I found a 4th gen iPod at my local thrift for $14 CAD. Does everything I need. I think these cost a bit too much to be honest.

Good information. The Tripowin C8 is another cable that needs to be modified to work with the Sennheiser IE200 (and probably IE300/600/900 as well). After complete removal of the plastic color rings the connectors plug in firmly and make a satisfying click upon insertion. There remains a little gap where the color rings once were but that is not a problem at all. If you want to make it absolutely perfect, you would need to cut just half of each color ring, which is way too much hassle in my opinion.

Loved your thorough review videos, they convinced me to buy an A306, it arrived today. I have an NW-A45 so this is quite the jump up but I am learning. Also have my trusty Pono, love that thing. But the sound coming out of the A306 is very nice, I'm using some Sennheiser HD 660S headphones. Also wanted to let everyone know that a SanDisk 1.5 TB micro SD card will work with the A306 with no problems. Thanks for all the info!

It’s probably not on your radar but I really like the Hisence touch. Definitely worth checking out 😊

Awesome review Luke and it is refreshing to see someone who is not totally blown away by the sennheisers. I am hoping to try out the hype4, but was interested to hear your comparisons against the cinco tres, so I hopped onto Amazon and they were doing a flash deal 50% off on checkout so I have just bagged a pair of them for £127. That has to be the bargain of the year and being Amazon if I don't like them they can go straight back. Keep up the great work. Have you considered the Thieaudio oracle mkiii? I know it has not made your list yet but if you get the chance I would be interested to see your comparison review between these iems you review on this post and the oracle's

Hi I saw you have the fiio fh3 and Doscinco, which is the best of the 2? I also have fh9 but honestly the bass is very flat.

Can you use apps like IG and UA-cam on this? Also can you connect to the internet on it with a usb-c to Ethernet adapter

Which ever DAP you buy to keep that's the device I'm buying for myself

It's a shame to see you sell this, it's a masterpiece of audio engineering and one of the best DAPs under £1000.

nice and comprehensive review....on side note, how is the sound quality of pixel phones as a source with any dongle etc?

I really appreciate the elaborate privacy concerns. Thanks

Thanks! I'm deciding between the M300 and the NWA 306. I'm happy to find a comparison of these two players. After weeks of searching and eliminating all others, I'm left with these two, which seem a bit like they're in the same price range, even though they're not. Is the Hiby that much better than I expected or is the Sony unnecessarily overpriced? Given the price, I would expect the Sony to be much better, but in your review it sounds very much the same. What about the formats played? Do both handle the same? So far, I've come across several reviews that say the M300 doesn't quite belong among truly HiRes players... Your review restores my confidence in this relatively "cheap" device.

Fiio all the way.

I have an Lg V60 and the only thing i wanted was a zerolemon battery pack for it. That would crush the dap becuase the battery life would be great.

Sony have such catchy names for their products

Can the LG V60 provide enough power for full size headphones like Senn HD650 or HifiMan's Ortoplannars?

Hi Luke. You had R6p2 and now a306. Please advise. I have a 306 Japanese version and I really like it. From Hybi I used to have R6 III. I have an idea to buy R6p2, but I have doubts about how much sense it makes. If we abstract from short battery life of R6p2, how much better will the sound be than a306? Will there be significant differences in sound? Or is it not worth bothering with it?

Very nice review of the Blackstar.Could you please tell me what the amp width is in inches, thanks.

Hi luke another great review mate. How would you compare these to Hidizs MP145 and the kiwi ears orchestra light, then also the kiwi ears quintet and thieaudio hype 4?. Sorry I am a complete newbie so need as much guidance as possible and I intend to match these iems to either the fiio m23 or ibasso dx180 or dx260. Can I also ask what your daily driver DAP is?

Have you had the chance to look at the ibasso dx180 and dx260? How would this compare to those daps?

What about LG wing as a DAP!?

Of all the DosCinco reviews I watched/listened, I enjoyed yours the most! Well done! You might be the right person to ask since you have experience with Fiio - the main reason I was looking at these iems is because i broke the cable of my Fiio FH5 and was considering buying something new instead of replacing the cable. Would the DosCinco be an upgrade or merely a sidestep?

