German MAESTRO - Impressions Thread
I have done the same mod on my 8.35 a year or so ago. I used these https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-x-3-5mm-Mini-Stereo-Jack-Chassis-Panel-Mount-Headphone-Input-Socket-Connector/351607508978?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 The driver is just pressed in the cup with no...- Arvan

Roll Call for Team AKG
My K500 sounds much thinner with the somewhat worn out stock pads. Now i run the pads from the Q701 and i feel that that's how they probably would sound when new. The lowend seems properly tuned with the 701 pads and way to lean with the old stock pads.- Arvan

Roll Call for Team AKG
Well the K260 is a very good headphone but it's fallen under the radar and it has some quirks. First off it sounds nothing like the K240M Well the K240M and the K260 sounds very different. K240 has that vintage classic warmth, relaxed sound with a fantastic mid range. The k260 is much more...- Arvan

Roll Call for Team AKG
I got a pair of k340s couple of months ago. It was my unicorn vintage AKG and the one I thought was the hardest to find. It's in mint condition more or less. It really is impressive blending both the warmth and bass from the k240m but with added sparkle and detail up top. But it is a heavy...- Arvan

Korg MOBILE 1BIT USB-DAC DS-DAC-100m
I don't use an iphone so i can't test it. But I don't think it works since you need korgs own driver.- Arvan

[FiiO FA1] Single Balanced Armature In-Ear Monitors, Knowles Customized BA Driver, DLP 3D Printing Technology,Detachable MMCX Cable
Got my pair today with the fiio M3k and i must say that the FA1 is wonderful but you have to like the signature which is fast, detailed and neutral. If that signature is something you want this really is a killer iem for 100 bucks. Build and comfort is really good!- Arvan

Korg MOBILE 1BIT USB-DAC DS-DAC-100m
To be fair, Korg never marketed this device to work with a phone. But i agree with you..The proprietary driver is crap.- Arvan

Pictures of Your *Budget-Fi* Portable Rig (< $200)
Not bassy at all..The first gen DNA pro is rather neutral and detailed sounding to be honest. No bluetooth.- Arvan

Roll Call for Team AKG
I have always enjoyed the AKG house sound. My first serious headphones were a pair of K242HD and since then i have collected a few more. K141, k240M and the k260 are the ones i have from the good ole 600 ohm era. I also have a set of Q701. I have tried beyers, senns and other brands but there is...- Arvan

Review by 'Arvan' on item 'Burson Audio Supreme Sound Opamp V5i'
The v5i was provided by Burson for an honest review. I have rolled some opamps before in various amplifiers. Although i think i hear a slight difference between each of them, its really hard to tell exactly what is improved or what got worse. My thoughs on rolling opamps is that you cant...- Arvan
