• Why use a PMP instead of a phone? >better DAC/AMP >more output power so it can drive higher impedance headphones >smaller sizes than phones for activities like exercise >physical buttons >headphone jacks >some people can't use smartphone at work/use dumbphones

My favorite fumo so far that I have added to my collection. The Oxygen was what got me into IEMs and Chi-Fi 2 years ago; I loved it so much that I abandoned headphones completely. Having such a cute collectable is a nice way of showing my appreciation. I hope that Moondrop releases a Mitsuki fumo in the near future.
Might as well repost my questions: 1) What are the stock CCA CRA tips called? 2) I'm using Abigail on my laptop to remove the noise. The problem is that Equalizer APO keeps "forgetting" the dongle from time to time so I have to launch 'Configurator' and restart the laptop every time. How do I fix this?

Whats a good apple dongle alternative for us scrubs? Or are the power issues overblown?
Nice to see another user who bought it (I placed an order 3 days ago so It's going to take a while to get here). Also I'm waiting for them to release their 2 new shirts online and for the release date of the ZERO (bullet redesign of the OLA).
If you're here you're prospects for sex are already dead so you might as well consider yourself an honorary homo too. No women is going to ever love a fucking nerd that gets butt blasted over arguing about which cheapo FOTM chinese cabled earphone toy measures the best and adheres to your schizo psychoacoustic target curve.
NW-A55 with Mr. Walkman CFW: My first "modern" DAP. The battery life is killer and it runs all my IEMs perfectly. Favorite thing to take on long walks. Still trying to figure out and learn more about the benefits of the different versions of Mr. Walkman's custom firmware.
Abigail dongle: Transparent and powerful enough to finally use IEMs comfortably on my S20 FE. Will probably buy Avani to test it out and compare later on. Will probably get a long USB extension cable to use this dongle on my desk.
Apple USB-C dongle: I have one for an iPad mini 6 and the another one that I plug to a USB-C port on my computer monitor for easy accessibility. Good shit for 8 bucks. If one ever gets busted or damaged, I'll just go to the Walmart that's 3 blocks from my house and buy a new one, make a quick switcheroo in the parking lot, go back inside the store and return the old one inside the box of the new one to get my money back. Unlimited Apple Dongle Works.
Qudelix 5K: Can't live without having PEQ in whichever device I can connect this thing too anymore. So versatile and useful that I stopped using my desktop amp/dac stack and I'm planning on selling it. Without a doubt the best 120 dollar purchase I've made in something audio-related so far. Seems like I was high-IQ enough to have developed perfect muscle memory for the button controls after a few seconds of using them as I always see people complaining about this and end up buying the much inferior BTR5 because the 5K was "too hard" to manage for their monkey brains. Also thank god that the 5K is made out of plastic instead of glass+aluminum like the BTR5 does as the 5K BTFOs it pretty hard when it comes to the distance of the bluetooth radio range.
So far you bozos haven't let me down regarding your veiled-shilling/recommendations. What else would you recommend?
>tips Generic silicone. KZ/CCA doesn't even bother naming the stock CRA tips
>APO First disable and uninstall APO. Check audio driver updates, clean install those, then replug Abigail preferably in a different USB port. Reset a few times to make sure dongle is ok. Then install APO again, configure. Also don't set your audio at any weird settings, keep it 24/32 bit 48khz

Based impressions. I may try those 2 DAP devices in the future as they do seem to be the most universally rec'd >Other recs Well what are your IEMs and what might you be looking for in an upgrade?

Yeah I think they're just using the exact same shell as with Hanas now, yours seem a bit more rounded around the edges
