Wait.... my math is not math-ing, 9 million views in 3 years... doesnt that mean +- 3 Mill Views / Year?
Yeah im terrible with numbers, but please enlighten me jeff

Lol no excuse beyond that it's late, and I'm tired...and for the sake of full disclosure a touch intoxicated. The actual stats:

"We hit 8 milion a good while ago now, so it's safe to say we're nearing 9 million. This thread is 3 years old as of next Wednesday. So ~9 million views in 3 years. That's 3,000,000 views/year, which averages out to ~8200 views/day, 342 views/hour and therefore about ~6 views every minute or one view every 10 seconds."

Thanks for the correction.

I love GOOOOLD!

Aura is amazing!

We live in a golden age of iems and gear. I feel this meme in the watercooler every time someone debates iems. It just goes good iem is good, then the discussion begins.

You do tours? Did not know. @Rockwell75 Once I am a little bit more established on head-fi can I join, provided all required information and procedures are met? @tjzurlaaa Would you be able to do a character vouch for me? I ask as my total post count is low and I am still a newer head-fi member. Anything additional please simply let me know. Thank you.

No need to wait. Along with @tjzurlaaa (and many others) you've established yourself to me as one of the most solid and sincere contributors to this thread in recent months. Welcome aboard.

Fujii Kaze's Tiny Desk Concert was nice.

The engrish lyrics are strong in this one, but I like it!

This one is also really good:


*Edit* It does not work somehow, but it is the RAYE Tiny Desk Concert

Oh yes, a new Pearl Jam album! A bunch of ~60 year olds showing how it's done for a 12th time. Dark Matter, loving it so far, and thankfully I have the right gear to hear it.

Coreir brass tips really do enhance things up a notch I can 2nd that

Does Coreir make more than one type of tip? Have only purchased brass tips for the Annihilator.

Thank you. My heart is growing from the kindness.

RAYE is probably my favorite new artist of last year. How she wasn’t nominated for any Grammy’s is beyond me. They’re about as bad as the Golden Globe’s to me now.

I recently discovered this performance of hers from SNL, and it’s unbelievable (as usual):

Nothing much by the looks of your signature! The Aura is really good!

Ahhh cuteness overload


Yeah the Aura is amazing, also the first IEM where I thought the unboxing was suited gor the price. Some boxes can really be underwhelming (looking at you Jewel).

^Check this song out, wow. How can vocals be so fierce but peaceful at the same time?

Thanks for sharing ! A band I grew up with and still listen regularly to !

Not that wearable but we are making some progress on the DIY project.
Now knee deep in crossover designing.

Also need to chose what veneer we will use on the sides. What do you think, wallnut or oak?

I don't know what you mean...

Crosspost from discovery. Can’t believe Hiby managed to pull off this android DAP for $250.

It’s here. Some quick impressions:

• Awesome form factor. It feels good and looks very cool. A part of the back plate actually lights up. Again, can’t get over how cool the whole design is. It’s mostly metal and glass.
• Smaller than what I expected. Every buttons are easy to reach and the DAP fits well in the palm.
• The screen is likely where the cost cutting is. It’s 720p and is less colourful than what I expect coming from the beautiful screens on R6 Pro 2 and R8. But because of how small it is, videos are still sharp and enjoyable to watch.
• Software highlights: MSEB, the plugin system, and SYSTEM-WIDE PEQ! If you want to experiment with tuning, this DAP is an invaluable tool. Just need to find an easy to EQ IEM, like the plain old Blessing 2 and you can also learn about tuning and make your own profile (or just use the autoEQ tool embedded in graphtool website like mine to generate a profile).
• No software issue so far. Connection to my local media server (Jellyfin) is stable without any playback problem.
• Preliminary sonic performance impressions: the stage is flatter than my W4 (not happy), the upper frequencies feel less refined, a bit “splashy” (not happy), but the dynamic is VERY good (very happy). Every transient feels snappy and the volume swings are large. The sound is somewhat aggressive and fun, reminding me of FiiO M17.

All impressions are based on U12t.

This DAP uses one pair of ESS DAC for PCM and one pair of DSD. The DSD seems to roll off more aggressively than the PCM. I think the ability to switch between these circuits is a future promise, not something available now.

Now, time to find and load up @Joe Bloggs ’s DSP plugins on this bad boy.
