Moondrop Blessing2 + Spinfit W1 tips + balanced modular cable + Fiio BTR3K
This setup is comfortable and secure in my ears all day long & sounds great on the 2.5mm balanced port of the btr3k. I usually keep in it LDAC or APTX-Hd and its basically indistinguishable from lossless. Plenty of power and an overall pleasing sound signature thanks for the AKM dac.
Btr3k should get upgraded eventually
Not perfectly loseless … fiio using Bluetooth… crap. And the CCR smack them erday.
Akko clears caps are great, have them on my daily board as well
The Blessing 2 have outstanding design/sound 😬🙏 glad i could found some used ones on ebay germany for 150€. On ebay Japan they asked for 250€ used 🤌🏻
right on man, that’s about what I paid for mine 😼👌
I find the W1 tips on the B2 too sibilant compared to the stock tips, do you feel the same or is it totally fine for you?
LG V30-V60,
The IEM is probably different for each person. But mine is KZ ZS7, Tin Audio T2, or TRN V90
I used to be like you purchasing, and chasing every new $50ish Chi-Fi IEM that came out.
Etymotic ER2 XR … $100
You NEED to purchase COMPLY tips to go with them or you will think I’m crazy
Detailed, vocal forward, with a touch of clean bass.
Budget and endgame dont go together.
curious what your idea of “budget audiophile” would be? $20? 10?
Nearly same boat: 7hz timeless, balanced cable from Amazon, spinfit cp155, through a qudelix 5k. Def gonna be my endgame.
What is the bluetooth part? You are driving cabled IEMs with the Fiio, correct?
The Fiio is using Bluetooth connection from the source
correct
stop this nonsense about “endgame”
This is budget, in western world you can buy this with one month salary… idk why everyones bitching
in the uk this whole setup cost me about 1/13 of the average national salary…they just love nitpicking 😄
Man I don’t earn shit and can still comfortably buy this shit haha
It’s budget for audiophile world but if most of my friends wanted this setup they would say it’s too expensive. My setup is Hifiman Sundara and it’s about the same price. But I still wouldn’t call it budget? This sounds elitist as hell just saying.
My simple setup at the moment is an iPod classic 7th gen and truthear hola. I also have a BTR5. I bought a pair of truth x crin zero red so looking forwards to that.
I prefer overears most the time so don’t spend too much on iem.
How can a bluetooth device be considered audiophile when bluetooth streams in lossy compression?
which cable is this?
i forget the exact name but it was a modular cable form amazon. Comes with 3.5mm SE, 2.5mm bal and 4.4mm bal connectors
Hakugei, and a few no name brands make modular cables. Just be sure to get regular 2 pin and not qdc connector like those on kz sets
I use the same DAC and a pair of vintage MDR-V6 over the ear phones when on the go, sounds great.
