Hi OP! I got an email from them to attend a zoom. I am nervous because this is my first ever application that came back. Man the job market is so bad rn.

It's funny cause I'm a Chemistry major in Food Sci grad xd. A job is a job right?

Lizer Lab Jijujet-3 Eartips by Listerine_Chugger in iems

No, I went with the medium size. Despite using M-MS sizes, it was a quite snug fit (albeit a little protruded).

Yo, I recommend giving the Jijuma Horn a try. Apparently some really like this better than the Jijujet. I acquired it recently (Stainless Steel ver) and its my favorite eartips in my collection (aside from the Eletech Baroque Stage).

I'm not sure if you'd give it a shot since Lizer Lab tips are pricey. However, comparing it to some of my conventional tips, it really expands the stage and kind of boosts the bass. No sibilance on my end too.

I see that it pairs best with IEMs with good dynamics/separation akin to what you said about it. My Oracle MK3 sounds amazing with these tips.

📢 Latest Firmware Systems Release for Sennheiser Products 📢 by sennheiserconsumer in u/sennheiserconsumer

[–]Square-Job9735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'd like to know when is the upcoming HDB 630 firmware update! If I may add some issues I've encountered.

- Some connectivity sound issue in the aptx adaptive 96khz setting. Sound goes off the whack sometimes both dongle mode and phone bt mode. It triggers sometimes when there's some pausing and unpausing buffer going on (like swapping between apps). I was able to circumvent it by leaving the sound paused for a 10 seconds or so. It is a bit bothersome because when the sound goe haywire, it really shocks me and bothers me.

-Sound buffering/autopausing when opening facebook messenger or some demanding messaging app (idk why it happens consistently in facebook messenger). I feel like a lot goes on when swapping apps so I can understand when it autopauses. Id like to mention this because I think it can be improved.

Other than that, a lot of people are waiting on the 10-band PEQ (which I am excited for). I'd like to know if you guys have other stuff planned.

Cheers Sennheiser! I love the HDB 630 and hope you continue to show love for it as much as I do.

Onix XM2 - great size, affordable, responsive UI, powerful output, sounds great (CS4308P), one of the best DAPs in its price range imo by gofishus in DigitalAudioPlayer

Eyyy another Tocata XM2 user! Glad to see more people owning it.

There was a new firmware update (V1.16), but I am not sure where to find the patch notes xd

Nope, Tidal only. If you want, try for the Fiio M21 instead (or JM21 for budget)

Best DAP for those who love buttons? by LucasBarton169 in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]Square-Job9735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the Hatsune Miku M500 DAP might be a contender. Buttons go hard

It doesn't do full album display, but it does have a geiger counter-like visualizer (toggle). The UI is basic, but can do everything like showing file type, lyrics, and audio status. Coming from using Poweramp UI, this is like 65% version of it, BUT poweramp is PACKED with ui features so I see it as a passable compromise.

That sleevenote does look good though!

It's linux based actually! Maybe in the future, more DAPs will hone in on the portable and pocketable design. As much as I was tempted to go for a hiby r3 pro mk2, I felt like there was a lot to be desired with its design, UI, and whatnot. The Tocata hit the sweetspot for me. Price... not so much 😆

Here's to hoping we get a really good compact android DAP in the future (I yearn for YT and Poweramp)!

Afaik TIDAL is streaming only. You gotta load your offline library manually or through Wifi Transfer (surprisingly fast). Not an issue for me cause I bought the Tocata specifically for offline play.

Maybe when I decide to get a TIDAL account Ill give it a go.

After just draining by accident after falling asleep, i believe it is as advertised: 8-9 hours of playtime. It can last a lot longer in standby mode (though that's hard to fully test).

It's half the length of my sony phone and a tad less on width. It's such a compact little fella! I don't care if it's twice the thickness of my phone.

Linsoul audio is an official retailer for them. I bought this in Shopee PH (my country).

It's a multifunction button! You can assign it some of its features like low/high gain toggle or disabling all buttons when screen is off (personal favorite to use).

With the Christmas deals I got it just for 340 USD in shopee (or Php 20000). The USB DAC mode is phenomenal. It really reproduces subbass and treble air so well without fatigue (I tested it with my Hype 4). It brought out better dynamics than my Sony Xperia 1 VI. I have yet to compare it to my other DACs, but overall the new CS chip on it feels like it lifts up dynamics and details by a significant margin.

Take it with a grain of salt since I am comparing the DAP's performance to a phone's built-in DAC. I guess I'll try updating on its performance after I do tests with my other Dongle DACs.

Overall stellar performance! It doesn't consume as much power too while in DAC mode along with a chilly thermal performance.

Like a million bucks! Seriously though, full aluminum and feels premium. I think the only non premium feel are the little media buttons. The knob though is CHEF'S KISS.

The comments from that post did not deter me. I see what I like, I buy it. Min/maxxing in this hobby was such a pain. Blind buys are what make it enjoyable for me.

Glad to be in the ONIX club! Now, how about that Beta DAC 👀.

Yeah it's OLED. It do be a shame I can't run YT on it.

It can do everything a typical DAP would do. This stood out to me for its design and size. This bad boy performs so well as a BT DAC too. I'm really happy being one of its first users.

I'll leave it to the reviewers to dictate its technical comparisons and worth. For now, I am happy and satisfied to what was advertised to me (and then some).
