That will be $1500 + tip. sir.
>>107867693what will cheapest way i can get something simillar? 2 711 couplers and 2 pinas from aliexpress and DIY 3d printed stand for them? Ive seen chinks on aliexpress that sell full setup with stand but it was like 2x price compared to buying pinas and couples one by one and 3d printed stand yourself
Why is it so hard to find a DAP that is medium-small and has balanced output, everything is either bulky or too small so the UI/controls are horrible or fuckhuge big
>>107868152You don't need balanced.
>>107868221I know I don't need it but I like it, I will use an adapter and forego the balanced nature even if I have to just because I prefer the cable that my IEM came with and it came with a balanced connector that isn't replaceable.
>>107868152you have too look for non android stuff, hiby r3 pro 2 have balanced and its smaller than android daps, fiio snowsky echo mini also have 4,4, tons of other non android daps, not exacly ipod nano size but smaller than android bricks
>>107868324hiby r3 pro 2 is chonky, snowsky echo mini I own but it's controls are shit to use, horrible experience to select music with. I'm currently eyeing an m300 + adapter, seems like the smallest whilst still being functional, the A306 doesn't look too bad either (smaller than a 7th gen ipod classic) but availability is so and so
>>107868338fiio jm21? there is newer version with 4gb of ram, not exacly small but plastic build and light, hiby r3 2 is smaller than r3 pro 2 (i think). I think there is more daps on hiby os from other brands but they are rather fat. Probably many more that will come this year, as we know chinks are making more undercooked models every year than reviewers can shill
>>107868373yep was looking at that but it's so chunky, I think I'll just get the m300, seems to be the best balance of size/thickness.
>>107868152just get a $20 phone from ebay and trn black pearl
>>107868710The whole point is to avoid dongles>>107868373not a fan of hibyOS
>>107868736point is fucked up, you talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded
>>107868757I just wanna listen to music otg and in bed without extra luggage, I already hate dealing with an IEM cable, I don't want more to deal with, and my phone + apple dongle is still annoying to deal with
>>107868776
>>107868776run cable under shirt if you haven't already
>>107868876yep I already do that, it's just a pain when I need to use my phone for something else, it's easier when the iem is connected to a small thing in my other pocket and if it has a play/pause button it's even better.>>107868854I don't want a hearing aid thanks tho
>>107868954see >>107868710
I crave distortion. Recommend some pos with the most distortion to me.
>>107869021get decent iems but drive them with a tube amp
>>107869021sennheiser, literally any western brand like etymotic, or anything you buy in store
>>107869021Just spend more than $20.
>>107868429but m300 have only 3,5mm socket, no 4,4 so if you runing 4,4mm cables u have to deal with adapters>>107868736hibyos is retarded but so is android on DAPs, its like using phone from 10 year ago: bad lcd screens, bad performance and worst of all, every app nowdays is designed to work on 6,1-6.9 iinches screens, feels really akward to use it on 4,5 inch 720p LCD screen on something like fiio m21
>>107869030Old meta. We do cassette tapes now.
>>107869021Kiwi Ears KE4
>>107869167why not both? plus a good technical IEM with high distortion
Have some PBTHAL vinyl ripshttps://files.catbox.moe/j3ftu1.flachttps://files.catbox.moe/ivwfhg.flachttps://files.catbox.moe/b34klh.flachttps://files.catbox.moe/xhed7i.flachttps://pomf2.lain.la/f/dnstgza9.flac
With a budget of $130, what v shaped IEMs should I get mainly for metal? I'd really prefer if they'd be comfortable for long durations and come with a carrying case, it doesn't feel good to put something in my ear knowing that it's been in my dirty ass pockets
