Elevate Your Audio Experience: HIFIMAN EF400 Review & Impressions
Yep..totally agree with all you said…last count I had 7 working decks, 3 more that need some adjustments, I really am hooked on them, love recording tunes and listening to playback…
thanks for the review, I'm looking for a totally analogue amp and this one is one of them, also would like to hear something about the headphone out, did you try some headphones on it?
Buenas noches actualice hoy el ifi stream a la vercion actual y se reinicio y ya no funciona no prende ninguna luz solo la del power, resetee con el boton de atras prendio dos luces rojas espere 10 minutos y nada esta como bloqueado no me puedo conectar ni por wifi ni por rj45, agradeceria si tienes alguna solucion y talves saber como flashearlo o actualizarlo por la pc para que funcione de nuevo saludos.
Will it turn on when it receives power? Or do I need to turn this on every day when I activate power? I have the Fosi ZA3 and the sound is phenominal, but I have to press the volume button every day for 2 second when power is activated
You would need to turn it on
@@TheBoomerConsumer ok, thank you. My search continues
Super review, Bruce! Those headphones certainly look fantastic. They have a number of really good reviews. I have yet to hear them, but I just might pop for a pair soon, unheard, even though I already have 2 other really good headphones around (Sundara - 2020 version for transient detail and soundstage, and HD6xx for vocal timbre). 😅👍🎶🎶🎶
Thanks! 👍
Wow That is great Bruce So happy for you I love your videos
Please keep comments civil. Comments with links will be removed.
Which ones would you recommend for just using as desktop computer speakers?
Mine doesn't move up and down. Yours might be loose.
Can I hook a bose 500 bass module up to this with a cable?
Yes
So would you buy this or spend the extra 100 and get a Yamaha as301
Powering klipsch r15m with a 8 in powered klipsch downfire sub
The 301
What I was thinking too. Or the emotiva ta1
The biggest issue I had with the amp is the power rating is not as claimed. For the 2 channel part it will not even be close to 165 watts even with the power supply upgrade. I feel you can do better for that amount of money. It does look very good though and the casing does not get hot. It sounds ok but not as great as it should be for the price and claimed wattage.
I have the encore the last iteration. These are the best speakers I've ever heard and I've owned a lot of speakers. I have subwoofers I turned them off. You can bang this speakers and they are great.
About five years ago I bought a Nakamichi Cassette Deck 1. It makes even badly recorded tapes sound decent. There is magic in going to a shelf, choosing a recording (LP, cassette, CD), putting into/onto a player, and enjoying the music. Scrolling through a playlist just isn't the same.
“Setup Airport Base Station” isn’t an option on my WiFi tab, even though I’ve set everything up. What should I do?
Thanks for the review! Just bought two!
thanks for the video. Do you know what tubes you can upgrade to?
Oh thanks a lot brother... Please help me on the color issue. I am too dark to be seen but I would like my video to be a little bit brown. So what should I do?? And also, hiw do i improve the smoothness of the video because i have a rough skin? Thanks alot
I've owned mine about a year and recently added the Cambridge Audio Minx Subwoofer and I have the volume on the back of that sub down low and it does sound way better. BTW if I ever go for a upgrade it would be the retro JBL L100's but at 4800 for a pair it would be a purchase with serious diminishing returns.
Is this PM8006 power enough for Wharfedale Jade 7 or Klipsch RF7 MK3 speakers? Appreciate your feedback. Thank you
Thanks for reviewing this product.
Ifi zen dav v3 vs schiit magni internal dac?
Ifi is going to sound better, I have had Modi, Modi 2 Uber, and Modi 3+ (Latest gen).
Love your reviews !!
You are describing not good stuff
Low dog and theirhigh dog look the same
Woulda bought immediately.. if it had a remote.
Except for the UV meter, this new product is not worth the higher price 😊
This is amazing, your insights are truly valuable.
I appreciate that!
You're an inspiration to us all! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
So nice of you
I had a pair of q150s and regret selling them. I think when it comes to bass, many times people want bass that’s deeper than the way it was recorded on what they’re playing. I leave my tone controls flat most of the time and felt they had plenty of bass.
Ugly
No air vents in the casing?
doesn`t need to have air vents!
great for the bedroom or to take on vaca!! nice job !
Yes! Thank you!
Add a 8 in sub with 92db/ watt driver and re listen . Use some real music with bass , your opinion will go from ok to wow
The back is never worth showing. Lol
Maybe but if I didn't show it, someone would complain about that
It is worth
The DAC chip is the Bluetooth in usb mode
Just curious - since this is a new product, I couldn't find out (yet) if the Op Amps were interchangeable like many of the other Fosi releases. Do you know (or could you check) to see if the Op Amps are interchangeable in that new MC351? If they are, then this would be a fantastic unit to play with.
Ill ask
Opamps cannot be changed for this amp. Fosi confirmed.
@@onionknight9431 Thanks...
How often can we say a knob has a nice feel and not get strange looks. 😂 Maybe though its like the name randy, both knob and randy have rude meanings in British English, randy means horny here and knob is a insult and also a male body part. The joys of the English language. 😂
Yes I might not address knob feel going forward lol
Good morning from Toronto ☕️ …an interesting budget unit … Maybe , save a little more and upgrade to one of the Wiim units..that’s where this seems to be heading. Great review 👍
Yep, even with a WIIM mini its still way short of the WIIM Amp. No HDMI or DSP or remote.
Please keep comments civil. Comments with links will be removed.
Sorry never done this before would you connect the power amp via those XLR 3-pin socket things? To use as a preamp?
Nice room tour! Glad to hear you’re into cassettes and cassette decks. I have four including a Pioneer CT F950. Hope you make the jump into moving coil cartridges like a Denon 103 or 103r. Maybe you have an MC phono stage on your Marantz or older receivers? If not, you can invest in a step up transformer (SUT).
My Pioneer SX-D7000 is MC capable
this good for gaming/music? on pc? I see a review on site said it had issues with usb?
I got rid of a couple vintage Tape decks in '21 one a Pioneer CTF650 in need of a belt change. Still holding on to my Kenwood Direct drive, though all cassettes are gone or converted to digital. Note, I never liked the Dolby setting, adding muffling to the tape, yet had to get rid of the hiss. Heads would block up & need frequent cleaning, especially with store bought cassettes.
Just bought one! Driving a pair of q acoustics 3020, i think it’s definitely well-built and great-sounding. Just wish it had auto standby so that I could just leave it on 24/7!
nice rewiew , grey panthers exist !!!
I am glad to hear your wife is doing better. Thanks for your years of videos and I can't wait to see what is next.
It is that sweetness, warmth, and silky smoothness that I prefer in vinyl. Digital to me is an approximation without soul: too clinical and robbed of many harmonics present in live and unamplifier music and analog recordings, especially direct to disk pressings. Besides, analog preserves what is below the noise floor.
Ordered one, can't wait to get it in my hands. Xduoo has a lot of great tube products.
I've been looking for a simple and compact dialogue-focused soundbar to help out my hearing impaired dad understand the tv better without having to crank the terrible backwards pointed speakers that come with the TV. Your review really sold me on this one. Thank you for such a thorough review!
Thanks so much
