Collabs... collabs everywhere. Hopefully this is good for the market and not just redundancy. Lately feels like a brand is supposed to have a collab stamp in order to sell.
Any more bass comes off the DM becomes a UNIC!Dark Magician would look real nice if the upper bass/lower mids were flatter.
I just meant flatter so it doesn't seep into the mids, more referring to shape than quantity.Any more bass comes off the DM becomes a UNIC!
New TRI... looking like a possible 11/11 purchase. Any hints yet on price?It is indeed. Graph looks good as it matches DM's treble
KAI, Maka, Mahina. HBB has been busy
ooh nice, its going to battle pretty crowded market now.
Well, it just depends what your after maybe? I mean now there are 2 AKM new offerings. Also Shanling is in a way competing with the next model up; the UA5. The UA5 has better sound, but it’s 2X the money. The UA3 is only $109.00.ooh nice, its going to battle pretty crowded market now.
and it seems unlike many of its competitor it have line in for cable mic?
I must admit, that KAI looks sweet af. What are the deets?Collabs... collabs everywhere. Hopefully this is good for the market and not just redundancy. Lately feels like a brand is supposed to have a collab stamp in order to sell.
Yeah, UA5 is a bit too pricy for meWell, it just depends what your after maybe? I mean now there are 2 AKM new offerings. Also Shanling is in a way competing with the next model up; the UA5. The UA5 has better sound, but it’s 2X the money. The UA3 is only $109.00.

The UA3 will appeal to those not wanting an internal battery, also those wanting on-board buttons, which the UA5 doesn’t have. It may come down to someone wanting the AKM sound? Still as of late, Shanling offers 2 (new) styles of AKM implementation!

Price obviously separates who will choose, that or maybe also use. Meaning the UA3 is really easy to use, and only does one thing. Where the new AKM DAP does everything a DAP does.
Still after all that, the UA5 also comes in red! Red!

I’m truly a fish out of water with Dongles. The only other (besides Apple) that is like a Dongle is the old FiiO E-17K Alpen 2, which the UA3 obviously beats. Still even there the UA3 is more ethereal? I have to burn it in. I have made the mistake countless times, of making a judgement before burn-in.Yeah, UA5 is a bit too pricy for me
but the Red color is just... wow

Correct, couldn't remember the name.That will be the TRI & HBB KAI, I believe.
