These guys remind me of one of the greatest Progressive Rock bands of all-time, Yes. If you want your mind blown give this a listen...

You should look up the Steven Wilson remaster of that Gentle Giant album. He really did a great job with it. As he has done with most of the vintage prog remasters/remixes (including those from Yes) I have heard of his.

Switched over to the SoftEars Twilights running off my Cayin N8ii so I can lay down and see about grabbing some rest.

I wanted something a bit more relaxing and chilled out so I started scrolling and came upon my local folder for Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, specifically his/their 2011 release Here We Rest. If you haven't heard these guys, they're one of those artists that restores your faith in current music and it's ability to produce material worth listening to and supporting. Just good chilled out bluesy rock with a southern and often country bent. Fun to kick back and listen to when and dude puts on a killer live show, too. Highly, highly, recommended!

I'm normally a Spinfit W1 kind of guy but man these XELASTEC tips offer so much more isolation with some added warmth, bump in the low-end while also removing some bite of the upper treble.

As crazy as it sounds, this song changed my life when I was seventeen years old (24 years ago) still hits me even today when I listen to it.

When I was a child my grandma owned a few 78's that I loved to play. She had 2 favourite singers; Eartha Kitt & Ken Dodd. I'm listening to Eartha

For any of our American friends, this is Ken Dodd. He was HUGE in the UK. We are a strange people at times !

I think crazy frog was originally Norwegian (?), but, yes, guilty on all other charges!

Ken Dodd with some beat-combo who were quite good too....no more Ken Dodd, I promise.

For the first time in more than a month I am starting my day with the iBasso SR2's, with the new headband installed. I really like these with jazz as they don't have any sharp treble. Today is Stanley Turrentine time.

I'm switching back and forth between my two newest headphones on my two newest sources : Abyss Diana TC and DCA Aeon 2 Noire on RME ADI-2 DAC FS & Hiby R6 gen III DAP. After 20+ years in this hobby I finally feel like I can stop buying new gear.

You have some real end-game gear! How do you like your Hiby R6 Gen III? I was thinking of getting one. I know it's very new but sporting Android 12 is a real bonus longevity-wise. How is its driving ability out of the 4.4mm bal? I like that it has dedicated line outs.

I really like the R6g3. It's my first 'audiophile' DAP so I'm not sure how it performs against others. It's strong enough to power my Diana TC to my normal 'moderately loud' listening level on low gain at 85-90% volume from 4.4bal. It powers my Aeon Noire to the same loudness level at the same low gain 85-90% volume from the 3.5 output. It's enough that I never use medium or high gain. At medium and high gain both headphones get deafeningly loud. It can get a bit sluggish when I open USB Audio Player Pro, I assume due to the huge number of files on the microSD card. Apple Music works great and is responsive. I like how it shows the sample rate from any app on the title bar and it has a good amount of built in audio tweaks.
A couple things I don't like: The volume knob isn't consistently smooth throughout its 360 degree rotation - there's a bit more resistance over about 30 degrees. Also the 'double tap to wake' function doesn't work all the time. Other than that it's a great DAP.

some ‘trail fi’ today. Took the ru6 and oracle mk ii out for a hike in the hills and on the beach. Once the weather is warmer this setup won’t be viable unless I get a fanny pack/bum bag. Works great now stowed in the pocket of my hoodie, but would be too clumsy just in pant pockets. Sounds great though.

anyone into some ripping good acoustic guitar , give these guys a go.
