    I'd really like to see you review the NF Audio NM2+ iem. A lot of reviewers are praising it for being neutral as in monitor worthy for a reasonable price and I'm curious what you'd have to say about it as you're one of my more trusted audio reviewers here on yt

    I just ordered a 2015 edition of the mini i pro. I wouldn't buy the newer models as I'm only interested in having a DAC and not interested in the extras like streaming and bluetooth, lan etc... The price of these in 2015 was $520 USD. The 2015 model has the ES9016 Ultra DAC chip in it (Sabre).

    Does the Mini-i Pro 3 automatically switch between speaker and headphone outputs? Or does it play both at the same time?

    • @NoThemeReviews

      It switches to headphone output when headphones are connected.

    Any interest in a proper video on the amiron wireless copper? Or a quick comparison to the panda, even if in a comment. I've been eyeing them recently

    • @NoThemeReviews
      @NoThemeReviews  3 роки тому +3

      I compared the Copper to the Panda in the Panda review. But in short: the Copper has more treble emphasis and a slight push in female sibilance. Bass is similar to the Panda. Comfort is greater on the Copper. Unlike the Panda, the Copper does not have any audible noise in the BT signal. Over wireless, the Copper has slightly reduced sibilance and treble compared to wired. The Panda’s performance doesn’t seem to change in that regard.

    Nice review..used to have the first imini matrix but i always felt it was not that good at soundstage and it was too smooth, not analytical. It also failed as headphone amp. The new one seems upgraded, but i am not sure how it could be compares against something like pioneer u 05 or marantz dac1 ...

      Hi friend, the mini-i 3 is totally different with the first version mini-i DAC, from the DAC chip, the circuit layout, the power supply, and the headphone amp, they are completely different except the brand name. 😀 It's worthy to have a try.

    I have been using a MATRIX Mini-i Pro bought in 2014.
    Works well though, some of the LED segments have failed.
    Seriously considered upgrading to the Mini-i Pro 3, 4th Gen.
    But was disappointed to note that:
    1. LAN not with PC or Android. Only iPhone, iPad or macOS computer over AirPlay.
    2. No direct connection to HD or SSD
    So I am looking elsewhere.

    No returns on Matrix Audio products!!!
    If you consider buying a Matrix product be aware that there is no return option on their products.
    I bought two weeks ago a mini-i pro 3 but It does not suit me (no good integration with my system).
    After contacting Matrix their final word is that they do not allow returns. I think HIFI producers, when they sell direct, should allow returns, What do you think?
    Any case be absolutely sure, for 100%, before you set your order.

    Not i can’t wrap my head around the fact that this device is not capable of being connected to an external drive locally. How could it be called a streamer? You can’t even connect the MA mini-i pro 3 to an external DAC via usb. Why should anybody take this over Cocktail Audio N25? I don’t understand MA mini-i pro 3. it doesn’t make any sense as a streamer
