Anybody had any luck with Tripowin Spiral Groove Memory Foam Eartips?
Just a track for a âTimeless dayâ:
What DAC do you recommend especially for the Timeless 7Hz?

I donât get into that. Everything I have is powered from my Qudelix 5k. I have only heard the dx3 pro+ with the timeless outside of that because I got rid of my all my desktop gear after finding insufficient improvement of any type over the Qudelix with my gear. And the Qudelix rips the dx3 pro+ to shreds. (returned it after less than a day of listening). The dx3 pro+ struggles with low ohm loads.
I would guess based on my past experience, that the Burson Playmate 2 would be a really good compliment. And I think the idsd micro signature would also work wonderfully. But, I never heard those with the timeless. But both worked well with more sensitive IEMs.
I personally find desktop dac/amps to represent a lot of sacrifice with very little gain. I do keep trying them, as I would like something with some serious power at some point. But most desktop stacks just make me go âmehâ.

Iâm using a Topping D10s combined with a Sabaj A10h amp. Sounds detailed and neutral. Fully transparent. Donât forget to buy a 6.35mm adapter.

Nope. Still in customs. Someone there must be enjoying them 
Iâd hang myself. Love those guys

If those guys have kept them and jamming, then it just goes to show how great they have to be 
Hopefully I will find out next week
That is my impression too ⊠The difference between most DAC, Amp, pre-amp stacks are such small margins, and they want fairly large amounts of money for those tiny margins.
The portable options like the Qudelix 5k and BTR5 do such a great job for so little money. There are some headphones that need more power than they deliver, but I havenât run into that yet.
I am using a BTR5 with my 7Hz Timeless. If I were buying an amp for it today, I would get the Qudelix 5k. Note that the Timeless doesnât really need much power, I have run it on a $10 USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, with a 2.5mm to 3.5 adapter connected, all hooked up to my phone.

I think a proper source makes a significant difference with certain headphones, but when it comes to iems, I think they are so easy to drive, that there isnât really a point. You mostly loose money and convenience, when going for a desktop dac/amp for iems without any real benefit.

For me it is the other way round: As I have over ear headphones too, it is good to know that the amping has reserves for powerhungry cans (or even IEMs as I learned with the TinHifi P1). And it is a real benefit to have a real volume knob instead of those dongles without any controls. And you have not to spend a fortune to get a decent amp as the JDS Atom that I bought for for my desktop.

I bought a USB-C volume knob for $30 for that very reason. It seemed like a far simpler and cheaper solution to drive my Hifman headphones than spending at least $180 ( a ZenDac v2 is probably the cheapest good balanced desktop solution right now ).
Every usb-C dongle and amp sounds different to me. I love my Sabaj A10h amp. Clean sound.
Run mine as a bedside set up from a JDS Atom being fed from a 2nd hand Chord 2Qute DAC with a custom PSU via Node2i.
Mobile is a Walkman NW-a45 through a Topping NX4DSD (as an amp).
Sound good on both but the bedside rig is a detail animal.

I too bought an USB volume control years ago. Unfortunately my device did not work properly. I even used a dumb potentiometer in the analog path for some time. But I did not want to have another item on the desktop and therefore bought a small DAC and a small amp and put it under my desktop surface.
