Comment by 'ken6217' on listing 'Dynalo Mk2 - Fully Balanced/Supersymmetry/Golden Reference PSU'
But it’s not the same design. The amp does not have single ended inputs for one. You can ask the moderator to delete my comments if you want, but I’m just saying it’s not proper to state, or try to infer that it’s the same amp in the review as it is not.- ken6217

“Bob Katz review of the Dynalo Mk2 linked below”. Putting that link in there is tantamount to saying that it’s the same amp. Sure you did. If you knew more about Birgir’s amp, you would know.- ken6217

Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone
Gotcha. I’m in the USA. Even though it did go relatively smooth for me, the guy who is the US distributor said that Final or Audio in Japan is it necessary the best at communicating- ken6217

Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone
What country are you in? I sent an email to Final audio Audio on a Sunday and they responded back on Wednesday or Thursday. I think they told me it would take three or four weeks for me to get them back, but it ended up being about seven weeks.- ken6217

Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone
I have no idea what it actually was. I just know that it seems to me that was the issue. On the other hand, they told me they couldn’t find anything wrong with it but replaced it anyway.- ken6217

Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone
No problem. The left driver stopped working. I have a feeling that it was the socket that the cable termination sat in. I was actually the third owner and it had looked a little hinky when I got it. So even though they needed to replace the one side, they do replace both regardless.- ken6217

Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone
I already stated above that they go back to Japan, at least if you’re in the United States. I sent mine back to the US distributor in December, they sent to the Japan, I got them back about seven weeks later. It doesn’t matter where you buy them in the United States. If you have an issue and...- ken6217

They are pretty bad. I got lucky that I got a hold of somebody here. It just so happens that Final audio distributor is also the Cayin distributor for the USA as well and I knew him from that.- ken6217

Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone
I had a problem where my left driver stopped working and I contacted Final audio in the USA. I shipped it to them and they shipped it to Japan. They won’t replace one driver as they say they both have to match sonically. It was $1900 with the two year warranty. They actually ended up giving me a...- ken6217

T+A HiFi - DAC 200 - Official Discussion Thread
That’s what I was thinking. My plan is to upgrade my K22 and then it will be easier to use HQP. However right now I want to see if this DAC is in the ballpark using PCM. That’s why I was curious which settings give its best foot forward using PCM.- ken6217

I appreciate the reply. Not going to be applicable in my case was right now I’m using an Antipodes K22, and I’m not sure if there’s any settings to do that. I’m going connect it and let it play and if it sounds good, that’s great if not, I’ll pass. I buy equipment to plug and play and listen...- ken6217

T+A HiFi - DAC 200 - Official Discussion Thread
I’m getting the DAC 200 this week on loan to demo. I read through a lot of of these thread and saw some of the recommended filter settings. Are there any other recommended settings I should set to get a good indication of the sound? For the time being it’s only going to be for PCM. I’m...- ken6217

And reading through the review of the Oladra, it seems to take the same path as what I said originally earlier today about what happens when you go up the chain. Some people might take that review as an upgrade, I would take it as a disappointment. Of course that’s based on my own musical taste...- ken6217

Is that the one on Hi-Fi Advice? I skim through that before I bought anything. I’ll have to revisit it. Btw, I’ve seen your name on other forums in the past, (I think What’s Best), and every time I see your avatar, I say to myself: “ God Damn Eagles”!! I’ve been a Cowboys fan for decades. 😃- ken6217

If someone has listened to, or owned, and can compare the sound difference between the K22 on its own versus the K22+ K41 and/or the K50, I would appreciate it.- ken6217
