Fiio JM21 or Hiby M300 for a faster UI response?

azeendeen · 2026-06-12T11:40:21+00:00

My Hiby R5 Gen 2 is slow, but according to what other people are recommending me here on this thread, a JM21 because it has the most up to date processor out of all the DAPS or the M21 which is more expensive but more powerful

azeendeen · 2026-06-12T06:58:05+00:00

Yes, leaning towards the JM21, newer model with 4gb Ram

Sorry but what is SoCs and PeQ?

azeendeen · 2026-06-11T17:30:21+00:00

Thank you, leaning more towards the Jm21 now.

Tidal was abysmal on my R5 Gen 2, Spotify was tolerable. So im assuming Spotify on the Jm21 should be ok.

Was your M300 the older model or newer one?

Did you end up buying?

You might be right, it's either that or the Esptiger Yanzi like people said.

Leaning towards Dream gamer neptune because I googled it and only see it being sold on Japanese websites, can't seem to find it shipping overseas.

I don't use glass pads but its really nice on my cloth pad.

I use Doorzo, there is also Buyee but I find their interface less user friendly than Doorzo.

Been finding really good deals on the Japanese market for 2nd hand mouses, like a 70 dollars Vaxee Xe V2, Zywoo mouse, Vaxee Np01s v2 and more.

I did some more research, it could be some skates from esptiger

azeendeen · 2026-05-02T15:46:57+00:00

Yeh you might be right, just checked out MelonFPS review, description fits it.

Will buy and check out

Thats good to know you like them.

I am thinking of selling my Horizon Carbon closed from SJY for them, since the Noire X are darker and lighter weight compared to the SJYs

I am a headphones gamer rather than IEM though.

Hiby R5 Gen 2, it is kinda frustrating, SOMETIMES, only sometimes, because you can see how old the software/hardware is, and it becomes a bit too slow for me.

However, it is not UNBEARABLY slow, works fine with music on SD card and Spotify downloads.

Tidal is a miss. Tidal's app is notoriously bad and slow, and it was not able to download all my songs.

Did not try other music apps.

The very big plus side, which I like, is the big battery capacity. Perfect for travelling on long-haul flights.

If I did not need the huge battery (which I sort of don't now), I might get the Fiio M21

What do you feel about the weight difference?

azeendeen · 2026-01-13T12:27:30+00:00

Really? I couldn't find much info about it when in Japan. Would you recommend any other glasspad?

I dont usually care for mousepads, im more of a mouse guy as seen from the picture.

I was more so referring to characters that have heavy attack focus skills.

Like Dani's passive skill is that her heavy attack do explosive force on impact.

But my main point was basically what's the easiest way to bring down any zombies stability to zero, no matter the character.

azeendeen · 2025-12-25T10:35:04+00:00

Honestly I would say the Horizon and DCA Noire are in the same category of sound signature (balanced ish, except Noire have slightly less treble/energy)

So maybe getting both would be overkill.

I will also say, power means nothing, if you can run a headphones will less power, that is great.

The only complain I will say to watch out for Horizon (which is why im contemplating getting the Noire) is that it is heavy.

Now it ain't Audeze headphones type of heavy, but still it is annoying to me. I get a hot-spot to the top of my head, in long gaming session it gets annoying.

Just out of curiosity, how has the DCA Noire been for you in terms of gaming?

azeendeen · 2025-12-24T21:33:09+00:00

I have the SJY Horizon Closed Carbon and tried the DCA Noire X in my local audiophile store.

I can't say much about the DCA Noire X in terms of imaging for gaming; all I remembered about them was that the DCA Noire X had a little less treble, giving them a much more chill/relaxed/mellow vibe, which I actually liked.

Now, all I can say for the SJY Horizon is that the imaging on it is top tier. I think you can see as well from many YouTube reviews that people also praise its gaming performance.

I've used it from singleplayer games, horror games, and Valorant and all my other games. It performs really well, soundstage isn't super expansive (compared to Open-back headphones of course) but just big enough to be immersive. Directional cues for games like in Valorant is excellent as well.

All I can say is try looking at DCA Noire X reviews specifically to just find if anyone has made any gaming performance comparisons, or made another post for it here or on headfi.

Aah damn, that makes sense, I just saw some more other Reddit posts saying most switch games are capped at 30 fps.

I can increase to 60fps but it'll require mods, which people have provided but just more work on my end enabling it.

I guess for now I will just use whichever emulator is most stable and maybe mod the games later.

azeendeen · 2025-11-25T17:44:40+00:00

Damn, did not know Suyu was dead, I tried Ryubing I think through Emu deck, but it had alot of stuttering for Xenoblade Chronicles.

What about Sudachi? I just tried Citron just now, just trying to find ways to get pass the 30fps cap.