Intrusive ad's should be made illegal, they're another form of subliminal brainwashing. I've been using Brave on iphones for some years now for add free video's, I never bother with the YT app. Those other suggestions are handy for when I get the M300 DAP, cheers. Subbed!

Plex doesn't work/detect any of my Music files for playback. This is why it wasn't included or mentioned as a Music playback option.

1. The treble in the IE600 is controlled by the "foam inside the stock eartips". If you use 3rd party eartips then the treble becomes too much for many people. 2. The "Linsoul Kiwi Ears Flex Earbud Tips" have the same grid as the IE 600 eartips but fit better. You can remove the foam from the IE600 eartips and put it into the Linsoul eartips and it will lower the Treble. 3. Most used IE200/IE300.IE600 and IE900 on the market are sadly fakes so avoid them.

Fiio Music sounds better than usb player. I appreciate your videos they are very educational 😊

Hello luke, been watching your videos to help me decide my first dap! For me, it is really important to have a system wide parametric eq and run qobuz offline...considering this, which one you should recommend? M23 or r6p2? The PEQ of dx180 only works with mango, right? Best regards

Love my v60. Miss my Korean LG V50 with dual screen though. Just liked the Oled screen better. It was also more neutral in sound which paired great with my HD600.

How many hours can you get from the m300

FUCK SONY....Buy a HIBY.

caps for this video would have been a better options, i think )..thanks

are the LG V60's from China legit?

Disagree. Fiio just screams 'cheap' even just from watching the video.

Does anyone know a type of freeze pedal that will gradually decay when you disengage the switch? That’s my only beef with all of these petals.

I call these guitar synthesizer. Nice from the dry to something authored!

I think you've done a great job of covering all the relevant points between these DAP's, Well done bro, thank you.

Question for all it is iimportant to have a micro sdxc card u3 or u1 is enough to store flac to have fast screen refresh or other improvements? Thanks a lo for your help. Greetings from switzerland. Ps asking you that as the price is not the same for high capacity sdxc card

I have the FiiO M17 and I've just bought the KANN ULTRA and now just ordered the FiiO M23. Now if the FiiO M23 can power my SONY MDR-Z7M2 in Desktop Mode then I might return the KANN ULTRA and instead keep the FiiO M23. I doubt if the FiiO M23 will be able to Power the SONY MDR-Z7M2 in the other gain modes. I have also on my shopping list the FiiO FA19 IEMs so hopefully I can test that on all three players mentioned.

does it have spotify or apple music

I have owned at least 50 daps since 2014, in 2024 if your at home and want the best audio quality you will not beat a desktop amp which can be had for less than a midfi dap, I highly recommend fiio K9 AKM, or Hiby FD5 and if your really strapped for cash buy the shanking EH1 those desktop amps sound better than any dap or dongle, for on the go get the fiio btr17 or musehifi M5 ultra

Nice pedal board sir!

Is this the 3 or 4 gb ram version?

Hiby R4 seems like a good DAP, maybe it's worth checking against M300.

Among all the gadgets that have come into your possession or those that you aspire to own, is there a device that could potentially satisfy and cater to all of your specific needs and preferences? I'm curious to know.

You should try the Shanling M3 Ultra. I was initially looking for the DX180, M11S, or M23, but after buying the M11S and using it for three days, I ended up selling it and accidentally bought the M3 Ultra instead. Now, I’m very happy with it in terms of form factor, sound, battery life, performance, etc. I actually enjoy using it, which I didn’t experience with the Fiio.

Picked up a Phinistec Z6 for $40... Works very well. Connects to Bluetooth speaker and audio quality is just fine.

Excellent video!

Where do you guys get high rez. Songs?

How would one know if it’s capped or not?

I'm looking to replace my ibasso dx160 since battery drains so fast. I looked for a55 and found out it was discontinued. Maybe I'll go for a306 or just wait maybe 1-2 years and hope sony will release gain a non android dap like a55
