what DAP do I get for pure use with my external DAC? I'm debating between the Sony NW-A306 and Hiby R4, I'm essentially going to ductape my DAC to the back of this DAP and I just want the longest runtime out of it. I heard the r4 has attroticious battery life and heats up (despite it having almost double the battery capacity). Others claim sony is battery efficient.

>>107532216
If you want to minmax the battery life get a y-splitter and power the DAC from a powerbank.

>>107531260

Is there any reason to upgrade from the R3 yet? I got into this hobby back when the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk and R3 were being touted as a great entry point. They’ve blown my mind thus far.

What the fuck China screwed me over. The left side IEM suddenly has like no volume. Pic related is what I have to set balance to to get a tolerable sound.

>>107530327
Nta but most of the IEMs I like are Harman tuned single DDs. However, I still think if they followed the Harman 2019 target exactly they would have too much treble for me.

I think the natural limitations of single DDs actually make up for some of the flaws with the Harman target.

not even poor, otherwise I'd be plugging into apple dongle

I bought the tanchjim bunny (the 3.5mm version) thinking the iems will be the end game for me, yet it sounds like shit.
I use it with a Hiby DAC.
Tried the autoeq preset from wavelet and it sounds very unprecise and also autoeq for a wave I found on squig to make it harman certified and it's even worse, totally muffled and harsh at high frequencies.
I thought my hd 599 were bad but in comparison to those they sound like the best thing on earth (with eq obviously).
And to add to it, they are super uncomfortable to wear, they added some silicone plugs in different sizes which I will still try to swap but still, the material just hurts to put into the ear.
Tell me if I'm the retarded one or it's /iemg/ posters that cope with being poor. All the other chink shit I have is good, like the smsl dac or fosi amp.

>>107535975
>harman certified

>Tell me if I'm the retarded

>they added some silicone plugs in different sizes which I will still try to swap but still, the material just hurts to put into the ear
with good eartips IEMs are barely noticeable inside your ears. nothing should hurt at all. so you probably need smaller tips or softer tips... maybe like springtips or whatever

try this EQ, it's from Tanchjim's natural preset (USB-C), you technically did fuck up by buying the 3.5mm version but it's not a big deal since you can just EQ this yourself

Are they single DD?
If so, there are tuning filters behind the metal filters.

I need support from one of you certified audioautists

>>107536518
tried this and some other presets but it still sounds rather bad, although acceptable for $20
I tweaked the autoeq results for the harman target a little bit so they are not as harsh
I still can't achieve bass being punchy/fast, mids are a bit clearer now but lack detail, treble is ok for me
>>107536011
I changed the eartips for longer and smaller ones and it's a bit better but no way I could have them on for longer than 30 mins, maybe I will buy better ones

>>107538075
if you have problems with eartips chances are you don't get a proper seal and leak all the bass. It makes treble sound brighter and harsher than it should.
Plus you should EQ length modes out and probably lower treble 1-2 dB overall.
First of all get rid of all your retarded autoEQ presets.
With bass try something dumb if it's not punchy enough like +5 dB 80Hz low shelf.
Not DSP bunny's mids are a little bit recessed so you might want to add at least 1 dB at around 800 Hz. It's very probable that you have a rather shallow fit even if you are getting decent seal that is lowering bass and rising treble.
for treble add -2 dB 4000 Hz high shelf.
That's only a start btw. You'll need to make proper changes depending on the results.

sold the zxp to my friend as he enjoys full android DAPs more (plus this zxp was in nasty condition), I ordered a Y1 and plan to do the SD upgrade and rockbox installation, looks much more fun and enjoyable to use than another touchscreen. I'm just wondering if the Y1 can do USB-C output into something like a Questyle, I ordered one of those 4.5k mAh slim magsafe powerbanks and aim on mounting a shanling DAC pouch to it permanently, that way I can just pop my Questyle into that hodpodged module and just magnetically slap it on my phone or my Y1 when I need battery+dac, will be connecting to those devices via an iBasso BC19. (Total cost: around 250-300$, not too bad considering)

i decided to get a yu9 deep insertion iem. you recommended 404 as i said er2xr but im not necessarily married to it, it was just what i had. what would be differences between the options? ones ive heard of being, 554,556, 404 and a yu9 yan?

>>107547580
Good, though I'd say the reviews exagerrate it. On the one hand, I don't think the sub-bass gives much rumble, but drums in the mid range do sound very nice.

I have both OG ZVX and EDX Lite driver ZVX after Tyvan pulled his classic silent swapperoo and the latter sounds like shit.

For cheaper USB C DACs, is interference a common issue if you get one that has charging passthrough? I'd like to get some $20 DAC for my phone but I'd rather not hear an annoying buzzing sound whenever my phone is charging
