    iFi audio NEO Stream - Sweet Streams!

    I am now suddenly experiencing this problem after weeks of no problems with the network connection. i can only play a few seconds of a track before the NS disconnects itself from my network (it's hardwired in). All other devices on the network are fine. @iFi audio please advise. Thanks!

    Changing the cable can upgrade the Monarch MKII considerably. I wasn’t thrilled with them to begin with but when I paired them with a few different cables, I finally appreciated what they could do.

    Same here. Andrew @MusicTeck is probably the most universally praised person in the community in my experience, and with very good reason because his service is impeccable.

    I definitely haven't burned in the Szalayi for quite enough time to be able to give a truly definitive answer to that question but, from my current perspective, they are very different. The Szalayi is definitely not tamer, with less energy, that's for sure. At least not in the bass. What sets...

    I match @aaf evo's findings and I have the UIEM version of the XE6. I do have an unusually good fit with them though, so maybe that is why.

    It's added mid bass relative to the EVO might give the impression of it being more mid bass focussed but the XE6 absolutely does not skimp on the sub bass.

    I would have to A/B them all to give you a more specific answer but... I'd say the DM is further away in signature than the other two. Whereas the other two are clearly heavily bass dominant, I would describe the DM as 'reference' with an increased bass shelf. All IMR IEMs tend to have...
