Digital Audio Player Pairings
Pairing with the QLS QA360 Mod player
The signature has good body and more of a fun aspect sound signature. Layering is articulate and upper treble pushes far.
Pairing with the Sony NW-WM1Z Player
One of my favourite DAPs and always a go to for natural sounding signature. Paired well with the RE800 earphone but body a little light sounding at times and not as full sounding as the QLS360 Mod Dap.
Pairing with the Cowon Plenue S player
The Plenue S sounded refined but felt a little reserved at times, high resolution recordings had decent imaging and positioning. Bass not as impacting as with the other 2 DAPs mentioned.
Pairing with the Altmann Tera Player
Altmann Tera Player shows off it’s famous low noise dark background. Vocals sound natural and close. Good pairing with decent synergy.
Are you aware they changed the design and will now come with an MMCX connector for no extra cost?

Thanks for the update, it’s great they provide the option for the MMXC also.
