I used to mod cheapo chi-fi DAP's during the halcyon earbuds forum days. Any modding: like op-amp rolling / capacitor exchanging etc. was always linked to specialist forum threads so it wasn't really an issue. ST7 & Pro2 are still both on my radar - alas once the Hydro arrives, will inform whether I need them tbf.

@Bosk did some masterworks modding a Chifi tube amp in the past. Unfortunately I have never had a chance to test that giant box before he disassembled it.

I’m not touching amp modding. With my luck, it would explode in my face

Oh, the Watercooler thread is getting behind the Discovery in the numbers of posts (I know some Watercoolers are very much into the number of posts and into "overtaking" Discovery - with the last month dynamics - not gonna happen )

Really?

1. The Watercooler Thread has always been behind this thread in the number of posts.
2. Over in The Watercooler Thread, Rockwell75 has chastised people for not multi-quoting.
3. I posted the reminder above, only after receiving complaints about post spamming occurring here, and I was hoping that a stitch in time would save nine. But I'm perfectly happy to just let posts get reported and deleted, and for more extensive thread pruning to happen as a result.

Haha I totally agree: it's not for the faint hearted - Zishan Z2 was the only DAP I needed to replace post soldering & such mistakes dissuade you from trying out anything more complex. I never bought the Zishan DSD which had some incredible mods, alas I'd never attempt to re-solder SMP components circuitry & risk smoking a much more expensive unit - bigtime.
Considering the cost of an Hiby R4 nowadays with inbuilt PEQ etc, why would you ?? lol.

Can you explain this exactly, please?

Cheers!

I can not. As stated in our Posting Guidelines, private messages are private, and there's no need for me to get into who has made complaints. Suffice it to say, not all of you in this thread are happy with some of the rapid fire posts that happen here.

Rockwell not cheering for the number of posts and page numbers on numerous occasions and not asking at least several times about overtaking Discovery thread? Furthernore, to one of his posts about overtaking Discovery - you gave quite a detailed answer with the projections based on post dynamics that required some efforts looking into it (!) (back then post numbers for the threads were on slowly intersecting trendlines. Now this trend is broken).

I rest my case here. No more comments about it.
Any actions are your prerogatives and responsibility.

First of all, you do realize that nobody takes any of that seriously right?

Secondly, likewise. Y'all carry on as you were then. Just use the report button if there are any issues, no need to PM me about it.

Thread drama is the worst sort of drama. It makes me worried about someone someday just turning the lights off and shutting the door on what is one of my favourite pastimes lately.

Zishan/walnut and that overly expensive capacitor.
And og xd05 and op-amp rolling.

That was zs5, zs6 days.
I'm still using dragonfly black dongle for my phone.

It's my hope that this thread remains one of the most popular threads here on Head-Fi, and better yet the most popular thread here period!

I think a lot of Head-Fiers have built there love for the hobby through this thread -- starting as new members, and eventually growing into some of our most experienced members -- happily passing on their knowledge to even newer generations of members.

If this thread had five, ten or even twenty times as many posts as as any other thread, that would be a wonderful thing! It means that both the hobby and the community are healthy (and ideally) happy.

private messages are private

To clarify, I didn't mean you should expose private messages publicly...but to explain what it means.
These are two different meanings.

Cheers!

Oh, I see, my apologies for misunderstanding.

Basically, the complaints center around some members' habits of making many short posts, all in a row, over a relatively short period of time. While there is no hard rule against this, I can sympathize with the complaints and understand how irritating this can be. And so, I simply wanted to remind everybody that multiquotes are possible. I didn't even ask people to use that feature, just pointed out that it exists, and explained what it does.

I think it's important for us to remember that some members receive email notifications of new posts -- and having to repeatedly check back here every few minutes after yet another email can get tiring over time.

Any in here who has bought the new Moondrop Evo?
And is happy or got any complaints?

Love the Letshuoer Cadenza4 due to sound and comfort, and just cheap enough so I can use it at work. Thinking it would pair perfect with the Evo, both in design and as a portable solution.

Right now I use the cabled IEMs mostly in the car/office or during breaks. And stick to tws when out physically working.

Oh ho more importantly can you please explain the humour on the cup - that distinction between hashtag and sharp. What's meaning of sharp in this context. My head will burst else!

Like in music. You have sharp and flat. The symbol for sharp looks like a hashtag symbol.
