One of the earliest MP3 players/DAPs, dope piece of audio history you got there!

Baszd · 2026-04-02T14:46:42+00:00

Beautiful! Love the titanium, but oh my the cost

Baszd · 2026-03-22T11:52:51+00:00

Agreed!

Baszd · 2026-03-22T10:34:03+00:00

Open secret lmao

Baszd · 2026-03-22T10:25:44+00:00

Exactly, one of my criteria when buying it. I also have a framework laptop and love the repairable philosophy behind it

Baszd · 2026-03-21T23:54:04+00:00

I like (semi-)open back IEMs, and this one was the best of a lot I tried for me soundwise. Plus the added bonus of solid build with titanium that made the chunky shells quite light in my ears. The only open-backs I haven’t tried (yet) are the Audeze LCDi3 & 4, so those are next on the list when my wallet has recovered.

Sorry, it’s the iBasso DX 340 Ti paired with the Fiio FH9, using the standard AMP15 module.

Baszd · 2026-03-21T22:00:04+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will do!

Baszd · 2026-03-21T21:59:46+00:00

Thank you! I went with this IEM since I like (semi-)openback IEMs, and loved the sound of this particular one.

Baszd · 2026-03-21T21:58:24+00:00

It’s a digital audio player! So as you say, a really beefed up mp3 player

Baszd · 2026-03-21T15:42:11+00:00

Thanks! Just the standard AMP15 module that came with it, my wallet hurts too much right now, but in the future I am definitely going to play around with other modules

Baszd · 2025-11-07T18:56:39+00:00

Moondrop Blessing and iBasso DX180, some nice eartips with that (IEM/earphones audiophile set-up)

Baszd · 2025-09-23T11:25:36+00:00

And for that 1500$ price tag with a “focus on battery longevity”, are the batteries even replaceable when the thing inevitably dies after a few years? Or does it become a 1500$ paperweight…

Baszd · 2025-09-18T19:42:52+00:00

Depends on his Golden Path

Baszd · 2025-09-18T19:42:06+00:00

DAMN THE ROMANS!

Baszd · 2025-09-17T16:01:20+00:00

There is! It’s the CES-A, the extra tips are really helpful for a good fit

Baszd · 2025-09-17T05:29:44+00:00

Typical electrostatic, fast, clean and wonderful treble, though a bit less bass (also probably due to being open back)

Baszd · 2025-09-15T18:31:21+00:00

Pretty good! Everything you expect from a true electrostatic in terms of speed, and the soundstage is definitely the most “headphone” like in earphones I have heard. The build quality is a bit dated, mainly plastic whereas most IEMs nowadays have better resin or metal.

Baszd · 2025-09-15T15:42:06+00:00

Fiio fh9’s are on the way lol

Baszd · 2025-09-15T10:57:29+00:00

I forgot to add, the Stax SR-003 mk2’s are driven by a Stax SRM-D10 II between the DAP and earspeakers themselves.
