Are these for sale or just prototypes?

I now have the EDC3. What kinds of improvements can be heard when comparing it against the MD+?

If I get the chance, I'd try that out :)

The place I audition was pretty quiet. Almost like library quiet (and lets not talk about some libraries are more noisy than some) so the environment I was in was pretty ideal. The FH5s fit pretty well too, taking these 2 conditions I can say listening condition was pretty good. I guess when I...

Had a chance to try the FH5. On classical, vocal, jazz music that I played, there's always so much midrange all the way to upp midrange, its just isn't a balance sound. there's much clarity though. I wonder why didn't the DD do some magic into the midrange, and there's so much emphasis on the...

Never felt my IT04s dry. I fit them with Acoustune 07 tips and I drove them with Schitt gear,

Where to try them in Singapore

You can include massdrop EDC3 n ibasso IT01 in ur consideration too ? I found the latter having a fun bass line, but more than what I like in terms of quantity. EDC has a more balanced sound. Both have slight warmth in their tone. Easy to listen too

I've own 3 pairs of harbeth speakers (still have 2 with me) M series harbeth are neutral and great timbre, natural and accurate tone, home series (eg SHL5, C7) do sound warmer but not losing much the attributes of M series While harbeth have a warm sound, none of them have the coloration of that...

For usd100, I'd say, EDC3 again, if you are looking for a warm sound. I listen to jazz with it and I think it's pretty good for the money I've heard good about IT01, though i havent hear that myself

yes. create a massdrop account, and you can search for EDC3. i think EDC3 is currently dropping for another few days

thank you for your review. It was clearly written, to the point with simple descriptives, thus perfectly enjoyable to read. In addition to brief background of the how N8 came about. Definitely interesting for a keen buyer as myself. Can I also ask if: 1) what music did you use for the...

Massdrop EDC 3.

I had a chance to listen to IT04 n polaris. I my memory the polaris has a more incisive slam a little faster but not as coherent thru the rest of the music. Polaris has a more up front treble vs smoother treble on the it04 I think polaris will give me more listening fatigue over time, but...

I really wanted to get the zishan 4497 as a portable source to drive iem/ciems but for its 22ohm impdendance, many of iems would not be performing their best and I have no need for it to drive high impedance headphones since my desktop amp could do that :(

Does that mean these out the output impedances for balanced and SE output? If so, many earphones could be ruled out I thought I remember seeing someone mentioned the SE output impedance is <1 but I could have misunderstood. .

would Ibasso IT04 be a cheaper alternate?

Does any one know the output impedances of various zishan models, ie 4495 n 4497 based ones?

Eartech quads triples duals ciems are all going under 500

Thank you. I certainly like Clear alot when I tested it with my desktop gear @ Zeppelin. I also realised that goodness of IEM, especially its portability and intimancy of closeness to transducer (as compared to headphones which are afterall outside ears). I'm going to spend some time to listen...

I remember retail price of n8 is about 2.5k on standard options. What kind of headphones can be technically better than n8 ? Senn hd6xx series? Focal clear? I'm looking at getting some good headgear for home use and am wondering if I'm better of getting a technically better headphone for less money

On the use of this latest Zishan 4497EQ DAP" 1) charging is through the micro USB port? is there charging LED or some ways to remind users on full charge? 2) the standard deal is the DAP + digital cable? I also saw option for charging set but not sure if there's something proprietary or if it...

Hi Crinacle, Thank you for your views of those sets of hybrids. on the N8t, how would you compared the top tier headphones like Clear/Utopia, HD800s that you said you use/own? for a SGD2500 set of earphones, I am wondering if it gives something that the top tier headphones don't give, given...

As I was browsing the demo rooms n tables, my eyes laid sight on angstrom's tube amplifier. Magnificent construction. I sat down to listen its demo setup with tidal into some dac I'm not familiar into the stella amp driving audeze lcd-x. For the same music that I thought I was familiar with...

Fair enough. I backed up the project. Hopefully Spotify will be supported
