Well unfortunately the usb input died and the single ended output just came off with the pcb contacts when dissaessmbling to trouble shoot

By M3 I meant the bricasti M3, which is a very competitive AIO dac dac amp in a similar price range to the neve. The purpose of pre-amp transformers is still very different to sound reproduction. It's like someone who makes guitar pedals suddenly making a DAC, it's a very different category. I...

I tried this at canjam London This is a more negative review. More dynamic than the little aml, but this is disappointing, especially compared to the M3 and the RME. It just sounds like the dynamics are compressed, really narrow stage lacking depth. The veil of the RME in terms of the softer...

Maybe they found that he newer chips offered a different sonic signature to what they wanted.

Do you regularly use the streaming services on the CT10? If so can you download music for offline use like the apps can on other operating systems?

I'm considering between this and the m0 With the streaming function, can you download music for offline use in streaming apps which normally support it on phones?

I was lucky enough to hear the Glenn at Canjam London. For context I am friends with the UK ZMF distributor and kept visiting and listening on the system Throughout the day and probably racked up 30 minutes of listening time. The ZMF UK distributor used to bring his iha1 and I've heard that amp...

Compared to a diffuse field curve, Harman's based bumped, treble and upper mids isn't actually too different, if anything there is greater preference to treble. I don't think it's possible to make statements about most audiophiles based on Harman's sample since it is small. It's very possible...

World class in resolution for sure, but the tone isn't really linear.

That very much depends on the compensation, even without the raw measurements The hd800 lower mids are bumped and the upper mids are dipped. Concha gain is at 6khz, outside the midrange and in lower treble. Harman curve is a preference curve from a bunch of people selected by harman, it's not...

Impressions from canjam 2019. The low level detail and dynamics out of these are terrifyingly realistic Kick drums smack and then move into decay consistently, easy to tell apart from a snare drum Staging like a good headphone, similar seperation as hd800 without the diffuse feel The seperation...

I'd argue that most flagships have flaws in the mid range. Hd800 mids are definitely not right, the upper mids are dipped and the lower mids are bumped, it's a thick presentation which pushes bass guitars forward. Sr1-a and 009 are similar in that they have more weight on the upper mids and...

Favourite headphone was the HEDDphone, favourite amp was the raggy 2, Iems weren't something I really went around swapping. Glenn was at the zmf booth, so I don't think anyone wanted to ask if they could try it on the amp

Great show to host, compared to last year I noticed dap companies didn't have the same presence at booths and a lot more people brought their own daps. On mobile, so I don't know how to format this. Acoustune Hs1695ti Fit much better than old stuff Bumped presence region, Have a hollow sort of...
