Perhaps the 16x MQA feature is moot now, but may become relevant in the future and HiBy wanted to jump the gun. I don’t stream from Tidal or Qobuz any longer finding music discovery on both platforms not to my liking. Radio Paradise lossless works great for this because the DJ and I have very similar tastes in music.
As to hi res music, I own nearly 400GB bought mostly from HDtracks and Pono. I’m old school when it comes to my music, I’d rather own it. Music is my number one passion, so I’ve spent ungodly amounts of money on this hobby since I began when I was 17.
I’m really interested in reading more feedback on the R8 and how it compares to the other TOTL daps on the market. I’m starting to wonder whether my Odin needs a slightly warmer sounding dap to sound its best with all my music.![]()
That's where the beauty of turbo mode switch will come into play with EE Odin. Just like with Cayin daps where you can switch between solid state and tube modes, with Odin and turbo off is like a tube mode with a more musical tonality in mids vs turbo on - like a solid state mode with more revealing brighter mids and airy treble. Now, keep in mind, this is pair up dependent, don't expect exactly the same behavior with all IEMs and headphones, but in this particular pair up it works just that way. Not as night'n'day extreme, but quite noticeable.
