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...

Soekris 1541, 1421. Soundevices usbpre2, As well as the already mentioned rme. Imo I've found chord to have a house sound. The stage tends to be a lot wider than most stuff and reduces the depth. The impact tends to be on the softer side, lending to a more laid-back presentation. It pushes the...

I got to try these at the last day at thr festival of sound, with acorn audio just behind me with his stock of zmf and his personal iha1 (my favourite amp so far). Headphone section at a British speaker show where the "biggest" companies are focal, naim, b&w, chord and all other brit-fi stuff...

The Geekout iem 100 and a chinese cs4398 dac, both of them had more bass extension, despite the fulla 2 being warmer and were less hazy. The haziness was noticeable to me when I first tried it.

I owned this a good while ago and currently own a geek out v2+ infinity. ImI not a big fan of the fulla2. What it offered for me was an upgrade over onboard audio, better definition around sounds, a sense of body. My main issues if found with time were linked to three key things about the...

A mixture of the price, the lack of marketing from competitors, the good marketing from schiit and taste I guess. Even "pro audio" companies with high end converters make stuff in the yggy price range. Main issue is a lot of the traditional high end audio companies like esoteric, dcs...

I've owned the er4sr for a while and very much enjoy them. Most multi Ba designs seem to have crossover issues, the andromeda being one which seems to suffer from it less, but doesn't isolate well. I just want to make a balanced cabled for them, I have read that he resistors have been moved out...

If Sony sell even a thousand of these, it's over couple million dollars of revenue. There are loads of products audiophile companies have released at what appears to be silly prices over the years. These arent a massmarket product. Esoteric sold a world clock for 24k USD. The margins here...

Audiosanctuary in new malden

My favourite headphones at this price point are probably, Creative Aurvana live, koss ksc75 (you can get porta pro drivers for them from China, maybe k612 pros and a900x.

Hi I'm Taief I'm not really new here, just don't use forums often. I currently use my geekout iem 100 and lightning dongle as my sources, saving up for a zx300. My amplifier is the Lehmann linear clone. I have owned many headphones, some which were really me wasting my money and some which...
