by the way if I only play local files with built in player, does Hi-Res stream option on or off matter?

 

[jacobfern]

Balanced? If yes ....my God....

what can i say. years of "marital bliss" has left my ears in need of more abuse.

Any DSP or EQ is a heavy user of battery. Hi-Res is a heavy battery user. Higher sample rates use more battery.

A Bluetooth connection will shorten the battery life by up to 60% depending on the following conditions.

• Format of the content.
• Settings of the connected device.

Note​

• The values shown in this topic indicate the approximate battery life when the player is playing continuously with the default settings.
• Even if the player is turned off for an extended period, a small amount of battery power is still consumed.
• Battery life may vary depending on volume setting, conditions of use and ambient temperature.
• The battery is consumed considerably when the screen is on.
• The battery life may become about 60% shorter when some of the sound adjustments are active.
• The battery life may become about 20% shorter when the [High-Res streaming] function is active.

Yeah, I meant if I only listen to local files, will the Hi-Res streaming have any impact on the Sound?

It does not matter at all. The built-in player will still play at the correct sample rate. No change in sound. It simply ignores the setting.

One is clearly the Ely underpowered while the other is not.
It's not even close... so it's not like I am trying to split hair : it's very obvious and I am curious as to what the experience of Elysium owners is (I'll ask on that thread...

Same experience with the FitEar DC Ti

Wow… they are absolutely perfect for my use case..

Funny that this have been heavily discussed a few pages back after several people claimed they can hear an difference. But of course, there is no difference

Just got myself a WM1AM2 as I like how Sony sounds. Meanwhile I am using a Letshouer S12 Pro. However I am wondering if there is any recommendations for other IEM to go with it?

 

[Bigbeat]

Definitely SONY IER-Z1R.

 

[zeroshiki]

better demo first for Z1R for the fiting, don't blind buy.

same goes for the ier m9 and solaris og

I would recommend looking at the plunge audio unity as those are terrific for comfort

I'm using ie900 and u12t with 1zm2, I like how they sound, ie900 has such a great fit which I can wear duing sleep

 

[kumar402]

I always use it with DSD upsampling ON and it significantly reduces the battery life per charge but is still better than many players out there.

IE600 and 64 Audio U4s are good options.
