Have to let the page fully load and at the bottom section a little pop up. Will show.saying use buysmartjapan:sweat_smile:

 
Thanks. It was there already for me, but it doesn't say "buysmartjapan" in the banner. Once you click on it though, then you are in "buysmartjapan" world.
 
Is this better for some reason than amazon.jp and tenso? (I already have an account with tenso).

More of a convenience thing I believe. About the same, they just help you buy from sites, still no warranties. I tend to stick with amazon as I trust them to uphold warranties and RMA more.

Today is the 3rd day n night I have burned in the Singolos and the sound continues to open up..I am burning them using my 2quickstep amp and X3..They sounded a bit flat on open box but flat is not how they sound now so these reaffirm the fact that BAs actually need burn in just like dynamics do.. These continue to sound more refined with every single day of use..
 
A bit of a negative is the CKR5s. They have all of a sudden decided to show an increase of mid bass. Which is unfortunate.Clarity suffers because of this..I hope the bass starts to tighten up more so. I have a feeling it will take a good 200 hours before they start sounding correct.

At this point without a doubt in my mind ZA got the pricing right on the phones. Guys that love that Tenor sound will find the Singolos as a nice upgrade as they fit somewhere between the Tenor and the Doppios in refinement and sound.
 
I can see guys actually liking these Singolos more over the Doppios..As it is less of an analytical presentation to the Doppios..In comparison to the Doppios however, the Singolos do not have the same detail and even a higher end precision of the Doppios.  It is surprising how good the bass end of the singolos are for using one BA. It sounds very complete to my ears with all the detail and precision of a BA.
 
One very cool factor of the Singolos.. They are tiny earphones. A spacious sound coming from a tiny earphone is very cool.  Almost the exact same size physically as the tenors.

OK, heard from BuySmartJapan, have shipped my FAD Pandora Hope VI, don't know how long the shipping from there takes, hopefully not too long. Been liking some more oldies but goodies...Earsonics 64 sounding really nice to my ears, great, lush, detailed mids...not the strongest bass, but adequate, imo. Been dragging around Brainwaves B2 for a bit, just to have available for phone calls through mic-have been enjoyin them for music, haven't heard them mentioned in a bit.

Time for Dogwalk Discoveries (though we haven't walked yet, I'll cheat..
Cover time, fun cover...


Same group, scary original...



And, if you need to chill out at this point, some Hawaiian Slack Key...feel the Island Breeze :)

I'm this close to buying the DX90, raves on it have me salivating, in my Amazon cart waiting for me to pull the trigger. My main hesitation: have the X3, my main problem with it is the UI, can only use it to listen and find files in the File Explorer mode, if I search under Artist or Album, just tells me files are not good (some sort of error message, don't remember the details this minute). Was OK with this for a while, but albums by multiple artists and other downloads don't work well, am tired of this crummy UI. Is iBasso more usable?

if it's anything like DX50, I'd say it's just great! works every way - be it browsing by album, artist, or just folders.
