Full Written Review www.audiophile-heaven.com/2022/09/tempotec-v6-music-player-dap-super-performer.html

[@phetmoz]

In this video review you mention the M11 Pro. Are you sure you mean to say M11 Pro and not the regular "M11" which you mentioned in your comparison in your written review?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

@@phetmoz I reviewed both m11pro and M11, I found V6 to be better than both 🔥

[@_Pretender]

@@AudiophileHeaven ...tell me, can you compare, maybe from memory, the sound of the hero of the review V6 and Shanling M6 21? Who is better and in what? Health to you!

[@AudiophileHeaven]

@@_Pretender Thank you bro! I think that they are somewhat similar, V6 maybe a bit warmer and more musical, M6 a bit more analytical, but too close to be sure.

[@raphaelmeillat8527]

Thanks for this! Never heard of this company before I must say. But quite a few decent to good reviews in the past few weeks thanks to this DAP. Always good when competition grows. Right now, there are 5 or 6 DAP brands and they all push towards premium pricing!

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Yep, we need more companies to push for lower prices!!

[@phetmoz]

Waiting on my unit. Got the $279 deal on Kickstarter. This DAP I'm sure will surprise many people at that price. It has gotten rave reviews, more or less. It is about the same price as the Questyle M15 DAC dongle but outperforms it and is an entire DAP with more than double the power, so there is that.

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Hope it will be lots of fun when you get it!

[@jimawhitaker]

Anyone ever tell you that you remind them of "Balki Bartokomous" ? Well you certainly do for me I did a double take. Thanks for the great review...

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Thank you! I will try to be as good of an him!

[@asotomayor]

Waiting for mine, backed it on Kickstarter!

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Hope it all goes well!

[@alphaniner3770]

Well, I got this player through the kickstarter. I have to say that it has a few minor 'quality of life' issues that could be fixed with a software update (for example when it starts up you are 'welcomed' with a very bright white startup screen, even if the screen brightness is set to low - not so nice for late night listening.) Apart from minor issues like this it produces very good sound. I think that for somebody that wants good portable sound, without going too crazy price wise - this could be worth considering. I played around with the equalizer - but in the end I prefer the stock configuration - I think that the makers can be proud that the sound is spot on.

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Happy to hear you're having fun with it! I agree it ain't perfect, but it is a good working DAP with a nice sound and as oyu said, it can sound nice with no EQ employed

[@CLaudiusClemensJimmy]

wow, outclass fiio m11 pro huh... tempotec sure did their homework done nicely, thank you for the review

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Always happy to help, and it looks TempoTec didn't start a fight they couldn't win. It will be interesting to see how they delivere the KS rewards, if it will be on time and such

[@JordanJacobson]

I got mine today. Do you know how to use the mirror screen? So I can change music from my phone?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

I think you'd want to look into Hiby app, it has a good option for that

[@Vega1900]

How does it compare sonically with Hiby R5ii? I have a Sennheiser hd 598 and a sennheiser hd 650 and both require some power. So between the two which is better if I may know

[@AudiophileHeaven]

It is excellent, should be above R5ii, cannot guarantee it is enough for hd 650, those are power hungry, high impedance headphones

[@leonardopapantoniou4227]

Having m3x should you upgrade it with this? Is the improving substantial?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

The overall OS and device is not much better, in fact it is slightly worse, but the sound is considerably better, more driving power, better control, better impact, less distortion and more dynamics.

[@matusjurcik6974]

Hello my friend :) can the temptec v6 can be on par with the mojo/mojo2? Not powerwise but only soundwise.

[@AudiophileHeaven]

HJii, it is a different sound, but it is on par with them

[@Gadgetibles]

Is this close to the Fiio M11 plus in terms clarity in the soundstage and battery lfie

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Yes, they are fairly close to each other

[@hxsm8090]

I used to own tempotec v1a but it wasnt any special. I had to use its usb dac (sonata hd pro) to get the dynamic and detail i need. I'd say it was decent, but its annoying to charge. Hidizs bought a lot of their pattern. Glad seeing them improving as a brand.

[@AudiophileHeaven]

V1A Variations was indeed not that great, but was ok for the money. V6 Variations goes one step beyond that and it is a top notch DAP I'd say

[@delysid_musicPY]

hi how are things? I'm thinking of buying the aiaiai tma 2, what do you think of those headphones, do they have good bass? and its basses intrude on the mid frequencies? and what about the sharp ones are they sharp?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio is a good headphone, it does the job for the money well, can't find something cheaper to sound better for studio work. If you have the money, you can consider also Harmonic Dyne Zeus, and if you can use open back

[@EllasPOSEiDON]

By the way all of its specs goes up into today' s higher mid range DAPs for 7-800 USD at least. Those AK chips, 16x MQA, 32-768 pcm, 512 DSD. 49.152 & 45.158 FPGA? You kidding? It has clearly very high specs for very low price among the proven names. Probably they want to asskick the big ones. :) I am really really interested on the sonic performance of it, or even comparison to well known names in the higher priced segment.

[@AudiophileHeaven]

I also made a full written review on it 😊

[@iandbike8734]

Hey, how the tempotec v6 compares vs the Fiio M11 Plus just in sound experiences ?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

V6 should be better in dynamics, impact and overall resolution

[@iandbike8734]

@@AudiophileHeaven whaaat ? and this for less half of the price ?!

