Hi everyone, Today, I’m sharing my KZ ZEX Pro Unboxing photos as well as my initial impressions review. The KZ ZEX Pro is the “upgraded” version of the previously released KZ ZEX IEM. This model is also known as the KZ x Crinacle CRN due to it being a collaboration between KZ and Crinacle. The KZ ZEX Pro features a dynamic driver, and electret driver, and a 30095 Balanced Armature that KZ normally uses on its hybrid IEMs. The regular…
UPDATE 1/15/2022: The KZ ZEX Pro Review is now live. You can read it here. Hi everyone, On the following days, I will be writing about the following 2 products: KZ ZEX Pro I have finally received the KZ ZEX Pro, which is a 3-driver per side IEM. I’m currently listening to it. Groove Onn CD Player with FM Radio I found this CD Player at Walmart and was cheap enough to grab one. I will be testing it soon….
Hi everyone, Today, we will be looking at the KZ ZEX. This is a 2-driver IEM featuring a dynamic driver and an “electrostatic” (electret) driver. This is their first IEM with this configuration, being their first hybrid to feature an electret driver. Unboxing The box we get is the typical KZ box. Inside, we can see both units. The design is also similar to previous KZ models: Included are also an additional set of tips and the usual cable. I…
Hi everyone, Today, we got a new entry in the Walt Disney Record: The Legacy Collection soundtrack series. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Walt Disney Records has released The Legacy Collection: The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack. While today should have been the official launch date (Maybe for the CD version), the album has been available for a few days on streaming services. I listened to this 2-disc album version yesterday and I can…
Hi everyone, It’s been a long time since I’ve shared some news on my DLNA Player software. Truth is, I’ve been taking a break on working on personal projects. I’ve been mostly watching movies and resting, but these days I’ve decided to start working on some software again. In this post, I’d like to tell you what have been integrated in the software. In terms of the user interface, not much has changed. There’s now a new Options menu where…
NOTE: This post was originally posted in Spanish on August 11, 2018. I’m posting the English language translation today. Hi everyone, Today, I’ve took some time to improve my “DLNA Player” software, which is capable of streaming music tracks to DLNA-Enabled players. Up to this point, the software was able to play back local files as well as music files stored on Google Drive. It wasn’t able to play Audio CD tracks. Because I have a bunch of Audio CDs,…
Hi everyone, 2 weeks ago, I got the LG GP96Y (GP96YB70) External Slim CD/DVD drive. This drive is marketed as a Multi-OS drive with compatibility with Android and compatible TV’s. One thing that some LG drives have is that they can mount a disk as a FAT32 filesystem, allowing browsing the disc on systems that do not officially support disc drives. What I did not know is that when an Audio CD is inserted, it can mount it and show…
Hi everyone, As a long-time user of Tidal, I’ve been enjoying the app for my music listening sessions, except that it did not support MQA (Tidal Masters) bitstreaming to USB DACs. This meant that the audio always got resampled to either 48Khz at first, and then to 192Khz in later versions. Up until several weeks ago, this was the case. We were forced to use third-party apps like USB Audio Player Pro or the Hiby Music app which added MQA…
Hi everyone, Today, we’ll see how well my 3 optical IDE slim drives handles the PlexDisc 700MB CD-R discs. The units we’ll be testing against this disc are the Optiarc AD-7561A, Teach DW-224E-C, and the Toshiba SD-R6252. Toshiba SD-R6252 Let’s start with the Toshiba SD-R6252. You may recall this drive failed to burn successfully the Verbatim CD-RW some time ago. The drive detects the disc just fine and gives us a burning speed of up to 16x: Starting to burn…
Hi everyone, Today, I got the KZ DQ6. This IEM contains 3 dynamic drivers per side, which is a bit different than the usual BA and dynamic drivers combination they usually make. It is made of a single 10mm “Xun” unit that handles the bass and 2x 6mm drivers that handles the mids and treble. KZ is well known to experiment with different driver configurations and this is no exception. We’ll see how they perform below. Unboxing The box is…
