    SMSL SH-6 + 7hz Timeless sound too bright?

    i just tried one of the thicker tips and the bass improved a lot. still needs a ton of eq but this is finally something i can work with. just weird that pushing the thinner ones into my ear didn't work at all. i think the audio seal test was also very helpful as that's where i first noticed the...

    SMSL SH-6 + 7hz Timeless sound too bright?

    SMSL SH-6 + 7hz Timeless sound too bright?

    in that case its probably the iem that is the problem because the tip is super thick and short..

    SMSL SH-6 + 7hz Timeless sound too bright?

    i have used an eq to get rid of that spike but no matter what i do i can't bring the bass up.. with my warm focusrite interface i didnt notice it so much but with this transparent dac/amp combo it sounds super thin... i tried most of the eartips but none of them improves anything

    SMSL SH-6 + 7hz Timeless sound too bright?

    I just got the sh-6 as my first headphone amp to connect my 7hz timeless to my SU-9n and it sounds very bright. When i was using my focusrite soundcard the iems were already pretty bright but now it just sounds wrong. Everything else i plug the IEMs into sounds pretty bright too but i thought...

    (easy to drive) wired IEMs for pixel 4a? <250€

    for reference the asr review of the phone: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/google-pixel-4a-smartphone-audio-review.16251/ what headphones would you even use with this device? i got it because i wanted a cheap, kinda small and kinda modern smartphone with a headphone...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX3Pro DAC and Headphone Amp

    have you gotten a replacement unit? how is the sound now? i've never had any issues with amazon. they even refund any shipping and import fees if you send something back to another country/marketplace. it could also be that the device is too linear and revealing for the recordings you have. i'm...

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    only receptor.. it also wouldnt make sense because the entire purpose of this device is digital to analog conversion

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    the difference is probably negligible, you're probably better off saving for the next generation or something with built-in parametric eq.

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    seems like it's already 1 month old? can't you just use a generic xmos driver?

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    yeah you can change brightness and screen timeout. the su-6 has a brightness setting, but i'm not sure if the screen timeout can be turned off. (which is unfortunate because that white text looks damn cool)

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    yes that's exactly how i tested so it's possible. but i think there's slightly more to audio than what you can measure with these methods. i wish i hadn't heard the su-9n, it had saved me a ton of money and i had never known and lets be honest, the su-6 looks damn sick, especially with it's...

    Amazon Music appalling sound quality

    exactly what i meant (sterile), it sounds somehow too clean, as if it was AI upscaled. the other posts claiming it sounds like low bitrate, i cannot understand. i assume they are listening over the website which indeed sounds awful.

    Amazon Music appalling sound quality

    so.. nobody noticed that it sounds sterile?

    Amazon Music appalling sound quality

    make sure you use the desktop app. the website uses a really bad bitrate. but i find the recordings somewhat sterile. maybe i'm too used to muddy youtube quality... or is there a hidden eq that i have to disable?

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    Is optical the ideal connection method from TV to the SU-6? yes, bluetooth can have pairing and connectivity issues depending on the situation (might not apply for you) usb (from a pc) will be noisy if the dac & sources volume is not set close to max level (for this you should set amplifier...

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    no idea i didn't try that one i only tried those 2 dacs and a focusrite soundcard, so better don't put too much value in my words i can barely believe my own findings... still hoping someone else could explain what i feel. i'm pretty sure that it's not placebo, i tried it for several hours and...

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    it's hard to explain or even grasp, another definition would be "more analogue or warmth" i guess, i really hate paying 130€ more for a feature that i can't even clearly hear when a-b'ing (though there is always a half second delay when i switch inputs) but this is how much the music "feels"...
