Was it a kind of buzz? I'm asking because I got this in Deva and then in XS both after about a year and ordered a replacement from the seller

If I am not mixing up anything - there's some kind of recovery boot if you press power button with see PS below skip button closest to volume knob (mine is FF, but you could configured it the other way), OR pressing power button with volume up. This get's you to recovery screen and there you...

Hi guys! Has anyone seen a CSD plots of XS? Update: found some here

Same here, so good that I consider it as an endgame for me, don't even want to look for anything else.

Yes definitely. I thought that maybe 8ex will not be enough for LCD-x to keep it's fantastic dynamics, but no - it runs just perfect.

Just hopped in to say that I recently switched from edition XS to LCD-X and wanted to say that the amp8EX is killing it, I don't think I really need anything anymore. This is so awesome!

Thanks, I've already did the same yesterday -used metal plate as a guide. Decided not to cut the strap to see how it works first and seems it works fine. Added 1 click on the yokes from each side, no hotspot, about 8mm between the steel and strap, don't think the strap will stretch so much in...

Nope, the best one that worked for me were ibasso IT-03, but as I said after moving to open backs I really lost any interest in in-ears.

Just for the record - after countless models and constant tip-swapping the issue with pressure built-up in canal annoyed me so much in the end that I've moved from IEMS to full-sized open backs at home and a simple full-sized noise cancelling pair for traveling. Never again I'll stick that...

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that it seems that shorter straps are not available from them anymore - I've contacted Audeze to have one and they responded: Just received a reply, we had shorter straps available for a brief period around 2021, but they are no longer available, and we...

In fact after I've changed the pads back to stock ones, I decided to keep dekonies for future. Maybe Arya and Edition XS just oversaturated my brain and later I'll check dekonies again (after all it's always good to have an alternative) :) Yep, sure. I mean that I so liked the sound that...

So I've collected my thoughts about the Dekoni fenestrated pads (I've been listening to them for almost 2 days) and decided to sell them. Firstly - they do exactly what the graph shows, but for my perception with a stronger effect, much stronger than I would like - they reduce the low end, also...

Thanks for that, mine will arrive tomorrow - will try them while waiting the solution for different stock ones. My main concern is that the graph on dekoni website suggests that these cups will make LCD-X sound closer to Hifiman Arya\XS which I just went from. So far stock leather pads sound of...

Yep I know, thanks for info - I'm not making the pressure inside the cups - I keep them open on the other side with my pinky inside.

Same here : ) For me it's vice versa - I had hard time cooling upper frequencies and ended up using parametric 100% of time with XS. With LCD-x'21 Ive been listening to my library for a day just on bit perfect and never wanted to touch anything. I guess I've simply just found my sound, while...

Anyone else got different pads with their unit? : ) I thought that one side felt a bit softer, and now I'm sure) One pad is softer than another so it feels disbalanced on the head. Anyone lucky? )

I'm thinking about Dekoni fenestrated pads -but more to lessen that vacuum effect in the cups (also they could appear to be cooler. It seems to me that after getting hot in stock leather pads my ears start to cool down, but yes, initial warm-up is still there). I don't know (or at least I didn't...

Well, guys, it's been a great trip, but now I'm leaving from edition XS to LCD-X. All the best and thanks for an awesome experience, you showed me a lot, I liked a lot, thanks to Hifiman for a great job really!

Here's the measurements of my unit for statistics (if any)

I'm in. **ing made it - new LCD-X 21 is on my head right now.

That plate looks amazing. Does it count as void warranty?

Yep my main concern along with how hot (temperature) they might be with leather pads for several hours, been 3 times in the shop and sitting for 40+ minutes in them, so far looks doable. Also it seemed to me that after 30 minutes my ears became cooler (no pun intended)) - either because leather...

I've found XS to be like cheaper version of Arya from all sides (doesn't mean that XS are bad). So signature - wise it is the same but darn refined in every way, so if you like this sound overall - Arya is a great choice. I've been looking at it as an end game for me for quite a time, but since...

So after a month the seller replaced my XS for a new one. I can confirm that clamp force is either tighter, I stretched my first pair in 7 months or my head grown bigger : ). Both times the phones were not from first batch with nice black boxes - just simple cardboard ones.

Can someone please share the scheme how I could properly solder 4 pin female xlrs to the balanced cable? I have 2,5 trrs to 2 3,5 trs jacks (been using this with edition XS) and would like to make the cable for lcd-x from it
