I also own the Pi8s and I completely agree with your assessment. One of the best sounding true wireless earbuds currently available.
In fairness, âbubblesâ probably sounds good using a soup can and a string! ![]()

Donât exagerrate. Iâd recommend 2 soup cans,
HiFiMan Arya Organics, planar magnetics, just arrived. Using my new (to me) Chord Mojo. What an amazing combo!
Deciding now whether or not I want to use the autoeq headphone curves or notâŚ
For me, Headphones are related (almost always) to Holidays period, any moment of the Year.
On weekly commutee I drive a motorbike and I never want to be isolated from environment by my music.
For this type of listening (earphones) I am absolutely fan of RoonArc, also because the very beginning I experienced zero issues for connectivity. For me was a pleasant âplug and playâ first approach.
I remember being on South France maybe weeks after was released, listening to some music at car with my cellphone and explaining my wife we were listening to our own files.
I jumped into a Fiio Olympus 2, a 2nd hand unit present from a friend and only 10 days ago I decided to go one step ahead and bought a Chord Electronics Mojo (Mk I) which really boost my volume level and I understand also my listening experience.
I must admit two things
-
about the improvement I rely on the theoretical part (numbers and figures) as long as I have been not able to do anything else but test the unit
I hope the practical experience will confirm that -
you can do worst pictures to show the set-up with the Sony SA-3000 I own, but this can be more dificult that to do a quality picture

enjoy listening whatever you have!
PS: I love to see the signal path when listening⌠Part of it is not fully comprehensive for me, but makes me feel like I listen to the best possibleâŚ
EVERSOLO PLAY + Apple AirPod Max
I have been gifted both, and since the PLAY has no Bluetooth OUT, I would need a transmitter to send the signal from PLAY to AirPod Max.
Recommendations appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Flibble.
Thatâs a pretty nice setup. That Ferrum stack is quite impressive and with very impressive sound as well. Enjoy!!
My current setup:
- Dan Clarck Stealth headphones
- Chord Hugo2 & 2Go DAC & streamer
- Aune X7s class A amplifier & Aune XP1 linear power supply
- Roon lifetime, Tidal & Qobus
On the go and with my laptop Iâm using Dali IO-12 headphones.
Setting the OOR to bypass using the rotary switch on the rear, then setting the wandla to analog volume mode and using the wandla to control volume. GREAT

A question for headphone devotees
How do you decide which pair to use , does it go in rotation, or based on music type.
I can understand different rooms but I have a simple set up of 1 amp and a mere 3 pairs and canât stop myself swapping and changing. I decided a week about rotation but I rarely stick to it
just a thought
Genre
Mood
Length of listening
Room temperature
I just listen to one for months. Then suddenly realize itâs not the only headphone I have. Then switch and repeat the whole process.
Interesting 2 replies at opposite ends !!
I find my HiFiMan Arya better for classical and Focal Clear Mg for Rock
When the wife is in the room I tend to choose my wireless headphones with ANC. Works wonderfully ![]()