[@iandbike8734]

Would you say it sounds also better than a questyle m15 on an iPhone 13 Pro ?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

@@iandbike8734 Yes.

[@alphaniner3770]

looks like an interesting kickstarter - runs till October 5th and is obviously funded already. - are these HiBy Seeds II earphones worth it? - quite a discount on that one if included.

[@AudiophileHeaven]

I reviewed Hiby Seeds II on a separate occasion. Sound is good, but they are literally the heaviest IEMs I had in my entire life www.audiophile-heaven.com/2021/03/hiby-seeds-ii-worlds-heaviest-iems.html

[@Gadgetibles]

Tempotec v6 or Ibasso dx170 or Shanling m3 ultra which would you recommend based on sound quality, battery life and UI?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Sound quality - DX170, Battery Life DX170 or M3 Ultra, and for UI DX170 or M3 Ultra. Overall, DX170 right now, but M3 Ultra has a thicker, warmer sound if that is your thing

[@sudeepsadan]

Hi, How is its OS and its streaming?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Hii, the OS is very solid, but it is not very good with streaming...

[@Rakshit0076]

Wow. Considerably better than M11 pro.. that's crazy!!!! Would this be an upgrade from the ibasso dx160 2020 and dx240

[@AudiophileHeaven]

It won't be an upgrade from DX160 or DX240, but it w.ill be similar performance to DX160 . Both are below DX240

[@JordanJacobson]

how is the sound when using bluetooth headphones?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

It is same as with every other smartphone and dap. Bluetooth sound does not chanr between Bluetooth sources

[@JordanJacobson]

@@AudiophileHeaven I got mine today! Do you know how to use the mirror screen? On their site it says we can mirror the screen to our phones but there's no instructions on how to do it

[@skyhawk3090]

Hi, let me know if you have to format your micro sd card?

Usually you don't have to, most cards should be vizible and work straight out of the factory.

[@anuragkakkar9218]

Hello you are so good at explaining all. I need help, I am confused between Sony NW-A306 VS TempoTec V6. Currently, i am using FiiO - BTR7 DAC, Do i really need to buy any DAP?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Thank you! I don't think you need a DAP, but it may make your life easier. V6 is much better for all IEMs and headphones, better dynamics, more driving power, and better sound in general, so I would go for it instead of A306. BTR7 is very capable, but it still applies bluetooth compression, so I would ideally recommend a DAP for better sound

Tempting. Only issue for me is battery life. I'm considering buying shanling m3x for its longer battery life, so I can take it on several day long camping trips. I know you said its better than m3x, but I don't know if its really worth it for me because of shorter battery life

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Battery life is indeed not the longest, but what I try to do nowadays is carry a portable battery when I think I'm about to run out 😩

[@blastingoff]

@@AudiophileHeaven I will consider the v6 and hopefully decide before the indiegogo campaign ends.. because that discounted price is the only thing helping me consider it right now. :P

Shanling m3 ultra or this? Planning to get

[@AudiophileHeaven]

It is a very hard question, M3 Ultra is a bit pricier, but it works better in some ways, more holographic sound, while V6 is more warm. M3 Ultra has some minor delay on the USB DAC function, while V6 does not have as much delay.

Fiio M11S or Tempotec V6 🤔🤔🤔

[@AudiophileHeaven]

Tempotec V6, better sound in general

[@capitanlevi203]

@@AudiophileHeaven Your comment that at one point Fiio's sound went down is interesting. Many comments on the M11 pointed out that it was very shiny and thin. This tempotec V6 seems to be far superior to that and many others. I was also considering an Ibasso Dx170 although the battery on that one is theoretically 11 hours. How much battery does the Tempotec reach when listening to mp3 320 kbps and flac files at a moderate volume through the unbalanced input?

[@AudiophileHeaven]

@@capitanlevi203 the batter is similar between them, maybe slightly in the advantage of DX170 I agree, M11 is quite thin and shiny in sound, and that's not good, sounds shallow and lacks impact / bass. V6 is more balanced and natural

[@rchemic]

Has anyone’s V6 started to rattle? There is some kind of loose piece of metal that rattles around in mine.Temptec hasn’t responded to my emails. It hasn’t been dropped and just sits in my car. 🤔

[@AudiophileHeaven]

I am really sorry to hear about your experience, I have not heard from Tempotec in a while, but my unit behaves perfectly, so not sure what might have happened. They are most responsive on the Aliexpress store messenger page if you need to hear from them

Hello, my friend. Please tell me which sound is better to choose, TempoTec V6 , Hiby R6 iii , Sony a306 , thanks for the answer❤

Generally speaking, I would go for R6 III more, it is a more modern device, but V6 Variations can sound as good, just not as good as a DAP , less interesting software and such

I've been reading the comments. But question is inevitable. Which would you choose: V6, M3U, M11 Plus ESS/LTD or Hiby R6 III...? Talking just in sound quality and how do they compare each other?Thanks!

[@AudiophileHeaven]

From that list, M3 Ultra or R6 III are slightly smoother and more rounded as devices right now, likely the better options. V6 sounds amazing, and so does M11, but R6 III and M3 Ultra have slightly better support for streaming, etc.

[@MrPatosexyhot]

@@AudiophileHeaven so you'd say that they all sound better than the V6? Thanks for your answer

[@AudiophileHeaven]

V6 is in betweeen M3U and R6 3, but as a DAP the other two might be a bit more suited for streaming. Sonically, V6 is a solid choice
