Minor mishaps at delivery, but Joe stepped-up to make things right. I really appreciate the good character in this day and age!

I've been running the LCD-Rs with a Chord Qutest since I got them (~2 years now) and just flipped it out for a Holo Spring KTE. Holy smooth and wide details, Batman! I also threw a Lokius into the mix and changed the source from a MacBook Pro to the iFi New Stream, but not all simultaneously...

Everything is as described, along with some fast shipping! Thank you for the Hart connects.

PM’d.

Did you notice any sound changes?

Thanks for giving it a try. I have the preamp Spring 3. Would be odd if that changes things. I’ll reach out to Tim at Kitsune. So far I’ve just been bitching in this thread :deadhorse:

I have to unplug the XLRs from the Spring DAC. We may be saying the same thing.

It does not feed two amps at the same time. If XLR is plugged in, RCA does not function.

As a more casual audio hobbyist, I first want to thank all the technical posts in this thread for broadening my mind on capabilities. This education will affect future upgrade paths. This thread also helped me choose the Spring over the May. The extra $2,000 didn’t seem worth the extra gain and...

Described well and delivered in that condition - quickly. These Celeste’s are sweet! Thanks!

Dropped off this morning. Been tuning and playing off and on. Music, podcast, more music, movie, more music. Haven’t tried a phone call yet. The FoKus Pro is more detailed than the Falcon Pro to my ears. Bass doesn’t hit as hard, but feels more refined. I’d be happy with either buds and even...

My Falcon Pros disappeared. in a house with 3 young kids, things like this happen. Hopefully they show up soon. After a few weeks without, I broke down to get the FoKus Pros. Looking forward to giving them a spin when the brown truck arrives today or Monday.

Turbo gain between 68 and 73 on the sound bar is pretty good with the Diana Phi’s! I am delightfully surprised. Usually these cans need something with a lot more oomph than a portable device. Listening to the Di Phi’s in the office is a real treat! Yay for the M8.

Me too. I see you're in photography, so I'll just tell you I'm crazy impressed with the iPhone 13 Pro's image-taking capabilities. Normally, I'd throw my 90mm tilt/shift on a large aperture for a product shot like this. When the phone can mimic a 600mm f4, the Canons will get really dusty...

Office day with the “new to me” Diana Phi. The details in these bad boys are some of the best I’ve ever heard. Thoroughly enjoying this work day! Shanling M8 on Turbo gain is satisfying. Looking forward to playing with some larger gear at home.

Everything as described and fast communications! Thoroughly enjoying the Diana Phi's. Thanks.

That’s what I have on order, so glad to hear the last part.

Is that the Serene or Spring? I’m waiting on my Spring 3 to come in for this pairing. Can’t wait!

I finally got around to looking at my R6 more. I was planning to repair it, but the battery bulge pushed things so far out I think the damage is beyond repair. It has been disposed of. Shame, as this thing was a nice piece of gear. The old Magic 8 Ball says "outlook not good" for whether I...

Product as promised, fast shipping, and better communication! Highly recommend.

Interested - PM coming.

Guessing these are sold by now. PM'd just in case they aren't.

Between this thread and Cameron’s review I’m $3,900 lighter. I was pretty much sold on this DAC weeks ago, but Cameron’s argument for adding the preamp put me over the top for the loaded version
