Yea all yggys are beautiful for sure, see if i had a speaker set up, I’d want an OG case front and center lol i like the idea of the yggy+ when i look at my poor little desk lol

I was thinking about waiting to see what’s up with the Gumby 2 as it has the same dimensions as the MJ3, but for that price i could also snatch a used yggy. The yggy is just so huge, if i were to come across a used yggy+ id jump, no question lol but it’d have to be a black unit (OCD lol).

So far just the OG and 2/64…of the two i prefer the 2/64 by quite a bit. The MJ3 is so transparent that i was able to hear the differences between the 2 pretty easily. The 2/64 is simply more balanced, more correct if you will. The OG is more forward and sounds slightly congested in comparison...

Maybe something happened during shipping. Another thing, it’s fairly easy to remove the shell casing to have a look inside to see if anything seems off. Just pull the volume wheel off and remove the washer behind it. From there you can just slide the shell right off, it’ll take a good thump to...

have you tried switching your headphone jacks to confirm whether or not it’s the headphone?

Great to do business with, no issues what so ever, just a very smooth transaction. Great member of the head-fi community.

Not sure if you mentioned this already, but can you hear any differences between the 281 and the reissue?

Which headphones are you using? I doubt it’s the Pontus

The MJ3’s power supply is overbuilt and picky i see, the building i live in was built about 5 years ago so i imagine there’s some sort of power filtering going on because i get zero noise and no vibration from my MJ3. When i hear of people using dc blockers and things of that nature i just think...

Great question

Doesn’t sound too good, my MJ3 is very quiet actually…i can’t hear the buzz or vibrations that people speak of…i can hear it faintly if i put my ear to the chassis

Great seller, great dac, GLWS my friend.

Looks like they were made for each other, atrium will be my next set

Yea i do the same with Roon, but as you said it’s a feature that should be implemented more often. Digital is getting better but such changes always sound better at the analog stage.

Yea 18k is where i tap out at, strangely i've been hearing a tad bit better in one ear than the other...that cant be good lol sometimes it bugs me sometimes it doesnt. I may have to see and ENT specialist about possible wax deep in the canal, if thats not the problem i may have to look into an...

Been enjoying my MJ3 but I’ve also been wanting to get my hands on a 281 to see what the hype is about, so feel free to reach out if you’ve been thinking about selling one. I am in the NYC area if that helps.

I experimented with both directions, also, i ultimately decided not to use a fan as for whatever reason i just wasn’t crazy about the way it sounded when running cool. YMMV Another thing, if your going to run the airflow inwards, I’d be prepared to open it and air dust occasionally because I’d...

Yea psy is definitely out to get you slack lol get that wallet ready!

Oh they will

Very good point

Yea once the M-field comes out i think it’ll be the amp that gets compared more to MJ3. Mentor is tuned differently, good news is that people have the mentor beating the Vio V550 which is tuned similarly at about double the price, that’s big. My MJ3 is sounding warmer to my ears these days, i...

The thing is, the mentor isn’t an answer for MJ3 and Vice Versa. However, Flux seems to have an answer with the M-Field. We compare the mentor and MJ3 only because they co-exist and price to performance, but they seem to be 2 completely different approaches. This hobby will do it though, we have...

Certainly no slandering slack, no one has yet to say that they flat out don’t like the mentor lol funny thing is that regarding both amps I’ve only seen this one guy say he didn’t like the MJ3 actually (although i wasn’t a comparative opinion, just straight up MJ3 stuff) lol but this is all...

I have, and i love it…i was worried about it being a bit bright for my Arya organic as its my first time experimenting with silver but it’s actually perfect, very well balanced and feels excellent

Yea he also mentions it showing up in tests and measurements, i also believe your experience with the mentor. It’s just interesting to see.
