Something like the Oppo HA-2 makes any phone a great DAP, if nothing else..

Why so many people had issues with mmcx connector, my lz-a3 was good?  On the other hand i was the first batch of people who tried reshelling and the company who did the reshelling did not provide a job job. In the end, my ciem had loose 2 pin socket and sadly i stop using it.

  Do you have the link for Dolphin 6BA on Taobao?

Thanks!

Not sure where you can get it on Taobao to be honest. But the aliexpress link is: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2016-Super-Dolphin-6BA-In-Ear-Headset-DIY-Hifi-Custome-Made-Balanced-Armature-In-Ear-Earphone/119089_32723650896.html
 
I think AK Audio might be the only ones selling it AFAIK. If I come across any taobao sellers I will let you know

Did you ask AK Audio if the dolphin is the same as http://www.head-fi.org/products/super-audio-6

Seem like really DIY as your own preference
Great can't wait your reviews

 
Indeed. Hopefully it turned out good.
As for reviews, kindly take it with a grain of salt as I have no experience whatsoever with IEM's, and as my name suggests, I am an audio noob.

Official Taobao link to SuperAudio's store:

And I do not think they are related. Just search their store.

As for  the "AK Customs", here is there Taobao Store:

I did ask them point blank if the dolphin was a rebrand of any sort and they said that is is an all new original product

I have found the Tao / Taobao agent page for these guys and updated the review with the link.
It is now complete and I hope it puts them on the radar. Hopefully a second review isn't far away. Anyone?

I learned last night that a bump in bass via EQ can make the Vivo XE800 neutral instead of analytic/bright.  I know there were some others who recently bought them that weren't happy with their sound sig and would suggest playing with EQing the bass because they're quite good neutral earphones with some adjustment.

I must admit I'm a little curious about the XE800, but only somewhat.  I worry I'd buy it, go "Well, that's not bad" then ignore them afterwards.

 

[roy_jones]

The most fascinating phenomenon on head-fi for me is the reluctance to use EQ, and the lack of understanding about the role of EQ in perceived sound quality.

Still no update on the Vivo XE800 vs the UE TF10?

That's probably down to different ears . And there's the sound is a subjective thing .
And that fascinating phenomenon you had experience in head fi is more or less down to the fact you'll find majority here is more or less with very high standard type of audiophile purists in search for bit for bit perfection .

Hahaha

Can't find the UE10pros anywhere. 
 
Frustrating.  I'm guessing the EQ'd XE800 would be the winner because I like forward mids and the UEs mids are recessed.  Still don't like the bass level of the XE800, but at least with EQ they're neutral instead of bright.  The quality of the driver itself seems good.

Ah what a bummer man. I'm so extremely close to ordering the XE800 when i get my salary but i want to have some references since most of my IEMs are kinda old.
