Thanks Yes the Sennheiser looks to have some potential though I must say I wasn't a fan of the original or later iterations of the Momentum sound signature... Yes I turned of ANC/ambient which improves a bit but still have the right channel drop off a bit too much than I can completely look...

I have been using the WF1000x since launch but am back in the market looking for something better. It was an impulse buy at an airport when it was first launch and WF1000x was the first true wireless with a SQ than I find marginally acceptable. A lot of resolution and clarity (AAC mode) with...

I have Hugo and mojo but why I feel like I HAVE TO HAVE THIS NOOOOOOW!? February is too far away!

I agree 100%. I had been using my Hugo in my 2channel system until it stopped working yesterday... I swapped in my Mojo and noticed a less transparent sound and poorer imaging and soundstage (as in the placement of instruments became less articulated). It is still a very pleasant sound and...

Finally they are back! Before: After: Has just a few hours with the A8 and for those V6S and V8 owners who where on the fence for the upgrade, JUST DO IT! I can immediately tell it is well worth the price to upgrade maybe 15 seconds into my first track with the A8. Cheers

hey guys need your help... I'm done holding onto my wallet and ready to make the jump from Hugo to DAVE.  Unfortunately I had a less than wonderful experience with ordering from the local dealer (which I understand is just starting to carry Chord but their parents don't seem to think much of my...

Well said Gavin. The key is that while measurement and curve describe objectively some attributes of sound and hearing, we are far from getting a complete understanding how we as human being preceive sound. In other words there are aspect of it that we don't even know who it work let alone how...

Agreed. I and used iP5s, iP6, Note3, Note5 as transport but other than software issue there were also intermittent disconnection issue, and the usb dac connection not recognized on the phone issues. The microUSB connector seems to be the main curlpit. I prefer optical over usb but probably won't...

Yea drivers definitely also give you a lot improvement. Just that the 6sn7 prices had been more and more crazy! For 6SN7, I tried and quite like ecc31. Also liked the RCA 5692 , CV1988 but now fin back to vt231 which I feel gave me best transparency.

I'm settled with ts5998 that gives me a more euphoric bass with more weight and body for my hd800 and he6. I prefer this over the 7236 which has tighter bass, and the we421a which I find nice smooth sounding but a tad less transparent and less bass impact than the 5998.

Seconded! My DX90 looks a lot better classed in Dignis :)

Don't fall for the balanced = better marketing ploy. You cannot compare balanced/single-ended across different brand/model. For example, my Hugo single end output sound significantly better than my AK240's balanced out. Same for the Mojo, the Aurender Flow and the HM901 with minibox amp board...

I agree. While mojo is every bit as technically capable as the Hugo, the Hugo tuning works better for me on all of my IEMs, including my V8 and the U12 I heard. This is a pity as I can really use a smaller (and cheaper)version of Hugo but ther different tuning made it hard for me as I kept...

Generally out the 3 I found the biggest change/improvement with the power tube, followed by the rectifier, and last the drivers. While the sophia has the pretties lights :)

Cable is light and not microphonic. I prefer to wear them down as the nozzle is angled in such a way wearing down is most secure and comfortable. Looking forward to hear your impression when they arrived. Love the fit and comfort. I m still more used to wearing customs but the N20 is one of...
