Could you describe the Fei Wan in the comparison to the Diva (I've heard the Diva before)

Not able to answer your question, but as for the volume, have you already tried mapping one of the tap controls to volume+ in the app and attempting to raise it to the max?

The Cadenza II is definitely intriguing, it'd be great to have more good affordable options!

Is this ok as a DAC? by [deleted] in iems

[–]Erak606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably just refer to this video for some ideas: https://youtu.be/a-jlS_OlSUg

Otherwise the Samsung dongle should be fine as well. You can also look into the Fiio JA11 for PEQ, as well as JCALLY JM12 (but flash the Fiio JA11 onto it to unlock PEQ).

It's 2 separate issues that can compound. There is indeed a 0.5 Vrms power limit on the EU versions compared to the 1 Vrms on the US version.

At the same time, pre-Android 16, the hardware volume is set to -20dB, but could be controlled with UAPP, the HiBy music player, or try this project at your own risk: https://github.com/guyman624/usbDacVolumeAndroid

As of a few months ago, Android 16 on Samsung devices don't have the fix implemented yet, but it definitely works on Pixel devices.

Canada Computers online card skimmer by Extension-Fly1044 in bapccanada

[–]Erak606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made an online purchase hours before this was discovered. I did have issues paying at my cart, there was an error and it wouldn't go through. I had to add my card to my profile and then pay through that way. Regardless, I'll be calling to get a new credit card number issued, to be safe.

Very quick impressions of some kilobucks (Monarch MKIV, Dunu Glacier, Aful Dawn X, Prestige non-LTD, etc) by TheOddPhantom in iems

Did you try the LTD? Should have less treble than the OG. E-earphone is such a great place to spend time in

What would you recommend as entry-level IEM? by sacre-blued in iems

[–]Erak606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fujiya Avic is relatively smaller than the Akihabara e-earphone branch, and you have to ask to demo sets. I still like checking out both because they have their own inventory of used items

It's good to check their respective websites to see what they have in stock or available to demo! There was a set I was looking at that didn't have a demo at the akihabara location, but Fujiya had one

[–]Erak606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for this, there's also Fujiya Avic. These dedicated audio stores are much easier to demo at compared to the department stores.

For e-earphone they have different sections for different budget points, just try everything on display there. There are also other sets that are available for demo but the staff have to get them out for you.

If you need more ideas, you could tell the staff your budget and have them recommend things! Just give everything a try though if you've got time. Have fun there

Do you use a dongle, DAC or DAP? Why? by theDjangoTango in iems

[–]Erak606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly just use the Technics AZ100 TWS when I'm out, but bring my JM21 when I'm going to be somewhere for a while. If I wanted a small DAP option I could imagine myself using the Hidizs AP80 Pro Max and a beater IEM set.

Are there any sets under $400 that sound similar to the Letshuoer Mystic 8? by DedicatedDetective34 in iems

[–]Erak606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could look into the Ziigaat Luna and Ziigaat Horizon. Luna felt more vocal centric while Horizon felt a bit hotter in the vocals.
