The Best Budget DAP
Pros-
Nice resolution screen
Stable Bluetooth connection
MSEB makes music shine more
Pre-applied screen guard
Cons-
Scrolling through the album shuts down the player, as it can't handle so many albums in a list
I wish it could have at least a 4-inch screen.
Overall, a good product!

HiBy R1 Hi-Res Portable Music Player - Value Set / White
This is an valuable addition to a list of Hiby DAPs that moves my music listing experience to a different level. I love that it is compact but still has power enough to drive my IEMs and TWS. Im very much satisfied with the battery back up and its standby time which is an added advantage to music lovers. It was able to drive mp3 m4a and flac with out any issues
After having owned a few kilo-buck IEMs, I was prepared to get something that was insane and probably endgame and rightly so Pritam sir recommended the FIR audio Xenon 6 and thus deep dived into this and I am sure this would be the end game IEM for me.
The XE6 is so wonderfully crafted looks like piece of jewelry and although a large IEM it is very comfortable for me for long sessions.
It sounded good from the start and was really different from the other IEMs. It started to sound even better and grew on to be the best I ever heard after listening to it for longer. I paired with Astell&Kern SP3000T and Hiby rs8 II and with desktop DAC Amps (FiiO K19, Topping D70. A70, Hifiman R2R and Xduoo TA 22) and the immersive, warm, musical and soundstage that filled my head all over. The sub bass is where it stands out the most, but the mids and highs are also so clear and crisp. I havent yet tried to change the atom modules as yet, I am sure this will make the XE6 even more great than that it already is.
The shells in the IEM I were crafted in the US (was crafted in China earlier, but as Trump wanted his MAGA force it had to be made in the US now)
This is definitely end game worthy!!!!

Moondrop Chu 2 Review (After 5 Months of Use)
I’ve been using the Moondrop Chu 2 for around 5 months, and I’m really happy with them overall. The size is very good – small, lightweight, and comfortable for long sessions. They fit well in the ears and don’t feel bulky at all.
In terms of sound, they’re excellent for the price. Clear mids, detailed highs, and a balanced tuning that works great for vocals and instruments. They still feel solid and well-built even after months of daily use.
The only drawback is the bass – while it’s clean and controlled, it’s not very strong. If you’re looking for heavy bass, these might not fully satisfy you.
But if you want clarity, balance, and detail in a compact design, the Chu 2 are a fantastic choice.

value for price
Very good value for its price range,
Solid build, durable metal shells
Comfortable fit and decent ergonomics
Tuning flexibility thanks to interchangeable nozzles
Soundstage depth isn’t exceptional (though width / height are decent)
The black nozzle for brighter tuning is a bit aggressive.

Nice upgrade cable for the price
I got these cables for my CHU II because I broke the stock cable.
For the following reasons I would say it's a solid recommendation for it's price.
The cables themselves are not as heavy as they might look and more importantly, they are not "stiff, ear hooks are also fairly comfortable.
Also, they don't particularly retain shapes and seem to be freer and tangle free.
The quality on the cables is good, it's been almost two weeks, and I haven't seen any quality issues come out.
The mic quality on calls is decent, very serviceable.
Don't expect upgrade cables to change the tonality of your IEMs.
These don't have a chin-slider, I would have loved to see that.
(THE COOLEST PART, they include a free hard case and tbf it's actually a good case better than some listed even for around 300INR out there)

smooth audio with wide and clear soundstage
these iems are so clear with wide soundstage and these are small and lightweight and sits flat in ear without building out if u use small tips according to your ear , this is my second iem the first one was kz edx and it was bass heavy after listening to this , i find out that this is what we call iem neutral soundstage. this dsp version allows you to set a fix eq to the dsp and now you can use same eq anywhere you want if it is laptop or tablet or pc without installing an eq software, the app also have community driven eq sharing where individuals can share there eqs you can pick eqs from there to suit your preference

I recently bought the Audiocular D07 Slim, and for the price, it’s a fantastic little DAC. The sound is much cleaner and more detailed compared to my phone’s inbuilt audio. It works great with IEMs like mine, giving clear mids, tight bass, and smooth treble. The build is slim and solid, and overall, it feels like great value for money. Moreover, the customer support from 'The Audio Store' is highly admirable & I must say, best online store in India to buy Audio gadgets.
