I've never heard sibilance on mine, but they are an early serial number. Maybe they've changed them since then? I get sibilance on the DT990 pro, but not these...

I did not create this listing. Maybe my account was hacked?

Fraudulent listing!! Hacked account!

Bad tube maybe?

I like the Aiyima DAC-A2. The headphone jack is a bit too loose on mine, however. I always use EQ (bass head) and the tone controls are perfect for me. They also effect the RCA outs on the back. Because it defeats the RCAs when the hf jack is plugged, and I leave my headphones plugged in all of...

Good to hear! It was just a guess...

Yeah, it's the only way to adjust volume, unfortunately. It would be nice if the next version of the Sanskrit would have buttons and would not rely only on a remote. Replacing the remote would be my next step.

Maybe press the C button twice to disable and re-enable the remote? What about changing the batteries?

That pretty much describes the 58x, I think.

W shaped means to me that there are dips in the mid bass and upper mids. It's a V shape with a potentially nasal sounding peak in the mids.

A small difference listening carefully. One thing I remember is an acoustic guitar having a bit more roundness and body on the Sanskrit, but also being slightly less in focus and fuzzier. I would get either depending on form factor since they're close enough.

I could hear the difference in the demo, and it's consistent with the comments. The Sanskrit sounds a touch warmer and less controlled, and the E30 slightly the opposite.
