Symphonium Audio - New Singaporean IEM Manufacturer
Sounds amazing on Crimson! Spacious, sparkly, and musical. I'm wondering if people might find this one too bright though(I don't, but I can see how someone might). Looking forward to impressions and reviews of Titan. It's definitely one of the more interesting upcoming IEMs.- SweetCans928

Sound Rhyme impression thread
I was way too high when I noticed the lettering on my SR8 case had moved. Actual footage from the moment: lol. Hopefully they can have their cases etched in the future. I haven't listened to my SR8 in a while, so it's been nice revisiting it today. Still a very, very nice IEM. And no hiss with...- SweetCans928

Yes to both! Chess boards and headphones are the only two things I'm always on the look out for at thrift stores and other places where you might find old, forgotten stuff. Just recently got one of those boards that you can hang on the wall and play with magnetic pieces. It's pretty cool because...- SweetCans928

Epic and creative post, I read it in the voice of a server at a fancy restaurant who was reading their signature dishes to me, and now I'm hungry. :clap: Unrelated, but I just read an article about NASA sending a message in a bottle into space designed to communicate with aliens, later this...- SweetCans928

Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions
You win! This is dope. It kind of has a horror movie vibe to it. Music can evoke so many emotions, but this is the first time in a while I've experienced that distinct "I'm about to be stabbed by a dude in a hockey mask" feeling. :knife:- SweetCans928

Dang, I never heard this. Deftones fans might be interested. Someone mixed Chino's vocals from a Crosses track with remixed instrumentation(swapping the electronic bits with crunchy guitar bits, which the uploader apparently played themselves), and it is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretttttay...- SweetCans928

I wasn't entirely sure which Watercooler member I said hi to at first! I was going to find out by asking on here who could do the best Darth Vader impression lol. You would win for sure.

DX260 Digital Audio Player, a New avenue to your music. Preorders have started. Easily replaceable battery. NEW Firmware Update! 2.02
I actually haven't had that happen since updating the firmware. It was happening at random times, but mostly when turning it on, it would lock up shorly after booting into Android. I'm just curious what filters you guys are liking? I'm mainly jumping around between fast, slow, and NOS depending...- SweetCans928

It's all good! Thank you for the sentiment, although I personally don't care for that sort of thing. For me, it is the ick haha. One time they(I don't know who exactly) came over the intercom at the airport and made everyone stop and applaud for us as we walked through. I swear, I will remember...- SweetCans928

This little dongle(fiio ka11) is surprisingly strong. Powers the Crimson pretty easily. Also powers the Scarlet Mini! Which I tried at CJNYC. It's good that I only had a short demo, because I think all dat bass would wear out its welcome after a while. I will have to rethink what is "above...- SweetCans928

Thank you! Crowds can always be a bit of a gamble, although I am usually ok. But at Canjam you have a lot more people closely lingering near or behind you...nothing that can be done about it, nature of the beast. I don't blame anyone one bit. I just have to keep working. And there will be tons...- SweetCans928

SONY IER-Z1R
I connect straight to the controller. And yeah I imagine SR8 out of the PS5 controller would be Hiss City. You have to use IEMs that aren't too sensitive with that controller, or at least I do. I guess I do have an ifi iematch+ though, just thought of that... I think I might try to connect my...- SweetCans928

Well, I went to Canjam! But within like 10 minutes of being there, a panic attack started to set in and I had to leave(I have bad ptsd from the military, which sometimes makes it difficult for me to be around a lot of people in crowded places, unfortunately). I came back later when I was feeling...- SweetCans928

Playing God of War Valhalla with Z1R and DAMN, these really are amazing for adding to an engaging and immersive experience with how spacious they are. One of the best IEMs for gaming as well as music imo. Every game sounds epic.- SweetCans928

DX260 Digital Audio Player, a New avenue to your music. Preorders have started. Easily replaceable battery. NEW Firmware Update! 2.02
For me, it does charge if I select charging mode on. I don't use it personally, just to help keep the device cool and the battery healthy. Also, if you use usb dac mode with "charging on" while you are already at 100%, the device becomes powered by USB rather than the battery. This is according...- SweetCans928

CanJam NYC 2024 (March 9-10, 2024)
This was helpful, thanks. I was stressing a bit, but there just won't be time for everything. It's probably hard to learn anything conclusive from a quick audition in a setting like Canjam anyway(I've only been to one other, much smaller headphone convention), especially when you consider how...- SweetCans928

Qudelix-T71 Thread | 8V RMS, PEQ & 7.1 Surround USB DAC/Amp
Yes! It wasn't much of an issue before, but it could definitely be a slight distraction at times while playing something(scary) in the dark, while you are otherwise immersed. I really don't need the screen to ever turn on by itself anyway. I'm fine with it while powering on, or swapping...- SweetCans928

If you're going to Canjam, I'll trade you my Obravo Cupid for a NYC hotdog. And I will be the winner in that trade haha. Actually, it would be very cool if we had some sort of IEM "pay it forward" program. I've got too many IEMs that aren't quite worth the hassle of selling, but are otherwise...- SweetCans928
