Truthear is fantastic. The Hexa is still one of the best sounding IEM's to my ears.

I get that the performance is great, especially for the price (Thanks Wiim!) but the odd behaviours spook me a bit.

I'm more of a 'preference boundaries' kind of person anyway but these seem to be geared towards monitoring instead. I used to have some 200 series Shure IEM's back in the day and they sounded unimpressive but flat and with good subbass extension. I think considering the fact that they pre-date...

Simplicity over using another box and optical cables can be run parallelle to high voltage cables without issues so it can be a good solution if you're running power and signal through a channel in the wall.

I love what Fosi Audio is doing. 2024 is their year. They have a lot of product SKU's with affordable, high quality solutions (or fun tube stuff if that's your thing). There's only a few manufacturers that spark my interest when they release something new and Fosi has now become one of them...

I hope for Fosi that they verify your age before tempting you to gamble for savings.

Wait, Denon is/was owned by the Volkswagen group back then?

I feel like this is the perfect all-in-one desktop solution. Swap the headphone amplifier for a network streamer, eARC and a 12v trigger and you have the perfect livingroom device.

Put a WiiM Ultra with cover art on top and you have a really pretty stack in my opinion.

Even if you hate a reviewer with every fiber in your body, you should be worried about the bigger picture. I think there's a poem for that. Something along the lines of, "First they came for Cameron and I did not speak out because I didn't like Cameron." Every reviewer should feel absolutely no...

What worries me the most is what this does to small review platforms and those who are just starting out. Who has been targeted in the past and took down their review or altered their review? Who is just simply affraid to be honest? If only the thought crosses their mind that they might not be...

I love these gems! $180, gets casually compared to an APx555 analyzer and goes to the top of the chart. Incredible!

Speakers are so much easier in this regard. Flat slope good

In working on figuring out my own target preference, I found the eargain effect (3Khz) to create natural imaging when it's spot on or widen the soundstage when it is reduced. When it's increased too much it almost feels like a mono source with all the sound coming from the front. So it could be...

I was struggling to see why you'd set a target curve as an EQ instead of a filter that brings your output device closer to that target. But then I saw that you can load in your own source frequency response a la AutoEQ or CrinGraph. That's pretty flipping sweet. I hope that this pushes more...
