Ahh ok, sounds like minidsp is the solution for me then. Thank you!!

Hello! I have a question. Can I connect a CD transport via coax into the A6, apply the DSP that the A6 has built in to it, then output to an external DAC via USB?

The best chain I’ve heard yet: Leak CDT > Gustard R36 > Feliks Envy > Susvara Willow: Empathogen

More fun. One of the Melz 1578s I just received 2 days ago, NOS, died. Just a very loud, low pitched tone through one channel. Ahh, this is going so well 😂 back to the PSVanes for now.

Ahh yes forgot to mention, I’ve used a combination of power conditioners and DC Offset Eliminators. I have an Emotiva CMX2, a HumX, and a Furman power conditioner. I also tried using Pangea power cables just in case. No difference using any combination of those items. I tried different outlets...

Tested both with input and no input. I haven’t tried shorting caps, I do have a pair I’ll try that.

Hum at all gain levels FYI. As a recap: Hum with the following headphones tested on low gain: Meze Elite, ZMF Atrium, Hifiman HE1000 V2 Stealth. More significant hum with all headphones on medium gain that is audible while listening to music, except for a pair of Susvaras which has no audible...

Oh, my vendor, hi :sweat_smile: I appreciate you trying to put work in to figure it out, it's been about a week and a half now. I'm sure you've been busy with other things too, no problem. I love the amp in a lot of ways, if there's a way we can figure this out that would be great but... As I...

Yeah it was purchased new.

More bad news for me unfortunately. This weekend I noticed a pretty severe channel imbalance. The right channel is louder than the left. I tried swapping my Melz 1578 and WE300b tubes back to the stock PSVane and Full Music tubes, no difference. I tried swapping left and right tubes, still no...

I'll have to respectfully disagree <3. I own both the Meze Elite and the Susvara and I think they sound relatively similar. I know this is a bit of an old thread but none of the other replies I felt lined up with my experience so I hope this helps someone! I am using both of the headphones...

Ok, thank you I’ll definitely give them some time. As far as the hum, the retailer I purchased them from seems to think that the hum is inevitable. Here was their response:

The WE300b arrived today. Unfortunately they only gave a very slight reduction in the hum. At least it’s something, but still quite audible on medium gain even when music is playing. Side note: I feel like the WE300b is quite harsh in the treble. I’m not sure if I like it. The Full Music was...

Would you say that they could be fatiguing? Or is it a good combination of detail while not being too harsh?

Oh I haven’t tried the hybrid pads but I did order some, I’ll have to give it a try! Removing the mesh does increase the treble but at least for me not in a way that’s too bright.

I think I finally found my favorite config for Atrium. Remove the titan mesh entirely, with the Auteur Perforated Lambskin pads. I found the Atrium to have harsh upper mids that were fatiguing at first but removing the stock radial mesh really balanced the frequency response out and now they...

Primare CD32 -> Primare i32 -> Felix Envy -> Meze Elite I’m listening to RHCP Stadium Arcadium! Not something I usually listen to but sometimes I miss LA (Born and raised, and I lived there for 30 years) and feel nostalgic. They sound like palm trees to me, and I really miss palm trees right...

Just bought WE300B and a better power cord. Fingers crossed! At least on low gain the hum is almost inaudible and I can enjoy the amp while troubleshooting.

I figured out a new thing! If I touch the driver tubes with my hand (with a microfiber cloth between my hand and the tube) the humming gets louder. The right driver tube does this significantly more than the left one. Bad driver tube maybe? There is no difference when I touch the power tubes. I...

If you had to choose one, either the driver tubes or the power tubes to potentially help resolve a hum issue, which do you think would be most likely to fix it?

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I currently don’t have any extra tubes that would work with the amp. Although for the price, I would expect that the included tubes would at least work fine and that tube rolling wouldn’t be a requirement. I have contacted the store I purchased the...

Oh what tubes did you go with? Maybe I can give them a try. Was it the Elrogs that fixed your issue?

Hi everyone, I’m now an owner of a Feliks Envy Performance! Woo 😊 I’m unfortunately having an issue though with hum. I have a pair of ZMF Atrium headphones which have an impedance of 300 ohms, so it looks like medium gain is recommended. However, on medium gain I have a low 60hz hum that is...

Ahh… I remember reading this review (Day 1) a few weeks ago thinking “I’d be willing to be he just hasn’t found the right ear tips yet” especially since this was your first experience with IEMs. They just have a learning curve compared to headphones. It takes me a good week or so to “figure out”...

Hi! Resurrecting a thread from about 6 months ago but I can contribute to this discussion because I have both the U4S and the U12T. They are both similar. The U12T is more detailed, and has a wider sound stage. I wouldn't say it's a significant difference, but it's definitely there. I actually...
