Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements
I'm not sure. Its probably possible. I know from Sennheiser in Germany that the drivers for the HD600 (SYSTEM 300R/AL-NEODYM) are ok for the Jubilee. Best to contact Sonova. They took over the Consumer Division from Sennheiser...- wolfz

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements
I damaged the drivers of my HD58X and tried to get new ones. After a lot of email contact with Sennheiser , Sonova and Massdrop I found out that this driver (System 150R) is not available as spare part. Maybe this was already mentioned by someone before but I didnt read every post. Here the...- wolfz

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
Is there anybody on this forum who knows about how to perform a system root? The reason is I would like to disable the volume swipe screen function. By accidentally swiping the screen the volume goes up to ear damaging level in a second. My hearing is already impaired and I have to avoid an...- wolfz

Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150
I had a HD600 for a long time. An outstanding headphone. Sometimes I used it with a DAP from Cowan (J3). Even with the low output power of the J3 the SQ was pretty good. Surly it will be much better with the N3.- wolfz

Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150
Thanks for clarifying this. I have to agree. A dedicated headphone amp ( I use Meier Corda Classic ) with the T1 is a different world. The N3 can not substitute such a combo. But for what it is it does an admirable job driving a 600 ohm T1. Yes the kind of music plays a part too.- wolfz

Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150
The N3 can't handle HD600 or DT880? I use the N3 with a Beyerdynamic T1 (600 ohm) in high gain with very nice result. Volume only between 60 and 75. Hope that is not a problem because the load is to high for the amp in the N3?- wolfz

Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150
Hi I purchased a N3 player a few days ago and like to contact tech support. The email info@cayin.cn seems to be wrong. Tech support site is in Chinese language only. Problem is that the four symbols for Menu , Return , Next and Previous dont have the back light working. Cant see any symbol...- wolfz

New MEIER AUDIO headphone amp "CORDA CLASSIC"
Just want to chime in here but not to discuss the ff version. Quite interesting discussion...... Once there was a time ( long ago) I had an entry level Sennh. with the yellow pads (414? ) and a cheap amp % source and was immensely enjoying music. Today I have the habit to listen to sound more...- wolfz

ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE Signature Pro
Looks like that people have totally different experience with the Ultrasone service. Maybe I was lucky to get very good service. Probably because Ultrasone knew that I bought four expensive headphones........ The Proline 2900 had a driver issue and they gave me a brand new headphone and that...- wolfz

ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE Signature Pro
I agree with "elwappo 99" that the Sig Pro is the superior headphone ( by quite a margin ). I have long time experience with both but don't know much about other closed cans. The ED8 is a good headphone for portable players ( but who wants to pay that much.....). Otherwise I would not...- wolfz
