Hi all,

this thread about USB DACs got me thinking.

I have recently bought a Diyeden LILO 2 USB Soundcard, the chinese description make it sounds like both a soundcard and amp.

Previously, using my laptop internal sound, there is no so-called soundstage and bass was muddy as well.

But with this fella, i can differentiate distances in instruments and the bass was resonant and warm as well.

NOTE: used with UM1 and errrr not so great mp3 recordings, 128kbps types

Just wanna check with you fellas, using usb soundcards, would adding an amp on it make things better? hahaha

For the flanges, flex sleeves and complys,

they all have a lifespan. When they nuah already, mus change one ah? Even if the flex one is for durability?

Haha sibei noob man..

 

Comfort + Isolation + Ability to hear your heart beating - Long Westone Complys (But it seems that this is the one you don't really like)

 

I personally loved the tri-flange (unmodded, I've got straight ear canals) for the UM1 for their great isolation and nice sound.

What is the long westone complys? Is it the ones that come together with the UM1 or UM2 package? Those foamy things where you compress them before putting them on?
