    Flux Lab Acoustics FA-10, FA-10 Pro, FA-12, FCN-10 & FA-12s Amplifiers - Summit-Fi for the People?: Reviews, Impressions & Discussion

    The circuit board inside isn't designed to be balanced (or better worded as "differential") . The XLR inputs/outputs you see there are just for convenience. In other words. In the scenario you were using this device with noisey power coming from your home-wall or personal computer, then it...

    Flux Lab Acoustics FA-10, FA-10 Pro, FA-12, FCN-10 & FA-12s Amplifiers - Summit-Fi for the People?: Reviews, Impressions & Discussion

    VOLOT amp was the balanced version of the FA-10. FluxLab Mentor also exists now as well.

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    Burn in helped with mine lose it's etch feeling over time. Unless my brain just adapted. But it was always dynamic for me from the start.

    I also own this, was such a nice investment for my Chord Hugo2 portable. I can even implement a midbass pEQ boost (on windows).....and now I not only get a bass boost.....but a punchy/slammy bass boost!

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    I have been using the Ibasso PB5 Osprey portable amp with my Nan-7 planar and it fully drives that with bass authority as well. I've been using it chained to my Gustard A22 dac. Such a super slammy combo for planars that need the source-help.

    Need recommendations for IEM cable builders that offer great customisation!

    The Hart Audio concept is just to use a mini-XLR plug and adapters from that. Technically you can request such a set from any company/person out there. Also you can just use a full size 4pin XLR plug and use adapters.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    No idea about the main question. I personally find the Hugo2 needs a little EQ to compensate for its innate playback. Some reducing of the late airy treble extension it has. And a midbass boost for a more punchy sound. So I would vote for the stationary setup that allows for that.

    "these IEMs require powerful sources. When paired with the right equipment, the Quattro can deliver an outstanding audio performance. For example, when I change the source of DAC from RU6 to Fiio Q5" That is not a matter of going from a weak power output to a higher one. But the difference of...

    Flux Lab Acoustics Dual Mono Headphone Amplifier, VOLOT - Mythical Giant or Giant Killer ? News, Speculation, Impressions, reviews and discussion

    Trying to seek more bass authority in the bass region of my Volot. I noticed the VOLOT is quite transparent to DACs. But trying to color it with pre-amp or double-amping and it generally does not act transparent, and just does it's own thing. It just doesn't work. Bit using my Gustard A22...

    Need recommendations for IEM cable builders that offer great customisation!

    Avoid ConX swappable connectors. Major point of failure. Also I don't like that it's some cheap brass rather than pure copper. I would suggest the company called AltaluneAudio. And ask to customize your cable and for it to use the OE Audio swappable connectors and plugs, those OE connectors...

    High-Purity Headphone Cable LL-4.4A Is Officially Released!

    True, but imagine with their corporate connections and bulk purchase planning. It probably is doable.

    Are there any other dongles besides the Qudelix 5K that come with an iPhone app to adjust EQ?

    I guess there is always the E1DA PowerDAC dongle. It probably never lost its relevance in all this time. It has a pEQ. If you want, you can use adapters for the Fiio utws5 truly wireless modules and get pEQ to your headphones or IEMs.

    Some DAP advice

    Favorite at that price range would he the Lotoo PAW 6000 (especially used price). Small with a very long battery life. And a playback that has a really slammy bass. But it's tone is overall reference-neutral, not warm. But let me emphasize again, despite not being warm it has a really punchy...

    Thanks for clarifying. Oh, by the way if you connect the Hugo2 to a windows PC and use Peace/Equalizer APO you can pEQ out the extra treble air harshness out of the Hugo2 presentation. Works out really great. Also Hugo2 can get quite slammy in the midbass after EQ from Peace/Equalizer APO...

    High-Purity Headphone Cable LL-4.4A Is Officially Released!

    So much advertising points for the copper of the wire. What about the core of the 3.5mm plugs and the solder? Are the 3.5mm plugs brass-mix cores or pure-copper cores? If not, please invest into the plugs and solder for newer products.
