    My Gigaworks T3 died, I would like to upgrade for better.

    Depends a lot on how much you want to spend. But if on a budget the Edifier MR4 paired with a 10 inch sub will be pretty hard to beat for a desktop 2.1.

    E1DA 9038D Review (portable DAC & Amp)

    Hi Jimbo, managed to find a copy of the UGreen adaptor. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001734621395.html It works !! (On my LG V40 ThinQ but not on my other, even older phone). I can plug my phone to the Khadas Tone Board, which in turn is plugged to a JDS Atom and a HE4XX. Works...

    Amir's 2023 Pacific Audio Fest Report

    Jacqueline du Pre's Elgar with John Barbirolli would be her iconic recording. The other 2 being her Dvorak and Schumann recordings. The Hadyn, not that much.

    E1DA 9038D Review (portable DAC & Amp)

    Sieved through this thread via the search function, but there doesn't seem to any direct answer yet. Has any had success with such a cable or hub on Android phones ? Tried a few of those on available online, but none seem to work. Its either connecting to the DAC dongle or charging the...

    Started my IEM journey

    Typical silicon eartips irritate my ears after an hour or so. So haven't been comfortable with them for long use sessions. Recently found TPU based ones seem to not have same irritation effect on me. So if you guys have problems with silicon tips, TPU ones may be worth a try.

    Edifier MR4 measurements (It's probably been upgraded.)

    I bought one of these from another seller during the 11.11 sales last year. A little more expensive now, but probably will find similar prices when there's a sale going on. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32864150091.htm

    Edifier MR4 measurements (It's probably been upgraded.)

    These can be found for as low as US$65/- on Taobao, China's Amzon. In both Black and White options. Got a set myself for my work desk. As nearfield, low volume (loudness) speakers, they are superb as the measurements here suggest. They are less than 2 feet away from my ears and the...

    Sennheiser HD800S Review (Headphone)

    You are perpetuating a myth, not an objective fact. Analogous to "vinyl sounds more organic".

    Mixing and matching 3" or 4" desktop speakers with small subwoofers.

    Noticed that the output levels were 85- 90dB at 1 meter. I think for nearfield, desk bound listening, that's pretty high a volume. Usually, such small speakers would less than that distance away from the ears and even then, the volume is lower than that. Probably in the 75-80db range. But like...

    Mixing and matching 3" or 4" desktop speakers with small subwoofers.

    The MR4's look a good fit considering that its more a powered monitor rather than a bluetooth speaker. Since there is already a EX-5 available for source + Bluetooth duties. And that it already has a sub-out connection saves a lot of hassle too! The measurements look amazing (for its size...

    Mixing and matching 3" or 4" desktop speakers with small subwoofers.

    Thanks. Have considered the iLoud Micro with a 6.5" or 8" sub just to flesh out that 40~55hz range that's critical in a lot of quieter music tracks. Need to find a place to audition the iLoud's. As for the Kali IN-UNF, that desktop bass unit is taking too much prime estate for my friend's...

    Mixing and matching 3" or 4" desktop speakers with small subwoofers.

    Interesting ! Didn't know they existed. Definitely worth exploring in terms of suitability, though price point is a little over the boundary limits. Thanks !

    Mixing and matching 3" or 4" desktop speakers with small subwoofers.

    A friend was looking at adding a desktop system for his office desk but came up onto some road blocks. Mostly from the reason of limited space on the desk. The most obvious choice being 2.1 setups from PC gaming speaker sets or TV soundbar sets. However, from what I have seen, they are really...

    理性派HiFi X5 Speaker Review

    That should be referring to Shopee.com.tw . A popular online shopping platform in Southeast Asia as well as Taiwan. " 理性派 " can be intepreted as " objective / rational party/sect " if taken literally.

    How to do level match with headphone as load

    That's matching the input signal levels. Not the SPL which is Sound pressure levels. A given signal level with a specific energy output will give different SPLs to different speakers and headphones as their sensitivity and resistances are not the same. A microphone capable of measuring the...

    Any recommendations for a DAP?

    My suggestion ? Get a Topping G5 and connect it to your iPhone. Plenty of power and perfect objective performance. Amir has a review of it here, worth a read.
