Hiss detected, tf10 reshelled with alien.
Recently I feel that the alien might be too much to handle, like not knowing the song and having to take out the sdcard and well what can I say using other dap have definitely been easier, battery life wise more if not same. Since I mostly use it on the move, i need it to sound better to justify for screenless and stuff or at least have more battery life.
I guess I will save up money for another dap.
I thought this too but its actually such a relief having one less decision make- which song is next. Instead you just load it up with music that you like and put your attention on other things including the world around you.
Plus the form factor and build quality is pretty hard to beat for portability.
And of course the sound which I doubt can be touched in that price range.
+1
The Alien was a leap of faith for me, but it's secured top spot for my portable listening pleasure - it pairs incredibly well with the Noble K10s and never ceases to amaze with a well-recorded album.
Your concerns can be well founded, and unfortunately also mistaken. I am sure I speak for many of us Shozy owners here when I say we all had those thoughts floating around our head before taking the plunge and ordering one. I'm sure many will agree that with the screenless aspect comes a new found appreciation and a welcomed revelation towards the shuffle/shozy style DAP.
I used to review DAP upon DAP for ABI (anythingbutipod), and always I had gripes about this feature of UI or that. It's strangely odd and refreshing to be met with so little to complain about, because it is so stripped back to basics.
My point is, that it's a bit of a journey, you won't know whether you appreciate the Shozy in all it's glory till you have it in your hand and play around with it, trial it, live with it, and see how it/if it works for you. You can't second guess it and predict how you might feel about it, you have to own it.
Ahh... I own it??? I even sold my fiio x3 after buying the alien.....
What headphone pairing are people finding sounds best with the Alien? Out of the Tenores, Rockets, Thinksound On1s and Mikros 90s, I find the 90s sound best by a decent margin.
Was wondering how the Rockets (I'm assuming the Aurisonics Rockets) sound with the Alien. I'm using them with a Fiio X3, but I think that a better DAP could perhaps bring out the Rockets' mids more.
Thanks for your reply! Maybe I'll take a shot at the Shozy. That gold one looks mighty enticing at the price they have it on null-audio.
Just sent an email to null-audio asking them whether the Gold Edition is in any way different than the regular one other than the color.
Does anyone know the answer to that question?
So the general consensus is that the Shozy Alien> DX90 in terms of price to sound ratio? Is there a noticeable difference? I am wondering because on mdrop, the dx90 is $330 now. Also, how is the alien for sensitive iems? I usually listen 1-2 clicks up from 0 so not too loud..
