Oratory RME settings for ether 2. But I can turn them off and it's not a significant difference in volume.

Well I can't pass the bit tests which is seemingly a PC issue and not an RME issue so where do I even start with that? Also/or, is Auto-Ref Level screwy? -40 on that = -25 with it off and low power. Edit: Moved USB ports and fiddled around in foobar some more and it passes now. But the...

Is this configurable? I can hear it kick on at -40db which is normal-ish volume on my cans, and it isn't exactly positive (depending on track).

Well, a month to go. I'm still good to a hair over 17k. Which yikes, I could still hit maybe 19ish less than a year ago. :X

Found this later last night after searching. Difference seems generally irrelevant. The small rise past 15k on ESS curious though.

Is this essentially an upgraded FSR while lacking AD? AKM?

You think they might keep the model but revert to AKM chips? Seems a hair odd they're trying to blow out inventory on this thing.

Nuts. This is confirmed?

So seems AKM has resumed production, but deprecated all past chips for what for the most part appear to be incremental enhancements other than maybe their totl. Anyway, hopes for a v3 soon?

These are replacement new or refurbished? When did you receive the warranty replacement and about how much listening time is on them?

Typically what happens around here is the quick on/offs. This time it was off for at least 20s, maybe a couple minutes tho? And it went out twice. After it went off the second time I had the presence of mind to power everything off. It does seem like it takes the caps a long time to deplete...

House power. Wind storm.

Does Lyr3 not have a startup/shutdown relay mute? I lost power and fried my Fidelios. Relieved the AFOs weren't plugged in. Edit: Well this is disconcertingly timely, just read back two pages and see people talking about this. So if there is a protection relay, what happened?

I get a hum when I touch my Lyr3, but didn't have this issue on my Jot. It's kind of annoying, but my house was built in the 60s and I know the wiring is a bit goofy. I think I have to file this under the old joke: "Doc, it hurts when I touch my knee!" "Then stop touching it!"

Wow these Comets are impressive, and I'm just out of the crappy laptop jack so far (haven't installed Jot DAC). Great bass response, good detail.
