Thanks for the link. Did you manage to turn only the small rubber band 'inside out'? The one I saw was this. Seems a bit too easy to me 😀

Just want to ask if there is any special 'trick' involved in putting the ear pads on the 109 Pro? They have a YouTube video where someone replaces them in not much more than a minute. I think that must be a magician of some kind 😀 To me it seems a bit like trying to put toothpaste back in the...

Decided on the Topping A90D instead of the Violectric. Also I got the balanced cable for the Arya Organic from Audiocables.eu. Took 11 days from order to delivery with UPS . Arya on top of the Topping besides the Lehmann BCL.

FWIW, I have used the Arya Organic like this: Samsung S24+/Tidal -> AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt -> Arya No problem getting sufficient volume with this setup

Just got the cable from China today. Seems to be well made. So it only took 2 weeks to get it, not a month, and there was no hassle with duty or VAT. Seller pays VAT, and as the amount was under €150 there was no duty to pay.

For those looking for a replacement cable, I also found this site: https://www.audiocables.eu/ I have ordered one of these with 4-pin XLR: https://www.audiocables.eu/products/mogami-braided-cable-for-hifiman-headphones-balanced-trrrs-xlr-trrs?variant=39809136361552 I'm planning to replace my...

With Tidal Connect you can actually 'play' music videos, but you only get the audio part. You can not see the video on the phone/tablet or the Eversolo display.

Thanks for the links. I have ordered one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005762497503.html Now it's just to wait a month for it to arrive 😀

Just got a new pair of Arya Organic. So far I'm quite happy with them in the following setup: Tidal -> Eversolo DMP-A8 -> Lehmann Black Cube -> Arya I would like to ask if there are any recommendations for upgrading the cable to something better than the stock one? I have been browsing this...

#3334 Got them right after they were released in 2006 😀

I have an iRiver h140, with rockbox, as well as the k501. All the music that I have on the iRiver are CD's ripped and encoded to FLAC, and I would say that with this setup, the answer to the question of the iRiver being able to drive the k501 is that it very much depends on the actual CD that...

fengmian, I think it mostly comes down to your source and whether or not you like the inherent sound of the K701. The Lehmann seems to be generally considered a clean, transparent and neutral amp, which does not add much to the source it is fed. My main setup is foobar -> USB -> Apogee...

Going backwards from Kind of Blue I would definitely start with Milestones (1958) and then any of the Relaxin', Steamin', Workin' and Cookin' albums (1955). Moving forward from Kind of Blue to the 'second great quintet' I would recommend E.S.P. (1965), Miles Smiles (1966) and Nefertiti...

Most likely it is Patrick Chardronnet http://www.de-bug.de/review/26956.html

Another cable with transparent insulation is the Sommer Corona: http://www.sommercable.com/2__produk..._800_0079.html Not sure of its availability outside of Europe.

The EMU analog breakout cable does not have RCA jacks but rather 1/4" phone jacks, so you will need either 1/4" -> RCA cables or alternatively a pair of 1/4" -> RCA adapters, which will allow you to use different RCA cables.

drp, Thanks again. I have actually downloaded the manual, and if it's safe to just move the jumpers to the TRIM position, then I will definitely do that.

Thanks for the reponses so far. Quote: Originally Posted by drp .... Additionally, with the XLRs' internal jumpers set to calibrated mode (not adjustable from volume knob), you might find the signal a little hot. I had to turn down my XLR outs a bit to connect to a GLite with the...

I will get an Apogee mini-dac in a few days, and I am going to connect the analog-out from this to a Lehmann Black Cube amp, which does not have balanced inputs, only RCA. I know that I could connect the two via the the mini-dac's 1/8" jack and a mini-jack -> RCA cable, but I would prefer to...
