Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

[ThomasHK]

My best sounding portable setup yet. Thoroughly enjoyable, and very flexible across music genres.

SR15 --> Vorzuge Pure II+ --> qdc Gemini

I guess I was wrong...



AK SE100 in the house. (SR15 up for sale in the classifieds )

You mean in comparison to the Sony beast that is kind of 100 times more expensive than DTR1?

Both have vastly different sound signatures I do find that Sony players tend to do very well with soundstage. It just surrounds and immerses me and has nice spatial cues. Their texture also tends to lean on the smoother side which makes them a very forgiving listen. The DMPZ1 in particular makes most things sound good.

So much indeed I am thinking of reterminating the 3.5 to 4.4 to have two 4.4.

Great idea! But in that case theres a possibility the sound will change ever so slightly due to different solders being used.

Usually, it's for the better though I have heard one that was botched before... Not good. Was at E-earphone in Akihabara and was auditioning a few pairs of pre-loved, limited edition Dita Brass. They're terminated in 3.5 as stock. One pair had a 4.4mm plug on it but the sound was really bad. Very recessed and no definition. Eventually got a standard pair in great condition. Loved the warm signature.

I recently got 3 of my cables re-terminated to 4.4mm. Love it. Planning to do another one for my Nighthawk once the balance cable I ordered comes in. Also just sent off the Dita Brass back to Dita for them to reterminate it with... A Furutech 4.4mm plug.
They were confident of the service so I'm expecting good results.

Brutal Slam Metal, very fast and complex sounds. Many daps fall short playing this style. Many many daps can reproduce a female singing and playing the piano , not many can do it correctly like the N8. Got the tubes heated and glowing.
