I'm right behind you, want to emulate that (receiver night mode / dolbys dynamic range compression / aftermaster pro), I happen to be playing with LoudMax also. Wondering if there's a more apt VST to bring down the loud instead of bringing up the threshold too much. Bumping this request instead...

http://store.sleek-audio.com/earphones.html looks like SA6-R is gone and SA7 limited edition is available for purchase @ 350USD even though at the top of the inventory page contains this line Sleek Audio's highly anticipated SA6-R and SA7 earphones will be available in early 2012.   that...

SA6 > UM3X, I doubt I got a dud, I'm not going to waste another 60 dollar restocking fee to find out. I've only had those and a couple sets of CX300 before hand. Main gripe with um3x was sound imaging was wack and distracting.

Well where the cable breaks on me is in the strain relief, so where it meets the (L/R) housing. IIRC there was a custom cable company that sold their own replaceable cables for various headphones for like 99USD and had an option for inquiring about others they hadn't offered... was thinking...

Well 8mo's average is my heavy (6-12hrs daily) usage, I haven't broken any other headphone cable either but then again I haven't had another pair longer than the period I could return it.

I've been waiting for their SA6-R to come out as well, I still like my SA6 after 3yrs and hope they release some type of replacement in case something terrible happens. its cables only last 8mo's average but at least they still supply those, at one time retailers and their store didn't have...

I tried different USB cables, ferrite beaded and without before I RMA'd that PSU, if that's what you're asking.   I know when I plug and unplug from the dac/amp that there is a little backround noise present on the lower wattage psu which is forgettable but it's so pronounced on the bigger...

I was going to upgrade my computers gpu and received a more powerful Seasonic power supply only to discover my current USB DAC/Amp has a higher noise floor and obvious clicking noise as a result, I RMA'd that PSU for a replacement and the replacement does the same thing! at the time I didn't...

possibly pre-emphasis was put into that specific mastering. that logs CRCs don't match 12 remasters I've got on file.

So far mine with USPS, one package (a return) was sent to Hong Kong on Sept. 27th and another (defective, waiting to be tested/replaced) to China Oct. 13th, neither* has yet to show up at its destination.   I didn't purchase tracking, but the Customs Declaration has a code on em, both got to...

What kind of music should I test these UM3Xs with, for clarity purposes? I've tried various post-rock albums and so far the only that's changed is the soundstage, bass might have a lighter tone to it but it's very acceptable considering I was using bass+ components on my SA6.

  20/100 system (0db in music player) @ 30/40 steps is roughly about -23db in music player with the system at 100/100 with the fullsize headphones and with the iems I got on hand the dial shrinks to 13/40 but I guess ~10 steps is a fair amount of adjustment. I was playing with...

I got the Yulong Audio U100 recently and it may be too powerful for my iems (returned some fullsized cans that I was going to use). At 100% Software volume and 100% System(Computer) volume the dial is like this: Step 0 barely audible Step 1 left side only whisper Step 2 left side only...

Back-story: You see what I listen with in my signature and I've been doing so for 2~3 years now, during that time I've come across numerous threads declaring the DT 770 PRO 80 as a basshead headphone or one which has extraordinary bass quantity. In the recent past I had a rental car with the...

I've gone through 3 cables on my SA6, last one tore at the headphone connector area on day ~50 from my email order confirmation and I've been hesitant to just buy another without trying to elongate it's life span. The last cable I had tried using epoxy and it kept them alive for awhile until...
