Kinera Nana 2.0 Debacle or how it took 2 months to get a replacement!
Great review. Thanks a bunch man.
Does this support inline mic?
Great energy my guy. Thanks for the warning about the volume
I bought this Muse M5 Ultra. There is a ton of static noise from the 4.4mm port. When you move the device or touch the connector. Very disappointing. I've tried a number of different cables, iems, and headphones. I have some very expensive cables (pure silver wires). It's the Muse, not my iems or headphones. Used with my Hiby RS8.
I also have the btr7. Yes, much better device.
Better than the Monarch, you mean the Mk3 or the old one? I don't think it'll beat a $1000 iem cause many reviewers have stated that it's not as detailed as even cheaper ones like the Pilgrim or Dunu DK3001BD. You gotta check out the Oracle Mk3 which is quite similar in tuning and according to Jays Audio, one of the very few honest reviewers, is better than the Mega5est. Only DMS has hyped it to the moon. Better than the subtonic storm and as detailed as the HE1 😅😂
I've been skeptical of this product from the first review I listened to. Seems like tubes should be affected by small movements, much more being dropped on a table top. Are you convinced the audio is going through the tubes at all?
Have you fed this into your home audio or HT? I've been shopping for a Topping or Fiio dac for my rack but would this sound just as good and also be portable? I love my Qudelix 5k and often plug that into my rotel amp. Love your reviews! Been subscribed for a while. You seem like an audio buff in a hurry. No time for fluffing around.
Tube mode is great on m5 ultra imo - I wonder if you got a defective unit. I had a defect in transistor mode where you hear hiss on 4.4mm input
Hi I currently have the xenns up would these be and upgrade. Also what Bluetooth dongle would work well with the mega 5 est
Febos. Feel the beauty of sound.
MEST IS BEST!😍
Sweet review! I have been curious about this device for a while. Have you heard the iBasso DC-Elite? That's my favorite dongle DAC.
Not yet!
I don't believe that sources can improve soundstage or imaging, but thanks for the review. Would have been more useful if the video had timestamps.
They can change the output, which will change perceived soundstage and imaging, but they shouldn't
@zmmmzmmmz that's the thing, haha. They shouldn't.
I kinna dont like youtubers because of implications of childen and stuff XD
Good video, but I think it's a bit long-winded. This video could probably be 15 minutes shorter. Also, I think the viewer would appreciate you describing the unit you are reviewing right away, before brining in the comparison. It feels very much like I'm just waiting, and waiting, and waiting to hear what you have to say about the main product.
Could be 20 minutes shorter, I haven't made one in a while and I rambled like hell. Thanks for the comment!
@@electromod6369 No problem! I really liked your review and have since subscribed to your channel, and wish I had seen it before I bought the M5 Ultra. Still like mine, but now I'm also interested in the little bear. LOL.
29:40 Many reviewers are prasing this to the moon, saying its much more detailed than the Fiio btr7. 😂 Maybe they are shills or you got a defective unit.
Maybe, hard to say. If it is the case then they need to have better QA.
How does it compare to Cayin N3 Ultra? Both have the same tubes.
I'm going from memory but I think I liked the Cayin better.
Change the tubes.
Get some dekoni suede (normal version)...at least my dt880s were on another level just with new pads. You really alter and change characteristics with just pads...and they are waaaay easier to install and not cheap quality like the stock ones. Siblance gone, more kick...winwin 😂
I REALLY LIKE THE LOGITECH LIFT over the LOGITECH MX, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY HAND LENGTH (7.5" IS AT THE LIMIT OF LOGITECH'S CHART RECOMMENDATIONS). I AM CURRENTLY USING THE LOGITECH M650L WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
MX
the fuck? Tape is electrostatic. And second driver is dynamic
kinda wild this dude is reviewing high end headphones, but feels the need to explain to his audience of heaphone enthusiasts that "OPEN BACKED HEADPHONES LEAK SOUND" and "HD800S ISN'T A MOBILE HEADPHONE" like, bruh... we know. who do you think are looking these up?

I think that any audio-emitting devises be it speakers or headphones and IEMs should reproduce music as INTENDED by composers and audio engineers and not as an individual happens to like or dislike. So, if composers, singers, conductors or mixing engineers approve particular speakers, DACs and amps as well as IEMs for music they CREATED then you have to check your own tastes and preferences if you happen to dislike how the approved equipment sounds to you. That's why I find it ridiculous when someone criticizes neutral sounding equipment creators themselves liked for the reason it's reproducing music faithfully and without distortions of any kind, like elevated bass, or trebles, etc. After all: if you happened not to like a sound signature of such equipment, then the problem is you, not the equipment. Use an equalizer for goodness’s sake!
The noise floor in the BTR7 is wonderful..plays well on my Dunu SA6 😁
bit late to tell you but it doesnt have 64GB of ram. it probably has something like 2GB of ram. Similar to smart phones. RAM doesnt store data it is just used as space for the OS to run. By the way i owned a FIIO. It was buggy, it had awful branding. For example when turned on it displayed the message "welcome". As if its not your player and you need to be welcomed to it. The thing stopped working after a few months and their customer service is based in China you have to pay for all postage. What i said had no value to them. Its not about pleasing the customer its about you pleasing them. They said they will not commit to anything until the device is sent to their base in China and they decide in their view there is a fault. That didnt sound reassuring because paying money to send it there and back for nothing is a waste of time. I sold it immediately and i dont trust these chinese companies. Sorry i gave them a chance.
