    Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    I had this problem for a while. Check wifi settings or change wireless access points. I went from completely frustrated by problems to not having a single issue with it in the last few years.

    Fir Audio Radon 6 vs Elysian Annihilator

    Your description of wanting more treble is why I mentioned these. Many people say they have elevated treble. I have them and love them. I think the treble is superb. However, they didn't like all sources. There was too much treble with some of my sources. The iFi Go Bar and Topping DX9 work...

    Fir Audio Radon 6 vs Elysian Annihilator

    Have you thought about the Viking Ragnar? Pair it with something like the iFi Go Bar.

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    As someone who's heard both of these, how do these compare with the Ragnar? I've read a lot of Storm reviews and they all remind me of how I feel about the Ragnar. I'm tempted to seek out a demo of these or the Onyx or maybe try the MG5-EST. I just doubt the MG5-EST has the soundstage which is...

    They were talking RN6. I was just mentioning that it could be the source since I had a similar experience.

    The Viking Ragnar through the iBasso DC Elite also was a bright combo for me. The iFi GoBar has much better synergy with it. The Elite work better with the LCD-5, though.

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    If you can, make your way to a CanJam! I would never have bought another IEM than the KSE1200/Monarch MK2 if I hadn't heard the Radon6 or Noble Viking. The soundstage of the Viking just blew me away..though it has too much treble for many.

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    I've lurked here a looooong time. Posting in order of what I reach for, not sound quality. A couple of these have usability issues that mean I grab them less often than I would. 1. Viking Ragnar 2. LCDi4 3. KSE1200 4. U12t 5. Thieaudio Monarch Mk2. (these are only 5th because they overlap use...

    It's exactly that! It does both so well and images within the soundstage, too.

    Short time lurker, first time poster I went to CanJam Dallas in November and walked around listening to many things. I didn't really think I was gonna find anything that was gonna blow me away, but I just started sitting down at tables and "having a listen". Things that blew me away were the...

    LTA VELO - Headphone Amp / Preamp

    I ordered a Velo right after hearing one at Dallas Can Jam. I'm really looking forward to hearing it in my speaker setup and with some headphones. The wait is hard! I've grown too spoiled by Amazon.

    New Topping DX9 AK4499 - 100% Balanced??

    I ordered the DX9 last month and have been waiting on it. In the meantime Topping has released the D90 III Sabre DAC. They mention 3 different modes with one sounding like tube emulation. I wonder if it adds some 2nd order harmonics. Now I'm wondering if I should go that route instead.

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    I'm imagining going into a Tom Thumb and seeing the KSE1200 in the checkout line. LOL. Probably closer to the truth is that Japanese supermarkets have electronics sections.

    Astell&Kern Launches AK HC4 USB DAC

    Looks great! Is there any ability to equalize within the player itself? Would be nice to hook it up to a SteamDeck and still get the benefits of EQ.
