Thank you so much for the response. I do not lisen at high volume (M1 9.30-11.30 have not go beyond that in long listening sessions at all). With HE1000 and V281 which is a powerful amp I would have stayed around 10 o clock too.

Sorry to ask about Arya again. You said it is similar yet you only use HE6SE in your comparison. Is this because you consider HE6SE is the hifiman flagship based on cans you you have heard/reviewed or becuase you do not have Arya to do the comparison? I think others reuqsted comparison to Arya...

May be that is why M1 does not respond to EQ becuase DSP does correction to bring to Harmon Target level?. I wrote to the CEO of SA and ask if they would consider making an app where user change select from predefines DSP settings optimised for pop, rock etc etc as M1 does not respond to EQ as...

Thank you very much for the review. I wished you have include Arya in the comparison too. Anyway great job

OK. I had to format it in FAT32 so used 32GB SDcard and got it done as FAT32 not avilable in 32GB+ - All good

Need help. I got QP1R and firware is 1.06. I downloaded latest firmware 1.09, formatted a SD card (64GB- Samsung) as exFAT (only available options are NTFS and exFAT), unzipped the firmware file and copy the q1.fw file to the root of the SD card, instered it to card 1 and then followed the...

If you like classical music, jazz, opera and vocals then Sonoma M1 system would be great but it is costly unless you could get a demo unit. I found HD800 good for this type of music but HD800 is a difficult beast - may be Luxman P200 if you could get for cheap would make HD800 tamed (for me that...

Thanks. Paw seems to be much expensive. I will go with QP1R

Thanks

Hi I had QP1R about 2 years ago when I tried IEMs. My main was Westone W80 but I found that onkyo dp-x1 was better sounding for W80. With QP1R AKG K812 was best that I have heard (more than V281+V850 combo and other AMPs/DACs I had including Mojo). I had HE1000 v1 with balances silver dragon...

Hi Need some advise on DAP to use with HEX V2. I have been using Foobar->Fiio K17->HEXV2 and at low voluments 22 our of 60 and low gain which is enough volume for me. I am considering QUESTYLE QP1(R) which I had in the past as I know it has the best resoving trebles, For me HEXV2 is vail in...

I now got a Hifiman HEX V2 as I thought I would like to compare sound of Hifiman with Sonoma. Do not want to get He1000 becuase I do not have DAC/AMP to drive it well. Wow Sonoma trash it like nothing. Even the sound stage, clartiy and impactful base which I never thought it would. Clarity is...

I have been reading more reviews on M1 and noted that there is a group of people that say it is not good and others who say it is very good. However I could not find any professional reviewers saying it is bad (Professional people meaning people who do reviews regularly in blogs etc) Most of the...

Ever since Tyll added this to WOF I was keen to hear this system. However I exited headphone hobby including listening to music as that was taking too much time and late night listening (so there is not outside noise) resulting in shorter nights thus not so positive work days. Of all the...
