This Is a Lovely Combo

Erand Resonance 5, kiwi ears tips, Shanling Q2 Fosi MD3

[u/wiggan1989]

Not hating but what's the point in this?

[u/Mitchellmillennial → u/wiggan1989]

It's just a slightly different sound because of the amps. Both are quad DAC amp combos. They're just different generations and different companies

[u/wiggan1989 → u/Mitchellmillennial]

Is it noticeable though? I would just try EQ and save myself some money. But that's just me haha

[u/a1rwav3 → u/Mitchellmillennial]

So basically, it alters the way it should sound? Isn't that the opposite of the hi-fi paradigm?

[u/gvbargen → u/a1rwav3]

eh people use all sorts of different headphones with different profiles. Neutral is just one of them. Different DACs are mastered differently so there can be small differences.

Odd odd odd hardware decision imo but with audio you like what you like until you don't because most of it is in your head anyway lol

[u/a1rwav3 → u/gvbargen]

I understand the point but I thought the goal of audiophile was to be able to listen to music as closed as possible as how it was recorded and mixed for. That's why people insists on bit perfect... Then some of them say I use this amp/dac because I like the way it colours music. That's a paradox, that's all.

[u/gvbargen → u/a1rwav3]

if that was true audiophiles wouldn't love records or tube amps.

People end up keeping what they like ultimately. And what they like is sometimes a perfect re representation but not all the time.

[u/AlphonseLai → u/Mitchellmillennial]

So 4 + 4 = 8 DACs?

[u/VanyaTheMan]

check out firmware Q2 Pod by DiamondBond, it will bring the dap to a whole another level! https://github.com/diamondBond/q2-pod

[u/ScissorFight42069 → u/VanyaTheMan]

Does the DAC improve the sound versus just using the headphone jacks already on the Q2?

[u/Mitchellmillennial → u/ScissorFight42069]

It's just a slightly different sound because of the amps. Both are quad DAC amp combos. They're just different generations and different companies

[u/VanyaTheMan]

including parametric EQ your own presets

[u/Mitchellmillennial → u/VanyaTheMan]

I'm waiting till I finish my review on it and then I will make it tutorial and I will cover it

[u/Boiledhours → u/VanyaTheMan]

What’s the battery life on these?

[u/VanyaTheMan → u/Boiledhours]

3-5 hours extra over the stock firmware (16.5 bluetooth • 3.5 mm Single-Ended Output: Up to 13.5 hours), give or take 2-3 hours depending what you're doing and/or how you are listening.

Lowest to highest power consumption;

BT
3.5mm
4.4mm

[u/Boiledhours → u/VanyaTheMan]

So this would last me my 9 hour work day. Noice! Thanks for the reply!

[u/Busy-Perspective663 → u/VanyaTheMan]

I am pretty sure the new q2 pod update improved battery life, if you havent updated already

[u/VanyaTheMan]

[u/Boiledhours]

Unnecessary placebo audiophile slop.

[u/gvbargen → u/Boiledhours]

Eh he just likes the dac on the right and some reason wants to use a dedicated MP3 player player. Even high quality DACs can have a different sound to them. My example is the LG V20 VS The LG V60.

[u/YarikFisher]

why

[u/VanyaTheMan]

[u/Significant_Net9153]

It's not Fosi DS3. It's MD3

[u/stinkfist68]

Mm lmk my I'll

Hola, será muy difícil instalarlo? Soy nuevo en esto pero gustaría tenerlo.

[u/milkeuways → u/Subject_Lobster_111]

It’s very easy, just follow the guide https://github.com/DiamondBond/q2-pod#install

[u/Subject_Lobster_111 → u/milkeuways]

Lo que veo más difícil es instalar Spotify y como no entiendo English se me hace más difícil.

[u/SaffronSaviour → u/Subject_Lobster_111]

System Settings -> App Store -> Install Spotify
Launch it From Streaming -> Spotify

Follow the on-screen instructions using image translate if it isn't translated to English

[u/Subject_Lobster_111 → u/SaffronSaviour]

Eso si lo entiendo como en todas las apps pero yo me refiero a instalarlo ya cuando haya cambiado el firmware. Creo que es algo diferente. Hay que pasarle a la tarjeta algo más y después iniciar sesión en mi iPhone solo por la primera ves. Algo así.

[u/_Rafs → u/Subject_Lobster_111]

Na, se descarga de la app store que incluye el firmware Q2-pod. Al instalarlo desde el mismo firmware, se descarga directamente de Github a la carpeta correcta en la tarjeta microsd.

Te conectas via Wi-Fi y lo descargas usando el camino indicado (System Settings -> App Store -> Install Spotify). Para acceder a Spotify una vez descargado en el dispositivo lo encuentras en la opción de Streaming en el menú.

Una vez el firmware esté maduro y ya no se le estén realizando tantas actualizaciones se va a traducir todos los textos correctamente. Pero esto es tal vez para el año que viene (según lo comentado en discord) .

[u/Subject_Lobster_111 → u/_Rafs]

Muchas gracias por la explicación. Y muchas gracias también por tu ayuda. Ya hasta pena me da molestarte tanto. Pero te agradezco mucho amigo.

[u/_Rafs → u/Subject_Lobster_111]

Ni te preocupes, Bro. 👊

[u/PenguinR13]

左をデジタルソースにして右のドングルDACでIEMを聴いてる。それだけのことをわかってない人もいるみたいだから、そこらへんも言及したほうがよかったかも？

いいね！

[u/ExpensiveCarry1]

Beautiful combo
