I'm not the only one who thinks the jh13 is the better ciem. I know joker feels the same and when I spoke to Steve Guttenberg from the audiophiliac he felt the same.
Hello, can someone who has tried the JH5 and the 1964-D or 1964-V3 do a comparison? Looking to buy a ciem and still undecided.
I was hoping for something for like a $50 discount on the rest of their lineup similar to what they did on independence day.
You would really have to find that out for yourself. Will your V3 sound the absolutely best out of an ipod? The answer is probably no. However there is a tradeoff. Are you will to add additional bulk to your portable rig or buy a higher end dap like something from Hifiman, iBasso, Fiio, etc? For many people including myself I refuse to buy an additional amp that adds another unit with some kind of line out cable that adds more bulk. Of course you can get a better dap but that adds more money to the mix so it is something only you can answer after you get your iems.
Definitely.
iPods SQ is average, using externals will definitely be better than standalone.
Or you could just get a pure standalone DAP like X3, DX50 or AK100/120 to reduce the bulk.
