I didn’t know that a USB-C cable was an option. I have used mine with a 3.5mm connector periodically for two years with no problem. I assume you have tried different devices and tried switching the cable left to right.

I really value the few hours of peace and quiet I get each week to sit and listen to music uninterrupted. Looking to elevate the experience beyond the excellent IEM’s reviewed here brought me to the E3’s, but very difficult to justify at $2700 CAD. With the Noire X at 1/2 the cost and 95% of the...

I just received the Chu II DSP. My Windows 11 Dell laptop is having difficulty consistently recognizing the DSP cable on the USB-C port. I have been using the Apple branded USB-C to 3.5mm dongle with the 7Hz Zero 2 IEM's flawlessly. Tried switching back and forth to compare sound and had to...

I use that Behringer for watching movies out in the yard with the family. Tried to go wireless but could not find a low latency option that didn’t crackle intermittently. Shudder to think how the $40 HA400 would measure but it is good enough for our purpose. This Fosi unit looks like a nicer...

Well said. Multiple sub-$50 IEM options provide outstanding objective and subjective results. A great time for Hifi consumers, not so great for boutique hi-end brands.

How disappointing. I still keep an eye on the car audio world and Down 4 Sound has become prolific. Another example of marketing and price ruling the category. Obviously, Amp-Dyno testing has limitations.

Have purchased three of these little class D amps in the last two years, even though I only have an on-going use for one. Thought the ZA3 might be number four, but I will wait. Though I likely can’t hear the difference would love to see something in this price range with specs closer to the...

I got excited thinking this was the new Salnotes Zero 2 that I just preordered. I have been enjoying this first version for a couple years now so great to have confirmation that it is a great sounding IEM. Such amazing performance can be had for so little that it really begs the question, where...

Nice to see another car audio product hit the bench. Doesn’t appear that I will be reworking my old school Class AB powered 4-way active setup anytime soon but always keep my eyes open for a more efficient Class D with good measurements.

Beautiful Samoyed. Rare these days. We had two as show dogs growing up. Wonderful personality, but the shedding, especially in spring!

The recent chip amps are cranking out 150 watts of clean power (Fosi V3 for example). I could be convinced however to quintuple the amp budget to get a Topping PA7. A little cleaner, a little more power, and much classier appearance, more befitting of a Revel. In practice there would be very...

Which test parameters do you feel prevent the recent lower priced amps from performing well with the M16?

There have been a few amazing inexpensive speaker amps tested here lately, starting from $100. Pick one that fits your budget.

I just bought a Flex last Christmas. A perfect solution except for the need to use an HDMI audio extractor. Now this!

Thought for sure I would hear a difference in frequency response through my TruthEar Zero IEM’s, but no. The only difference I heard was a wider sound stage in sample 1.

I’m pretty sure that Amirm’s test results show that LDAC, on the Topping at least, does not rob the sound of vitality or life.

Another great review; another set of IEM’s added to the collection that I absolutely didn’t need. With this level of quality at such a low price, I couldn’t afford not to buy them. Looking forward to comparing these with the original TruthEar Zeroes which I use daily and love. Hopefully...

An old post but wanted to follow up. I sent an email to JTech regarding JTD18G-H5CH2 and they confirmed “Yes, this device supports audio sample rates up to 192kHZ.”

Some of us have projectors, so using the display device for switching/preamp/audio extractor duty isn’t an option.

24/192? I have seen user comments of a 48khz limit with some, but have more faith in your opinion. Unfortunately the tested Amazon basics extractor does not support hdmi 2.0. Thanks for your response.
