Not that bad actually

It just feels like right on the lower side of the mids it just drops off

Almost like the bass player fell asleep before the band started playing

And the drummer has two broken feet

Real shame to be honest considering the Piston 2 (or 3, can't remember) that I have are really nice

you can still buy those

i had a crazy dream where i put mmcx on everything

it was awful but my hand eye coordination was godlike

I broke the MMCX antenna port off of my Mi5s mainboard

Why I got a Mi6

I'd use my Pistons but the Mi6 is Type-C only

No 3.5mm port

So have to use shitty dongle DAC

get a pixel 2 usb-c dongle

its actually legit good

delite this

warm up your dongle for maximum bass texture and crunchy smooth highs

do you know if it works on xiaomi @HEKTIK

dont see why not

wow

it works on some dude's usb-c laptop

so its not pixel 2 exclusive

it'd be a shame if you were shilling something you don't even own <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

@kylemd is there little holes next to the nozzles??

like

@Droidbot lemme check dear,

Yep hole right next to the nozzle, also one behind the lip of the earpod, also one on the very back of the earpod

@HEKTIK I'll have to have a look at that DAC. Cheers mate

tidepod

@kylemd patch it up with bluetack

it was a common mod on the xiaomi hybrid pros, which that is based on

Oh mad. Thanks for the tipe @Droidbot

Will let you know how it turns out

It makes em into bass cannons

Not sure if it works on the Hybrid ANC tho

these random cheap earbuds sound rly good wtf

0 bass tho

fuck i might actually buy those earbuds reocmended on audiobudget now

🤢

oy vey

have any of you folks bought any DAPs

i want one, but is it worth getting the 'hifi' one

when things like the sansa's got so popular

what do you mean by "is it worth getting the 'hifi' one"

get a astell and kern

something like a FiiO vs anything else

just for the coolness factor

i fucking wish, those things are expensive

yea i kinda want one

but i got no $$$ lol

theres tons of good cheap 'hi-fi' chinese daps now though

that arent fiio

have you used any

i've got a fiio x3ii

lol

do you like it

its ok

once i start looking at battery life as well i dont really want the chinese ones

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-shenzhen-benjie-bj-t6-agptek-rocker.834797

most daps hav a shit battery life lol

have a look around on head fi

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/shanling-m2s-hi-res-dap-with-ak4490-muse8920-bluetooth-usb-out.843643/

you'll prob find sometihn you like

acutally i tell you wh at sucks about the fiio x3ii

the scren brightness

unuseable outside

im too used to mdoern phones lol

yeah fair

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/obscure-chinese-daps.720512/

oh thats the threadt i was thinkin off lol

looks like some of them are popular enough to get their own thread now

alright ill look around, thanks

i imagine the usability and potential support for a FiiO would be better

prob is lol

fiio is kinda wack

a lot of their source gear just sounds wrong imo

ive been eying a sony nw-a45

but the screen is a bit small

and the power output is fucking piss poor

all of the sony's with the hifi badge are 300+ ):

they like nice

what do you mean "hifi badge"

do you mean the hi-res sticker?

yeah my bad

you know that its entirely pointless right?

you cant hear past 22k

high res is a dumb marketing meme

idk dude i make sure to only buy higth quallity DSD files

ignore it entirely

does nayone actually bother with dsd?

probably

id assume its the same sort of people who believe in retarded shit like mqa

http://www.hdtracks.co.uk/starry-night-247241?format=DSD

huh

dsd is cheaper than 352/24 flac

what is 352/24 flac

lol

sounds stupid

24 bit 352kb/s FLAC

tbh high res has arguable benefits with shit DACs due to filtering entering the audible domain
