    Reply to review by 'milkdudd' on item 'Burson Audio Soloist Voyager'

    I like to keep my stuff powered up all the time. When using this as a preamp how hot will it be when not playing music? If it is turned off, how long would it take to reach optimum sound quality again? Thanks

    Romi Audio - The official thread

    Okay thanks that's good to know. Plus in my case I'll be doing it for no more than an hour until I leave the house. Another thing I thought of. I bought the case when I purchased it but have never unboxed it. This thing runs so hot (especially outdoors in the summer) that I can barely hold on to...

    Romi Audio - The official thread

    Sorry if it's already been discussed, but do any of you guys listen to your BX2+ while it's plugged in to the USB charger? My normal way of using this amp is I'll let it run (playing music) 30 minutes to an hour to get it to that nice toasty temperature. I've always done this unplugged from the...

    Yep, that's the one I was hoping it would be. Slightly different button layout because of the different functions of the reissue. Overall, the best remote I've ever used, especially for volume. Mine is the non-stepped volume control. I'm not kidding, a 1/10 of a second push (or whatever the...

    I assume the remote control is the machined aluminum one where the electronic mechanism is actually removable from it? Can anyone post a photo of it so I can be sure?

    ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion

    I have recently added a new amplifier (Romi BX2 Plus) and DAC (Questyle M15i) to my Ether 2 setup. I'll be needing a cable with 4.4 balanced connection. Can any of you suggest what would be a good cable to use? It would be nice to not pay $300 or $350 for the DCA cable. Of course I don't want...

    Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

    Since I posted this I've also noticed the Meze Advar. With the IE 600 on sale I have it narrowed down to these two. Any chance any of you have heard both? The Advar is $100 more but they're including the 4.4 balanced cable which I would need for the IE600 anyway. I'm within a day or so of...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Curious if any have experience with both the HD660S2 and Dan Clark Audio Ether 2. I currently have those and I listen to them using the XLR balanced cable and Violetric V281 amp. That setup sounds good but I don't find it extremely exciting if that makes sense. Might the HD660S2 provide that...

    Comment by 'milkdudd' in item 'Questyle M15i — Mobile Headphone Amp & DAC'

    I have an M15i on the way. I plan to pair it with my Romi BX2 Plus headphone amp using the iFi 4.4 to 4.4 cable. So I'll actually be using the M15i as just a dac. Do any of you use yours in a similar setup?

    Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

    It's probably just me but I'm reminded of this. At least a little bit!

    Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

    Looking to upgrade from my original Dunu Zen. Would most of you agree the IE600 is a noticeable step up? Also considering the Sony IER-M9. Not ruling out the Zen Pro. If there are others I should consider in the $1,000 price range please chime in. I'm using a Romi BX2 plus class A amp by the way...

    Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

    Curious if you or any others reading this have experience with the DCA Ether 2/V281 pairing. That's what I have (using the 4 pin XLR connection). While it sounds very good I don't really have anything to compare it to. I can't help but think there's more to be heard with more expensive...

    Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

    That is great advice. I had no idea such a shorting condition existed. Would you suggest the same procedure when plugging or unplugging any TRS or TRRS plug into any device?

    Violectric HPA V281 - Vorsprung durch Balanced (September 2023 Update: Limited Reissue Edition up for preorder!)

    I wish XLR (and mini XLR) had become the standard decades ago rather than TR(R)S. I'm sure people who know a lot more about this than I ever will know the reason it never happened
