Ugh.

Why isn’t zhulinniao’s qingluanz4 available? It’s also a great headset.

I've been paying attention to zhulinniao's qingluanz4 recently. I think it's great and I'd really like to see your review of it.

People don't question or call headphone cables snake oil. USB cables, headphone cables, they are both simply a series of wires and insulating material, yet Many people are calling high-end USB cables snake oil, without hearing them in person. Sceptical people should consider this.

Personally, I would never consider giving an opinion on high-end IEM's simply because I cannot hear them myself. So Why would I offer an opinion either way on this cable? I wouldn't, especially because I am aware that the likely only way I could possibly hear a difference between usb cables, would be by using a very high-end system where the fine nuances between components can be heard.

So many negative comments, i bet none of you have had the opportunity to compare these cables on a similar system. It's a bit rich that we trust that he can hear the intricate differences between high end audio components and yet you don't trust his ears and brain when comparing high quality cables. I would point out that both are made up of tiny electrical wires and electrical components.

Isn’t this how funktion one and other club and festival soundsystems work with loaded horns

Man. These are gonna be rare soon if people buy them for gaming instead of music production like they are meant to.

People without the slightest idea are putting war in the comment section probably never gonna afford it. I have had it for quite a long time, it is a Sonic marvel

Just picked up a pair. Primarily based on your review, along with a couple of other reviews. My take... Setup: Macbook Pro w Apple Dongle and eqMac playing Spotify. Switched to foam tips that were not provided. Music: Classical, Jazz, Rock, Electronic, pretty much everything but Country and Western.... Straight w no EQ, sounds great, but bass was there but thin. Adding EQ was mixed. ( Some of the presets were 'meh' and made the sound worse.) On some music enhancing the bass started to cause distortion. Just .5db at 32Hz and then ~3.5db at 64Hz seemed best for me. (Note: After 20+ hours of listening... seems that the distortion has gone away. Maybe this counts as burn in? ) Played some classic rock (Black Sabbath (Iron Man, War Pigs for example.) Sounded great w no EQ. Better w my bass settings. After some burn in, EQ'd bass booster was ok too. Separation was great. Music was clear. I mean like really good. Pretty much what you and the other reviewers have said were true. The negatives... 1) Carrying case too big to fit in pocket. Ok if traveling w EDC work bag. 2) When I unboxed cable was hard to tell L from R. And then trying to see which unit was L or R. (Manual wasn't much of a help.) Overall, love them so far.

Let's all be adults together and order ourselvs a 20K USB cable and a gold plated cigar. I don't know how the cigar changes the sound... but neither did [big names here] know [super important discoveries they did describe in detail later]. However, I heard it. So everyone basically knows its real now though. Suck on that.

1. There is a reason why audiophiles are called audiophools. 2. The lack of knowledge with audiophools is astonishing. 3. Audiophools know nothing, assume everything, and their "love for music" is just an excuse for making baseless, mostly insane and fully idiotic claims. Study physics, at least some. It prevents tp be received as complete idi0t. 4. And at last, if nothing works with the audience, the audiophool retreats to the stupidest argument and the opposite of scientific research ever: it' all about what you like, it's all subjective. I tell you what: It's not. Every audiophool is a know nothing but wants to know everything, will gain not a shred of knowledge in his whole life, because he will search on and on chasing a non-existing no-knowledge idiocy. So your decision is well received: one idi0t less "on air". Bye!

Thank you!

listening to $20 earbuds my recommendation for an amp is the apple dongle

I just can’t with Chord’s design language. They’re like the kid who has to wear weird clothes all the time so people will pay attention to him.

I always felt USB cables in itself were the problem due to them being a transmission line. The best is no cable which I realised with the Uptone USPCB A to B adapters. They feel totally neutral than any of the USB cables I had. Of course, these adapters are hard to work with due to the small size.

Thanks man.

Well it's nice that they sound great with cable and a DAC but you buy these for portable use. If you sit at home I see no reason not to spend those money on a pair of passive headphones and a dac. Even using the same money e.g., the Aiyima DAC A5 Max and a pair of AKG K702 will sound way clearer. For portable use though I doubt there are much better ANC headphones out there.

Well, I’ve just subscribed. So finally you have one follower.

hello, what amp/dac did you prefer with the Z1R?

