DC, VA, MD Areas Head-Fi Up Coming Meet At Fairfax City Library on 9/30/23
Hope to make it there mid-afternoon. I'll have an Asgard3 with Sennheiser 6XX and the Jotunheim 3 w/MB DAC and DCA Noire combo. If I'm feeling froggy I'll also bring my Yggdrasil A1, but no promises.- caecillius

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
As someone who works in television broadcast I gave up on surround sound years ago after seeing/hearing how we absolutely butcher the source media (5.1 > 2.0 > 5.1) and that's before handing it off to cable providers at the end who do their own butchery as well. We once had a producer get so mad...- caecillius

West on 7 towards Leesburg is a place called Black Hog that does NC style that my wife likes even more than the places we've been to in NC and we've eaten a lot of NC BBQ.- caecillius

There’s one in Ashburn, next to the Lidl. Make sure you get it freshly fried as I’ve found it doesn’t age well.- caecillius

I prefer Switchcraft 2.5mm connectors myself. They are narrow enough to fit the recessed entry of the HifiMan stuff. Mouser carries them. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Switchcraft/850X?qs=sGAEpiMZZMv0W4pxf2HiV6YB0RWJpyofXIHMvsECE44%3d- caecillius

+1 for Zendesk. Used it for several years at a small software outfit when we had the exact same problem with missing emails. It pretty much eliminated the problem, for us anyway.- caecillius

Jason, will you and/or Mike be at Capital Audio Fest this weekend? I saw Schiit was an exhibitor but wasn't clear if it was just a Schiit kit or reps as well.- caecillius

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
I have the 6XX and yes, they use the dual pin connector. Be careful with 3rd party versions though as one pin is slightly larger than the other but it's easy to mix them up and ruin your headphones if you aren't careful.- caecillius

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
Yes, you can strip the ends of a stock Sennheiser cable and use a standard TRRS connector. I would recommend getting a couple as they can be tricky to solder without damaging the plastic inside the connector. Also note, the Sennheiser cable wire usually has an enamel on the wire which you'll...- caecillius

Based on the link it looks to be the same pinout as Astell&Kern uses.- caecillius

Yes, you'll need some additional R(ings) on the 2.5mm jack so you can solder in four wires for it to be balanced. What is the device you'll be connecting to with the 2.5mm side?- caecillius

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
For my 400i I used Switchcraft 850X connectors. They are TS, not TSR. Hifiman uses TSR because they are easier to source I assume but aren't necessary. So each side just goes + to tip and then - to sleeve. Edit: Ninja'd by zacrobmer- caecillius
