I wish I hadn’t have discounted iems, since I now use them much more than my over ears, even when I’m at home. I also wish I had have had a better understanding of the type of sound signature I preferred, would have saved myself a lot of time and money. That being said, I did enjoy the journey itself to finding my end game 🙂

      How true is this? I wanted to order a Sonata HD Pro for my Timeless, but I don’t know if they’re really necessary. One of my devices doesn’t have a headphone jack, though.

        for iem most of the time you need a dac is just to remove noise floor, in case if iphone if you want to do system wide eq you will need dacs like btr or qudelix

          I see, I was really interested in the Qudelix but I didn’t want to spend much, considering the Timeless was already rather expensive for me. I have an Android, so for EQ I assume Wavelet/Poweramp is enough?

        Used Apple Dongle with Blessing 2. Bought Fiio KA1, used for two weeks, returned Fiio KA1, back to Apple Dongle. No difference :D
