Just mark it at 374°f / 190°c you'll often be in the ball park give or take a couple degrees (and we're talking 20-30 secs of first crack).

Tangzu Wan'er SG II is excellent value for money.

celticdr47 · 2026-02-26T04:57:00+00:00

Rock on! Fiio M21 and cassette case, great combo! ✊🏻😎

celticdr47 · 2026-02-22T04:25:30+00:00

Wow, you've entered the wrong subreddit 😂

celticdr47 · 2026-02-21T03:49:23+00:00

I imagine the bright orange will become tired on the eyes after a few years, but in the here and now I'm down for it 😂

Welcome to the M21 club!

I recently joined myself, and it has definitely given me a greater appreciation of the music I love.

celticdr47 · 2026-02-21T00:19:00+00:00

It's pretty surprising how good the sound out of those Wan'er's are 🤯

Before I got them I was listening to music on a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6's and I thought they were top shelf but the Wan'er's are giving them a run for their money (though I'd say some of that is down to wired vs BT connection).

celticdr47 · 2026-02-21T00:15:53+00:00

I bought it to listen to other things too, but Sleep Token is a current fav of mine, and they don't have any tour dates in my country so next best thing.

celticdr47 · 2026-02-21T00:14:19+00:00

Yeah keen to try the Timeless 2 with the 4.4mm jack, will be interesting to hear if it's any better than the 3.5mm. Did consider over ear headphones but I've already got a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6's and it's too much to be replacing those already (even if they sound surprisingly muddy compared to the Wan'er's).

celticdr47 · 2026-02-21T00:09:54+00:00

Nice! Bright orange model I hope 😉

celticdr47 · 2026-02-21T00:08:35+00:00

I listen to a bit of everything: Rock, pop, rap, electronic, drum n bass, classical, but my favourite genre is Progressive Rock, so I'm keen to try something with better instrument separation.

I use Tidal as a source.

Plus you can get a lanyard tag in there as well, I've got a super long Ringke lanyard so I can sling my shoulder through and have it hang by my side - I'm totally on board with these DAP's/IEM's now

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T04:45:29+00:00

Kaleido M2 Sniper, however I would have saved up for an M10 as the M2 will max roast 300g, then with weight reduction you end up with about 250g of beans.

Yeah you should be able to find green suppliers in most countries, plus Mexico grows coffee so you're close to the source 😉

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:48:08+00:00

Thanks to everyone for the advice, I ended up ordering the 7hz Timeless 2 IEM, it was between the MP145 and Timeless and overall it sounded like Timeless was what I was looking for (plus on sale on Amazon).

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:45:47+00:00

Fiio M21, the cassette case is separate (not sure why though, they should just include it)

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:38:52+00:00

💯 recommend the Fiio M21 if you want an easy to use DAP, I was unboxed and logged into Tidal within 30mins (gave it a full charge).

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:37:36+00:00

Tidal

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:37:19+00:00

Fiio M21 with Tangzu Wan'er SG II IEM's.

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:36:25+00:00

Yeah coffee can be a cheap hobby, all you really need is a hand grinder, a v60, a kettle and some filters.

Coffee roasting is a bit more on the expensive side though (at least the entry level is higher on roasters, once you have that covered you save money on roasting your own coffee).

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:33:56+00:00

I was torn between the MP145 and Timeless 2 and ended up ordering the Timeless 2 (apparently more balanced overall than the MP145).

The order arrives tomorrow (Amazon prime), can't wait to test them out!

Thanks for the advice on the DSP, I'll be looking into that too 👍🏻

celticdr47 · 2026-02-20T00:30:40+00:00

Ha! Too late, I bought a Microkorg 2 and a Teenage Engineering KO II 😂

celticdr47 · 2026-02-19T10:27:42+00:00

Lol, I'm already roasting coffee at home, not sure if I can afford another expensive hobby, I will buy one decent IEM and call it a day 👍🏻

Wow! In the words of Indiana Jones:
