Up for sale are my JAR800 v3 headphones as modified by Jupiter Audio Research. These JAR800 are easily the best headphones I have ever heard or owned in my life, and I have chosen to part with them as I look to downsize my headphone setup and spend more time on other hobbies including listening...

Putting my WA6-SE up for sale, it is in good working condition and sounds excellent with my current headphones (HD650 and HD800). With the unit I am including my preferred tubes (Mullard GZ32 and Sylvania fat bottle 6EW7) along with additional tubes for rolling including pairs of Sylvania 6DE7...

Thanks for the quick response! @audiobomber

Has anyone had the chance to compare the Oyaide Neo class A vs. the Ghent Audio JSSG360? They seem to be two of the best value cables around.

Thank you! That looks like quite the cleaning kit. Will try some of that myself and see if it helps.

Does anyone have intermittent channel cut outs depending on the rotation of the headphone jack in the socket? Both of mine have it to some degree and I also experienced it on another person's unit. Both channels comes back if I rotate the jack slightly and leave it there. Wondering if some...

Thanks a lot for your response - I'll keep that in mind as I build my chain and may need to increase my budget.

@earnmyturns could you comment on the synergy of your DACs with the SCM40A? I'm looking at building the following chain: Pi2AES > DAC > Freya S > SCM40A and have been considering the LIM or Soekris 2541 for digital duties. Want to make sure whichever I choose is a good match for the ATCs. Thanks!

Can I ask which leather case that is?

At least on the official site for Dignis the leather cases are 75 USD (83,000KRW) while the Musashino costs 85 USD (9,510JPY) in Japan. I guess I am looking for a case in black or navy, something less flashy (that is what I meant by normal colors).

Any recommendations for nice leather cases? So far I have seen: -Miter: good colors but the bulk added by the stand is not so appealing -Dignis: looks great but the colors of Red, Yellow and Teal are not my cup of tea -Musashino: most expensive of the 3 but with "normal" colors and a nice build...

I'm using a Samsung 256GB microSD. It works.

Maybe try turning off the player, taking out the SD card, then turning the player back on to make sure it's working fine. Then, put the SD card in your computer, reformat it and load all your music on, then turn off your player and put the SD card back in. Let it turn on and build the database...

I can confirm that the Chinese version has an English language option. Tried it myself.

Just played with one at a Sony store, the UI is pretty slow compared to my iPhone; not terribly so, but I'm still trying to decide if it's a deal-breaker or not.

The million dollar question is still whether or not it can accept 200gb+ microSD cards. Has anyone tried it yet?

Thanks for all the responses, I will open it up and see what I can do. It's very slight, but it's there.

Has anyone successfully tightened their volume knob or do you just live with the little bit of wiggle?

Is there any way to get Last.fm scrobbling working with this player? Perhaps when I connect it to my computer it could scrobble via Foobar or another program? If anyone has tried it, would be great to get some help. Thanks!

Yes, although some said Alpha pads sound worse than Focus pads, maybe Ether pads would be better?

Has anyone tried Ether C pads on the 400i? Could be interesting.

Good advice. It works fine, just a small detail that bothered me. I agree that Hifiman shouldn't have strayed so far from the adjustment mechanisms used in Beyers and Senns.

How are the "H" headband adjustment locks for everyone? One of mind has a bit of give if I touch it, but it still takes a good amount of force to move it up or down a notch. I am thinking about unscrewing the 2 screws on it and having a look if it can be tightened inside. Has anyone opened it up...

Any reason to not get the Magni2U/Modi2U to drive these cans?