Need advice: I want to buy myself a player (specifically from Sony), should I consider the Sony wm1a in 2024 or buy something more recent? I’ll say right away that sony wm1am2 is dear to me)
Sony discontinued them. Fuckers. They were awesome and now I can’t replace them.
Your explanation of Compression is wrong but I understand why you got to it and it's close to correct. What you got wrong or explained poorly was that compression can just lose data and nearly always does. Which is categorically false and that's a fact not a debate. Compression can be Lossy or Lossless Lossless is less efficient and uses more space but is always 1:1 data accurate, no exception. This is important for text and numbers where data can't be lost at all without destroying it all. Lossy is more efficient and can considerably lower space usage, however it gets way more complicated whether or not you can tell it's compressed or if that matters. This is done on images and sound that have more data than you are probably capable of seeing/hearing anyway so lossy compression formats try their best to only remove those for the most part. For example your PC, phone and most things use lossless compression all the time and you don't even notice. Even audio has lossless compression, such as FLAC and ALAC. Lossless compression's only downside is that it's less power and space efficient than raw and lossy respectively, otherwise it's basically free storage space. For example MP3 is an ancient, dried up husk of a lossy compression format. It's inefficient and removes way too much audible data and is still too big. Compared to OGG/Opus/Vorpis which removes more data, but does so more efficiently and less audibly noticable making it superior. Bluetooth codecs generally are lossy compression, so data is lost, but Bluetooth (nowadays) is more akin to Opus than Mp3. Especially if you use AAC or better, SBC is fine but it's really old. LDAC is probably more than you'll ever need realistically for Bluetooth for now.
I forgot to mention image formats as well. Jpeg and PNG are basically the defaults for lossy and lossless respectively... For now. Jpeg has long since had replacements that have yet to be implemented across the internet, same with PNG. But for now they both work just fine and both surve their respective purposes. PNG for those who want their raw images but in a smaller package and JPEG for uploading finished works. Video is probably the only format that isn't stored losslessly, because we just can't do that. It's way way too space inefficient and doesn't even make sense if you understand how it works. (For example a single movie 1080p could be about 5gb encoded, but 700gb if not encoded) H264 has been the standard encoding format for video. I won't get into explaining how it works, because honestly it's way too complicated for even me to fully understand.
Bought. But I'm going to return them. The sound is hardly better than my old 20 euro earphones from Apple. Sometimes Apple is even better. And I find in ear really terrible: pressing feeling in my ears. gives a lot of irritation.
Will the BTR7 be enough to power Can Clark Aeon Noire 2s and how do you think they will sound. Thanks
How do these work? Do they connect to the phone via Bluetooth and listened to via wired headphones or wired to the phone and listened through a wireless headphone?
Connect the unit to phone via Bluetooth, plug in headphones to the dac amp, either 3.5mm Connector or balanced, you're good to go
Dunu Titan s is something i cant explain till now since i've bought it Sound quality is just absurd
great vid - so the Monolith Amp is what makes all the difference - the high end DAPs you mentioned don't have that kind of power?
Great review, picking one up tonight, I'm just outside of Niagara Falls, Canada. Enjoyed your take on it, thanks!
Hmm, no Qudelix 5k. The PEQ with the 100s of presets, which made a huge difference with different IEMs and over ear cans I have, made me return the BTR 7. I tried them back to back.
These need an impedance adapter to sound good, IMO
Mine broke after 4 years, sound passes through but only static replaced fuses and no go
and costs just as much if not more than most of them. pointless
Zeos got a big fat check to promote them.... People fell for it...
I’ve bought several headphones hyped by Zeos and have been disappointed. Now I’m debating whether to buy his HarmonicDyne Eris collab
I have both the k9 akm and the topping dx3pro+ with ess. Would you say the topping will cover the more detailed clinical sound the ess offers or is there a big difference in sound. Between akm and ess there is a difference and I like both transparent sounds for different applications. Sounds like we need a dac that has both ess and akm to switch between
Lats week was comparing these to the Sennheiser ie900 and i returned the ie900. I also have the Monarch 2 which were my favourite among all flagships or some expensive iems ive had, like Mest 2, u12t, ie900, Xelento 2 and i like the Variations even more than the Monarch 2. For me the Variations are cleaner, smoother and have way better bass. I dont know whats going on but to my ears the Variations are absolutely magical in tuning. Their trebles are ethereal, i feel like im floating in space when listening to them.
NEED a little help here , whats the differences of kz pr1 pro , KZ AST and KZ AS24 ...
Were did you get the clip on case for the btr5
it's sold everywhere on amazon,aliexpress for 15 usd
What file type were you using when listening? I know it's probably overkill, but I'm considering the BTR7 for Spotify.
I find this interesting. I have the exact RME Dac and Drop THX amp he has on his desk. Sweet pair!
This is the oddly specific video I needed! My btr3k just broke 😭
very sad, good, known factory, high price, and can't do good iem. I have bgvp dx6 its awesome for 80 dollars!!!
