    Seeking Advice for a Amp/DAC stack [Budget $500]

    I'm relatively new into HiFi but I recently bought some new IEMs (MOONDROP DUSK 3) and I also have a set of speakers that I plan on upgrading, and I plan on experimenting with Closed/Open back headphones after I get a proper stack. Currently this is all at a desk setup that I stream through, so...

    Affordable and easy to access desktop amp for my sensitive IEM :)

    Hello ASR! This is my first time posting! Hope you're all doing well :) I've recently demoed and purchased an Ice Lab Spectrumica and currently have a unit for my personal use on loan from a generous friend of mine. I plugged it into my iFi ZenDac3 (I know it wasn't the greatest purchase) and...

    What justifies high-end IEM pricing?

    Hi all, I’ve been thinking about this and wanted to get some insight from the community. If an IEM exhibits near-perfect minimum phase behavior, excellent channel matching, and a well-targeted frequency response (like the 7Hz Salnotes Zero 2), and its primary limitation is limited treble...

    Hello, recently with my band we created a small home studio in a little room. We are : 2 Guitars , 1 Bass, 1 Drummer.

    Looking for stable IEMs

    I’m looking for new wired IEM that are very stable and don’t break after a few months, while also providing good sound quality. I’ve been using the Truthear x Crinacle Zero:RED IEMs for the past few months, but one side of the earphones is now broken. This always happens with in-ear...

    Recommendation for a smaller nozzle IEM/In-ear

    I bought the Zero Reds and used smaller tips than those in the box. I am looking for another pair that will fit my small ear canals (doesn't need to be an IEM). I use an iPhone 15 pro and an Apple dongle to run my In --ears.

    IEM Dac/ Amp for Moondrop variations.

    I have recently ordered Moondrop variations, I have however already have DX3 pro + Dac/Amp. I am afraid it will fry my IEM, the recent review of Tanchjim Luna is tempting but I don't want to buy it anytime soon. Is it okay to connect variations with Dx3 pro+. I have included both variations spec...

    Exhausted by the audio hobby

    So after years of trying new headphones, headphone amps, DACs I think I am kind of stuck in the audio hobby. In August, I came back from a year-long non reading any reviews or trying new stuff. The amps and DACs are measuring great sounding the same, nothing new and special any more, but I got...

    Looking for bass heavy IEMs

    I'm not an audiophile, just someone who enjoys a lot of bass. I listen to hip hop and am searching for an IEM that can deliver the same deep, thumping bass I get from the OnePlus Nord Buds. Some might call it 'muddy bass,' but that's exactly what I'm after. I'm less concerned about clear vocals...

    Simgot EW300 with different nozzles and filters.

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone tried the new Simgot EW300 yet? I have a pair and I think it's technically quite impressive for the price, but it's also a bit bright/zingy. So I tried to calm the treble with filters and foam but those impacted the midrange too much. I remembered I still...

    Bluetooth earhooks

AZ15, AZ20, etc), FiiO UTWS5 (and 3, although apparently both discontinued in favor of the upcoming...

    Distortion confusion

    Are high-end gear more revealing of source distortion? I've noticed audio distortion a whole lot more when using my EM10 than when I'm using 7Hz Zero 2 or CX 400-II while I'm watching youtube at 1.3x speed. I'm not sure if the issue is the drivers or the audio compression that happens when the...

    Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro were quite fun.

    Samsung has launched a new tws, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. I went to a Samsung store near my house and listened to it and it was quite interesting. Below are the images provided by Samsung. It is said that a Planar tweeter was used. It was quoted by a reviewer's site called 0db in Korea. It's...

    I'm looking for something to hold the IEM around my head so it doesn't tug on my ears.

    I'm experiencing discomfort with my IEM (In-Ear Monitor) cables pulling on my ears. I'm looking for a solution to keep the cables securely in place around my head, preventing them from tugging on my ears during use.

    Which curve for an IEM would be better for music production (no EQ)

    I'm between these two IEM's for producing my music (mainly beats and electronic) but I can't decide which one would be better, I'll add both curves in the thread so if you want could help me decide between these two. However any IEM suggestions for producing music and also enjoying listening...

    Has anyone experienced this coming from asymmetric itd?

    First of all, this is my experience with BRIR. I think it's going to be the same in real life, but please note that it would be unrealistic to place the problem the same and run it as it is. I'm enjoying BRIR, XTC and I try a lot of things in the meantime. Not long ago, I was thinking to myself...

    IEM's - Where do diminishing returns start - cost wise? $10, $15, $20, $30, $50, $200, etc, etc
