Moondrop Blessing 3 - Made It On To The Short List
At last, you are one of the only reviewers who I actually agree with on UA-cam. I’ve tried a lot of this equipment that you are reviewing, and you are spot on with your descriptions. I too am like you, not an objectivist or subjectivist, I just like what I like and use equipment accordingly. A lot of reviewers I have bought equipment off the back of and none of it sounds remotely as they described it to be. I think a lot of these reviewers actually need their ears tested and put the certificate up from the audiologist. Or completely use different terms for what they are sensing or perhaps they are just making up these imaginary things they hear in their head. Thankfully, I have had my hearing tested, and it is highly sensitive and perhaps one of my best senses. And I agree with you. Great reviews!
Can you completely defeat the display on it? Displays actually do audibly affect the sound quality, causes interference.
How did you hook up the little valve amp? It looked as if it was coming out of the front headphone output and using two preamps, but I take that wasn’t the case and that you used the output from the back? Thanks and good review.
What AB switch are you using?

You are not like any other, so call audiophile + blogger plus+ online salesman. You are AudioLover and a Master. Hats off. Be Blessed and JUST.
Fantastic
This is the best review of this device anywhere!
Best reviews on UA-cam! Wish you'd review more.
A B testing is the only way, you are correct.
Audiophile nonsense is exactly right. There's too much of it. Thanks for the great reviews.
Love your reviews
Every SMSL dac with a colour screen has displayed the volume front centre and largest text for at least the last 5 years. It's something that is really annoying in pure Dac mode as who wants to se 00db on their screen. Makes more sense in an all in one.
Thank you so much for this FunFi review. I totally agree "Oh My Gawd!" thank you SMSL for putting the volume front and center. Just wish it was 1-100 rather than -dB. I really appreciated your thorough testing and stating plainly and logically your process and findings. It is unfortunately more and more rare to find a reviewer that does not depend on measurements alone or "chocolatey sharp sound" or some such nonsense. I think the Wiim Ultra features bluetooth out, but I could be wrong on that. It tries to hard to be everything to everyone, and is very nice, but "meh" in most areas other than the streaming app.
There are measurements over on ASR, the RCA and XLR do provide the voltage they specify. However, the HP Output is less than what they stated, in that regard it is closer to C200.
Very nice review keep up the good work❤
Is there a YT video on the TA66 used as a preamp specifically, I'm looking for a budget intro to tubes for my vinyl setup. Thanks in advance
I love this video, I’ve seen numerous “brand new perfect condition” that look like 💩. I’d never buy anything from this company no matter what they made. Embarrassing to say the least.
How does it compare to bl03 as graphs look similar..?
The Blon is far less clear, has a boomy bass, and is about as sibilant as the Que.
I spoke to a Neumann engineer and they all said that modern speaker designs at least for the high end market, don't really need a burn/break-in. He straight up said that burn in was required only on poorly made products decades ago. I believe that they even published research on their website for all to read a few years back. Claiming that a speaker or headphone is designed to be burned it, makes absolutely zero sense if you think about it. Why design it that way when you don't have to? What is the point? It doesn't make sense to the point where I have to believe in a conspiracy to force people to get used to the headphones past their returning point. I am sorry to all those who still believe in burn in. But I prefer to believe the folks who not only tested it to the highest level, but also made it repeatable and published their finding for free online.
It's a shame you were not able to do some objective instrument testing as well as subjective, as HRTF is real so what sounds raspy and harsh to you might not to me, and as always, all phones need EQ for audio playback and having an FR curve is really helpful.
Thank you!!! Superb review as always!...
For you best iem for music under 400€?
No hum from this beauty? I have had bad hum from other tube amps.
Nope
Hey there NTR, Your reviews are awesome, just no BS and I love it, have you ever reviewed the Truthear Hexa? Could not fid it in the library, Your review of the Hidizs XO dac is the reason I purchased the DAC and I was not disappointed, The Hexa is a bit dated now, nevertheless, many are still stating best bang for buck?????
Hi. No I’ve never used it.
Very professional and straight to the point. I appreciate the no audiophile BS shilling. Thanks for the video : )
Audiophiles need to visit studios and watch music being made. Sometimes I feel like we are chasing a perfection that doesn't exist.
Is this model relevant today? I want to buy myself a player from Sony (primarily because of the size), but I don’t know which one. Used There are both a55 and a105/306. I often see comments that Sony players are bad and it’s better to buy Hiby r3 II or something similar. But damn...
