I didn’t compare them directly, but I think they’re pretty close. Neither is as isolating as traditional IEM designs; both more isolating than AirPods. Both provided some isolation without music playing, and outside noise didn’t bother me much with music. Probably depends mostly on how well each...

Yeah, I think they're a substantial step up in sound from the AirPods. Lots more detail/clarity. I like the balance/tuning of the RHA more too—for me (people's impressions of the AirPods seem to differ a good bit depending on fit), the AirPods are bloated in the mid/high bass, and lack some high...

I had the TrueConnect and liked them. No connectivity problems, and I liked the sound quality better than the Jabra as I found them better balanced (more bass and smoother in the highs). Ultimately I found them a little uninvolving vs. the Sennheiser (which, obviously, is a substantial step up...

I plugged mine into the USB-C charger for my MacBook (via a C-toC cable) and it charged, no problem.

Could be a fit issue—if one side fits a little better than the other and seals more, it can sound louder.

DragonFly 1.0 or 1.2? If it's 1.0 I agree with you, but I think the 1.2 beats the microStreamer.

I would have liked to include it, but it wasn't available in time. Sorry. I wish I could just include everything.

I forgot to mention above,that's the new 1.2 DragonFly, not the old 1.0—nit sure if we're making the same comparison. It bought the microStresmer did top the v1.0 DragonFly. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I put a lot of work I to it :-) Thanks! I'd pick the microStreamer over the D1 too. But both the D1 and D3 are good products. They just didn't win out in my opinion. Dragonfly 1 is $99, but I think that's just until stock runs out. Some places on Amazon still...

Hi guys. I think I mentioned earlier in the thread that I was working on a big review of a number of USB DACs, microStreamer included:    - Audioengine D3 - Cambridge Audio DACmagic XS - HRT microStreamer - CEntrance DACport - AudioQuest DragonFly v1.2 - Meridian Explorer - Arcam rPAC (not...

  The review's finally out! Hope you guys find it interesting.    http://www.macworld.com/article/2089224/usb-dac-review-six-compact-components-for-upgrading-your-computer-s-audio.html   Thanks again for your interest :-)

Edits completed. Should be up next Friday on Macworld and TechHive. I'll post a link here when I have one. Hope you enjoy!

  Thanks! I'll be sure to post a link when it's up. It's waiting on edits at the moment...

How do you remove it, with nail polish remover? (I had assumed that wouldn't work since the earpieces are acrylic as well.)

  Are you on iOS 7? I got 24/96 to work under iOS 6. Under 7 it appears to work but the audio stutters.
