McIntosh MHA-200. Close second is Ray Samuels Emmeline II "The Raptor." Great midrange on the McIntosh and a nice warm lush tubey sound on The Raptor.

Thanks Jason. It looks like I purchased the unit in October 2021, so it is still under warranty.

I've had my MHA-200 for a few years now and currently I am experiencing distortion - it sounds like a "rub" like the sound you hear when you rub your thumb and finger together close to your ear. The distortion can be heard from either side while the music is playing or not. It is intermittent...

Thanks, I'm a bit late lol.

There is a new Poly Firmware 3.2.1. See: https://chordelectronics.co.uk/poly-and-2go-firmware-release-notes Has this been out a while now? The new FW installed without problems for me.

Here is the info: https://chordelectronics.co.uk/2go-firmware-update-v1-6-0 My 2go updated to F/W 1.6 without an issue.

I had to send mine back too. From the beginning, the right earphone audio would cut in and out. I'm hesitant to buy a replacement pair.

Yes I've looked at it and have used it. The Roon Arc MUSE software used with the Sony NW-306 is quite a bit more robust. See: Good to know that the Sony EQ is there too, especially when I am offline.

I am a Roon user and regularly use the mobile app Roon Arc on my NW-306. Roon Arc recently updated and now includes MUSE Audio Precision Control which includes an EQ function. I primarily use my Sennheiser IE200's with my NW-306 when I am on the go and I'm currently using MUSE to give me a bit...

This may have been discussed before, but has anyone tried the Sony NW-a306 and the iFi Audio GO Link together? So, the Sony NW-a306 would be used as a digital transport in this case. Is that right?

I have the above combo. My LCD-X is the 2021 update. Sounds great.

I wonder how the Sennheiser IE200 pairs (sounds) with the Sony NW-A306 Walkman? These two would seem to be a nice more affordable pairing. Anyone care to chime in?

I wonder how the IE200 pairs (sounds) with the Sony NW-A306 Walkman? These two would seem to be a nice “entry- level” pairing. Anyone care to chime in?

I purchased one of these and can vouch for them. They work well.

I’m doing the same thing: Router Ethernet Cable > Fiber Media Converter > Fiber Optic Cable > Fiber Media Converter > Short Ethernet Cable > 2Go/Hugo2. Small Green Computer suggested that this would be a nice set up. Personally this is all I am going to do and invest in, but others may...

The iSINE 20 sounds great with either the Mojo 1 or Mojo 2. I use the built in Roon Audeze DSP Preset for the iSINE 20 and it sounds great, With the Mojo 2, I can use the Mojo 2’s DSP function to tweak the sound of the iSINE 20 as well.

Hi all, I purchased these recently and they sound quite good for the price. I lifted the lower and mid bass a bit using the DSP function on my Chord Mojo2/Poly combo and I changed out the eartips to the Spinfit W-1's which provide a nice seal. Sounds terrific. What has your experience been...

According to: https://spares.s-consumer.com/en-us/catalog/headphones-soundbars-headphones/ no IE200 parts (item numbers) as listed on the head gear page are currently available to order at this time. See this, for example: https://spares.s-consumer.com/en-us/catalog/sparepart/508959 Maybe...

Thanks Jason. I can see where the MHA200 volume control could be kept at unity gain and then a preamp could be connected to the MHA200 inputs. Then, one could use the preamp volume control for MHA200 headphone listening. I have to admit, I have never considered the MHA200 as a preamp which...

Jason, there are only inputs on the back of the MHA200, right? Where is the MHA200 pre-out you are talking about?

Not sure why Chord is taking so long to fix the software. I mentioned this bug in the 2Go thread quite some time ago. Chord customers could use some assistance but we aren’t getting the support we need.

Yes the ie200 fit is excellent. Does anyone feel that the ie200 bass sounds kind of “wet noodle” and artificial sounding? I have heard some reviewers describe the ie200 bass like this and I tend to agree. My mileage may be varying, though. Not sure.
