Shoutouts to @Go-Kart for the smooth communication and speedy shipping. These things are interesting .
I bought this since I have lost my Fiio BTR3K again, but this time it really got lost for I cannot find it again. Also the BTRT13 is actually pretty solid for the price, sure it’s not resolving as the latest model and the technicalities at best are just average but the value I got from this is really great for the price and the neutral signature that I get from this is just good for the value for me.
Also another tip rolling, but this time I have bought the S&S tips but this time it’s the Large version, and the so called Large version is pretty much the average medium size tips that you get from the other ear tips, therefore the fit is much better now. Going to test even more IEMs that are compatible with it because the P7s seems a bit chunky when I have these tips on.
Does the 13 not come with a clip?
To me that’s a major downside
Thank god to me that’s one of it’s best feature then only real thing that i miss moving to the Muse M4 is the clip of my BTR7
More like the downside is that the clip is attached to the BT DAC AMP itself, making it a con to some but I don’t mind it one bit but I do get the idea on why some want it to be removable.
Please elaborate “interesting🤔”
I would ideally prefer plastic organizers instead of watch boxes. Unfortunately, finding ideal plastic organizers is harder than I thought.
i use a couple of plano tackle boxes for tips/cables and modding/measurements. integrated plastic organizers + the extra storage for random stuff is quite convenient.
A Bought LPS today , not sure if will actually do anything to the sound chain. I hope I didn’t waste some.money.
what are you hooking it up to?
iBasso DX340 amp card
Micro amp project coming? Or are you just using it on the DAP itself?
Got pretty heavy into the PEQ with the Element IV, decided to step up and try the Fiio K19 which has a lot more control with 31 PEQ filters. I’ve gotten both the atrium and Focal Clear to both sound amazing (to my ears). Going to play with the HE1000se later. I have an HD800s on the way as well. Ended up selling off some of the source gear I had to get more headphones. I’m getting a ton out of PEQ personally.
Also some of the negatives I see in reviews seem to have all been fixed with firmware updates on this unit. You can name the custom EQ profiles. The phone app is much improved. And you can reverse the function of the menu knob now. So seems like Fiio listens.
The K17 also looks very interesting. It’s already on AliExpress and should be out on Amazon later this month. Has less power, but discrete headphone circuit design, more physical switches. Can act as a roon ready Ethernet/wifi streamer, and has a bigger screen. Has the same DSP chip as the K19 with the 31 EQ bands. May check it out and compare. But the K19 is definitely a keeps IMO.
Edit:
Adding the EQ I’ve settled on for the HE1KSE. I use Sguiglink, compare measurements, then use the EQ feature to visualize the changes. Apply them on the K19, and go back and forth a bit while listening to music. In this one, I used the Senn HE-1 as a bit of a target for the HE1kSE. It maintain a lot of the general qualities of the headphone, while improving a lot of characteristics. It sounds fantastic, IMO. Actually amazing.
Probably not going to bother with the K17, K19 is very nice IMO.
I’ve been really tempted to get a K19 to simplify my desk setup, think its too tall in vertical and too wide to lay horizontal though, K17 seems pretty chonky too maybe a K15/13 in a few months
I (and I am sure others) would be interested as to whether or not the chain benefited from this.
Jesus ffs…that stupid announcement voice is way too loud and it fucking hisses…
Edit: See recording, you can hear the announcement voice even far away from it -.-
OMG that’s crazy annoying
So BT20 still the GOAT?
Specifically the XS, I believe the Pro might have the same case as the 30 Pro in which case the magnetic opening/closing method on it may be a lot more annoying than the zip case one (as you can see in the recording, it is not easy to open it as there isnt much friction nor space to grip onto it).

Not sure if the 20XS also hisses on my diy iem I tested on the 30 pro though.
I may just buy an mmcx connector for it…
(Did try to recharge my Fiio UTWS3 but it is still dead…so cant test it with it.)
