    Sennheiser HD 620S Headphone Review

    Clamp is a bit less over time. With my longish but somewhat narrow head, the clamp is needed for a good seal. Also the earcups work well with my somewhat large ears. Have felt no need for EQ, but hope to find some non leather pads that are suitable. I prefer the HD650 sound and comfort, but I...

    Fosi Audio DS2 Portable DAC & Amp Review

    Ordered from their site, discount worked, but it's a "pre-order" not shipping till October 12th. Is the case for other people (I'm in U.S.)?

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Same. USB only isn't of much use (to me anyway).

    WiiM Ultra

    I use a 4k bluray player as CD transport. It has two HDMI outputs, one of which is audio only. Would this work with the Wiim HDMI input? My player otherwise only has coaxial out and apparently the Wiim only has optical in.

    Neutron HiFi DAC V1 Review

    At the moment I have on loan a Questyle M15i DAC dongle. I started listening to it without knowing the price. It sounded fine and seemed to have acceptable power, but it's only feature is the inclusion of a 4.4 balanced output (and I guess the see through window that has a few indicator lights)...

    Qudelix-5K Bluetooth DAC & Headphone Amp

    Late to this, but have you considered using a Roku device for streaming? At least with the TVs that use Roku and I assume it's true of their standalone devices, you can mirror the remote on your phone and then output sound via Bluetooth to the Qudelix. This is a great feature that I'm not sure...

    Neutron HiFi DAC V1 Review

    Agree. I love only having to connect my headphones to the Qudelix and not my phone or laptop. It essentially makes them wireless and with LDAC I hear no downgrade in sound. But the balanced output is another plus that the Neutron doesn't have.

    New Sennheiser HD 620S

    Just got these yesterday. Initial impression of them was good though not wowed. Bass weight seems significantly greater than HD650 so I guess I'm getting a good seal. Moderately strong clamp for me, but not uncomfortable. Not as open sounding to me as some reviews claim, but the passive...

    Fiio DM13, the new old sound of a Discman

    As a Qudelix user, I'm excited for this because of the USB output!

    Why use a Qudelix 5k instead of good Bluetooth headphones?

    In my version (not sure if it's the newest update), it's above whatever PEQ settings you're using. It's labeled XFEED. The range is 0 to 50. In previous versions it was in a separate tab.

    Why use a Qudelix 5k instead of good Bluetooth headphones?

    PEQ and balanced capabilities the obvious ones, but also it has crossfeed which some, myself included like (though I wish it had the Meyer version of crossfeed).

    Schiit Magni Heretic Headphone Amp Review

    Just got this at the clearance price (miracle of miracles considering the state of postal service here, it arrived the same week it shipped!). Haven't hooked it up yet, but I noted the user manual says it can be left on all the time, which is good considering the lack of front power switch or...

    1More Sonoflow NC Headphone Review

    For long portions of the burn-in there was no audible sound. Don't know if that's intentional or if the frequencies were inaudible or what, but regardless I heard no difference between pre and post burn in. I just used them a bit on a short flight. Noise cancelling is good enough, but about an...
