Love these new black/gold color schemes from Cayin. So much swag.

Entered the pairing mode and nothing happens. Maybe my BT 5.0 adapter isn't backward compatible with Hugo 2's 2.1. Gonna get a new one that explicitly says compatible with 2.1.

I can enter pairing mode on my BT adapter. How do I enter pairing mode on the Hugo 2? Does your adapter connect to Hugo 2 automatically after the adapter enters pairing mode? Thanks.

How do I go about pairing a bluetooth adapter (plugged into a laptop) with no screen to the Hugo 2? Is this even possible?

Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you! I've perhaps found a solution with more but smaller boxes: A Samsung smartphone with Dual Audio feature, or a DAP with USB-C output + a dual streaming Nintendo Switch BT adapter -> -> digital audio -> a BT receiver -> analog audio But D10 is definitely...

I'm looking for a device that can output a digital audio signal (USB/SPDIF/Bluetooth) and an analog audio signal (3.5mm/RCA) simultaneously. Between the two, I need the digital audio signal to be of high quality. One solution I can think of is: A DAP with spdif out -> spdif splitter -> digital...

Great advice. Adding to it: if you don't like to stick Velcro onto your expensive device or even onto your leather case, wrap wide one-wrap velcro around each of your device, stack them, and then one-wrap them together.

I thought the original ones were Li-Ion?

I just tried. Tool-less, these overspec'ed batteries work too. Keeppower is a named brand, whereas battery space is custom built in the USA. Pick your poison...

Agree with your impressions. Idk how, but there is a severe lack of new toy syndrome when I'm with my E500. Even on the day I got something new in the mail, no matter how expensive they are, they'd be lucky if they took away half of E500's time on my ears. I can't remember the last time I put on...

Finally (no pun intended), we have a 5128 measurement of a Final IEM, the E500. Look at this beautiful downward slope.

Mine is AXXX too. FWIW when I open up the unit to change batteries, the writing on the board says HPA-23RM 230429_V3.0, whatever that means. PS this is the model and spec of the battery used in the 23RM, in case anyone is interested...

Congrats on all the success and recognition. Yall deserve it.

Lol! Quoting my old post. You can definitely leave a message in your order asking them to flip the connector for you, since the entire battery pack was custom built. Here are two comprehensive measurements of 18650 batteries. MJ1 really is a solid choice for low amp usage...

Just get this https://www.batteryspace.com/custom-li-ion-18650-battery-3-635v-3500mah-12-7wh-2a-rate-inr18650-mj1-w-connector.aspx

The fact that they put 3.5mm on the voltage out is just dumb. Discourages people from plugging in full size headphones into the voltage out for no reason. I can't imagine anyone buying this and using a 1/8-to-1/4 adapter to listen to headphones, even if the voltage out indeed works better for them.

Two things went wrong, not your fault but how finicky this thing is. 1) Shouldn't have used the line out. I'm surprised you didn't hear distortion with the line out. Instead, turn the Hugo 2 volume to half-ish (around green). 2) Try the voltage out. To my ears the voltage out is a pretty...

It seems that the Hugo 2 and the 23RM can be connected by the shortest RCA cable (if you can call it that) in the world by somehow connecting these Switchcraft angled RCA connectors directly. Suggestions are welcomed... https://www.switchcraft.com/assets/1/24/3502RA_SERIES_CD.pdf

If sonics is what you're after, Edition 5 and 8 are pretty beatable with a $300 budget in 2024. Sorry Audio 46...

I got it and sold it half a year ago https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/four-4-intime-iems.55558/ Nothing special about it, really. It's similar to the Sora Light Unique Bass.

Unless one's ear canal is acoustically identical to 711, the dip will not compensate the frequency of the standing wave exactly. And now you get a dip next to a peak, which sounds more peaky than the peak by itself. In my audition of the Storm, when I complained about the treble glare, I was...

It is an assortment of sizes. The smaller/thinner ones, besides being placed at the end of the nozzle in the normal way, are often used to deep-fit a wider-bore eartip onto a narrower IEM nozzle, by placing them inside of the eartip bore but behind the tip of the IEM nozzle. Very specific, I...

It is never too late to step up your o-ring game lol

Would love to hear it next to my 23RM

Love to see Asian dudes chasing their dreams. Taking care of your local musicians' monitoring needs is a great way to have a long term success in this business. Some of the biggest IEM names in Asia started this way.
