Long shot - does anyone know if there's a readily available replacement for the Sabaj D5 display?
Sabaj support is non-existent (I had an issue with a different Sabaj product; contacted support and 8 months later am still waiting for a response) so I will have to fix this myself, if possible. Is the LCD used a common OTS component and, if so, does anyone know the model number or how to...- viivo

My mistake, it's 3.5. Either way, I don't see any dual 3.5 to XLR adapters.- viivo

WTB or Borrow. I received a D5 with a very old firmware version. It's absurd that upgrading is done this way. No response from Sabaj after a month and out of stock likely never to return at Ali.- viivo

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
Thanks for the replies. Is there any reason why lopping off the stock balanced cable's 4.4mm connectors and terminating with XLR wouldn't work?- viivo

DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread
I'm trying to make a 4-pin XLR to dual 3.5mm cable work with my MDR-z7s. The cable works with my Fostex T-X0, so I assume it has to be rewired to work with the z7. Does anyone know what is required and if it's at the XLR termination or the drivers? Thanks for any help.- viivo

MDR-z7 and Sabaj D5 - no sound from XLR output. Is this cable wired correctly?
It's not the cable or D5 since they work with my Fostex T-X0. So it must be the Z7s. Here's the right driver - does anyone know which pads would allow these to work with standard balanced cables when rewired?- viivo

Are XMOS drivers needed for a DAC used only for gaming and streaming content?
DAC: Sabaj D5 One of the differences I see with the XMOS drivers installed is I can select 16 and 24-bit depths as opposed to only 32-bit with the default Windows USB driver. Are XMOS drivers only for those using an audio interface and/or playing back lossless?- viivo

How different is the HD600's sound signature from Beyer/Drop DT177x?
I dislike everything about my DT177x so I'm looking for something that sounds different, if not better. Would the HD600 fit that role?- viivo

What's the deal with the Bellari HA543 amp?
I'm unable to find a single genuine review from an audio or headphone site for this amp that's been available for 5 years. For the price - they can be had for as little as $79 - I have trouble believing the specs and features listed on the official site. It obviously doesn't have real balanced...- viivo

Ordered from Amazon a few months ago but have seen little use. I bought them to confirm that I still can't make myself like Beyer's sound. I've had nearly a dozen Beyerdynamic models over the past decade and I've disliked every single one. I don't know why I keep buying them. They're in very...- viivo
