  1. have tried JH13 and JH11... for my ears, the difference between JH13 and UM3X... JH13 has higher resolution and better detail from mid-range to high. i can even hear recording or normalization flaws in my .wav files which previously i could not hear on UM3X. JH13 has more smooth and extended high. there are more "strength" in the JH13 which makes the sound more engaging. the bass is similar between JH13 and UM3X. but i personally feel bass of UM3X has more punch and details. it's definitely an area requires improvement (maybe this is what JH16 is about). the JH13 has much better sound stage. In few occasions JH13 gives me a little bit the "defined image" feeling like real hifi setup, but only few occasions. overall JH13 sounds very american: tight, energetic, aggressive, powerful, integrated and digitized. it's clearly an upgrade from UM3X, maybe 50% better overall. however this is not saying UM3X is not good. comparing to JH13, UM3X is more analogue, relax, loose, easy listening, a little bit "vinyl" and vintage speaker sounding. it's still highly enjoyable even after i tried JH13. difference between JH13 and JH11: JH13 has fuller sound like a floorstander while JH11 is more like a aggressive sounding bookshelf. personally i prefer JH13 type of sound.
  2. cool. will go down to take a look. thanks.
  3. this is encouraging. looks like i should not just stop here at universals. issue for custom is i can not audition before buy. or is there a demo set of JH16 to audition (even its not a perfect fit)?
  4. no i am serious but of course this is subjective. for me it's small difference but for you may be big difference. either way is fine. i agree with you about the differences in sound signature but for my ears the differences are very subtle. i come from hifi background and i owned and auditioned many different type of speakers and setup. i need a portable player and IEM to block my ears in office so i started audition these IEMs. in fact there are two things surprised me after i tried these "highend" IEMs: how bad they sound and how similar they sound comparing to real hifi system. haha...so this is where i come from. but anyway they have the portability that home hifi can not provide.
  5. they are similar. TF10 is slightly more balanced and integrated from high to low. but...it only takes me less than one minute to figure out that i could never wear the TF10 no matter how good it sounds. the comfort is a joke. for me, UE only makes sense when go to custom.
  6. last time i checked in shanghai, the domestic price of um3x in shanghai is around RMB 1850, from authorized dealers. warranty is 1 year only.
  7. above seems to be only one of the "replica" of UE11Pro and beyond. well i wont call them replica because they have their own brand/model and feedback shows they are on par or even better than UE. truly amazing. guess i need to setup a taobao account soon.
  8. was very tempting to get UE TF10 from amazon (US$150, right?) to do UM custom. but come to this: TS432, so called UE11Pro design http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail...97e5b023db5.htm TS433, claimed better than UE11Pro http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail...1cd13c12f6f.htm seems got very good review from customers. wondering if anyone here heard about that or even tried?
  9. not available locally at this moment...
  10. thank you for your info. will try to get a zhaolu 2.0 with CS-4398 DA Chip.
  11. looking to buy zhaolu 2.0 DAC. if you have one for sale, email me at liuhao@yahoo.com please. thanks.
  12. plan to get a zhaolu 2.0 DAC to connect my PC to headphone and home hifi system. i have cd player but i also have lots of music content in PC. i dont need tube DAC btw. have tried to use my soundcard (audigy) analog output. the sound quality is not acceptable. i found the functionality of zhaolu is very good. i can connect my soundcard digital coax output to zhaolu. then i got headphone output, and also RCA or XLR output to my home hifi system amplifier. this is perfect. the price is very good too at around $150. have seen many good reviews on head-fi for zhaolu. just like to know if there is any other good china made DAC which is similar as zhaolu? at this moment i only know zhaolu and diyeden. i dont mind paying slightly higher for a higher quality one. of course a USB DAC is also fine. then i dont need my soundcard anymore. any good quality china made USB DAC other than diyeden? thanks a lot.
