Fantastic Record!

Hi! I suggest you ask in the official Eletech thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/eletech-cables-official-impressions-discussions-thread.919228/page-378#post-18153005

Thank you Jason !

no idea how I got this VU meter instead of the “standard” one. I must have pressed something when I fell asleep 😅. Can anyone share the PDF manual that is on the device? I can’t connect to a computer for a while and would love to know more about hidden settings like this one !

Overall I am happy with this DAP. It’s a great addition to my collection and has definitely its own flavor in tube mode.

I agree with this. While the RS8 is a great machine, its implementation is very different from LP’s to my ears, and not sounding as appealing to me. Different tastes of course!

Maybe a NuTube based card? They’re working on an amp on that style, and maybe some of that tech can be trickled down to an E7 card…

Don’t forget it has TWO extra DAC chips, for a total of four, compared to only two in the Gold edition!

I never had an issue listening to it while charging. I think it’s fine!

I think Bluetooth is one way only? You can stream to the E7, but not stream from it. I’m not sure though!

That’s unfortunate. I assume you have tried different cables and IEMs just to exclude other failures? Good luck with it!!!

Hey @Andykong , I was wondering if you could please forward to Cayin the request to be able to switch off the volume screen when changing the volume. It would be great if we could just rely on the small display up top, as opposed to having to click out of the volume overlay. Thank you!

Not for another year apparently, if that.

I have to admit I am not hearing anything changing sonically while tweaking the voltage slider: I tried with both DD and BA/hybrid IEMs but the result is the same to my ears. No change. Maybe I don’t know what to look for, but nothing obvious is happening in terms of presentation.

, you sure can!

I had the chance to test the N3Ultra in Munich, where I brought my N30LE as well. I have to say I was really impressed by it. Different approach, sure, but what a great sounding, affordable DAP. A winner, no doubt.

Different driver configuration and crossover , I’m sure they’ll sound a bit different…though I don’t know specifically. Might be time for a visit to MT, @tjzurlaaa ? :)

I think it’s ideal, for my taste. Smoothed the Ti a bit, as I felt it was a bit too energetic in the treble area. Everything feels right, with Orpheus.

It is. Currently connected to Traillii Ti.
