Poly caps seal

Just a different way of listening from headphones, can be more convenient in some cases and easier to drive compared to something like headphones

Can’t argue with that

Fits okay, does get a bit squished in but no problems so far

Hasn’t got the widest soundstage but i think it’s pretty average compared to the hexa cadenza

Probably the tangzu wu zetian

I just searched it up on a forum like website called sharemania lots of good stuff there

To each is own I guess, I do think that from now I’ll stay away from the budget stuff

It’s good given I haven’t listened to any other planar iems, the treble isn’t so bad for my ears from what I’ve heard about planar iems and if it’s tuned to your liking, I think it’s a great alternative to the other planars out there simply based on the reviews

Aria seems to be more v shaped with more bass and treble and overall better fit for me compared to the hexa but both still solid iems

I’ve made a comment about it in another reply, but it’s good and suits what I like to listen to, don’t think you’ll regret it

I haven’t watched a lot of her work but she was good in hotel del Luna

It’s good, as an intro to daps, it’s providing me with what I would want with portable lossless audio. I mainly use uapp as I like interface more.

I agree that the software and its responsiveness is a letdown as it can get a bit sluggish at times

I’m assuming you’re talking about the aria and hexa, I think I just wanted something different to listen to but I can’t lie as I did watch the reviews and was swayed by the hexa

Not good at all, need to be more strict with my spending

Can’t say I got it legally off a website

I think there’s so much new stuff coming out nowadays and you could find stuff that’s better for cheaper but it really depends on what you listen to

I find that I use the blue cabled iem (tangzu wu zetian heyday) more simply do to fit and comfort

I’ve been getting by just fine with this dap so I guess investing in better iems is the way to go, appreciate the insight

Need the tax write off for all the gear

It’s nothing crazy, just an akko acr too 75 with akko vintage white switches and poly caps seal keycaps. First custom keeb I built

Definitely, pretty much everything you’ve listed is something I’d like to listen to in the future especially tbe b2d, ie600 and the fiio m11s

Recently got the Shanling m3x and so far it’s been a good cheap dap to start with, since I got it off eBay so I’m curious what upgrading to something like the m11s would be like

It’s a Shanling m3x

Glad to see so many IU fans in this sub

I find myself getting into the expensive hobbies, film cameras, keyboards and now headphones/iems. Not good for the funds

The hexa has been talked about by everyone but I’ve personally enjoyed it, it’s warm and neutral, and can pretty much pull off most genres, I just find the shape and size of nozzle a downside for my ears as I usually have to adjust them or they’ll start becoming irritating
