige-ltd-review-2000129932

I've never tried a monarch. From what i've read about the mkIII ,its bass is supposed to be on the wet side with more defined slam while the PrestigeLTD is on the dry side with more texture. Both enveloping but probably in a different way. I love the PrestigeLTD bass, it's a bass flavour I'm...

This planar iems comparison video focused on the S15 and MP145 is really worth a watch:

Wow... that's exactly how i would describe the PrestigeLTD! But after i squeeze a bit more sub base and upper treble with eq... that's the eq sauce i dress most of my iems with. Enveloping ,thumpy and textured bass , upper airy sparkle...all delivered in a deep, well separated , layered...

When i first got my FH7 with the black filters on i was a bit disappointed also,i found it shouty. Once i got the red filters on...bam!...shoutiness totally gone,bass was better also . I find it a monument of coherence, with gorgeous bass and wide and very tall stage,very sharp imaging but...

Again... the FH7 has a really big 13. 6mm berilium plated DD. Despite the fact that it's a hybrid i see it as a super DD iem with its treble and imaging enhanced by 4 BAs. My guess is FiiO was inspired by the z1r when they designed it and it was meant to be a z1r alternative. Its bass is well...

S12PRO vs HE1000Stealth and HE400SE(modded) here: S12PRO has more impactful bass,greater dynamics. The Hifiman's have better and more resolving treble,larger soundstage and greater separation.

Not big into ambiental stuff but i stumbled into this blade-runneresque ambiental jazz piece and i think it's fantastic.

FH7 is my endgame iem as well. I had to try more expensive iems,more praised iem's to realise that. I also agree it's the z1r killer with better midrange ,much better comfort and a very similar big thunderous and fast bass .Just like the FH9 is the Monarch mkIII killer with even better bass...

Just a bit maybe. I have no problem with s12pro's treble quantity but with it's quality... it's a bit glaring/ grainy. I would like it more refined,sparkly .

I'd like a new planar iem even though i love my S12PRO, but i would like one that offers great, well extended treble. I feel like the current planar iems do great bass, great midrange but only decent treble. I'm thinking of a planar+ba hybrid. I know there is Dunu Talos but its bass is...
