    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    I have the same issue with my Anni and my 320M. I love Liquid Links cables for their sonic qualities and reasonable prices (especially in today’s market), but I can’t understand why they elect to go with their giant plug hardware that doesn’t fit recessed ports.

    Eletech Baroque Eartips; Now Available for Apple Airpods Pro!

    Baroque tips arrived today. Some quick impressions: I normally use medium stock tips and the medium size Baroque tips were a good fit. The Baroque tips have some bass boom, some added body, and sound smoother. Being smoother, the Baroques are a cozier listen, but at the same time they sound...

    NEW HiBy R4

    I suggest PMing @Joe Bloggs to get a replacement. He told us it was confirmed by HiBy headquarters that the heating issue was an amp issue, and that units affected by it need a replacement.

    NEW HiBy R4

    Mine came like that too. You have to go into the settings somewhere and turn off volume lock for spdif. Doing this will let you control the volume again.

    NEW HiBy R4

    Okay I did some more testing. 5 plugins enabled, high gain, streaming Tidal for 15 minutes, no iem attached - cool as a cucumber. Same as above but with iem connected, starts to get hot after 15 minutes, and really hot after 20-30 minutes to the point of concern. This suggests a possible amp...

    Symphonium Titan - Impressions and reviews

    It happens to every company, even those with the best qc. I've had multiple qc issues (none with Symphonium) across various companies this year and last year. What's more important is how the company responds to the issues imo. It looks like Symphonium went above and beyond in Farrellc's case...

    NEW HiBy R4

    Thanks for checking. Looks like it's just me and JimiMack having the heat/amp issues at the moment. Hopefully ours get replaced quickly and the replacement units are in good working order.

    New Wired IEM Suggestion ($100-$200 range)

    Truthear Nova is a great set in that price range. Very technical with good bass, mids, and highs. Just a solid iem overall.

    +1 Elise Audio is first class! Made a lot of purchases there last year and it’s always been a pleasure. Ahmed and Zellous are great people.

    NEW HiBy R4

    Just received my R4. Overall great sounding DAP with good design language and SQ. Tons of fun features like plugins, MSEB, and PEQ. I like the way it handles bass on my Singularity, making it sound tight and clean. Vocals can lean a touch cold and sound slightly digital but not overly so...
