Fosi SK02 All in One DAC and Headphone Amplifier
I recently got this record player for christmas, but from what ive seen and heard, the speakers are bluetooth. But i have no idea how to make the speakers bluetooth. I know that there is the option to hook uo my ohone to the speakers and it will play the audio or music from my phone, but thats not what i want to do. I would like to not have to use the short wires that was given so i can rearange the speakers around my room with ease
If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated
@@ImTooTired_14 speakers are not Bluetooth. They need to be wired to the main unit.
@@ThriftShopReviews Ok, thank you for telling me. I was looking at the product online on amazon and the official site and amost of the videos and images i coukdnt see any wires connected from the speaker to the turn table. But i apprecaite you informing me.

I just got tired of moving my music from phone to phone. That's what started my interests in DAPs.
what's the purpose of the Line Out? I'm confused, I know what a pre-out is, but line out?
$700? Where at
I have them paired with 2 REL T7x's I have the center channel. They are great for music especially paired with the REL'S . They r great for foriegn movies with hard to understand accents. They can cut through accents making the actor more understandable.
All the colors are pretty and if you pay more it may enhance your ears to justify your temporary investment that is until your ears begin itching for that perfect sound.
Loving my DSP version!
Hi! Do you have vinyl samples done with this ADC? I'm lookind for update for my internal soundcard asus xonar stx for vinyl rips, so i'm interested in listening what this device is actually sounds like
Hi. A great review, thanks! I just got this amp and ordered a Wiim Ultra as a digital source, I love watching concerts and EDM straight from UA-cam connected to my TV. Do you think this will be a good match?
I had all the Nagaokas in the past, including the MP-11 and older ones. If you are looking for the „holy grail“ MI cartridge, go for a DECCA London! set it right and it will blown you away. prefer it also to my high priced Phasemation MC with Phasemation T-550 SUT. enjoy 🎉
Now really, worth so much a MC over a good magnet cartridge, like the 300 that you mention ? Is going to sound so diferently ? And what s the difference compare 400 and the 500 of this brand ?
Thanks - now I know !
No logro conectarme por BT desde mis teléfonos Samsung. Sí pude desde un Xiaomi. Alguna idea de por qué sucede eso?
I just bought these…. Now the wait.. BUT, DaVinci or these IEM’s?
Comparing the cart to gold prices is an interesting way of looking at. I'm afraid to look
Im thinking about giving these a try , long delivery times though 😢
@@l67swap1 as others mentioned try someone like linsoul or bloom audio
@ThriftShopReviews awesome , I'll check them out
0:01 I wouldn't BUY this earphone, because I just WON a pair on another UA-cam channel!
Got mine some time back. Really enjoying them so far! I personally find them surprisingly versatile (without the adapter) considering these are basshead IEMs, and with the adapter on it takes the bass to a whole new level, they are incredibly power hungry! A fun listen all round.
Good ol' Blue tak
I ordered one nearly 4 months ago, and also spent an additional 170$ on accessories. Worst mistake I made in life was to buy from fatfreq, they haven't shipped it, no reply to emails that I sent out to their support team.
I just received mine. I ordered in early October. HBB did a video, saying, don't buy from FF. Too late for me. I honestly didn't think they were coming. I got the BASSCANNON Adapter with it as well. I agree with your sentiment about the contents and packaging. I tried mine with a hipdac 3. That comes with a really nice bass frequency 'button'. I felt these are too BASSY. I know HBB's top iem... in the top 3 anyway... It's the FF's top tier - meistro? Anyway- that's probably part of his Collab. But I just felt the sound was overshadowed by the BASS. It doesn't blend well, imo, with the overall song.... Whatever song it is. Maybe I ought to listen to Metallica on it. I was sticking around this review, while typing, to see if maybe I need to run a different DAC/AMP with it? Or I'm just deaf. Well done my friend!👏🏻✌🏻
@@jamiegustkey2573 I used the HiBy r4 and ifi pro ican with R2r dac. Crappy packaging. Sounds great with rock/metal/rap.
Time to change your tier list? :p
Subscribed ✅
@@carminedesanto6746 thank you
Good morning ☕️🍩 A bold statement 🤔
Would it be wise to buy the Musical Fidelity amp or wait for the newer model, with a newer/better dac? Since this amps is from 2014, almost 10 years old? The reviews are all so good, but the amp is reasonably old.
Is buying a used phono2 for under $200 decent now?
Do these new styli fit the old cartridge AT 11E?
The key word is "fun" ... I get some folks want exact musical experience reproduction. Most listeners want fun sounding headphones that may sacrifice some quality for a good sound. Do i want or need to hear the door slam of the original recording or someone coughing. Probably not. If that's your thing then I understand chasing audio listening nirvana. But for the majority of people interested in the hobby. A fun sounding set of headphones is what we are chasing. Great review !!
Very true. I got the ever overhyped S12 Pro's and wasn't moved in the slightest. Got the Kinera Relentless that may label as "different" or "too v-shape" and love em - its exciting and fun. Frankly, from now on i'd stick to what "audiophiles"/elitists don't like. That may be the way for most people who just want to listen and enjoy music instead of analyzing it. Have Estrellas on the way too because it was called "too much" by many so it must be good for my ears.
Can some of you owners let me know if this amp or the 6si runs hot.
You should make a DDC with a input from Ian Canada to make a DDC for the Wiim, and add a LPS for the Wiim Pro.
denon vl12质量很差吗?
Can’t wait for 2025!!
Cool! Thank you so much.😊
be nice if I could put a Jico stylus on it
buy it here apos.audio/products/audeze-maxwell-wireless-gaming-headset?sca_ref=2666590.0euN0PQG0Q
It's the same app as the wiim with a different name,i was told it does not update as much as the wiim,check to see if the remote works with you wiim that would be cool if it did.
Whatis this hand gesturing crap? Annoying
I have the y500 and broke 2 pairs. How is yours holding up?
I'm using the iBasso D16 Taipan with iFi ICAN Pro and ZMF Caldera Closed headphones I'd like to replace the iBasso D16 Taipan. Would the Cyan 2 would be a good choice???
I have a technics 1200 mk2. Would I need additional weight to mount 103?
Great review…what music streamer do you suggest? Thx
My PS100 arrived the other day. I also happen to have the SU-1. These two dacs do NOT sound alike. I have to agree with the reviewer that the ps100 has an addictive quality to it's sound and I too have a hard time shutting it down after extended listening sessions. While the SU-1 has a more clinical sound which is more laid back, the PS100 is in your face with lots of bass and treble. I'm not insinuating that the SU-1 is not as good as the PS100 only that the sound is more engaging with the PS100. The SU-1 owns when it comes to reproducing background instruments with more clarity and detail than the PS100. All in all you can't go wrong with either one.
How does it compare to the Chord Qutest or TT2?
Might try pressing the volume control in, and turning it for inputs.
People in this comments section view the P1/P2 as garbage. An idea heavily promoted by Rega retailers.
I wanted Hiby precisely because it has MSEB and class A amp, R4 is cheap and got what I wanted. Only downside for me is that they do not include a charger
LOL. Since this video was made the DL103R has shot up $200
Wich colour sound did you set?
