The discovery thread!

Bravo to Truthear, great service to replace it, glad to hear it is all sorted out!


Haha I guess once bitten twice shy, will you still be trying to update the firmware? I guess if one needs to update the SHIO, better place it on a supportive cushion (don't let it hang in the air) and make sure nothing comes within 5 metres of touching the dongle during firmware update!!!! Not even a fan blowing at the SHIO!

Ha, ha. Yes, and we have had a lot of fans running in the house. In the middle of a heatwave. Maybe I won't try the update again. I mostly use it with DAP and OSX desktop. And my Windows laptop I have now split into a dual operating system with Linux Mint with DeadBeef and Audacity running direct to USD DAC. So if it works okay with the Linux OS I will probably leave it in original condition.

What is the source of information/insight that Joyodio is KZ- related?
To me it looks TRN-like all the way - similar looking shells and odd expectations that someone would buy 7-mm DD + two BAs for $80 because of the tuning switches (?!?)
With all other IEMs out there, it is a hard pass for me.
I would rather get my third copies of ASX + ESX to get more modications for this money

I have all the plethora of the blue shades of cables to totally enjoy my IEMs

no official confirmation, we asked in KZ discord and no response.
but so far,
- the marketing material have the same vibe with KZ marketing material..
- It uses KZ Starline Eartips.
- It uses KZ supposedly in-house custom DD.
poosibly made in the same factory or supplied by the same OEM but...

Flo Audio Cable Pair result:

Amped :
#0: Softears RSV Stock cable; Well Balanced gain
#1: See Audio x Hakugei Collab. Cable (Bravery OG Stock) 3.5mm SE; good U-tuning
#2 Mangird Tea Stock SPC 4.4mm ; U tuning
#3 Truthear Stock cable 3.5mm SE ; balanced gain
#4 NiceHCK DB3 stock cable : V-tuning
Line-out:
Lily Stock cable….Couldn’t find better balanced cable other than Stock for LO ; well balanced to vocal neutral with great sense of resolution x air, I don’t know why but Lily matches better with 3.5mm SE rather than balanced cables, especially in imaging technicalities, SE performs better on most of occasion for Lily.


Terrible Match:
#1 Sea-Elf Hakugei cable; Again Weird mid boost with rolled off treble, and some peaks and dips
#2: Banned Brand (Y/i/n/yoo) cable; musks all spectrum with fog, Muddy air plane complementary buds class.

Sea-Elf’s cable (left) vs See Audio x Hakugei Collab cable (right) , the See Audio one definitely feels better made, similar cable to Linsoul’s LSC08 UPOCC.

Hello friends,
I have just posted my review for the Letshuoer x Gizaudio Galileo. Love the Galileo for its rich, lovely sound tonality, it sounds comfortable and relaxing. Although would have loved some more punch to the lower end and a tad bit more depth to the soundstage.
Please read my complete review here:-

Just curious, but is anyone here reviewing the Ling Longs?

If you wait a week, a "PRO/MAX/ULTRA" version of the KZ Ling Long will inevitably be released haha.

 

[SiggyFraud]

Not sure whether this review was shared before, but watching it made me curious about Ling Long’s potential, particularly due to it’s open back design.

The FiiO FH15.

Smooth casual tuning for easy listening with plenty of bass and forgiving treble.

What do you guys think of the original FiiO X5 for true line-out device? Can I do better DAC-wise?

 

[Jmop]

Also original X3 but probably prefer X5 for more neutrality feeding into an amp.

Got excited to get new Harmonicdyne Athena for 20 dollars off, then reality. $28.00 shipping. Actually paying over the retail value. However, if you buy from Amazon you pay even more in tax. Why didn't you just say free shipping Linsoul and not put the discount out there?

I bet Ling Long is their new way to utilize XUN 6 DD, (XUN 7 is current issue For ZAR & HM20)
