    Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR

    Perhaps, but I can't really do anything about that now. Just looking to get my device back, it's been 2 months, and I can't use the timekeepers either without the soloist

    Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR

    General Advice needed: Sorry for mentioning this subject again, but just need some input on what (if anything) I can do next: I purchased Soloist 3XGT (from dealer in Canada) and timekeepers 3xgt (feb 2023) - registered warranty on Burson website, and purchased with credit card which extends...

    Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR

    Oh I agree! It's just frustrating because I don't even have a timeline yet. If they say, really sorry, but it'll take 4-5 weeks, ok, that sucks, but at least its information. For now, its radio silence. And their "guy" in California, there is no contact info for him. The mailing label was for a...

    Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR

    Maybe you are correct. I'm somewhat regretting dealing with Burson at all, Soloist 3xGT gone for 2 months, I emailed again today, no ETA, just a thank you for your patience. at this point, I wish I hadn't purchased the soloist or the timekeepers (as without the soloist they are just sitting...

    Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR

    Definitely speak to Burson. My soloist 3xGT is currently in for repair, and communications has been spotty at best. I think there's a Charles who seems to respond more frequently, but its been 2 months since my amp stopped working, and I currently don't even have an ETA for the return. It's...

    AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE

    I also have a 4.4mm to 4pinXLR adapter that I use for my iems when connecting to Burson Soloist 3xgt. I was wondering if the fact that the included stock cable 4.4mm only has one 2.5mm connector, if that should still work with the 4.4mm to 4pinXLR adapter? (would a dual 2.5mm to 4pinXLR be an...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    I had this problem initially with the Gustard r26 dac as it has a built in streamer as well. That’s why I ended up using the usb route with that dac vs lan. Im in a small apartment so no mesh access points. I have a router with my cable company. Mac mini attached via wired to router. Hdd...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    What is the best strategy for adding extra storage? External hdd connected by usb or the nvme ssd internally? About $150 cad for 4tb western digital external hdd vs $310cad for crucial 4tb ssd. If going with hdd route: I’m assuming better for the hdd to be externally powered vs drawing from...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    UPDATE: It was indeed a faulty unit. Received my replacement DMP-A8 today, and works 100% with all file formats. Must have been something faulty with the previous unit.

    On the plus side, it looks like there is now free international shipping ($15USD value). I guess that makes up for the discount codes not working anymore..

    AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE

    I know this might be a silly question, but what would you expect this headphone to be comparable with? My current lineup is HD800s, HE1000SE Would people say its closer to HD600 , XS edition, in terms of sound? Obviously this would be a blind buy, but just curious what would be the competitors...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    To my knowledge, you can set that when using usb out to external dac. But I’m using the internal dac so these settings aren’t available to edit. I’ve gone through every setting there is, and using internal storage so there’s basically no setting left to change :(

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    Honestly at this point, I suspect its a faulty unit. Dealer is shipping a replacement on Monday Wire connections from A8 to poweramp - tried both XLR and RCA poweramp has no settings - monoblocs burson timkepeers using internal a8 dac and streamer since playing all other pcm formats - settings...

    Eversolo DMP-A8 Streamer, DAP, DAC and Preamp

    Just got my hands on the A8 and am having a weird issue. I set it up over WIFI (no other inputs), and play from my shared SMB drive on my network. Everything works, playing FLAC, streaming QOBUZ, but when I try to play any DSD files (DSD, ISO, DSF, DFF, etc..), it looks like its playing, but no...

    Burson Soloist 3X Grand Tourer Head Amp/Pre Amp w/Sub out - 10W XLR

    Been having an issue with my Soloist 3X GT (not the 2023 model with the silent power modules) Been working fine since I got it last year, but now, I hear a faint but very noticeable static like sound that varies with amplitude on the right channel. I was advised by the vendor I purchased it...

    Burson Soloist 3X Performance Head/Pre Amp - 8Wpc XLR with MUSE72320 volume control

    Hi all, question regarding an issue I’m having with the soloist 3xgt. Recently, in the right channel when listening through the xlr headphone out, I hear like a static like noise that varies with amplitude louder and quieter. Tried various headphones and cables, didn’t make a difference. Tried...

    I have the R26 with the soloist 3xgt. I find it a very solid match. Although no power amp mode in 3xgt.

    Shanling H5 - Portable DAC/AMP/Player, AKM AK4493S DACs and sweet warm tuning

    Actually I found the experience to be the opposite. If I adjust the volume to a safe level, then plug my headphones in, I was unaware of the change, so it was at a super high level.

    Shanling H5 - Portable DAC/AMP/Player, AKM AK4493S DACs and sweet warm tuning

    Nice write up! For me my biggest complaints are: 1) incompatibility with Apple TV bluetooth 2) edict player doesn’t recognize iso files Also curious about the volume on the device. If I turn on the device without headphones plugged in, it’ll show whatever volume. But when I plug the headphones...

    Agreed. I think I remember it even being mentioned in the h5 manual not to use while charging.
