Tidal to remove MQA and Sony’s 360 Reality Audio in July

Comments 0 Comment

Tidal has recently announced they are removing their MQA and Sony’s 360 Reality Audio next month. This change comes after Tidal introduced Hi-Res FLAC as their preferred format and the increasing Dolby Atmos content available on the platform. The last day you will be able to hear MQA and Sony’s 360 Reality Audio is going to be July 23, 2024, with the content being removed the next day. These changes makes sense because MQA is now owned by Lenbrook Media…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing the Vizio 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos SB36512-F6 Soundbar. I got this in a not so expected situation. I was at Sam’s Club looking for a new Washing Machine for my parents, since the one they had was failing. While we were checking prices, I decided to go to the entertainment section where there were several Sound Bars. I saw this Vizio and proceeded to test the sound of each one. The sound of this…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing the new KZ ZES IEM. This is KZ’s new model that comes before the newly announced KZ EDA. This model features a new 12mm dynamic driver along a 6.8mm electrostatic driver. It is similar to the KZ ZEX in terms of its speaker configuration, except that this one upgrades the dynamic driver to a 12mm version rather than the ZEX 10mm driver. For this IEM, we get to see a sort of new…

Hi everyone, Late last week, KZ officially released the KZ EDA IEM boxset. This is a new approach for KZ where they are including 3 different tunings of the same IEM in the same box. This means you get 3 IEMs in a single box. The KZ EDA is a single dynamic driver unit, but the 3 versions have a different tuning: It is currently available for pre-order in their official Shopify page and on AliExpress. You can read more…

KZ x HBB DQ6S Review

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, After a week of listening to the new KZ DQ6S IEM, I’m ready to share my thoughts on it. The KZ DQ6S is an IEM consisting of 3 dynamic drivers: one 10mm “Xun” dynamic driver and two 6mm drivers. This is the same configuration of the original KZ DQ6, but this is tuned differently. It is a collaboration between KZ and HBB. As usual, the IEM box and content is no different from other KZ IEMs and we…

Lofi Minnie: Focus

Hi everyone, This past Friday, March 18, 2022, Disney released this album called Lofi Minnie: Focus: This album seems to bring elements of “Lo-Fi Music” which I’ve actually never heard before. I’ve gave this album a try and it seems to be some slow music with some beats, but at the same time sounds relaxing. This may be the reason of the Focus on the name and the representation of Minnie in front of a desk. While I’ve found the…

Hi everyone, This week, KZ launched their new KZ ZES IEM. This model features a 12mm dynamic driver and an “electrostatic” driver, similar to the previous KZ ZEX model. It seems that the main difference between the KZ ZES and the previous KZ ZEX is that this new model uses a 12mm dynamic driver whereas the previous KZ models seem to use a 10mm dynamic driver. The electrostatic is still a 6.8mm unit. It will be interesting to hear this…

Hi everyone, Today, I’m publishing a new MP3 Graphical User Interface software to encode audio files to MP3. This software uses ffmpeg’s libmp3lame or libshine encoding libraries in order to produce MP3 files. These provides you an option to choose between quality or speed encoding. For quality MP3 files, there’s libmp3lame, while for speed (and a lower quality) there is libshine. It also provides the option to encode files using a variable bitrate when using libmp3lame, and allows choosing a…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing another portable CD player. Yes, it is 2022 and it’s the age of streaming, yet we can find CD players and can buy music CDs. What was interesting to see is a store selling these. I expected to see them on online sites like Amazon but not at a store at this time and age. So, I found this portable CD player at a relatively cheap price, and I decided to get it….

Hi everyone, Today, KZ, an In-Ear Monitor (IEM) headphone maker, has launched a new IEM model: the KZ DQ6S: This IEM should be an optimized version of the KZ DQ6 and is a collaboration between KZ and HBB. It has the same 10mm and the same dual 6mm drivers as the KZ DQ6. It is just tuned differently. How well will it sound? That’s something we’ll need to figure out. I have enjoyed the original KZ DQ6 sound, so I…
