What amp are you using with the hiby?

What amp are you using with the hiby?

That’s a Fiio e11 Kilimanjaro, not the best amp in the world - small soundstage, but high gain and 2 bass boost settings give the P1 a nice low end boost

Arrow amp is as small but not only does it have two bass boosts , you can also only boost the sub bass or mid bass or full bass

Campfire Audio Equinox says hello (unless they are too long for you still?).

Thanks! Those do indeed look really short. Might be worth checking out.

My new Cayin N8 paired with my JH Audio Laylas. Beautiful, beautiful pairing that I'm enjoying. I thought long and hard about not going with the Cayin and instead considered the AK 1000M because I'm committed to streaming with Quboz, but the sound signature of the Cayin won me over. I decided I could live using my iPhone for Quboz and new music discovery, and the Cayin for more critical and engaged listening of my owned music. Not optimal, but when I listen to the Cayin, it's been making we smile.

Totally agree , hence I got rid of the hyped daps . I kept the N8 and a few others more for on the go.

I'll toast to that and no matter the budget category

As beautiful as Skydiver's setup is I'm not sure my conscience could ever justify the $5,825.00 difference no matter how good it may sound compared to this rig

This is not a slight for those who can afford such a luxury but the percentage of the population that can/could actually afford (or justify) a $6K plus portable rig is so miniscule we may be the only people who even begin to appreciate either for what they are

@pr0b3r , love those 755's, sure wish I had the manual dexterity and ability to MMCX mine

That parts easy. It's the justifying it to the wife I have a problem with

Point well taken, but I can assure you, no wife or kids were harmed in the acquisition of said equipment. LOL!

First post... just starting this game and chucked this together as a starter with an iPhone XR. Sound good on tidal but I think my next purchase will be a DAP (no music interruptions then!).
