I made a thing, lol. Just a quick photoshop for the original post. Good, bad, ugly?

Could do with an ie800 silloette

Putting it out there, has anyone tried the Fiio F9?

I know a bunch of us discussed it earlier in this thread, but I don't think anyone had tried it at that time. I'm also curious to hear impressions on the F9.

Thought about to give them a try, but can't find a store in Europe to buy them.

Advanced mp3 players sell ...but out of stock.

Have you tried through the Fiio official store off Aliexpress?

Strange, it's cheaper to order from their store or penon, than from advanced mp3 players in the UK (111,90€ incl. tax vs. 126,56€).

@Karendar Thx for the link

Hm, want the IMR R1 too... decisions, decisions

Looks interesting. Another to put on my list for consideration. It joins the new Schiit Jil. The Schiit goes to 24/192 and isn't a headphone amp. But Mike Moffatt has more experience with digital than almost anyone. Half the price also.

Either way, ripping vinyl is more work than CDs. A lot more time consuming. Not sure I can bring myself to start such a project.

I am looking to rip a bunch of vinyl and like Schiit stuff. Thanks for update here. It's just so time consuming, not sure I'll ever have the time...just hard to get started, once I'll get into it, it should prove worthwhile as some of the stuff I have on vinyl I don't have anywhere else.

I love Schiit product names. Ripping vinyl? It's not Jack the Ripper, it's Jil. How hygge.

But back to our original topic, the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital should be interesting to folks in this thread because it's like a portable Schitt Modi/Magni stack-in-a-box, with the ability to run off of the USB power of your laptop. Most IEM users will need a 1/4" to 1/8" (3.5 mm) adapter though. As an added benefit it has heretical features likely to bring down the wrath of the Aesir upon us: DSD and MQA decoding. ; - )

Why buy from a middle man when you can buy straight from the source?

And yeah... I'd want the IMR R1 too. :\ If they promised me it wouldn't worsen my tinnitus.

@JustBobski i know you can't comment about your previous life but how would you compare TA hunters to your new R1? High probability that I'll be canceling that order soon.

Yep mqa decoding not many out there ..well that cheap anyway ,but all still new to me still reading about it so don't ask for any info, just know it's supposed to outshine every other format , and small storage and hi res streaming capability.
But as I said don't quote me still pretty new to me and not read much.

Any more knowledge on this appreciated!

They only offer "European Priority Deliver" to Germany (22,05€ + F9: 104,51€).

Yeah that's a shame because they are a pretty good company.

I won't offer my personal opinion other than I know which I would choose.

Not because the other is bad as it's not but it's not what I want from an in ear.
