I've been watching Z since 2015 and this is my first time being this early
Who cares
It happens to all of us as we get older.
He does @Nordraw .. Let him have this.
i just found your channel. the anime girls just casually scattered around as props is glorious
I hope not to disappoint in the future.
Wow, right out of the gate it powers the Tungsten's!!!!
This is exactly what I've been waiting for, they have all the features I want. Transparent, 4.4mm, PEQ, lots of power. Too bad its out of my budget at the moment but its nothing crazy expensive, this seems like my endgame, I really don't see a reason to get anything else.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 We always find one.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 Idk me personally, I don't think I will find something else better that's worth upgrading to from this. I don't think DAC/amps are supposed to even be audibly different from each other and most of them sound pretty much the same, excluding tube amps, at least I can't really tell a noticable difference. This has every feature I need and isn't ridiculously priced and more power than I'd ever need. Maybe something will come out that has everything this has for cheaper, in that case I'd buy that instead of this but I would not upgrade from this.
I bought the 30s off your recommendation, haven't been happier with this combo, time for an upgrade!
20:21 - FiiO JT1's are closed.
The foam under the grills is a non-porous closed-cell foam.
It's also described as a closed-back on FiiO's own website.
I REFUSE!
Secondly, Z, how would you compare the sound of this A50 / D50 mark III stack vs the sound from a Geshelli JNOG2 SOCKETED with a AK4499 DAC chip? Thx in advance!
Is it a good pairing with the Empy 2?
I'm using the Dekoni Audio Elite Velours with my FiiO JT-1's, and it's working really well for me.
Youve got me thinking about some wild ideas Zeos
So, Tungstens right
Power
DAC into Guitar Tube Amplifier and headphone out through a Balanced XLR output ? Yay/Nay ?
13:05 You could also set up up that the dac wakes up when your pc turns on and then 12v triggers the amp
If the trigger worked down to 5v you could get a USB adapter to do that.
@@ZReviews not sure if it just needs a constant voltage or if it is a pulse
Z, how would you compare the sound of this A50 / D50 mark III stack vs the sound from a Topping DX3 Pro+? Apart from the difference of A50 / D50 having balanced interconnects. I am on a tight budget and in the market for an amp/DAC combo, your opinion would be a huge help!
Zeos Pantera, ladies and gentlemen, possibly the only audio reviewer who isn't sitting on his doorstep waiting for Amazon to deliver his pair of Sonos ACE. The only man who looks more like Chino Moreno IS Chino Moreno, and ask yourself this - have you ever seen them both in the same photo ? I rest my case.
noodle topper miku topping the topping, of course.
ZEOS I challenge you to make a video of using the dongle dacs as main dac on a pc while hooked up to your favorite headphone amp. I have been doing this with the M15 and the ifi XCan and I think it's amazing. But I would like to know what you think about a setup like this and how and what combinations you would pair together
I mean the Muse M3 Mk2 has a Line out mode so I'd do that with a 4.4 to XLR cable.. Or I still have the Woo Audio USB dac that is just wires.
Are this good as all in one solution for headphones and IEMs ? (Without damaging them )
Yes. Very few amplifiers will damage headphones and iems.
Im here for it and so is my wallet
Can you hook a sub up to this? If so, how would you? Any recommendations for PC amps that allow a sub?
What would be a good speaker amp to pair with these?
We want smol or POWWWWAH.. Fosi V3?
I have this D50 III only and it's flat and small enough to carry it around in my laptop bag. I only power it with USB-C from my Macbook since it does both power and signal from a single USB-C cord. I don't use an amp cuz the D50 III is more than enough power for IEMs. It's the best "sit-down at a café and work on a laptop" DAC~
Wait.. You have just the Dac and use it to power IEMs? Do tell.
