A&E is finally doing a player with the Pentaconn connector. Took a bit for them. Meanwhile, I’m stay ONLY with my 1A and 1Z. Simple and wonderful DAPs

When Sony released their premium sound 64GB microsd card back in 2015 for USD$160, many on the internet ridiculed Sony even electrical engineers who dismissed the whole thing claiming if you designed your product correctly then it shouldn't be influenced by the electrical noise.


Lucky for us in 2020, the sandisk extreme pro 64GB can be purchased for the ultra low price of just USD$22. It will allow for anyone to easily test out if microsd card can influence the sound of their walkman or any dap in 2020.

I think we should always keep an open mind on things and not ready to dismiss something as impossible without actually experiencing it for yourself or doing more research into the topic. Especially when we live in the post edward snowden world where subversive things are going on behind our backs.

Not ridiculing this post, trying to work it out - the extreme pro is equivalent of the Sony card? If so guess I lucked out with my 1tb card

According to @Whitigir , yes the Sandisk is very close to the Sony.
What we as human know about the universe is merely a speck of dust.
I also have Sony 64 card and the extreme pro is very close to the Sony performances, but is offered in 1Tb capacity Instead.

You DON'T have to use screen at lowest setting.
The lowest brightness setting is not even practical to use in normal ambient light.
In fact my lower model A45 does not allow such a low brightness setting. It's screen is much brighter. No way higher normal brightness would be low freq enough to induce any headache.



Yes primarily because no one would stare into low brightness...
:)


Hahahaha this is trickery!
Your Basically looking at an effect of the interaction of what a camera reproduces when pointing into another screen... I can also take any pic, at any screen and get all kinds of effects..
This is not same as actually looking into the screen.
Goes to show you how smart that girl is, haha.


I can see the future....
Ibasso.. won't last.


Ugh, now I have to compare variables with that firmware as well..
There's like 4 variables with each firmware..
:)


Haha sounds like someone on the run..

You gotta step back and look at your life, when you need to do so much, and basically stay off the grid...
Maybe what your doing is not worth the stress.



This is where allot of people get mixed up, so this is how I see it:
The data which is stored, is not lossy. It is checked and recorded in whatever medium.
BUT...
What people don't realize, the that when playing, in real time, it is a different scenario.
The circuits everywhere will impose their signature.
Even the memory cards have circuits...

Looking at it this way, I will use an analogy...

Look at a music sheet with music written on it...
It is stored on paper and unchanging..

Then, a player (musician) start to read it and plays.

Different players with interpret this data with thier own timing and style, regardless how exact they try to play the musical score.

This is what is happening in all digital world.
Only in a "non-live or non-streaming" senario would we be assured in getting the accurate checked data (in general)...

it's almost like dealing with flat-earthers.....BTW are you deliberately being derogatory to women - calling them girls? Or is just a poor socialisation (no contact) defensive kind of thing?

"Goes to show you how smart that girl is, haha."

Anyways, what can one say....phone companies are introducing DC dimming as an option - because they don't like getting equipment returned.

And the roll out of smart phone / personal screen tech - as well as deliberately designed mood modifying / addiction looping Apps - is pretty much an open experiment on the world population of users.

Even if you don't get migraines etc, PWM screen flickering still seems to have, as yet not fully determined impacts, on physiology and cognition..

Youtube is filled with videos of people showing variations of PWM - on camera - and then having to return tech.

Apple iP X had a relatively sophisticated version that effectively cut out PWM flickering when brightness went over 60%.

It was a classic poker tech tell - because they were probably concerned that the cheaper way of dimming - which they'd never used before - could 'impact the user experience' - which they are all about, apparently. They definitely want their users hooked. But not made ill enough not to be able to use their gear.

But it was return city.

QED: Apple "binned" PWM for the iP11. All about the dollar.

May the road always rise to meet you - you need all the help that you can get

Guys, I am considering buying a pair of IEMS. I don't have experience with IEMS apart of earpods :dt880smile: so any advice in terms of good pairing would be appreciated. I'd like to get something below $3000 mark and I hope to get as close as I can to a "Stax like" sound signature.

Am I dreaming or is that possible?

3.5 Pro balanced to 4.4 Pentaconn cable arrived (8 core 50/50 copper/silver braid) :) Best to set the WM1A to high gain, overall sounds great, the Deva's own balanced BT dongle is more than decent enough for when you dont care to be tethered. Hifiman's Deva certainly presents a far superior audio experience than the usual over ear BT suspects, being an interesting if not compelling alternative.

Deva respond's well to Sony's DSP, encouraging one to experiment with them all, equally Deva is not a terribly efficient set, and with the DSP mostly all on battery life with these Planar Magnetic drivers will take a fair hit. For the most part I dont really plan to use the Deva with the WM1A wired, however it's nice to have the ability and there is an improvement over the Deva's own Bluemini Amp/DAC, which is very seductive in it's own right...

Have to say although my Fiio M11 Pro has substantially more power output, the WM1A simply sounds much better thx to it's lifelike musicality. The Sony DAP simply wins out versus the more powerful yet rather clinical M11 Pro. I've no doubts that a dedicated desktop Amp/DAC would bring out the very best with Deva for those that have.
