One of the most entertaining videos you’ve done in some time. Was great going on the journey to see so much great you still have that we haven’t seen in ages
Because I wanted to watch you lose it
Shoutout to Nip, Dedication 12:40
Excited for this mystery item
Great video. The Periodic Studio Rhodium is smaller than that dongle DAC that you took out of the box. Sounds great, too.
I used to go with things blue-tacked together but nowadays just the go Blu and the Nannas and couldn't be happier.
Zeos, how do you even know what cock rings are. That's GAY culture.
These are the videos I enjoy the most tbh
Z has always been so dismissive of the lg v series in favor of dongles. The v50 and v60 came into existence around the time flagship performance started to plateau and they have incredible audio performance with no dongles. Even just as a portable dap theyre incredible. Plus theyre super inexpensive. Honestly even the v40 is probably fine. Im putting off "upgrading" to dongles as long as I can.
well im def buying the Blon collab lol. those are def the bl-05's which i love. so that color with the new tune. yep. thats a buy.
iem cables always go under the shirt for me tho so no reason for leather strap.
Must consooooooooooooom new content!
I’ve been looking for a good portable amp with 4.4 and optical out forever, you show me the Honey H1, it’s my absolute everything, then I find out they don’t do it anymore. Thanks for nothing Zeos 😢 😂
Fan of Rube Goldberg solutions. Even on desktops. Have a Woo Audio Firefly WA7 mk3 in my bedroom. Trying to figure out how to feed it USB OTG via anything that has a Bluetooth receiver (for TV audio). So far can’t find anything. Apple I’m using a Toping d50 and the analog inputs. Boeing! I want to try the Woo’s DAC. Topping M50 would have been ideal but those are unobtanium.
Suggestions? I tried an OTG and an adapter cable connected to an old 30 pin cable and car bluetooth dongle. Should have worked. Didn’t. Really looking for ideas!?
PS: which gets you a bigger slice of cake? Signing up on subscribestar or Patreon?
BOLTH
Last thought… strange desktop setup is in my office…
IMac -> THX Onyx Dingle Dangle Dongle in the Dirt DAC -> Pioneer RT707 Reel to Reel to Naim Uniti Atom HE -> Neumann KH 80s. Plus a turntable to a Puffin’s digital out to the Naim.
I also alternate between OG AKG701s and Focal Radiance plugged into either the Naim or the R2R depending on the mood.
Inefficient as F and would piss off 2/3 of the Internet forum police. But a ton of joy.
My ears are shit and can't tell the difference between Bluetooth ldac, tws Samsung's, or wired headphones so Im fine with either. I came from the fiio btr1 and I can tell the difference from that but nothing Bluetooth 5.0 and up. Probably upgrade my lgv60 when it dies or Bluetooth 6 comes out
The problem with better dongle dacamps is that they drain your battery HARD i get 2 Hours from 80% > 20% with the ibasso dco4 pro and 4.4 balanced thieaudio ghost.
2 hours is quit pathetic and i immediately bought a qudelix 5k
Great video…!!! Insightful, attainable audio hacks that no one ever mentions…!!! Why did I watch your video you ask… Well, it was just long enough to kill a six-pack of tall boys and Netflix sucks… most times!!!
I've been rocking my little Hiby R3 with a Hip-Dac 2, can happily drive even my most difficult planars. If I want some portable tube action, swap the Hip-Dac 2 for a Littlebear B4-X.
Missed a massive opportunity for a Zeos E-Girl 'UhU', there.
Watching this on double speed is like witnessing the kind of nervous breakdown I may be ok with having
Be good to get your take on portable setups for closed headphones (Fostex TH-610… *hint*)
There is an M15S now
I've got R3 Pro Saber connected with Mojo2 like a sandwich for few months, it was awesome. However I went back to standard android DAP solution, it's just more convenient. Anyway I like the part about experimenting with audio – we are all hyped daily by some new stuff that's always better. Who needs it anyway? Right now we have awesome devices, we don't need to upgrade each fckng month. Music is the most important anyway. Cheers
why? because watching the decent into madness was weirdly cathartic
Honestly I personally use the Fiio m11 plus as a Everyday Text only phone, it helps to remove all the Noise and complications from my life and just Enjoy what I enjoy. (is also Doubles as a bludgeoning Device and wont be stolen cuz its a pound lmao)
If you wanna go nuts with the channel, DIY speakers and stupidity go great together
ddhifi products are awesome
Riddle me this – Is it OCD or audio paranoia, easy way to remove the chill. Hard to tell if you are taking the piss or commiting a cluster FCK. Why, because this is what I intend to avoid seriously and it's hillarious. Well done but so insightful
Neck-amp's are genius. I don't understand why they aren't popular with Headphones and basically only exist for IEM's
I gotta say. I wish I never searched for "Z reviews face". Kinda ruined it for me. There's nothing wrong with your face, you're a handsome chap, but you don't look like an asshole.
Yeah, lg quad dac, heck yeah.
Yes, I like it when you do the stuff like this. I'd love it if you did a tips roundup. Have you heard of the Pentaconn Coreir brass eartips? Gizaudio recently did an unboxing.
My setup is a Sony Walkman NW-A45 Plugged into a FiiO E11K headphone amp. I use Koss Pro-4AA headphones. The volume setting on the Walkman is 115 and the amp. is set at 6 with gain and bass on. It sounds great!!!
