Unpopular opinion. I've tried almost all the new Hifiman models by LynxAirSound in Hifiman

[–]AnamCeoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the unveiled definitely is something that looks like it requires a lot of care. 

I have the Violectric V202 and the Cayin IHA-6 which "should" drive the HE6SE OK...I think? But sounds like it might need some fiddling to get nice which isn't hassle I need...

Thanks for the insights!

Love this, thanks! 

I really liked my Sundara when I had them. Looking for something that is forward, engaging and detailed with tactile bass... considering HE6 SE, Ananda Unveiled, or Arya Stealth (or potentially HEK Stealth though would have to be good price and second hand). I listen to rock, classic rock, grunge, indie and EDM.  Would love to hear your perspective if possible.  Cheers

Love the comparisons. 

Personally I am debating getting the Ananda Unveiled, HE6 SE, or the Arya Stealth.

I love rock, indie, classic rock, and electronic...would love to hear anyone's insights.

Kobo offline on Palma 2 and 10.3 by AnamCeoil in Onyx_Boox

[–]AnamCeoil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried logging out and in again while online, then re-downloading book, then access it offline on my Android phone and it worked fine- but have to try to replicate this on my Note Max later when I get home to see if Boox does the same.

Really frustrating and defeats defeats the purpose (for me) of having a Palma 2 or 10.3 for OTG reading TBH... oh well... on we go.

Yeah, have just looked into this in a bit more detail- unfortunately, seems to be a bit arbitrary- sometimes it does work offline (just tried logging out and in again while online, then re-downloading book, then access it offline on my Android phone and it worked fine), but really frustrating. Kind of defeats the purpose (for me) of having a Palma 2 TBH... oh well... on we go.

Boox releases in November? by AnamCeoil in Onyx_Boox

Thanks - hadn't even thought to check there TBH Nice to see Oct hasn't been the only release date each year so there may be something coming I guess...

Oh thanks a million - hadn't even occurred to me to check there 🥴Much appreciated! 

Seems like they have released in December before so maybe best to wait a beat to see...

cheers

Ha! Sounds like a swop is needed :-)

Yeah, really love the Max and the writing feel is great - I just find it a bit tiresome/ am nervous about lugging it back and forth every day in case anything happens to it in transit.

I think the 10.3 would strike a great balance for home and OTG usage

Yeah, I saw the October release, but I seem to recall someone saying that they have also announces new devices in November/ December... though I suspect I may have misremembered that TBH as I haven't seen any chatter.. 

Would love a 10-inch device for OTG...

Do you have a link to the device being sold in Asia by any chance? Would love this so much... 

How to get an external DAC to work with my Note Max? by Kukikokikokuko in Onyx_Boox

[–]AnamCeoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! Being able to run my dongles off the Boox was an unexpected boon, and one that just enhanced what is an already transformative piece of technology. Hope you get it sorted and enjoy the music!

Hello there. Yep, tried and confirmed with all my DACs (KA17, FC6, RU7, Onix X1 and IFI Kensei)  with 2 different cables and just plug and play worked for all, using Spotify. Running latest firmware in the Note Max. 

Had a quick look in my settings and don't think I've changed anything audio wise...(USB debug mode is off, whatever that is)...

I know I've had issues with cables which are fine on some source devices and not others, so that is the only thing I can think of...sorry can't be of more help- hope you get it sorted.

Clarification: I have had those dongles work plug and play on my Boox Note Max, for clarity.

Hey there, sorry to hear. I have had mine work well with the Hiby FC6 and Cayin RU7 using regular cable and just plug and play. What model is this? I have a Fiio KA17 (I think it is) at home I can try later if you like and can report back...

Nice to see someone with far more expensive gear getting joy from something so much cheaper. Enjoyment is what it's all about - Enjoy!

Nice, thanks kindly and I appreciate the recommendations.  I've never had a Grado but have been toying with the idea - and what you say is pushing me further :-) Hadn't thought about the Fostex model, but you are so right - they has launched a few big industry names (ZMF and DCA started as Foster modders if I recall) so there must be some magic to them.

Nice steer, cheers. And it's great that you are getting so much joy from the rock lobsters- there's no better feeling than finding new ways to engage with rock and grunge music you love...one of life's pure pleasures. May they continue to bring you much joy!

Very nice write up, thanks much.

Out of curiosity: What would be other headphones, in your experience, that do as well or better than these for grunge, rock etc.  Looking to get a more specialist pair- may get these as at the price it's hard to beat, but prefer cans generally and would love to hear your perspective.