I like your hooded sweatshirt USB message, really great.

Mm500

Too bad the dislike button don't work, im sure it would improve my sound. Can't Explain it though...

LaCHLAN, YOUR REVIEWS ARE BETTER THEN EVER!!

For crazy people only. It's a joke!

very interesting, a problem wiath " what you like" is the social and age divisions. young folks have never heard a acoustical instrument so anything goes, mostly white folks dont listen to Black music,Black folks do do white music so there are some real barriers. I do applaud the beautiful young Black woman that commented, the first i have EVER seen in the audio world!

What portable amp would you recommend for Sony nw zx707. I was looking ar the toppin nz7 or ifi xcan or any other suggestions. Thx. Love your vids.

It's to small to be a ....GET the f outa here it's huge, how wouldmsomething that big not power headphones 😂😂😂😂 litterally mwatts

The profit on those must be in the order of $2,200 net clear profit. Impossible to spend thousands of dollars building a tiny object like that. Audio engineers are not fed on gold bars and liquid platinum, they do their work for normal salaries. The construction materials are basic metals and plastics. Even bespoke membranes for drivers just don't cost that much. Give me chifi gear, any day.

How do these companies stay in business, who's buying this crap at these prices?

Hey Lachy, quite honestly ... it would be a great loss to at least the Australian audiophile/ music/ headphone lovers scene if you did quit. I know it's tough to put that on your shoulders to ask you to carry on and ignore the naysayers, but UA-cam is set up in a way where you can either like content and choose to navigate to it and subscribe if you really like it, or ignore it and move on with your life and go watch someone/ something else. I look forward to continue to seeing more of your fantastic content on UA-cam.

How funny i ended up with the ef600 into the s17pro which is the same dac as seranade, its a great pairing! However i just upgraded to the vmv p2 and d2r stack, and i feel like it has the same characteristics of the m1 from how you are explaining it. But it still is 600 dollars cheaper than m1 which is pretty wild. Love the way it looks and how tiny it is. Curious to hear it for myself sometime.

Just Clickbait

Super clear and informative. Thank you!

I see you add the Aune s17 pro for an amp option. How does m1 compare to the Aune S9c pro?

I'm guessing the designer might be mixing analogue & digital volume controls to keep a good bit depth - just a thought

This also let's me know more about the CAM and other "Reviewers"

It was when you said the IFI gear was like some "poor man hifi stuff"

Don't let the bastards get you down!

is the Amp powerful enough to drive high impedance headphones?

For a baked-in sound signature maybe. But for that price my money would go to the RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE and would stay that way for a very long time. I also have the ADI-2 DACfs (old AKM version) that doubles as my transportable AIO desktop solution when I go for long/month long vacations. RME's software support is a gold standard too, one that Dethonray and other hi-fi based brands usually lack. Positively, Dethonray never fail to impress when it comes to their sound. Great review!

I think you have to offer genuine sophistication for that price.

But theres so much more to the sound then the tuning, which can always be eq'd

i like MP145 but it's too fvcking big, any similar iem sound?

$2,600 for that tiny thing means that it needs to be absolutely flawless.

Have deathonray sg1 Bluetooth receiver.. sounds great just software very very problematic.. keeps losing all sound.. have to reinstall software each time usually after using twice.. wouldn't buy deathonray again.. shame

For anyone tried the both units this is better than mjolnir 3. Especially how it drives high impedance cans compared to schiit unit. I have a beyerdynamic T1 V1 headphone set. Both are not good as for ex Violectric 222 on that but for me S17 is the winner overall of this 3. Great for its price. Dac i use is gustard r26. 😊

I think it's perfectly fine to have a good time doing experiments like this, even though I am firmly in the camp of digital wires have no sound. I am sure I would think I heard differences at times as well.

No high-end format can survive when 99% of the buying consumer have no need for it, audiophiles at speck in recorded music sales, SACD was better than MQA and that did not catch on, but it is still around more than MQA. Look where most of the world gets their music from; it is not high-end audio. And I am an audiophile. If SACD did not catch on and become the norm MQA had no chance, there is not enough demand to make it worthwhile for recording companies.

Why not compare it to the Hugo 2? Would it reflect badly on it, a head to head?
