Can someone explain to me why all of my 16 ohm Fiio M7, as well as my Fidue A83 which is rated at 11 ohms? My M7 has a output impedance of 2 ohms and all my earphones are dead quiet with no hiss.

Please someone tell me its not worth owning the s6rui alongside the ex1k....my credit card doesnt need another audio purchase. But this guy wants to buy something so bad im having an issue waiting. Those damn wood backs looking all sexy, stupid sexy woodbacks.

What ear tips are people using on their fearless?
i will try final type e , i use them with all my iems. but still have to wait for my fearless.

I'm using these spinfits, inserted deep. they're very comfortable and look great.
also, i took some more pics at home finally. some of them came out Real Nice™:
Wood panel detail:
bit of everything:
Tweeter (I looked up the part number):
low x 2, mid low x 2, mid high x 2, high x 2:
the other side isn't braided quite as beautifully at this:
sound tubes:
(a mod should absolutely delete these if they're taking up too much bandwidth for folks. i can also just take anybody's word for it if it's messing up their pageloads!)

Nah leave those dope sick pics up...AWESOME!
I am upping a S8PRO vid soon.
S8F is better IMO. graphs are similar technical abilities are not. It's all in the micro details. Finger sliding up a guitar string type stuff.
S8F does it and S8 PRO is more polite maybe less intense?
The S6PRO is a set that acts like a "PRO" would indicate but like S8F best so far.
Did u try the acme already ?

Depends. Main factor - sensitivity and tuning (treble rolloff) (and even crossovers, which can "filter" higher frequencies, and thus lowering sensitivity, and even cables). The Fidue A83 is 105dB sensitive. DAPs usually do not have "adaptable impedance" (the M7 might have, but probably not) like phones, but in my case, the TinAudio T2's (16ohm and 102dB sensitivity) I have 0 hiss with my axon 7, which in "high impedance mode" (anything above 17ohms) has hiss, because in that mode the internal impedance is ~7ohms (very bad for high sensitivity low impedance IEMs). My DM6 has insane amount of hiss, and even coil whine from touching/sliding the screen (20ohms 122dB sensitivity) with that phone, which operates at the 32ohm impedance treshold (that's 12ohms of difference in that case with the DM6). The DM6 has big peak at 16kHz as well, so it's picking everything (wifi, GPU load coil whine, the noise even masks quiterer sounds completely, so the noise floor is really bad in that case).
The truth is, you never really know how an IEM will "pair" with a certain source, unless you try it. 2ohms of internal impedance + treble rolloff might not show any hiss for example, while higher sensitivity IEMs with higher treble extension (after 13kHz) might have hiss even with 1ohm of internal impedance. It simply depends. From what I've seen in the graphs, Fearless Audio's IEM's have their higher treble rolled off, on all of them. So they might not have problems with hiss, unless you go to 3-4ohms of internal impedance and above.
My point from earlier was, if your DAP has balanced output, you should always use it (unless there is severe internal impedance problems, but in that case, the IEM you wanna use with that DAP is not a good idea anyway), because you will get the max from your IEM (stereo imaging is very important to me - soundstage, micro-detail accuracy and instrument positioning and such depend on that factor).

Well, I kinda expected that, because of the difference in impedance which I mentioned yesterday, which the singleend of ANY DAP (even if it's $10000) would do the same thing. Even DAC's themselves have crosstalk rating, which is why we have dual DACs in our fancy DAPs - to eliminate DAC crosstalk factor completely. I still think that if you try both the F8f and the pro in balanced (with the same cable if possible), the "technical" abilities should be identical, or at least close, and the Pro perhaps even better (driver config is the same, crossover is different, adding more impedance on the freedom means more "filtering" to some degree).

Some of the nicest pictures I’ve seen here in 10 years.

I can put them back in place............ah well not back here in the original place? But I have them. Head-Fi doesn’t allow pictures larger than 10mb. So there is no fear unless your on a 56k line, or something?
Meaning if the file is too big the server will not accept it anyway.

perfecious: The point of my post was to illustrate that even though my most sensitive iems with a dap who's output impedance is 2 ohms and only has unbalanced out, still produces more than good audio. If I remember correctly, other members have stated they hear no perceived difference between balanced and unbalanced. On the other hand, members also stated they hear a marked difference. Go figure?
