hold the shutdown button down for about three seconds, or hold the button until the lights flash and then the Zen will turn off.

"update"... "Zen Stream"... "firmware"... :thinking:

in this respect, dear rlawry, even with all its problems, the AKG K1000 is still better than the Sr1a/b and the mySphere 3. It's amazing... When audiophile jargon talks about "naturalness", it usually refers to timbre, forgetting that the distribution of sound in space should also sound...

I'm a fan of ear speakers (K1000, Sr1a, mySphere, Stax-Sigma), I consider them to be superior for the type of music I listen to, recognizing, of course, their flaws, there's no such thing as a perfect transducer. Periodically, the possibility of selling the BHSE + SR-009 combo enters my horizon...

1. AKG K1000 BH 2. AKG K1000 BL 3. Raal SR1a 4. LB mySphere 3.2 ?. Stax SR-009 (the orange among the apples) 5. Stax SR-Sigma 404 6. Stax SR-Sigma NB

Hi, please help me detect and eventually solve a problem in my rather complex system. The DAC is connected directly to the BHSE through the balanced XLR output, I use the balanced XLR loop output of the BHSE to send the same signal to a preamp with pseudo-balanced XLR inputs, i.e. single-ended...

of course, this would be a technically feasible and aesthetically (in my case) questionable option, but if there are streamers on the market that offer the wifi option, as is the iFi Zen I own, why do it? I would like to integrate Arce into my system because it has an i2s output, eliminating...

because there is no way to connect an ethernet cable from the router to the streamer, the electrical conduits of my residence do not accommodate more cables than the ones that already exist and I would have to live with a cable crossing the living room

If Denafrips offered wifi as an option it would be the perfect streamer for my needs.

I understand what the colleague means and I accept his perspective, which refers to things sounding (and in this sense, artists intend something), but I refer to the sound of things, an auditive phenomenon of positioning that qualifies the specifically audiophile position, derived from a strange...

OMG... a dream!

When I read that annoying platitude "as the artist intended" I ask myself how Weiss, Bach, Buxtehude, Beethoven and a plethora of other great and true artists through the centuries "intended their works to sound". It doesn't make any sense. And it doesn't even make sense to the performers...

It's really interesting how good the Sigmas sound when playing stereo recordings from the 1960s. I believe Hayashi-San developed the Sigma with these Living Stereo recordings as a reference.

I believe the Sigmas were developed under the impact of the RCA Living Stereo recordings, because they sound great with it, even better than contemporary recordings. If the classical genre appeals to you, I suggest giving it a try...

Yes, they are standard And the pores are very closed. Has the S model been revised?

That's great to know, Herr Renner, that it's safe to use it like that, but let me ask: using the "Transparent" cushions, will the sound be altered too much compared to using them without any cushion or will I get a similar result?

A small great discovery... 100% of my listening is devoted to classical repertoire from the European musical tradition (but created by composers from all over the world) and something from the venerable Indian classical music tradition. In recent years, almost all of that time has been taken up...

Thank you for reducing my technical ignorance, Herr Renner. As a professor, I am always ready to learn.

that's the technical/design contradiction that all ear speaker lovers have to live with. I have accepted them as they are. Among the four successful models (considering the Stax Sigma variants as part of the group, although it doesn't fall entirely under that category), AKG K1000 is the only one...

ok, I will keep searching...

Thank you, I contacted them the day before yesterday, but they told me they don't ship to other countries. I would buy that amount of material with no problem if they shipped to Brazil, and I would experiment with my Stax Sigma units, replacing that wool just for the pleasure of experimenting...

Thank you, Herr Renner and other members who tried to help, but... "standardmäßiger", "standard", means not reticulated? The whole difficulty is in obtaining 80ppi foam, reticulated or not.

ok, I give up... could someone please recommend me a technically perfect substitute material ("same" acoustic properties) for the virtually unobtainable 80ppi :rage: reticulated polyurethane foam with open cellular structure? Not without fear, I decided to disassemble one of my very low serial...
