šŸ”¶ 7HZ Timeless Planar

I would say go with the L&P W2. It has all you need and more, but if you want bluetooth go with Qudelix-5K.
Qudelix-5K is really a nice little device as well . It sounds better than Fiio Btr5 to my ears

Wow. I didnā€™t realise that there were that many different dongles.

For a planar Iā€™d go with power above all else. Nothing more tragic within hifi than a starved planar diaphragm.

You are right, but 7hz timeless I donā€™t think they are difficult to drive them with Qudelix-5K or a stronger dongle.

I knew that site at Head Fi before, I just find his reviews interesting because they change ā€œsound qualityā€ :smirk:

@rami_bouk Can confirm the hidizs, Iā€™m about 75% on the single ended but I like to listen loud, slam for days. Stargate dongle gets them plenty loud at about 90%. I highly recommend Spinfits for these, tried all the stock tips but too many compromises with each. By the way this new Rezz track is absolutely killer with these @nymz Iā€™m sure the Variation sub bass would be killerā€¦

Has anyone tried with a FiiO UTWS3 or similar?

What do you mean?

Sound differences between two same dac chip models

Well, itā€™s probably true, since sources affect sound signatures. Im no expert on sources, so Iā€™ll leave that to the pros.

They dont matter as much as other stuff on the chain tho.

Iā€™ll say tho that I notice a difference on L&pw2 vs other stuff. Clean af. Dead silent. Best thing ever.

No, i have the e1da 9038s gen3

Odd, I have the Gen 2 and itā€™s insanely loud. Canā€™t go beyond 45% volume.


This is the tempotec sonata e44 i did find it the highest in that ranking list and this is his signal measurement in 15Ī© . I donā€™t understand it do u guys think he will be noisy for the 14.8Ī© 7hz timeless ?

He ranks them by sound signature and preference. Iā€™ll advise you to take a look about what he writes about every of them (on this top 10 or so). Thereā€™s some that will give more power, some will give better noise floor, some will have better QOL. Still, you canā€™t go wrong on any, as long as it meets your needs :slight_smile:

He is the best one that suit my needs for just 90$ haha . The guy said that he is the best all arounder with the widest soundstage and thats the most important thing for me . Thank you so much bro for answering my questions :raised_hands:t3:

Personally amps only have minor tonal change to me. I would focus mainly on raw output power (measured in mw/w), especially with demanding transducers like planars.

I would heartily agree on amps having little to do with sound signatures. I do think that a tube based amp might offer even order distortion that many might prefer but we are talking minuscule power that these amps produce. I feel that the difference would be smaller.