Hiby and other players are nothing more than glorified Android phones without cellular capabilities. Most complaints about Sony players is their lack of power for headphones and their proprietary UI. As I explained in this video, these Sony players have plenty of power for most headphones and IEMs. The UI can be a learning curve, but like anything else, once you get used to it, there is plenty of common sense behind its design. The 105 and 306 really do not offer much upgrades. Unless you find them on sale, the older 55 is still plenty good.
@@NoThemeReviews Not all. Hiby R3 II does not have Android. In any case, what headphones are 'compatible' with it? It won’t handle planars, that’s clear, but what about iem? I've heard that Sony players have noise in sensitive headphones.
I’ve never had an issue with sensitive IEMs with the A55. There are a lot of people who make very negative statements about Sony players-sometimes accurate and many times exaggerated. I have yet to encounter a modern DAP that exhibits hiss or distortion with low impedance IEMs.
Thank you for another wonderful earphone review! 👌 Reverend Dr. Thomas, ✝️ The Vegan Vicar 🌱
At the end of the day the m1s are synth specific budget monitor headphones.
So for those wondering teenage engineer disclaimed that the cord is a quality cut back they sell 3.5 mm cords as an upgrade. Personally I already have a very high quality 3.5mm cord but I did purchase the upgraded dual 6.35mm to 3.5mm cord they sell for about 10 usd for my sampler.
Will the BTR7 be enough to power Can Clark Aeon Noire 2s and how do you think they will sound. Thanks
is audient id4 enough for this beast? i couldnt figure it out
No
@@NoThemeReviews thank you for the answer im getting 250ohm version
Deaf Boy Velour,, 🤮
Having watched so many reviews of DAC's and listened to the utter nonsense of the so called audiophiles, it is a breath of fresh air to watch a video that is honest. Sure the S.M.S.L. SU-1 is actually a decent DAC, I tested it out using a DVD player as a transport and from there into an amplifier. I was impressed but virtaully any DAC would have done the same.
How compare w ta26?
@@JackyLe ta-26 is better because of small tube roll, good luck finding nice tube on ta-66 😅
Bluetooth sucks on btr7. It always has problems connecting. Battery life sucks. Do not buy.
I wonder how this DAC still Honda up today and especially today with the SMSL SU-1 that is half the price, single ended and you also reviewed?
Nicely Done . Hope you get a chance to review the new ZIIGAAT X JAY ESTRELLA
How does it compare to the Magni Heresy?
You are genius with tracks comparison. Very different than others . Subscribed you 👏
Enjoyed this review as with your others! Got the Quintet earlier this year and it's my only IEM purchase this year. It's my 2nd best IEM that I own, 2nd only to my Blessing2:Dusk. Using the Dunu S&S tips made a whole lot of difference vs other tips I've tried.
I really love your videos 💜
The Quintets are my only sound-making device that I don't EQ, I really like them.
Make video on dita audio project m
Hey mate, do you still have these?
Hi. Yes I do
Appreciate the review! Got this a month ago and really with it.
I have the original ta-20. So far I hadn't seen anyone do a comparison in side by side between the ta-20 with the ta-20 plus. What's the actual sound difference? Can we actual hear a difference between the two. For now I'm just keeping my original. I use the 12bh7 tubes in mine. Some really good NOS tubes out there. The real problem with the Ta-20/plus is the tubes are on the output. The tubes should be on the input. But for $400 it works for a inexpensive desktop headphone amp.
Any difference would be due to the tubes.
@NoThemeReviews of course. That would be the point of a side by side comparison between the original Ta-20 and the Ta-20 plus. To see if there is a noticeable difference in sound given the the addition of the power tube. Would it be worth up dating to the newer model. I can't see updating if there isn't a noticeable improvement in sound quality. I'm using NOS 12bh7 tubes in my Ta-20 because it has a much better sound than the 12au7 tubes. I have about 10 different matched sets of NOS tubes I've tried and found a set that matches my listening and music preferences.
Thank you for the review of these gorgeous earphones! ❤🎉❤
Thank you for the honesty I made my first premium upgrade for headphones with the black edition meh 20’s and I felt disappointed ever since the first listen. I mix and master independently on my laptop and I’m upset it took me this long to finally see where I went wrong smh.
Hey, is this DT 880 special edtition only 250 ohm? I cant find the 600 ohm special efirion online.
No there was a 600 ohm variant as well. It’s hard to find it now but they pop up from time to time.
