I use LG V30 which is also fitted with quad DAC merely a DAP. I turn on its flight mood whenever I play and enjoy it's music which I downloaded from Apple Music. It gives a cleaner sound with no interference when playing music with the flight mood turned on.

Hey mate, thanks for the comparison! It was very good and informative. Have you considered making a review of the Sony DAPs with CFW installed? The A55 specially get even better with CFW which makes it even more compelling as a "budget" option for the price you can find them this days.

I remember when I bought the R3 Pro, then the R3 Pro Sabre and then the 2022 or whatever edition. I did all that in the chase of better UI experience, better polished device with each iteration but all I got was a buggy system, devices crashing on me when skipping tracks, numerous patches via official/unofficial firmwares and so on and so forth. I got to a point, where I wouldn't even use the device in fear of it crashing on me once again during a listening session. To some, this might mean nothing, but to me - whenever I have the time - I want to ENJOY the music, forget about the device I'm using and just have fun. If a device made solely for playing music stops me from enjoying my music, then by all means I consider it a fail. I went with Shanling M0 Pro and - naturally - I hear no change in the sound but it plays my music and is so light and handy that I listen to my music even more often than before. Cheers

4.4 is more robust (and bulkier). Output impedance is higher as well compared to the 3.5 so to me 4.4 is just more power and that is it. If you use iems, 100mW is more than enough to drive them to hear damaging levels. Louder isn't better. Balanced isn't better. It's bigger, drives a bit more power and is essentially more robust given the size. That's it.

Wired isnt bad either unless trying to push big headphones. Still love my LG V60, but its audibly better than note9 (which i also have). Soundwise, not as good as my old ibasso dx160 (but battery died in it, and still like having a separate DAP!)

I use LG V30 sorely as DAP. I download songs from Apple Music for my favourite play lists. Whenever I play music from LG V30 as DAP, I turn on its flight mood to have a much clearer sound without any interference. In addition to better sound, it save power too allowing you to enjoy much longer play time.

One Word: Diversification. In this hobby, people like to enclose themselves on 1 specific form factor and kept on buying up for marginal to miniscule upgrade. I bought a Swan OS10 2 years ago and it shook me, it sound as good, as 3 of my kilobuck headphones. After that I stopped buying any iems or headphones for 1+ years. If you're actually an audiophile, try different gears, don't lock yourself up on iem/headphones/ speakers form factors. I spent some cash and upgrading the Swan to KEF LXS+ Polk 10"Sub. sold some cans and IEMs to pay for it. Also bought some portable speakers, heck even neck speakers 😂. In the end, having different medium actually give me way more enjoyment, way different experience for each listening, wherever and whenever I am. Now I care more for gears that enable more use case like Bluetooth and TWS Dongle than chasing DAP or Dac/Amps.

Just wanted to point out that when you're talking about noise floor you can't really assess this without music playing. Some of these devices mute/disconnect the headphone output completely when no signal is being played. You cant hear hiss because the output is disabled. Reason why sony hisses is that it apparently doesn't mute the headphone out.

@@PerputuallyCensoredit’ll actually reduce the noise floor. Which you mentioned in the video. It’s measurable btw not subjective. I’ve never heard a noise floor on a dap with a balanced connection because they’re all designed for balanced. The SE is the flaw - the exception would be SET tube amps and chord products because they use a pulse array dac which is inherently SE, so the converse would be true if chord added a balanced out. Incidentally you get better channel separation, and dynamic range with balanced. Also entirely measurable to prove it

So if your conclusion is that the sweet spot for diminishing return in iem is 100 pounds, then at this price oint do you prefer fh3 over jd7 ( at the same price point is it better to put all the money on a single driver of higher quality, or do we get better sound with the money spread on 3 drivers of lesser quality but that may perform better in their own frequency range) ? thank you
@PerputuallyCensored
@PerputuallyCensored 13 күн бұрын
The FH3 deals well with everything in my library so it is the better all rounder of the two but the JD7 isn't far off. It just deals a bit less well with sibilant recordings. Only you can determine value and what you consider to be diminishing returns. However, the best IEM I have heard (Monarch Mk2 £800) isn't much better than the FH3 to my ears. Marginally better. Roughly 5%.

@@amanieux I've not put a number on every difference between every IEM. That 5% was specific to the FH3 & Monarch Mk2, not the JD7. I would say try things over asking other people questions. The only way you'll know is through direct experience. You may agree or disagree with my perceptions/opinions so those are only useful to a point. I also wouldn't get fixated on degrees of improvement. All my IEMs sound good and I enjoy music on them. That is the most relevant and important thing. I enjoy the Doscincos the most of everything I have at present. That doesn't mean they are "better" necessarily. Ultimately it is down to preference as each set varies slightly.
