    Surface Pro? A mark 1 or 2 Pro is cheap.

    @Gaspasser Could you explain more? I had an ipod touch but its horrible scrolling down all the saved albums, especially on a small screen. But with the update, can you search only your album folder? That would help a lot... What other filters are there? I'm thinking of getting an ipad...

    Yes you can search albums/artists/playlists
    It is easy to use on my small iPhone 7 screen.
    
    Apparently I’m in the minority who like the update

    the marketing seems to hint a lot at this being close-ish to their top shelf offerings. i would happily pay $1k for a slightly stunted or ugly/utlitarian Solaris... so i'm intrigued to see where IO lands.

    No dynamic bass like Solaris but maybe a baby Andro? Would be awesome!

    I've never loved any BA IEMs. The closest I've come was the Noble 5, but there's always something a little weird about them that causes me fatigue. It's been a few years since I bothered buying one, though, so maybe they've improved.

  Anyone have an Ibasso DX50 or DX90 coaxial cable laying around? I think mine has a short...

    I think the 1st gen Fiio X3 or X5 cable would work, too

  I'm sure it's subjective but do you personally suspect you can only hear the difference in mp3 vs. FLAC at high volumes? Just curious.

    It’s not subjective, just listen to anything not in the foreground. (Conditional on having a good enough headphone/chain)

    LAME has been the best mp3 encoder for years now. They keep a list of "nasty" test samples that are known to cause problems:
    
    http://lame.sourceforge.net/quality.php
    
    AFAIK, no one has submitted a sample in quite some time that causes problems at high bitrate encoding with the more recent builds of LAME. Pretty much all remaning issues are @128kbit/s or lower.

    Need to watch out for Joint Stereo. I personally prefer 320CBR (stereo).
    
    Besides MP3, AAC and OGG should work fine.

  Has anyone compared the UHA-6S MKii and iFi Nano BL? I'm particularly curious about the DAC output, but would take any insights...

    Wish I had another option, but I'm stuck with them, there is only one other slower provider in my neighborhood.

    The only option available to me is Cox. I've tried to get anything else and they don't serve my address. It's fucking collusion

  Ten years ago today I joined Headfi. I've learned a lot along the way, but mostly have had a lot of fun. Thankful for Changstar/SBAF.

  I get to buy a laptop for work. Budget is around $11-1200. Any recommendations? Most important is a great keyboard. I'd like a 13-14".

    If ram was more reasonably priced I would say go for 16. I upgraded to 16 in my Lenovo a few years ago because I kept getting memory allocation errors/crashes trying to run Chrome and illustrator/photoshop with only 8GB. Based on what you are running 8 GB should be fine. Make sure you get something with an SSD as well.

    Agreed. SSD is the single largest performance improvement one can make on any computer.

    An SSD will ruin you for spinning disks. But if you go cheap for some reason make sure to avoid eMMC. It has more in common with an SD card than anything genuinely high end. It is not what people mean when they wax lyrical about the performance benefits of solid state.

    U mean The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series Vol. 6? It's a great album. Streaming that hundreds of times via Qobuz.

    I would have picked one up too if I didn't already have other iems that did the job for me that the Plus does.

  Heard that massdrop is dropping the plus again tomorrow. Excellent iem.

    How does these do for active use? Meaning jogging, walking, bicycling, ect. In picturesI noticed there does not seem to be any replaceable filters on the nozzle.
    
    May 17, 2018
  3. Cspirou
    @Poleepkwa - Nozzle has no filter. It's a very comfortable IEM and would probably be fine for active use. However I refuse to use anything more expensive then $30 IEMs if I plan to wear anything while running. But that's just me, I really don't like distractions while I do something.

    Not used an SDAC. I did have a similar issue with an m9xx, which required the appropriate 24-bit (or 32-bit, I cannot recall now) setting. It otherwise refused to play from Foobar2000.

    I had the exact same experience with my se215s compared to my current day IEMs. Also when I tried out the MCTH for the first time compared to my fiio k5.
