    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4

    I picked up a Creative BT-W5 Bluetooth 5.3 transmitter (aptX, aptX HD, aptX adaptive) to use with the MTW4 and my Linux-based living room streamer. There's a Windows/macOS app that you can download to make the initial pairing. Once I did that, I plugged the transmitter into the USB-C port on my...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4

    The Sound Personalization option in the Smart Control app plays samples of music and asks you to set the volume where it is most comfortable for you. Based on your responses, it’s possible to make each volume step proportionately louder or softer. I think it’s the equivalent to using higher or...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4

    Initial impressions: Because I lost my MTW3 months ago, I've been using the AirPods Pro 2 as my daily portable earphones. I remember the MTW3 sounding more balanced than the APP2. That's also true with the MTW4 out of the box, but with some muffling of the bass and a leaner profile overall. The...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4

    UPS dropped off the MTW4 a few hours ago. I charged them up to 100% and updated the firmware. Looking forward to trying them out.

    My pair are arriving tomorrow. I lost my MTW3 months ago and waited until the MTW4 were announced to order them.

    DC Area Head-Fi Meet Planning (ongoing)

    If anyone in the DC area owns a Pangea Audio equipment rack, I'm looking to give away 19 rosewood and 2 carbon fiber shelves to anyone that wants them. I took the steel poles from the Pangea racks and built my own, so I no longer need the shelves. I live in Capitol Hill.

    Feedback by 'dcguy73' on listing 'Ferrum Hypsos DC Cable'

    Great seller! Good communication and very responsive. I purchased a power cable from him that arrived exactly as described in the ad. Recommended.

    iFi audio PowerStation - The Official Thread - New reviews at page 8 !!!

    You’re right. I don’t know why I mixed up the powerstation with their power cables. It is now priced at $749 on their website and I stand by my original comment about iFi Audio raising prices because they can get away with it.

    iFi audio PowerStation - The Official Thread - New reviews at page 8 !!!

    I stand corrected. It may just be an Amazon thing. The SupaNova cable is listed on iFi's website at $499, so you can buy it from them at a more reasonable price.

    iFi audio PowerStation - The Official Thread - New reviews at page 8 !!!

    It's not a new version. (EDIT) Amazon charges more than iFi does on their website.

    Portable Power Staion?

    There's no comparison. In my two-channel system, the PowerStation's active power conditioning makes the sound "sharper" (meaning accentuated treble and transients) at the same time it creates a blacker background. The "sharpening" effect is even more pronounced if I connect the PowerStation to...

    Portable Power Staion?

    I'm still experimenting and testing different permutations of my system with the EcoFlow. And I have the Delta 2 Max, not the smaller River series. Prior to purchasing the Delta 2 Max, I watched a lot of video reviews and read through published reviews about it. Available measurements showed...

    iFi audio SupaQuasar - Active power at its finest!

    I have always been among the first in buying new iFi Audio products (I own five SupaNova power cables), but not this time. I haven't seen anything in the descriptions of this product that really explain the price jump over the last batch, you still only make 1.8-meter cables (didn't you promise...

    Portable Power Staion?

    My little EcoFlow River conked out after 5 years. I took the plunge and purchased an EcoFlow Delta 2 Max LiFePo power station last night from EcoFlow's website during their Prime Day sale ($200 off + 8% off coupon code). It's the best price I've seen on this particular unit. I think this is a...

    Pathos Inpol Ear Headphone Amplifier

    Thank goodness for the spare fuse holder in the back of the InPol! I blew a fuse today due to bumping the power cable by mistake and was immediately able to swap it out and keep listening.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Yes, the S300+ averages around 55 degrees Celsius. Because there are no external heatsinks, the whole amp (feet included) acts as a heat sink. Keces assured me this is within spec and won't damage the internal components, but it's definitely warmer than the original S300. I have an OG S300 and...

    HiFiMan Susvara

    If anyone out there is questing for a new power amp contender for Susvara, I just picked up the new Keces S300+. It is biased higher in Class A than the original S300 and runs hotter. It also has a much improved damping factor which translates to a better controlled and more solid low end. I’m...

    Neck issues preventing headphone bliss

    I appreciate the suggestion. I have tried listening to headphones on a recliner with a neck pillow, but I still experience some discomfort. Maybe I'll give it another try.

    Neck issues preventing headphone bliss

    Long-time forum member here. Recently turned the big 5-0, and I’m feeling it. For the past year, I’ve had neck issues that have prevented me from enjoying my headphones. TLDR; I have advanced scoliosis and several bulging discs in my neck. The doctors recommended fusion surgery, but I said no...

    DENAFRIPS FPGA Firmware Update (12TH Anniv.)

    Did the firmware 3.7 update on my Terminator Plus using my M2 Mac mini. The directions were pretty easy to follow. No issues so far. Checked out the new sound a little bit. More treble presence, more clarity. Will listen more this weekend.

    DENAFRIPS Terminator: the King of R2R dac

    I had to submit a picture of the inside of my Terminator Plus DAC to Denafrips in order to get access to the new firmware...but I haven't heard back from them yet with a link or file. Has anyone with a T2 or T+ upgraded their firmware yet?

    Rockna Wavelight

    Right? I bought and sold a Wavelight DAC over a year ago on the promise this thing would come out “soon.”
