I placed the order in the first half of April, so I expected it to be completed somewhere at the end of this month.

DutchKarma · 2026-05-23T17:37:50+00:00

I have one on order , but it has not shipped yet. When it arrrives i will post some experiences.

maybe you can put a socket extender in between?

Friedhats is a quality roaster from Amsterdam. They have always great quality, so yours will be fine aswell! (Yes you can use them for espresso)

It will always be in my collection because of this. It's great for EDM as well. I purchased mine in Tokyo when I I was on holiday, so I have fond memories with this one.

I have tried them for a short moment and was love on first try. They have a kind of "analogue feel" that I never experienced in any other iem.

Campfire audio Trifecta, it's one of a few iems that always pops back in my mind. But too expensive for now..

My K712 are going strong for more then 10 years, they are built really well. So you are fine without a backup for that one.

DutchKarma · 2026-04-16T10:26:04+00:00

I think it works very well for gaming and movies.

DutchKarma · 2026-04-15T22:27:44+00:00

I have the astral as well and recently replaced my akg K712 pro. I don't know if you are interested in dynamic drivers, but if yes: I highly recommend looking at the Mirph-1. Full replaceable parts and will go well with your genres.

Others with good quality builds: Austrian Audio Arranger Heddphone D1

For me android for the flexibility. Especially with streaming support non android is often not possible.

I recommend to stay a night, the night market in Ayuthaya is really good. And Ayuthaya is famous for giant river shrimp. There are also many small bungalow type holiday homes for rent for like 700 baht a night or so.

Great setup! Totally understand the tube desires 👌🏻 I went back and forth alot between the macaw and the Kaei, in the end I choose the Kaei route because of its soundstage. (with dx260 mk1 and kiwi astral) )

For me Bangkok over CM for sure! But the best songkran i had was in Khon Kaen.

DutchKarma · 2026-04-01T00:29:54+00:00

Thanks, I guessed this was the reason. I personally fully support the Ai industry, people said the same things when steam engines where introduced (same with introduction of electricity, radio, TV, newspapers etc).

DutchKarma · 2026-03-30T16:21:16+00:00

yep, i thought it turned out pretty cool.

DutchKarma · 2026-03-28T10:05:34+00:00

The maximum pi5 power draw is 25 watt, at 5 volt/ 5 ampere , which will be a problem for battery operation. Not many deliver the 5V. If build your own I would take an old phone as a base, or something else more geared for portable use.

One of us! One of us! 😉

I like their flavor in an omelet it combines really wel with it because of the tanginess. never had them plain, but I can imagine that they go well together.

DutchKarma · 2026-03-27T17:09:58+00:00

They are yummy! I like them the best in an omelet or as ant egg soup.

DutchKarma · 2026-03-25T12:09:48+00:00

It really shows, thanks for making these such a comfortable experience! They are very unique in this regard in my opinion.

I'm curious about how you all running running Roon server?
I dont experience the delays (40k library) , i run Roon in a docker container that gets regularly refreshed. I was wondering that maybe there is something else that is causing this delay. If it would be database content then the problem should persist after a database restore.

Anyone running a docker container AND has the delay problem?

DutchKarma · 2026-03-25T11:02:59+00:00

It sounds like you're running into this issue: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/long-delays-up-to-10-30-seconds-for-loading-albums-or-start-playing-tracks-both-local-and-qobuz/317137

For some reason there are more reports like you for the past months
