I have the Burson V7Vs but for me they have a too "sterile" sound, compared with my other references, because they are too energetically unbalanced towards the highs and therefore lacking body in the mid-low range and, consequently, in dynamics, as well as a less wide soundstage than my...

I ordered mine on Cafago for 650 euros (free shipping) and I received the one with the charging port marked in orange. I tried to power it with a modern smartphone power supply that also supports 12V mode, but when I try to switch to Turbo mode it suddenly turned off, and therefore I could only...

It all depends on your budget, and what type of source you are already using now with the Arune, to understand what your listening habit is and what your references are. Choosing a Xduoo XD05 pro would make more sense if you hadn't already invested in a good amp, and would probably lead to you...

Anyone have tried Sonic Scientific Oracle III OpAmp? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006229075020.html

I obtained an improvement with this Copper + Silver OTG cable (not plated, but 8 wires 12 core copper silver mixed texture): https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006370795728.html Compared to the standard FiiO cable I noticed a greater openness in the high range. This cable is also very well made...

-2 db @ 20 Hz ...and... 0.8 db @ 20kz, ...really? Those are totally irrelevant, compared to the differences in frequency response of the headphones or speakers you listen to. If you really think that this could be the reason why some prefer the midrange performance of the ROHM module... I think...

In my experience, the difference in signature between the various types of DAC is not a mere question of frequency response, which today is almost linear for all, but mainly the dynamic behavior (macro dynamics) and the capacity for introspection (microdynamics). These differences in dynamic...

Please, would anyone care to describe the signature differences between the ESS and the ROHM DAC modules on the XD05Pro? (I just read only the last 40 pages... :wink: ) Tks

Indeed the problem is the cost, because a complete recap of that vintage amp costs undreds dollars/euros, and not doing so would mean not fully exploiting the potential of the HE-6SE. Therefore I think I will opt for the AKG K812, which are at the same level as the Senneiser HD800 (but with more...

Thank you for your valuable opinions. I will evaluate carefully. Max

Sorry for the simple question that might seem trivial: Could it make sense to buy a HE6SE V2 to connect directly to the speaker output of an old Kenwood KA-6004? Or might the amp quality not be up to par? (or... also have a modified T-Amp) Alternatively I could opt for an used AKG K812 (36...

Hi, I'm on my first post too... and since I own both the Chord Mojo 1 and the ifi micro iDSD Black Label, I can tell you that, in general, Chord has better detail while ifi has better dynamics. From what I have read, the Mojo 2 exceeds the limits of the 1 (which were listening fatigue, narrow...
