With DD Hi-Fi offer, thoose are useless if you want my humble opinion.

I personally haven't tried those so I dont comment on them but true I hear more often good feedbacks on the DD adapters

To say it sounds "transparent", that's snake oil !!!

???

Can someone recommend the adapter? Or adapters to check? Thanks in advance

U do like this fiio adapter, only con, is the screw, jack with the aluminum barrel, that makes it.feel not good. But raise that I like it. Note that it can be tight to remove but not much

I would never buy these adapters, better get a portable DAC with higher SINAD, less THD spec like AKM or ESS DAC chipsets.



The transparent is wrongly use here for this adapter !

You would rather buy a different portable DAC than use a 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter?

I have for many years had my main headphones and in ears terminated to various balanced terminations and then used pig tails or adapters to accomodate other terminations be it single ended or different balanced to avoid having to have several cables and swap them and have never experienced any sound improvement or degredation as a result

I agree, me too.

I was confused why somebody wouldn't want to.

Yup, after listening to the FLAC files, I definitely notice the nuances more now than ever. I’ll probably buy a few more Linkin Park albums in FLAC or MQB is it and just have those as my Hi-Res songs. They certainly sounded much better than I expected. The 1Z really does bring the best out of the IER-Z1R when using FLAC. Stunning and positive turnaround indeed. Can’t wait to see what the TA does. Looking at the DMP-Z1, I’m thinking the TA just offers a lot more variety and flexibility. With the MDR-Z7M2 also coming with the 6.35mm adapter, that really does expand all the listening possibilities. Good stuff

Flac can be also CD-Quality, wg. 16bit/44.1khz, DAT-Quality 16bit/48kHz as well as hi-res

I'm happy with my Fiio 2.5mm-4.4mm which is much smaller and lighter than my Musashino 3.5mm-4.4mm, and a 3rd of the price.

i am listening to a stellar vinyl rip by a test pressing of this iconic album , if you think those HD Tracks are good , well ignorance is bliss i guess so yeah ignore my post

otherwise if you want the 24/96 FLAC files , pm me

ps: some of you already know what i am talking about

This Joshua Tree version is stunningly good. Must have listened over the years to lower quality cd/radiocassette/MP3 versions for over a 100 hours.Then after 30+years this arrives..

Ready for another 100!

I like mine too, only wish it was L shaped instead straight on the male end

Yes, I prefer L shaped, feels less likely to get damaged if knocked. Some of their upgrade cables are L shaped whereas all of Sony's seem to be.

With the talk of the difference between wav and flac, is the difference similar to VBR and CBR mp3s? Is the mentioned difference in quality due to how the FLAC is played back having to be uncompressed as it goes?
