Standard term in Germany. Probably got left in there, when it was translated.

I was wrong, this seems only to apply to the mini. There is a warning on page 23 of the manual: https://spl.info/fileadmin/user_upload/anleitungen/english/PhonitorMini_EN.pdf

  You probably know this and I fear you may be offended by me asking this. Please interpret this a general advice for all others, who follow this thread.   Did you mute it before inserting the plug? The Phonitors do not have a switch for turning off the amp in the jack. Therefore inserting...

Some of this seems to contradict the 'Wood Info' section on the Omni's shop page. E.g., Bubinga is listed as having medium/large pores on the latter, while it is refered to as having small pores in former. Generally speaking, a finer scale for pores would be welcome. Probably there is no good...

  Running the Red on Arch Linux without a problem. The Dragonfly DACs are USB audio class compliant. Therefore all Linux distributions will support, atleast if the kernel isn't very old.

Even after body growth stops, ears change. Mainly due to gravity. Possibly CIEMs will also stretch them a little. Not sure if any of this will affect the seal.

AFAIK the required feature(class compliant usb audio) is present in Vanilla Android. The problem are manufacturers who turn it off because they do not want to support it. UAPP works because they have their own driver in userland. A global driver could only be installed on rooted phones. A...

@WhiteNoises There may be no night and day differences but often if you hear more details one on piece of equipment you will hear it also on the other. Just because your mind knows it is there. Have you tried first listening to the iPad and then the Dragon Fly? Of course this way you will hear...

Do you have a source for the opamp statement? What would be the benefit of only eliminating them from the output and not the complete design? http://www.violectric.de/produktdetails/HPA_V280.html states that there are opamps in the signal path.

Customer service industry sounds horrible. At least for customers. If that is what you do for a living, you may have noticed that there are different people, each having their own opinion what would be nice.

Nothing is for free. Why would Audioquest or Sonic Studio give away their products for free? Or why would Cavalli Audio buy them and give them away for free?

Not every penny counts, but I dislike paying for stuff I will or can not use. Feels like a choice is taken away from me. Probably I would have less of a problem if it were just the amp for $800. So why not buy it then? I hope that by voicing my opinion, I can change future offers to the better...

In consumer market only little standalone DAPs are sol anymore. Most people use their phones. This is also due to the rise of streaming services, you can not use on a DAP. With my previous phone I would probably have bought a DAP but now that I got a large battery, I can use my phone with the...

Did not gather that the price was already determined a year ago. If that's the case, I wonder how the extras were squeezed in. Probably pricing wasn't fixed after all. I would rather like free shipping than all of them combined.   I read the impressions thread which is why I will probably buy...

While doing more than one thing at the same time is hard for humans, they still can train to do some tasks simultaneously. At least specific tasks. There are people who can read two books at the same time and get the content of both. A more common thing is probably musicians that play an...

This is a hard week. I have to decide wether I want to buy this amp or not. Speaking against it are essentially the bonuses. I feel they could have made it cost less by not adding them. Sure its probably a good deal but no one can tell me their costs are not reflected in the overall price. As...

Yesterday I made some comparisons between my headphone out and the Red. Note, that the phone used is a Xiaomi Redmi 3 so when comparing RRP, ignoring import fees and shipping costs for the phone, the dragonfly costs the double of the transport used.     I got out the Shure SRH 840 I once...

I have a Dragonfly Red. Even though it should be a little more effcient than the Black, Ampere also reports a difference of around 50mAh. This is measured between playing music from the headphone out and from the Dragonfly Red. However the Ampere app does not to seem very exact.   Luckily my...

I ordered the EI.XX from the last drop. The preorder pricing for the Harmony 8.2 somehow taints the anticipiation =/
