@Aleksandar R. While waiting on the Immanis, I am not yet sure which interface I should select: one with 32 or one with 8 Ohm resistance. I will use the Immanis connected to a Pass Labs XA25 power amplifier. An amp which is rather similar to the Firstwatt J2. The J2 was also used during the...

Hi fellow Swiss head-fiers, In case someone is interested, I am selling a Chord 2Go & Chord 2Yu unit. Both are in like-new condition. Bought them in Zürich (k55.ch) See also on avguide: https://www.avguide.ch/marktplatz/anzeige/31386FA6-E111-42B9-8C963D462E89FD79 :)

You inspired me :wink:. No, not really, but you gave me the final push... I also ordered the Immanis set from headphone.shop today. Another Immanis will find its way to Switzerland. Mine will be mainly used with a Pass Labs XA25 power amp (Preamp is a Pass XP32). I will also try it with my...

No, the BHSE and the Stax are sold. Just in case, I have a Tambaqui DAC up for sale now.

Bump

The Tambaqui is in immaculate like new condition. I bought it - beginning of 2021 - from an official Mola Mola dealer ins Switzerland (digistore.ch in Geneva). It comes in the original packaging, including the pelican box, documentation and remote. At that time (early 2021) Mola Mola added only...

No worries, I will do the same now :sunglasses:: I made two advertisements for my Stax rig and published them today in avguide.ch/marktplatz (section "Kopfhörer") Sometime in January I will add both items to the classifieds. Two pics as a teaser :relaxed:

Yes, as MarkParity said, within Rigelian you use MPD. Here some screenshots from my settings when using Hotspot mode (but most of the time I connect to the available local network). First, use gofigure to assign the appropriate settings for the 2go. I also use gofigure to scan the SD card...

With the 2go connected to either a Hugo 2 or TT2, an iPhone and a) WiFi available: use gofigure to connect to the local WiFi. use (e.g.) Rigelian to browse/select your music on the SD card b) WiFi not available: use gofigure to set the 2go into hotspot mode. Connect your phone to the WLAN...

Lately my Weiss device gets disconnected just out of the blue (time intervals vary between some minutes and some hours) My Weiss DSP501 is connected via USB to a Windows 11 Desktop. I am using the Weiss Audio device driver v5.62. This happens with Roon as well as with foobar2000. No matter if I...

Yes

If you don't own a Susvara yet but want to buy one together with a very good amp (which would not spoil the party for the Susvara), you could first try to evaluate which option might be preferable for you: 1) go with a Stax setup: Stax SR-X9000, Headamp BHSE. Total amount (rough estimate) ca...

No problems here. I use a TT2, Chord 2Go/2Yu as streamer (and HD800S HP) as bedside rig. A small Furman power conditioner (AC-210) is used to switch the two devices on/off. Furman Power on: TT2 starts its boot sequence. Streamer gets into Standby mode. Manually start streamer. To switch off...

I also have a slight hearing imbalance. It's not disturbing when listening to my speaker setup, but it's disturbing when listening to headphones. Sound is always a bit off-center for me, specifically higher frequencies. My advice would be to add a digital audio processor to your system. Example...

Born in the mid fifties I am into high end audio since the very early seventies. Meanwhile my hearing isn't anymore what it was. Overall I am still grateful for how it is, i.e. no problems in daily life, still enjoying my speaker setups. But with headphones the pleasure is reduced as the sound...

which of the two situations below are you referring to? 1) (e.g. using a switchable power strip)... 2go2yu is at the beginning disconnected from power. Then you provide power, the 2go2yu power button gets red. Now you are pressing the power button and you are running into the problems you are...

USB Audio Class 2.0 is the one to select.

The same happend to me three weeks ago (IE300, right driver). Had to send it back to a Sennheiser repair center in Germany. Of course, before sending it back, I isolated the issue, i.e. it was indeed the driver and nothing else (cable, dac, amp). I haven't heard anything since.

I received my Stax SR-X9000 two days ago. Meanwhile I spent a few hours to compare my desktop headphone setup (D) to my main rig headphone setup (M). In common for D and M is: Roon (OS: ROCK) fanless server with Ethernet connection to LAN. All files are stored locally (SSD in Roon server). D...

Bought in November 2019. I am the first owner. Condition (functional and visual): excellent/like new apart from two very minor blemishes: see red circles in one picture. Only used for a very few hours. Comes with: Original box, original case and all inserts, see pictures. Additional cable for...

I wonder if the step relay volume control in the V550 has been improved compared to the one in the V281? I am asking because: I had the V281 (with step relay vol) and sold it a few years ago. The only reason was, that I found the noise caused by volume adjustments very disturbing. The noise was...

This post over at whatsbest does NOT spoil our anticipation... :) https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/new-stax-flagship.33510/page-2#post-750015

1) My Susvara + Pass speaker amp does not "kill" my 009 + BHSE 2) You know someone, who said something about the X9000 and based on that you conclude that "Stax learned nothing". Wouldn't it be better to show some patience and collect more (and more reliable) information before judging?

Having both, the Susvara and the Stax SR-009 (not 009S), some weeks ago, I set up a test environment to compare them. The "competitors" were: Pass Preamp XP32 tape-out --> BHSE --> Stax SR009 vs Pass Preamp XP32 main output --> Pass XA25 Speaker amp --> Susvara (using an Arctic cable, connected...

Let me add, it was not USD 1800, it was Swiss Francs 1800, that's very close to USD 2000 and I bought it ten years ago. Of course it was still an excellent price for the buyer.
