Must let you know how enjoyable all of your narratives are. Your presentations are second to none🤙

Beautiful application of language to sound.

I had driven my headphones with an old vintage heavy iron analog 60 watt RMS per channel power amplifier with a frequency response of +- 2 dB from 0 to 100,000 Hz. Nothing sounded better, maybe except a Stax headphone setup. The problem was so much headroom and virtually no distortion, keep cranking the volume up till blowing up headphones. All worth it! This Colibri sounds interesting and much more portable, maybe I'll try it.

Excellent

Thank you for the excellent review!

Sounds like a nice match for the Sennheiser 6 series with a balanced cable.

Suggest sticking your REL sub in the corner and using a minidsp Dirac on it. Placing the sub in the corner is ideal since it typically produces peaks rather than dips. Dirac works better when removing peaks for EQ. Look forward to hearing about it.

thank you for the review! Could you please say some words regarding soundstage depth and layering (and maybe height) of the BU2 compared to other portable dac amps? Or otherwise say, which of them gives the deepest soundstage and most separated layering?

How does bass and sub-bass compare with the Cayin RU6 with and without bass boost? And how does is sound compare to it's predecessor the Sparrow and to the L&P W2? Thank you.

Thanks

Great review, and a great product too. I do have a question though, and if you answered it in the video. I apologize, but I didn't see it myself. Is there any issues with noise if you're using efficient iem's on the balanced connection? And one only needs a balanced cable to do this? Thank you, love the videos. Please keep them coming. 👍 ✌️

Great review. I will check it out once back in stock. BTW, I'd like to see your thoughts on the Hidizs DH1000. To be with Focal Clears it's far better than the S9 Pro, DH80s and others like the Chord Mojo, Dethronay Honey H1 and RU6.

it´s better at the level of hiby fc6? i ask because i want to use it with an iphone and i know it can´t give enough juice for the fc6.

I miss the tone2 comparison. It has similar power

Thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Thank you. May I ask something unrelated to this particular video. I have the Opus #11 from TheBit which is nearing it's end of life battery wise. I'm sure you may have come across this some years ago. Looking to replace it and since the Khadas Tea is also an ESS chip perhaps it may be a good choice. I love everything about the Opus #11. Living in South Africa, I would need to import so I need to be careful I make the right choice. I have HiFiMan i400 headphones. Any advice would be appreciated. I have someone who will be in Germany end of the month and could get something you suggest maybe from there. I listen at home always and never need anything too portable but semi-portable would be required. Thank you if you are able to suggest anything

Another great review Srboljub! Earman seem to have produced an exceptional portable Amp/DAC for listeners wishing to use balanced cables with their earphones and IEM’s. You describe the performance of this device with exceptional clarity. Well done 👍. Which comparable quality balanced IEM’s or Headphones would you choose to listen to your music using the Colibri?

Shanling UA5 will give this a run for its money. I'm really contemplating if or not ua5 will be a great upgrade to my ua1 pro. That also has a battery and even better hybrid mode so can be used even when battery is drained fully. If you could get ua5 sent to you then it would be great to hear your comparison.

hope you feel better soon

what do u think of IFI hip DAC 2? Thank u.

Nice review but I'll stick with my ear studio and quelisk 5k. I didn't hear u say anything about an app. Does it have an app.

Hi Srboljub, many thanks for great review👍👍👍, it seems that earmen has a house sound (clarity, impact, fullness) I have the Tradutto in one setup and I love it... so this Colibri will be my next choice for IEM. (unfortunatelly it is not available now). I have also S9Pro and like it also very much.. , do you think, that Colibri is similar sound signateure like S9 pro, but step-up? many thanks, Petr

Does anyone knows if it can be used when it runs out of battery? With external power source? Thx and apologize if it was mentioned in the review

I have problems with devices with battery inside. I always think that battery bad for longevity of a product. They could bloat after years of usage, the power they could store decrease after each charge to the point where the battery no longer could store any power and if you plan to store a device with a battery inside for long term, planning to use it again in the future, you better hope that the battery didn't leak and destroy the electronics inside the device.

Great review! I am also into portable Dacs and dongles. I would like to ask you about a device that it seems to be an excellent product, specially for its price: Venture Electronics Megatron. It would be also great to hear your opinion about it!

Thanks again for the review! May I ask if you have any opinion on how it compares with the Hidizs DH80S, especially on power and clarity?

Colibri vs dh80s? Which one is good Tia mate!

Great review. Would you recommend or can this be used in a hifi system connected to streamer?

qudelix 5k sounds just as good as any of these and has way more features. EQ features alone make the 5k superior to all of these.

Great review! Which one sounds better? tr amp or colibri or the D80s?

Hi, can it drive the Edition XS?

Mojo 2 is better than Colibri?

S-E and BAL should be designed equally well and sound-matched. Period.

No Bluetooth:(?

Can it process Hi-Rez

I have an idea for you to execute. Roylaties and exposure. Email me for details.
