Not fussed regarding the chips or any pops etc, I'm so not a critical listener for such things ;) , as long as it transmits a signal leading audio to my iems I'll be happy enough. I don't think it has parametric eq, it has the hiby mseb equalisation which is fine, I've used it before on a...

Introduced me to a folktronica band called Tunng with their release “mothers daughter” way back in mid 2000s as well as countless others, I’d absolutely love to spend a weekend going through his record collection. A mate from Glasgow knows him quite well as her music/album label has been...

You will need to get a suitable lightning to usb c cable with pass through audio functionality, such as the cable below which I own and occasionally use with my iPhone XS/Aful Snowy Night dac/amp dongle SHANLING L3 Neotech Pure Silver Audio Cable Type-C / Lightning to Type-C Interface for UA3...

I was introduced to Jill Scott by Gilles Peterson on his R1 show way back in mid 2000’s, the track was “Golden” and soundtracked the summer of 2005 for me. https://tidal.com/browse/track/5307692?u

There’s also permanent thread bans as I have found out/experienced for pointing out/reporting hateful/misogynistic comments regarding greta thunberg on the humour thread a couple of years ago, I merely pointed out that I found “insert names of 3 political figures here” much more damaging to...
