Wireless Headphones?
Stay away from the 5909, known to fall apart because the glue on the headpand and earpads lets go.- martin778

Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone
Second head band is gone, pleather let go everywhere. Impossible to glue back in as the pleather absorbs hair oils so no way to glue it back in. Seriously fed up with the such low build quality of the 5909. Unacceptable in this price range.- martin778

GUSTARD DAC-R26 Balanced Decoder R2R+1Bit Dual Native Decoding Music Bridge
It's like pitch changes with male singers starting to sing a bit closer to Barry White lol, what's even crazier is that it goes back to normal immediately after turning the external clock back on. When I turn it off again, the pitch drops again, it is 100% repeatable and always gives the same...- martin778

GUSTARD DAC-R26 Balanced Decoder R2R+1Bit Dual Native Decoding Music Bridge
Guys, riddle me this: Gustard R26 connected to an external 10MHz clock and to a streamer with a USB cable, I turn the external clock off while the music is playing - the pitch drops noticeably but everything still plays - screen on the R26 says EXT ERR (obviously) but it still plays undistorted...- martin778

Uhm isn't it the same as Eversolo A8 i2S? I though I had a picture of both and they were the same except for a small name change. I bought the A8 but sadly I don't have both the R26 and the A8 in the same house at the moment so cannot try it out. Eversolo: (Eversolo can swap mute pin in settings)- martin778

Not sure how important the micro SD card is when the unit is running and not using the LAN input but microSD's occassionaly 'die'. If it's doing lots of R/W you can try replacing it if it happens again.- martin778

I'm thinking about changing to the Eversolo A8 as it has the IIS HDMI output which the A6 lacks. However, the pinout on IIS/I2S is non standard so I wonder - has anyone paired an A8 with R26 yet? I'm afraid the A8 will be close sound wise to making the R26 redundant.- martin778

I bought another R26 but with the OCK2 clock... but the clock is useless when using USB, right? Have the Eversolo A6 as transport and wondering how to hook it up to the R26 to it the best way. Kinda a brain fart moment, especially knowing A6 doesn't have i2S on HDMI.- martin778

Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread
I've cancelled mine earlier this year, wonder if the 12 month voucher will add on top of my last ~month or will it just overwrite the currently remaining days. + Wait, what is this BS - the BF deal is gone and the normal price of a gift card is not €150 but €162 now? What!
