Thanks. I bought a pair based on the recommendations and measurements. FWIW, I couldn't get an acceptable seal with any of the included tips. I'm not sure why. I can get a good seal with silicon/soft tips on other IEMs. I even tried the tips that work for me with other IEMs on the T10s and still...

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006060327064.html I enabled a VPN set to the UK and I see several options with free shipping. In the US AliExpress has coupons/discounts at the beginning of the month as part of "Choice Days". I think they do this in other regions as well.

Actually, it's not. Most places are probably more to your liking where the accepted performance level of gear scales linearly with price and people will be impressed by your expensive purchases.

That's like saying someone isn't qualified to evaluate a car's performance unless they've built their own car from scratch that is a commercial success. :facepalm:

Are there independent measurements of them anywhere to compare to other IEMs?

What is that supposed to mean? o_O

Can your significant other also hear the difference from the kitchen?

The DACs that do the best in Amir's reviews having the highest SINAD don't have the behavior you are describing.

How are you defining "peak performance"? What output metrics are better?

What does the 7th menu setting in the D50 III do? The manual calls it a Bandwidth setting. the Menu calls it "DPLL BW"

Or if you're clipping the input of whatever the DAC is plugged into.

What does "75% output volume at DAC seems to be maximum volume I can listen" mean? Your ears can't take it any louder or you encounter a distortion problem? And how are you determining that you're at 75% of the 5V voltage output? Did you measure it? Unless you're clipping the input stage of the...

Was this a sighted or blind comparison?

No idea if you're still looking, but S.M.S.L has one: https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/852.html

The MR280 arrived today. The sampling rate from the SPDIF output definitely changes. On my Android phone (Pixel 3a XL) I can change the BT sampling rate and bit depth for LDAC (with developer mode enabled). The phone defaults to LDAC with the MR280, but it works with AptX, AptX-HD, AAC, & SBC...

Glad it's working for you. It sounds like you're just using the analog outputs? I mostly wanted Bluetooth with LDAC to Coax and optical SPDIF. The analog outputs came along with it. Not sure if they will be used, but I have them in case. I skipped the BR13 over the resampling confusion though...

Doesn't the BR13 resample everything? The product page is somewhat confusing. I ordered one of these to check it out: https://www.aoyint.com/english/product/mr280

Is it possible to change the gain and filters on the Moondrop Dawn Pro without using an app by some combination of button presses/holds? I'm testing it out mainly from a PC and it would nice if they showed PC users some love.

I wasn't suggesting it myself, but trying to interpret ssn22's post. I likewise believe that amirm would post the results regardless whether they are poor or not. Edit: It looks like I might have a Topping A50 III in a few days with no companion D50 III for about a month thanks to Shenzenaudio...

I think he's trying to complain that the A50 III wasn't also tested since the D50 III and A50 III are sort of a set and suggesting that Topping is trying to hide something by not sending it. Or, maybe that the A50 III was tested, but the results weren't released because the results are bad.