@@ZReviews Yes! I output from the 1/4" L/R TRS in the back into a single 1/8" adapter for my IEMs - the power is more than sufficient for like 99% of all IEMS probably. The sound is "flat" BUT crystal clear and great separation at all frequencies. Technically speaking it's a great experience, though there's no coloring or omph from an amp, per se. BUT this is where the programmatic EQ comes in! You can play around with the PEQ to imitate a good amp. Adjust it the way it fits best for your IEMs! My IEMs have recessed lower-mid to mids, so I PEQ then and now they sound the way I want it to!
Since it only needs a single USB-C cord for power & signal I use it like a portable DAC - at least it's a flat pancake, lol. Not really for walking around, but great if you take it to a coffee shop or work and just sit down at a table.
Topping is the anti-fun, lol. That's why I got the DX9. Don't sound like new topping. Sounds like old school Topping
For some reason about 6 months ago my D50 stopped connecting with my phone through the hibymusic app. sometimes it does work but not for more then 5 minutes. Same issue with a Teac i had years ago with Monkey app. When i try something with a hdd with music on a device and a phone as remote it seems to give up on me at some point. Don't know why. Makes me going back to my cd collection for the third time now and afraid to buy another one again.😔
Just dont buy china based gear. Quality control is unknown to them. Have a drawer full of toppings smsls fiios aunes that stop working under a year.
@@justanobody4983 really? my god, i did not buy from china.
What model number is the waifu printer?
Canon Imagegraf Pro-1000
Sound Burger Stack
I understand your supporting the Tungsten. I don't want to spend $1400 on head phones.... My best pair are my balanced Z-Mod [with a nice cable #Forza] DT880's. Could you do a review on OUR tried and true to this next generation can. I have great gear, but these make me feel I am falling behind. Best, D.
Well I do tend to use things people are asking about. I wish I knew what the Next Gen Can was going to be. But there are some arguments around what that is and isn't.
@@ZReviews Thank you for the reply back. I have a better system than I give myself credit for. You help me a lot Best, D. From Stl..
Time to sell my E50-L50 stack😂
Please suggest a DAC that will pair nice with S3000 pro without costing a kidney!
The Edifier Self Powered Speakers? Um just feed them digital so it doesn't need to make the conversion from A to D for the DSP.
@ZReviews thank you! This is what I do with optical, but in your review, you had some DAC on it, and I'm jealous and curious!
Why get these over like a magni unity, which have almost the same power, measured almost as good but is 189$ and doesn't sound as boring.
Or talking about a50 iii, why get that thing over a magni heretic for just 59$ that measured almost just as good and sounded not as boring.
I don't have enough Schiit in my life to compare to but, Balanced Connections, a Remote control, Bluetooth, Optical and Coax inputs. I love Schiit, but this is a different beast in most cases. That Boring sound may not be as boring as you remember also.
@@ZReviews you're paying 2.5-3.5 times more with the topping just for some convenience, and you can add all of that features (except balanced connector, which even in a90d that I owned, just a convenience to cope, not really sound better) for less than 100$ with something like the wiim mini(modi still have a coax and optical in btw, just no bluetooth, and a modi + magni plus is less than 200$, and a 6.3/3.5 to 4.4 adapter is another 20$ at best, so full combo from wiim to modi magni to 4.4 adapter will still cost less than 300$, and have a network streamer).
In the past, I was a topping fan and don't like schiit because I think they're over price, now it's the complete opposite. I got mine a90d just because it's on flash sale for 280$ shipping and tax included, but that's 1 unit sale (brand new product).
I am annoyed with topping. I had a failing channel in my amp. The solution they gave me was to shove a piece of paper in the balanced hole before inserting the plug and call it a day.... No topping... no... you replace the unit. What in the hell kind of solution is that?
This man said links to all the headphones in the description… proceeds to gives us the tungsten link like it does anything…. Us normies can’t order man
He was doing Friday drops but now the backlog is high again. I told him about the basics of Supply and Demand.
@@ZReviewstell him to allow the orders that will close out the year so he can get a better handle for next year after he gets all of the 2024s out
It’s bigger than the P50, the stack is ruined
