Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp
I purchased my RU7 a couple months ago. Took them on a 3 week trip with me. Been using them from time to time since then. Been very satisfied with it. Better sounding cpmpared to ny Questyle M15 to my ears. Only issue I have is it needs a lot of power. Once my iphone battery level hits 80%...- akukula

Ferrum WANDLA - Impressions Thread
So I am still using fw 1.2. Thankfully never updated to 1.3 which I found out is unstable. Seems they now have the 1.4. Anyone updated to the latest fw? Any good? Whats the difference between this latest fw and 1.2? Thanks- akukula

Dang. Never experienced this with my Questyle M15. Guess I might be too hard on my iPhone what will all the listening and charging. And its not even 2 years old. Time to upgrade to the 16 when it comes out 😂 Thank u- akukula

Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp
Totally enjoying my RU7. Except for one issue. For some strange reason once my iphone 14 pro max battery hits 70% and below the RU7 seems to stop working? I mean it still lights up. I can still toggle the menu, even adjust the volume, but no music/audio/sound comes out of the IEM. I have...- akukula

Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.
A long time ago I decided I am more of a full sized planar open headphone type of person. So I built up my system that way. Currently I have a Hifiman Susvara and ABYSS MR and around it a stack of Ferrum and WA7 Gen 3 Fireflies mated to a Musician R2R DAC. Sure I have a Sony DAP and a...- akukula

Thank you but I have decideda DAP is not for me. I have a Sony WM1AM2 and although it is excellent I barely get to use it. Had it last summer and since then all I got from it is prolly 10 hour of use. I just find carrying a phone and a DAP too much. I will keep my dongle 😊- akukula

Thank you. I do have the Sony WM1AM2 DAP. Or should I get the Cayin RU7? What cable are u using btw? I didnt get the PW cable that comes with the Mk3 after reading how ergonomically bad it is.- akukula

Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.
So I will be taking a long flight next week and decided to splurge a little on new IEMs. Placed an order today for the Mest Mk3. Currently I have ie900 and Aur Neon Pro for trips. Also have Sony WM1AM2 and Questyle M15 dongle. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with synergy using...- akukula

New from Woo Audio - WA7 Fireflies (3rd Gen)
I find it strange you having a hum. I have paired my WA7 with 800s, Focal Clears MG, ABYSS MR and never had any hum. Only slight hum with sensitive IEMs that hoes away when I start playing music.- akukula

I stack them all up. Last summer they do get noticeably warm but nothing too extreme. Now that its winter its barely warm to the touch even after a few hours of use- akukula

If you mean soundstage then yes. My Susvara has a bigger soundstage. The HD800s even bigger. The MR is more intimate imho- akukula

Iirc I believe someone posted here sometime back that you can actually run the WANDLA for both the OOR and another amp with no issues. The WA23 uses the RCA interconnect so will have no issues with the OOR i think- akukula

I have the Ferrum stack. Contemplating on the WA23 myself. Waiting to have a demo during CanJam here in NYC in a few weeks to make a decision. I do have tube amps, the WA7 Fireflies 3. Tubes will sound different from SS, even more so with the WA23 bec of its output which will make it sound...- akukula

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
I have the same conclusion. I have the M15 but only use it for IEM. It is for convenience being that this dongle is small. I have mentioned this before. The MR scales up really well. The MR imho actually needs more power if it is to perform to its potential. Sure the M15 can power it up...- akukula

Using the Woo i mostly have my volume level anywhere from 2-4 depending on which album i am listening to. This is fairly normal. Imho MR needs more power as compared to my other headphones- akukula

Woo Audio WA23.....
Ikr. Its really sad lol. I remember when I started it was sennheiser headphone for a few hundred bucks. I remember laughing at those who spend over 1k for headphones. Within a few months I added more until I ended up with a HE1k Stealth. I declared this will be my endgame. Now I have a...- akukula
