Thanks for this…I got 20cm one but I really like what it brings to the table. Deeper soundstage is noticeable.- kumar402

As rule they re-shell only customs to customs but if you request they might do. Drop them an email or reach out via iMessage. They will charge $900 + return shipping- kumar402

SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2
I just edited my post…I meant Wi-Fi On and Screen Off will give more than 10 hrs. Only DSD Upsampling and screen usage brings Walkman to last less than 10 hrs.- kumar402

I like warm and smooth sound and I get it from Raphael. Unfortunately I never tried any expensive IEM cable. Code 23 was other one I had earlier but it was thick and heavy and broke the the 2 pin connector of my IEM so I sold it off at loss and have decided to never use any heavy cable ever for...- kumar402

The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
You don’t need to pump out 120 out of Walkman. Give it low voltage and let amplifier do its job. Many amplifier work better at unity gain and above.- kumar402

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
Since you, as an owner, are not comfortable and leaning towards new so go for new. Doesn’t matter what we think. It will always be in back of your head and will spoil your listening experience.- kumar402

HQPlayer Impressions and Settings Rolling Thread
Canjam is not a great place to listen to hardware only forget about listening to subtle changes that upsampling brings unless you get a quiet listening room. Anyone can get a trial version and try at home.- kumar402

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
Transformer buzzing is due to DC or Ground loop. Connect it in same power outlet as other devices. Nothing to do with MJ3. Atleast I haven’t experienced from MJ3 that I have. It may be faint but not loud to be heard across room. And ground loop is common cause of loud buzz from transformer- kumar402
