    xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend

    I think a signal to rear line-out is coming directly from OV4627 pre-amp, and to front headphone-out goes from OV4627 through MAX97220, which has more power for low impedance load but more distortion. It's absolutelly normal when pre-amp has better sound for use with hi-class external.

    xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend

    For example the internal digital filter of DSD1793 can be disabled and the DAC is then paired with the external DSP processor. Usually its presence determines the class of the device.

    May be Þekkr (Thekk) - "Welcome One", or "Desired"? Historically, this is one of Odin's alternative names again.

    Our partner is located in Shanghai. But customs clearance took place in Hong Kong. The weight of the cargo was matched to the packing list. Therefore, the headphones were stolen after customs clearance, i.e. either in Hong Kong, or in Shanghai, or on the way between them. Shipment was carried...

    Hi all This headphones use the same driver as Thror, but little differences in housing and damping. Grid not the final. It is just a first prototype of headphones for sound tuning. A final grids probably will have a T-design. The weight of this prototype is 395 grams. Headphones very flexible...

    Hi guys, hi Eric. THR001 - It's just a beta-sample (with final exterier) for testing and checkout a stability of new drivers.

    If this new parts not be too brittle, I will try to set them in Pale Moon Ebony, or another case in some b-stosk (they will sale like prototype). Unfortunately I could not to mold all grilles without little cosmetic defects (1-2 micro bubbles on surface). It's complicated handwork.

    "They" = I am Sound with carbon is good, but it will be already another sound. It will not be an Odin anymore))) So... Odin will stay Odin, and for another sound we creating Thror now. We not plan to change Odiin's sound signsture (so we will not change the driver materials), but we hope to...

    Because: 1) This element is part of a magnetic circuit and affects the sound. We do not want to change the sounding of Odin. 2) Carbon is more expensive than steel.
