What would be the best recommendation for an IEM at a price of around 50-60 euros.With strong bass, detailed analytical sound, good dynamics in Db, wide sound stage, QDC 2-pin connectors, crisp treble,a good stock cable. If there is such a model at all.Thx

That description mostly matches the Jade Audio (FiiO) JD7. It doesn't have QDC connectors on its cable (mmcx), and whether its stock cable is any good is a matter of opinion, more so than its sound characteristics.

Does the AUNE M1p show album art? Can someone post a photo of it's playing screen?

Thanks in advance.

@EMPORIUS Hmm - I can think of a few like that but all well over $100 or no longer available. Or both. Maybe the Final E3000? Cable isn't removable and is thin and plain-looking - but it also isn't tangly or noisy. IMHO a great choice in the $50 price range if you're willing to consider the bullet style.

I am watching at the moment Truthear Hexa lil bit over my budget but looks interesting all the comotion about them.

I wonder if any improvements have been made to the user interface and software features.

No album art. And I don't think there ever will be.

Is interesting if the firmware is stable.

 

[Mr.HiAudio]

Is interesting if the firmware is stable.

I will be very surprised if everything works there

+ WiFi…!!! With the usual ambitious Zishan features set. Per the (Chinese) manual: Airplay & UPnP (so you can cast from your laptop or phone to Z5 through WiFi, instead of Bluetooth), local Samba server (WiFi file transfer) and local MPD server (so you can use Z5 as a server playing tracks from the SD onto your phone, PC, etc. through an MPD-compatible app).

It appears that there is an Android app (apk side load).

No touch screen…. So to enter your WiFi credentials or SMB name/pwd for example, you have to use the keys to select a key on the screen keyboard…. Your SSID & Pwd better be short!

Interesting HW… but too expensive for what will most likely remain an experiment, with unstable fw and half-working features.

Are you aware of any DAPs with crossfeed or something similar? @EMPORIUS I see your FA4 has some filters, have you tested them out?

Wifi feature could be a good way to overcome the pathetic ui. Been using zishan dsds 4499 strictly as usb dac lately due to low patience with ui.

Striking design flaw to lack pouse/play button, I'm sure software is unusable too.

I'm looking at similar DAPs and most of them don't have such a button (they have vol/skip track though). Weird. Maybe you can use the power button for that?

Also noticing the beautiful Iriver ICM10, with Oled and tiny dimensions:

https://m.it.aliexpress.com/wholesale/Iriver+icm10.html

USB-C and, as written in the descriptions, Bluetooth 5.3 make it a well updated model. The blue version is really hard to find.

I started a dedicated thread.

I like it!

Hi, can anybody share the firmware and drivers for F.audio FA4? I can download.

Thanks.
