Well since you asked nicely… 🤪 here was last nights choice of gear. :) The MUB1 leans warm and smooth up top with NOS filter, or more V shaped using Fast or LL Fast filters. The device is tiny and packs a punch with great battery life over Bluetooth too. I find it super convenient and to sound...

As opposed to fake honest?

My user experience > Head Fi income (@warrenpchi don’t ban me! 🤪)

I haven’t had this issue yet. 🤞🏽

Meanwhile I’m sitting here wondering why so many of you don’t use an ad blocker…

Oh so you did end up buying one?! What do you think! I am really hooked on the sound of this thing. The balance of (tweakable) warmth and detail to me is really satisfying. I love the tonality with the STORM + Sovereign Symphony too despite the hit to technicals and sheer drive.

It pains me to say it but I was okay with seeing them win again… Arsenal fans can be insufferable at times. I know they’re looking nice now but for some reason they all act like they are gods gift to football and have won so much with Arteta already, it doesn’t make sense.

Sure, just give me a shout.

I have an IEC-711 clone and have taken several measurements. I also have a Lotoo Mjolnir, AKSP3000T, Quloos MUB1 and Subtonic Storm + NightJar Sovereign Symphony and Blue Hour 4W cablethat you can listen to if you ever wanna make the trek north. 😂 the rest of my gear are CIEMs.

Heat index in Houston came close to 115 degrees a few times already. ITS NOT EVEN JUNE. I hate it so much.

Hey there! I am at the NW side of Houston basically right on the outskirts of Tomball... so I am not quite close to you but that’s not surprising given how big this city is! 😂

I purchased the additional black SP3000T with the kick stand. I’ll report back if that kick stand is annoying or adds too much bulk which is my concern. It looks much nicer than this yellow though so there’s that! I am still loving the sound of this DAP. Hybrid level 1 or 2 with high current...

Volur has LID technology. The OI of your source shouldn’t make a difference.

Yes I believe with D4 filter I was able to add a little bit of bite and extension but it still wasn’t quite what I look for up top. I had gathered that maybe DX180 wasn’t quite aiming for that either. Thanks for the feedback!

If my reference point told me DX260 was too smooth in the treble region, where does DX180 sit relative to this? @stephenkostas @DiFazio

I am not sure I agree with this, for some of us the social aspect of it is what’s keeping us around. If I had no “head fi friends” I would have been out of here a while ago truthfully speaking. There’s a lot of people here I know on a personal level now and chat with more than I do with my “IRL”...

I love the tonality of the SP3000T. It’s so inviting with a lovely balance of warmth and detail.

I also didn’t quite care for it when I heard it at CanJam NYC, I preferred the V14 and VX over it. The CIEM-only QDC Empress looks interesting though.

Have you compared it to the Quloos MUB1 by any chance? I am loving having a Bluetooth DAC/amp, the convenience is just so nice and something like the MUB1 actually sounds pretty damn fantastic in terms of drive although I do wish the tonality was more neutral. Regardless I think it’s a great...

You said Romeo?

My assumption would be that it’s heavily shielded to help mitigate tube noise. I use my 2.4ghz network as it has more range in my home than my 5ghz network does.

@JasonNYC is there any information on how much extra bulk the kickstand adds on the additional cases? Perhaps a full sideview?

"setups" for me I suppose as I am still rocking the Storm + Sovereign Symphony at home and Craft Ears Omnium CIEM for the gym set. The piece de resistance... Lotoo Mjolnir, for me this is the ultimate reference "DAP" yet never sounds sterile to my ears. Just pure playback, never imposing, and...

I mean… it could also be “worse” than Amber Pearl, price doesn’t always mean “better” in this hobby imo 🤷🏽‍♂️
