I purchased the LA-QXD1 in Feb, 2021 and used it as my DAC for my cubicle at work for about a month, before upgrading to a Bifrost 2. I am the original owner. As stated above, I only used it for about a month, so it is in like-new condition with very limited use. This is an excellent, budget...- Schwibbles

Selling my Cavalli/Massdrop Liquid Carbon X (no DAC). I am the second owner and purchased it in May, 2020 to use in my cubicle at work. I am selling because I upgraded my work setup and it has spent (almost) the last year sitting in my bedroom. It needs to go to a good home with someone who...- Schwibbles

Up for sale is my excellent condition, 2020 model Hifiman Sundara. I am the original owner. I purchased them new back in January, 2021 out of curiosity and partially because my Utopia had to go out for warranty driver replacement. I am selling because they've sat in storage (aka a headphone...- Schwibbles

I can confirm that the Utopia sounds great out of it. If you're going to get a dedicated amp in the future, then the 2541's XLR out should hold you over until then. BUT, as @Baten mentioned, a good dedicated amp will sound better. Even something relatively inexpensive like a Jotunheim 2 gives a...- Schwibbles

Thank you! Been using it the last couple days and haven't run into any issues yet; it seems very stable. Hopefully it wasn't too much work for you to update.- Schwibbles

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
Increasing 4k slightly (+~2dB) did seem to make a positive change after increasing the lower midrange.- Schwibbles

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
I started messing around with some EQ for like 30 minutes one night, but I don't usually use EQ and I didn't make much progress. When I started messing around with the upper bass/lower midrange dip, it accented the slight recession in the presence region that can be seen on measurements. When I...- Schwibbles

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
I updated my original comment to correct my mistake. I mixed up my thoughts and was thinking about something completely different. I believe it's the same driver. My apologies.- Schwibbles

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
Not entirely sure if I have this loaded correctly, but I plugged in all those numbers into my EqualizerAPO and it seems to make the Celestee sound significantly worse. You're lowering the response of the midrange and boosting the treble like you're trying to make them a v-shaped response? The...- Schwibbles

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
Edit: It does not have a new driver. I was thinking of a different heaphone entirely and got my thoughts mixed up. I originally incorrectly stated there was a new driver. Has anyone put Celestee pads on an Elegia and seen what happens?- Schwibbles

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
I looked over my Celestee when I got it and noticed something a little weird. I haven't seen any others post about it and I honestly forgot to post about it until now, but it appears that mine has a small printing issue on both of the cups where it says, "Celestee". It's been bugging me in the...- Schwibbles
