True, I hope yours always continues to work and if not I suspect Chord have lost a customer. This continuing disregard for customers must be damaging Chord, but as long as they are selling stuff everything is good. I hope you are reading this Chord.

Are you happy with the ie900? I have the Moondrop Variations and my opinion is it doesn't beat the ie900 at all, to me it sounds like its trying too hard, the ie900 just knows what it is and simply gets on with the job of delivering the best possible sound effortlessly. Of course all of the...

Chord changed the servers to save money, clearly it didn't work but they are saving money so objective achieved. Just another way to annoy customers, I expect support know exactly what the issue is, will they go back to the original server, no, so support are now stuck in the middle of the...

It would but it will never happen. Those two don't have support in any apps. There is a tiny chance for Qobuz or Tidal though which I'd settle for. Personally I can't see any major new features, I'd happily eat my hat if it happens. :)

I tested the Azla SednaEarfit ORIGIN tips, I got the "M" size. They fit the nozzle of the IE900 and stay put both on the nozzle and don't slip out of my ears. Comfort for me was great I barely know I have IEM's in my ears. I got a good seal and sound quality was good too. If it wasn't for the...

It happens. In GoFigure "Refresh Current SD Card Database" and in Rigelian "Update DB" if that doesn't fix it try deleting the files in the root of the SD card and build the databases again. If that doesn't fix it copy all your music off the card, reformat it and put the files back a few at a...

That isn't a problem the extra 8 bits are simply padded with zeros.

I've ordered some AZLA SednaEarfit Origin tips, should be with me tomorrow, I'll update with my comments when I've tried them.

For Tidal you could install USB Audio Player Pro and add your account info into the Tidal streaming section. Offline playback isn't available but it should stream OK. Perhaps try before you buy as I don't use Tidal with UAPP so I have no idea if it will actually work. Apple Music, nope that one...

Plenty of portable devices are more than good enough to drive most full size headphones. Would you consider the Focal Stellia a full-size headphone, it certainly has a full-size price and can even be driven from a smartphone, assuming it has a headphone socket of course. :wink:

I've never tried it before as I only recently switched to Apple from Android but I just did and yes charging and playback at the same time is possible.

What are you talking about, I use mine as a portable device all the time. Stick an SD card in Poly and its a perfectly usable non-streaming DAP with separate screen, your phone. I once got into a discussion with someone here on Head-Fi that wouldn't accept that the Poly/Mojo combo is a DAP...

You guys must have awesome ears, to hear a difference, I can't find any measurements for the DC Elite but I expect it to be flat +/- 0.2dB. I found a frequency response graph for the R6 (not 2nd Gen), as expected, without EQ its basically flat from 0Hz to 20kHz. Perhaps I'm a flat-source'r. :)

Its possible but I doubt anyone has ever tried it.

Boomy bass is sort of the point with tracks like that, honestly I'd suggest turning the volume down a bit it sounds perfect to me at my listening levels 65-75dB, if you are pushing the volume much above that then a bass heavy track with an IEM like the MMKIII will start to sound a bit over...
