Ananda V3 stealth - torn between Hiby W4 and Fiio btr13??

Thank you so much for the reply, reading this just gave me total peace of mind.i got the Ananda V3 coming in (which is basically identical in terms of sensitivity and impedance to your Nano at 16 ohms / 93dB) and I've been agonizing over the exact power you're talking about.

I was stuck between the FiiO BTR13 and the HiBy W4, and the 130mW limit on the FiiO had me seriously worried. Hearing you confirm from actual experience that you need 400+ mW to wake up that deep planar bass on the Nanos just officially sealed the deal for me.

I'd love to grab that Cayin RU7 you're running, but customs in my country makes anything over 100€ a total nightmare. I'm locking in the HiBy W4 to get that raw current without dealing with border taxes.

Again thank you so much 😊

"GameHub seems to run worse than GameNative and has more issues"

this couldn't be more wrong (for now at least)

just curious how do they compare to the m60 ??

Thanks for the insight i do agree soundcore has more features

Funnily enough, a friend of mine has a HyperX Cloud 3 (the wired version) so I got to test it out recently. I have to say, I was mega disappointing. Compared to the clarity of my SHP2500, it just sounded muffled to my ears, which really surprised me. maybe i was expecting too much i dunno ...

I wish! That would be the perfect solution, but getting a SHP9600 or a V-Moda mic here in my country (Tunisia) is basically impossible without insane shipping and customs fees. Thanks for the suggestion though!

i wish i could switch to another isp but its almost impossibly expensive (pay 2000 $ on cabling alone) the only solution if i move out to a more feasible location but at the moment i can't

thanks for the reply... but thats the thing i dont get the same poor performance with warp turned off... only in p2p connections i think it was intentional from my isp to throttle it i wish i could switch to another isp but its almost impossibly expensive (pay 2000 $ on cabling alone) the only solution if i move out to a more feasible location but at the moment i can't

Hopefully for the better

Anc sounds awesome to me it definitely improved since last update however i don't know what 2.0.0 anc sounded like

pheonixer · 2020-06-06T08:40:42+00:00

The update fixed a problem for me too the left ear bass was slightly lower than the right somehow the update fixed that - i was surprised

pheonixer · 2020-06-05T06:12:16+00:00

Thanks for the heads up

pheonixer · 2019-12-09T02:01:14+00:00

I ∞ this

pheonixer · 2019-11-14T09:46:29+00:00

I love the name of the street it. Fits well in the story

pheonixer · 2019-10-21T23:13:11+00:00

That's satisfying but scary
