Buddha on a Hill HiFiMan HE-X4 (bal 2.5mm) <--FiiO M11 Plus ESS/ Local 24/88.2 FLAC via Neutron Player. 5-Star record from production and engineering to writing and singing/playing. I think this is David Crosby's late career masterpiece and maybe the finest sounding digital recording I've ever...- BobSmith8901

What Are You Listening To Right Now?
Juilliard meets Jazz Fusion. I think this record changed my musical direction as a listener and wanna-be guitar player more than anything I can think of other than The Beatles (as a kid in the 60's) and the next big change or enlightening (for me) which would have been Pat Metheny Group White...- BobSmith8901

Arooj Aftab--Night Reign (2024) Listening via Tidal 24/96 FLAC stream. This is her brand new record and it is outstanding. She's taken it up a notch in my opinion. Very musical, interesting songs and quite varied with lots of different instruments. About as gorgeous a production/engineering as...- BobSmith8901

Khomsa recorded 1994, released 1995. Claquent Les Voiles Nice, fairly short, energetic duet between double-bass and Oud. This was the first time he had recorded with, among other long admired musicians, Palle Danielsson.- BobSmith8901

Shanling M8 Android Portable player
I can tell you that my Shanling M6 Pro 21 with Android 7.1.1 Tidal Android app (any version beyond 2.86) still does the artifact-noise thing while playing MQA tracks but Tidal in UAPP is fine, no glitches as far as my experience. Somehow UAPP's developer got around what ever glitches that...- BobSmith8901

Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion
Wow, sorry to see this and my condolences. I hope you'll be able to get it fixed/replaced under warranty. That is very disappointing. Did it get very hot during charging or discharge that you're aware of? I've never had great confidence in my PA-10's battery--it takes a few hours (3 or 4+) to...- BobSmith8901
