@that_chand As a long-term Apple Music user, I can’t stop opening this app lately! The overall experience is on another level.

Minor YT Music login issue & missing lyrics sometimes, but honestly zero complaints. Highly recommended! Kudos to the dev 👏

@Davidimel Maybe Zen Browser 😌

So this is the baseline the Red Lion has to beat.
Not stock Wan'er. EQ'd Wan'er II.
Because the real question was always: can hardware do what software already fixed?

[Deepak K. Pandey, PhD @Deepakk23456]

Before the Red Lion gets its turn, I went back to the Wan'er SG II Black (4.4mm).
Setting a proper reference point. Not vibes. A baseline.

[Deepak K. Pandey, PhD @Deepakk23456]

Then I added Wavelet + AutoEQ (Wan'er II preset) + U-shape.
Tabla, dhol, santoor. Everything opens up. Indian music on this with EQ is genuinely something else.
US pop? Inconsistent. Some tracks great, some just okay.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, codenamed #ResoluteRaccoon, is now available to download. 🦝

Resolute Raccoon builds on the resilience-focused improvements introduced in interim releases, with TPM-backed full-disk encryption, improved support for application permission prompting, Livepatch updates for Arm-based servers, and Rust-based utilities for enhanced memory safety.

This release also brings native support for industry-leading AI/ML toolkits like NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm, making Ubuntu 26.04 LTS the ideal platform for AI development and production workloads.

Running it flat through my @FiiO JM21 right now. No EQ. Just listening.

Thread incoming over the next week.

The question I’m chasing 🤔:
How much of what we call “good sound” is hardware, and how much is just tuning?

[Deepak K. Pandey, PhD @Deepakk23456]

Just unboxed my 4th IEM in 4 years.

KZ ZEX → ZS10 Pro → Tangzu Wan’er SG II → now the Red Lion (bass edition). @TangzuAudio

The Red Lion uses a single dynamic driver. The ZS10 Pro uses 5 (1 DD + 4 BAs). On paper, the Pro should win. That’s not what my ears said.

[Deepak K. Pandey, PhD @Deepakk23456]

Same shell as the original Wan’er II. Just retuned for more sub-bass. One variable changed. Everything else locked.

A physicist’s instinct kicks in. This feels like a controlled experiment.
