They are much lower in price in the UK now. What sort of eq options does it have?
The eq is ok but its wheel and screen were horrible. I used it mostly indoors.

And kind of have that Iron Man theme going on:beerchug:

I'm hard pressed to believe this is a budget rig! Then again maybe not as Sony does make one of the nicest DAP's on the market:rolling_eyes: These MH755's could very well be the best bang for the buck iem on the planet (of course one really needs to put even length cables on them):wink:


Is that a Colorfly C3 with a Topping NX1s underneath it? Do the Sony's need an amp?

Trick case and nice control cut out however I believe you've voided your kayak/water sports mode:rolling_eyes: I use my Nanuk with BT DAP's & Waterproff BT speakers during water activities but I do love that clear Pelican and how you can see the MO screen and Mojo lights:grin:

Thanks! I seriously considered going full-on waterproof but this was much simpler.

Not really but all Sony’s have needed more juice than most at least for me but like home speakers more power is always better. I use the C3 combo with my cans (AKG553’s & Senn HD6XX) more than iem's:beerchug:

Ah, that looks nice and clean. What for is the small/thin cable of the Sony DAP?

It's for grounding because Sony didn't ground their 4.4mm connection.

Im sorry, but that's too funny. Sony didn't ground their much-touted, superior balanced output on their $3k flagship dap??? Just wow.

That's what I've been told :frowning2:

Recently acquired the Msr7b. Also use the 99 Classics and Beoplay H6 with either my V40 or Opus#1s. Been listening to the Highway to Hell album a lot this month, to celebrate Bon's birthday, and the 40 year anniversary of the album.

I'm not 100% sure how you mean it with grounding, but I think that nobody is using grounded pin on 4.4mm connector for headphoens. Similarly 2.5mm connector also has no grounding pin.

For example here is pinout on 4.4mm adapter from Cayin

I believe that Han Sound Audio is one of the few that uses it for their Venom cable when it is terminated in 4.4mm. But that one also comes with a parallel 3.5mm (SE) plug for the ground in case the cable is terminated in 2.5mm (ie. the cable has 2 plugs). Of course the 4.4mm terminated cable will only work on a modded WM1Z (or other 4.4mm DAP).

Oriolus offers the PW Audio 4.4 + 3.5 interconnect with their balanced tube amp.
