    Reply to review by 'sofastreamer' on item 'FiiO M23'

    sadly even the desktop k9 akm has a very mediocre soundstage at best because of the THX amps they use everywhere. Specially in depth and layering it falls noticebly short behind many class A or descrete opa output sections. So the m23 will only be "desktop level" when compared within Fiios own...

    Topping G5

    looking at your sig, you seem to use iems exclusively. in that case the power output of the g5 vs the one of the mojo standalone shouldnt make much of a difference.

    Best portable Bluetooth Dac Amp 2024?

    meanwhile the best money no issue portable bt dac amp is probably the Questyle CMA 18 portable. only thing that pulled me away from buying it is, that you cannot bypass the battery when connected to a power source. this way the built in battery would die too fast for the price of the unit, at...

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    not to forget the ES100 mk2 came out years before the btr15, weighs almost half as much as the btr15 and it has a very good clip already built in, while you have to add the mediocre clip case to the weight of the fiio. all in all you get much longer battery runtime, a smaller and lighter...

    it is not the smallest and lightest! this goes to the Radsone EarStudio ES100 MK2, which is 2,5 x 5,1 x 1,3 cm / 20 g , including a good clip, while you have to add the mediocre clipcase of the ifi to weight and size of the go blu! The ES100 also has much longer battery life and before you ask...

    thank you for the review! i am interested in this dac for a while now. I didnt know there are different output levels on dacs at all. What does the output voltage mean tho? Does it only effect the volume i can reach with different amps or does it also have any other impacts on sound?

    Questyle CMA18 Portable DAC with Headphone Amplifier

    in the ru7 thread many users are reporting a clicking specially in between tracks. there it is said its normal for a 1bit device, which the cma18 clearly is not. What has been reported in the past though is that questile dongles have had a high proneness to wifi and bt waves. i dont know if it...

    ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion

    it seems the thread is kind of dead, but i try again with another question. i bought a pair of new "stock" pads from thomann, which seem to have an adhesive sticker on them. so if i would put them on, they would be glued to the phones, just as the originals that still are on the ether 2. but...
