    Best cheap USB-C headphone dongles?

    Just tried with the three dongles, on both Android phone et Windows PC with both Crinacle IEM and HD6XX. I cannot hear any crackling with the CB1200U or the CX31993+MAX97220. With the CX-Pro CX31993 I can hear very faint crackling if i am really careful and look for them. It's even less...

    Best cheap USB-C headphone dongles?

    With the CB1200U, if I really focus and am in a very quiet room, I can hear a tiny little bit of noise. So it's slightly more than the CX31993, but nowhere near the CX31993+MAX97220 Yes I find that very weird regarding the power of the CX31993+MAX97220. On my laptop I could even reach 100...

    Best cheap USB-C headphone dongles?

    Hello, I received today 3 dongles purchased on Alliexpress. After some not so scientific testing this afternoon, below are my findings: I did the same test on my Windows 11 PC and the results were the same. What came as a surprise is the CX31993+MAX97220. It has noticeable noise, has the...

    Smaller / more comfortable Truthear Crinacle Zero Red ?

    Thank you for your recommendation. But looking at them they seem as big as the Crinacle Zero. My goal was to have a much smaller/shallower pair that would not extend out of my ear.

    Smaller / more comfortable Truthear Crinacle Zero Red ?

    Hello all, I really enjoy my Truthear Crinacle Zero Blue but have two issues with them: 1. Sometimes too much bass 2. Too big. They don't seat well in my ear, and extend way outside my ear (I must have smaller ears). The Red version seems to solve the bass, but I really want smaller, better...

    Can you provide more info on that please ? I am looking quite often (almost dily) on Amazon.de for those two specific products and I never see them at this price. Also looking, at idealo.de (price comparator) I never see them at this price. Not saying you are wrong, I want you to be right. Can...

    Focal Aria floorstander owners?

    What will folow is just MY experience and MY opinion, take it as such: I listened and compared the MA Silver 500 7G to Focal Aria 926 and 936 in the same room. For me the elevated treble of the MA was not sibilant or hurting, but definitely didn't sound natural. The Focal Aria treble sounded...

    (Europe) Master Deals Thread on Audio Product Sales

    Hell of a deal I listen to those yesterday compared to the Focal Aria 926, Aria 936 and Monitor Audio Silver 500. I didn't like the MA because of the emphasis on the highs that didn't sound natural to me. But the Linton did really well, especially considering the price. I still prefered the...

    Focal Aria vs Arendal 1723(S) ?

    Yes it is ! And regarding this post, there are now measurement of both 1723S tower and Focal Aria 936 K2 on Audioholics to compare : https://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/focal-aria-k2-936 I guess Focal Aria measure a bit better, but it's not a clear winner. And I am indeed scared...

    Focal Aria 936 or

    Hello, FYI : Just found a new set of measurements on Audioholics for Focal Aria 936 K2. My understanding is that they should be almost identical to the normal Aria 936. I am not sure I am alowed to post the link directly here, but if you just do a search for "Audioholics Focal Aria 936" you...

    MSO : minidsp vs Arendal 1723 dsp

    Thanks! Except if I find a good deal on a SVS then I will go with the Arendals and if not enough I will add a minidsp later.

    MSO : minidsp vs Arendal 1723 dsp

    Hi, Thanks for all your answers. The processor would be a Denon X4700 which has two LFE outputs but not independent (of my understanding). Therefore, the minidsp would be only for Subs integration and not for full EQ since this would be taken care by Audissay. Arendal PEQ can indeed set the Q...

    MSO : minidsp vs Arendal 1723 dsp

    Hello everyone, I am going to acquire 2 subs and for proper integration I was planning to use MSO. When looking at the integrated DSP features of Arendal sub that can be set with the remot app, I wonder if a minidsp is really mandatory. Arendal 1723 Sub DSP: - LPF frequency and slope - HPF...

    Focal Aria vs Arendal 1723(S) ?

    Thanks all for your answers. Comparing the measurements of soundstagenetwork.com, the Aria 936 seem indeed to have wider dispersion than the MA Silver 500 7G. But I will keep in mind the MA and try to listen to them.

    Focal Aria vs Arendal 1723(S) ?

    Hello VintageFlanker, I am indeed in Paris, France and can find great deals on Focal Arias. I am moving end of the year in Germany though, and i am not so sure how to transport such big towers, but that's another problem... I read several posts saying they prefer Aria 936 vs F206, some saying...

    Focal Aria vs Arendal 1723(S) ?

    I am afraid this won't be enough in term of SPL for a >35m2 living room, listening at 3m and for Home Theater + Music purpose, no ?

    Focal Aria vs Arendal 1723(S) ?

    Thank you for your answer. I would also think that Focal is a safer bet for wide dispersion, and music in general. The only thing that bother me is the fact that the center will not be allign with the tower tweeter then, and the heights would be the Aria 906 which are much bigger & heavier than...
