For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Hisenior T4 and Simgot DEW4X

Ambient electronica while rushing trough some overdue work, nice way to forget time while working.


Hope you got through the work without too much fuss 🤞
How is the DEW4X? Just another dongle, or does it set itself apart in any way?

Quite decent Cirrus Logic dongle, better than early Cirrus dongles from a year back. Wish it had display, less accidents about the volume.

Still prefer Ru7 or FC6 as dongle, but I keep them at home.

Thanks, sounds like it's not worth upgrading to over my Dawn Pro.
Ordered the FC6, but HiFiGo extended the delivery date with more than a month after I placed the order, so cancelled it again.
The search continues for a good solution for my office desk setup 🙂

Dawn Pro is more or less the same as the DEW4X, if you want a good upgrade its either something like FC6, RU7 or iBasso DC-Elite.
I would maybe just get a good and cheap DAC/AMP instead for desk solution.

And talking about upgrading, ordered something new for my desktop. Love R2R and been missing it from a older setup I had.

Grats on the new gear! Been eyeing Ares II for a very long time myself, for my speaker setup. Should be a great addition 👍

I'm chilling this evening with some nice music on some good gear :)
R7, DO100, V200 and HEKS.

+1 on the RU7, one of the easiest to use audio devices I have owned. Not sure what you are looking for in an upgrade but I upgraded from the Q5K and almost never look back.

Outside the versatility I never understood the Q5K hype, sold mine fast. But the RU7 is an awesome one, actually preffered it more than the Cayin N7 :100:

Agreed, I keep it around until I upgrade to something bigger just cause it is nice to have Bluetooth on occasion… really like the look of that new Questyle CMA18, waiting for that to go down in price a bit tho.

Honestly, neither am I, and that should probably be the first thing I try to figure out 😁
Don't need the mobility, so I should find a nice all-in-one or small stack, but there is also just something silly cool about the portable devices.
Anyway, I've derailed the thread enough for now, enjoy you evening/day all 👌

I look forward to hearing your views on the Denafrips Ares 12th as I've been considering one for a while
