    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Anybody know of a good low priced 2.5mm balanced cable for the Nighthawks. I got a Fiio BTR5 recently and would like to try out its balanced input.

    Shanling UP4 & UP2 - Bluetooth 5.0 DAC/AMP with ES9218P, balanced output, supporting LDAC, HWA LHDC, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX and AAC.

    Is there any benefit of waiting for the UP4 if you won't be using the balanced output? Will it still provide extra power through the 3.5mm jack compared to the UP2. I need a BT receiver for running, but I'd also like to use it at home with my Audioquest Nighthawks.

    [FiiO M5] Compact and Versatile Hi-Res Music Player

    Can you use the M5 as a USB DAC/Amp with the Nintendo Switch. I know the BTR3 can, but I've heard somebody state the M5 will not work. Is this true?

    Theoretically, which have better audio, this or the BTR5 given the specs. They're both $99.

    Audioquests new Dragonfly Cobalt @TTVJAudio.com

    Out of curiosity, what would you recommend for a darker headphone. I own the Nighthawks and was thinking of buying the Red until I discovered this came out.

    [FiiO M5] Compact and Versatile Hi-Res Music Player

    Wait, does this not have all the features of the BTR3? I wanted this as a better Bluetooth receiver than the BTR3. I'm certainly not going to use it as merely a standalone DAP.

    Will we be seeing it on Amazon soon? Would prefer to order from there as I have gift cards to use.

    [FiiO M5] Compact and Versatile Hi-Res Music Player

    It has a higher quality DAC as well that should expand the soundstage, something that the BTR3 had very little of, but yes, it really should be looked at as a fancy portable BT receiver. I really don't have much use for a DAP, but this appeals to me more than the BTR3 for the times I don't want...

    Hope we hear a date and price soon. I need a BT receiver for running and Shanling M0, looked good, but I've heard nothing but negative comments regarding it's flimsy clip case. This one looks a lot better. I was tempted to get the BTR3, but all the comments about the narrow soundstage led me...

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Depends what you want out of a headphone. Owls have a more traditional sound that's more comparable to other headphones. The Hawks have a sound all of their own that some love and others are confused by. If you're going to buy either, the Hawks are the way to go because you'll never find...

    You could use Gummi Pflege on the rubber. It's meant for cars, but you'd be able to use it with a q-tip. It restores rubber.

    Mytek Announces Clef Mobile MQA DAC/Amp @ CES 2017

    I'd contact the card company you ordered it with to force a refund. They have buyer protection for situations such as this. Your emails will be proof that you've attempted communication. They'll refund you your money and go after Mytek to refund them.

    Thanks! Worth the gamble of seeing if the mic is good enough at that price. Those look at lot better than the ones I found on AliExpress too which look like they'll put a crazy amount of strain on the jacks of the ear cups. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32811317606.html

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    First I've heard of it breaking at the headphone connects, but I wouldn't be shocked if it did. Those cables that came with the wooden headphones were pretty bad. Both of mine still work oddly enough. Speaking of cables, does anybody know of one that includes a microphone? I'd like to use...

    Disappointing to hear their customer service is ignoring your emails. Mytek should be communicating with customers whose money they are holding onto. I don't understand why this product keeps getting delayed nor why we have heard nothing about it. Especially when they have no issues taking...

    Ha, good to know the hybrids are what the originals are. I might give the boost pads a try. Suede seems a bit unappealing as I do enjoy the bass these headphones put out.

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Few questions. I only have the original pads that come with the wooden model. Do the leather pads have any difference to what comes with the wooden ones? I'm considering buying the Hybrid pads from Audioquest, but I wanted to check if the leather are worth getting at all too given what I...
