Sorry to ask what might be a question that has been addressed previously, but I would like to know if the Pro iDSD is capable of natively streaming Tidal MQA titles. And if if can, is the quality similar to what one would get feeding via usb and an app on a PC to the iDSD? Thanks in advance...

I have been looking for a DAC to pair with a Sennheiser HDVA600. I want to stream Tidal MQA. I’ve looked online at the Teac NT-505, ifi DSD Pro, and Matrix Audio Element X. These all seem to have every feature I need and perhaps more. But I would appreciate any suggestions. The Teac is...

I saw the HM1000 in a display case, requested detailed spec, which they will send soon. Release is January at 29,800 CNY(about $4250usd).

Sure the Campfire are great, but I like the ie800s sound very much. More than my se846. Been comparing them all day and I find the ie800S just sounds more open and natural than the se846. Still think the se846 are incredible iems, too.

They are made in Germany. But I bought them in China from Amazon. Judging from the packaging, ear pieces, and sound, they are not fake. But the 4.4mm cable being a few inches longer spooked me. ;)

I found the answer. It is .1 meter longer. Found the length in the owners manual of all places.... ;)

May be an odd question, but can an ie800S owner let me know if the balanced cable is a few inches longer than the 3.5mm cable? Bought a pair in China and everything seems fine, but I’m paranoid.

In China for sale second hand. Everything about the iem is identical except the extra wire and a tiny bit of extra solder. I am guessing it has been repaired, possibly even by Shure. That fourth wire is making a connection that I believe was originally a flat ribbon connection. Perhaps when...

Yours seems to have three, like my pair. Notice the one in the photo I attached has four.

Has anyone seen an SE846 with an extra red wire in the earpiece? Look authentic, but seems to have been repaired or modified.

Thank you. I was just returning to the thread to clarify I am connecting to a HDVA600 with its own volume control. I think you assumed that I meant to indicate an amp with its own volume and answered my question. Thanks again.

If I use the Essence One Muse as a source to an amp via the XLR outputs, how high should I set the volume on the Muse to get the best sound?

I don't think he is going to price to the rich, but I am sure he is not going to sell them at anything anyone would consider cheap, why should he? I keep hearing $2999. I wish it could be less, but no reason it should be. If it is anywhere near as good as nearly everyone has said, then why not...

That is changing very fast. Watches, handbags, and anything like vitamins, foods , and medicine, yes, they prefer foreign. Hifi not as much. The Bose preference is the same as with many rich in the USA, they just don't know better and buy based on an advertisement or due to the small size. But...
