I'm the original owner purchased from Schiit Audio in January 2021. Reason for selling: DACs rolling :) Priced to sell. I will cover both PayPal and shipping fees. Mint condition. Thanks for looking.

Lampiztor The Big 7 MK2 SE (single-ended) with Volume Control. The unit was built in September 2021. I'm the second owner purchased here online in January 2022. The total play time was less than 100 hours from both owners. Reason for selling: a great sounding DAC but I'm not ready to settle...

SOLD. I purchased this amp new from Schiit in January 2021 but it kept delayed shipment. I cannot wait any longer so I purchased a tube amp in April. It decided to show up at my door in May. Good timing Schiit and on my part as well. I happened to enjoy the tube amp with my setup a lot more and...

Hello, Cleaning some of my inventory. I'll try to describe to my best knowledge. Please let me know if you need additional pictures or have any question. Thank you for watching. SOLD A&K SP2000 stainless steel. Everything included in factory box as well as 512 SanDisk micro SD. Purchased new...

@Maxx134, 1.20 is warm and this is what I need. I've been to 3.0 and it starts to sound more like my other dap (sp2k and lpgt). If I got only 1 dap, I would definitely choose 1z and stay with the new software. First of all, thank you to all replies of my help. Bought 1z when it first came out...

Hi all. My 1z doesn't recognize 512gb or 1tb card. It works fine with 256gb. Tested all three cards with my other daps without any issue. Still using 1.20 fw. Do I need to update to new fw in order to use the 1tb card? Any suggestion or advice of how to fix this? Thanks.

Your top iems, for now lol

Hi, still on the quest to find which amp I should get - bhse, gg, or carbon. Reading your post, you like ss because of low maintenance with no extra cost associated, while tubes are the opposite. Since we stuck with ss sound forever, only option left is to tweak sound with cables? You went...

Sound very good - open and airy. Neutral to warm tonality. Very detail. Good right bass. The he1000se is not that easy to drive. Volume 125/150 and I listen at medium. Jalo's got old ears so he always turn everything max. Not sure which camp you're falling in. Jalo can give you a better...

It sure got enough power for iems. Any iems on the market currently I believe. Ier-z1r is considered hard to drive for iems but it's still an iem. Lol. Then you got nothing left to lose for not trying and keep on your journey. You almost there. So close... lol

Most of the stuffs on HF are overrated anyway :). I was thinking of what to write for my impression since I don't post often. Here is my 2cent as promised. My gears that I brought to the shop/meet are sony wm1z and lpg diana edition for daps for comparison. Testing on my own hifiman he1000se...

Awesome Jason. I didn't know about this store until you mentioned and I lived in Vegas like forever. I'll definitely be there to test out the sp2k ss vs cu tomorrow, and decide which one I should order and give my 2 cent here. The owner thanked you for the announcement. Anyone has suggestion I...

Amp output for the A&K Kann Cube is 12vrms vs Woo Audio WA11 at 30 ohms into 1.2 watts. Which one got more power? Thanks for answering.

@KB We don not hear the Cascade as boomy, the bass is prominent but we went to extraordinary lengths to make sure the low freq was very tight, and we feel we did a good job here. Yes I like electronic music, hip hop, rock and EDM and the Cascade excells at such. I hope people can come to the...

@khighly it seems like you had problem with the it03 due to fit/seal issues. yes, it03 is not for everyone with its semi custom design. if that's the case, then no matter how good or expensive the iem could be, it will sound sux and you won't like it. that's very normal. for $250 iem, actually...

I just want to give my 2c regarding the it03. The Campfire Vega is my go to iem 99% of the time out of all my iems. when I bought the it03, heard it for 5 mins and throw it back to the box, maybe twice or so. never bother with it. suck. can't beat my beloved Vega. A year pass, the it03 still...

Thanks for inputs Tony. That link belong to Grizzlybeast, I think and I read many times already. I'm still cannot come up with a conclusion for the sound of the Holo. I got an idea for the sound of Pavane (my type of sound) and an idea for Yggy (stay away from this). Hopefully some of you...

Now you're back, he's probably be back as well ;). What's the difference between level 1, 2, and 3 in term of sound? Everything is about the same such as sound but clarity and transparency increase as you move up level or everything is better? Similar to the Holo Spring DAC as you move up level...

WA8 is my first tube amp and I would to play around with tubes. So very likely we have to depend on Woo if we want to roll tubes since the tubes are soldered into the circuit board? Also, if we change tubes for the WA8, would it make small/big change in sound say compare to the bigger tube amp...

So the qutest isn't design for headphone in this case so what is it for, speakers? Also I kept hearing external amp degrade transparency of the dac, especially chord dac. the qutest can't do anything without an amp so in the end, I still need an amp, isn't it? Thank you to anyone for inputs.

Those tiny tubes in the WA8 go over $1,000 each?

Yes, I would like to know to. What are some of the best tubes one could give to the wa8? reason I ask is I know it will never cost $1k for a bulb :)

In few things - maybe something wrong with your wa8, or something wrong with that CD, or something wrong with your ears. Not normal for max volume unless pair with hard drive cans.

​Any idea or approximate when it hits the US soil? I had family lived in China and Japan. I could ask them to buy and ship over here for me but if the X5 is coming to the US soon, then I don't want to bother them.

​Yeah do a comparison between the two that would be great. One thing with the X5-3 is that it got all touch screen and can't do the rubber band like the X5-2. What's the solution for this, tape? Lame!
