Woo secondhand! Being patient is almost always worth it if you can get good deals on some secondhand components (CPU/GPU come to mind) as it brings your cost down so much.

Hmmmm, not so sure they need more power like the Sony EX1000 do. I tried a cheap 4.4mm balanced cable out of my ZX300 and actually did not care for the sound (brighter), and they sound great from an iPhone Xs as well. The stock cable is probably higher quality and it sounded better than the $20 Amazon 4.4mm MMCX I tried.

Interesting, let me try iphone dongle as well. The go2pro stack is not that easy to lug around

I love my Senn True Wireless. It is a part of my everyday carry now.

RIP :(

Stop thinking power output with the he6, start thinking current output.

Gotcha, thank you so much

If that thing can really do 60A per channel, you're definitely good to go. Now to see the rest of the characteristics.

If you're serious about it, this is one of my favorite resources: Road Racing for Serious Runners: Multispeed Training- 5K to Marathon https://www.amazon.com/dp/0880118180/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rHyTBb57KYM27

Its kinda recreational but yes, having proper game plan will definitely help, thank you!

Af too soft for Code-X, Vidar required. if somehow you don’t like- sell me the Code-X

+1 on the Saga/Vidar combo. Great synergy with my Code variant; impressive bass, slightly warm and deep, deep layers. Neutral headstage, neither forward or too laid-back. I've thought on moving to a Firstwatt amp, but keep struggling with the 3X cost factor. Probably better putting the money into a better source.

Pass Labs xa25. And I wouldn't run the AF on anything but 96db+ sensitive speakers.

I still think Eitr is much morre easier but i cant help getting curious about that particular connector.
The good thing is that while d2d is very hard to find, the price is not too bad (150$-ish for my case).

I have the assemblage 3.1 fed by eitr but it also takes i2s via the massive connector. Long story but I had a d2d-1 for all of a few days, was kinda neat but alas never meant to be. Too bad they didnt include st optical output on the d2d. Do you think it competes with the eitr SQ wise?

I2se gives p3 better technicality imo but eitr comes pretty close with smaller footprint, please keep in mind that i didnt send p3 in for se+ mod yet, hell , if i ever gonna ship that beast there i will be better of go grab yggyA2 instead lol.

It somehow turned into random encounters lol

If you'll ultimately end up sending them to LFF a 6-screw is just as capable. Or a 5LE

That was great to hear!

if it's that hard of a choice, keep whichever is cheaper of the two.

That's also great idea!

Still faster than anything Massdrop can ship out! Good things come to those that wait in this hobby.

I'd think $1100 to $1000 would be pretty good for paduak, a little less for cherry.

From buying other iems, headphones, amps, dacs haha

At least one less problem lol!
I believe that there's better iem out there, andro just make it pretty difficult to find one.

I think the tia fourte is better but not worth the price hike of 3x the price

Oh yeah!!

and now i keep looking at speaker amp, god help me

I think it got around 70-80% of what i heard in gov2+ (Say, te02 got more air,speed and less congest in gov2 chain)
It needs a bit more omph i guess

Side note: it was modded with @james444's method posted recently

Good to know, I have a ZX2 and a GOV2+.

Impressions?
