Musician Audio Pegasus R2R DAC
I noticed with mine that the first time i plugged it in it sounded quite bright but i only listened for about an hour, i then left it running overnight and next day the brightness had gone. For me it has progressively warmed up over the past week and like a fine red wine it seems to be getting...- hedphonz

Denafrips Sub-Brand or Rip-off? The case of Musician Audio's Pegasus R2R DAC
I received my Pegasus 3 days ago and have it hooked up to a Laptop using Audirvana, Audio-GD Master 19 HP amp and Focal Utopia headphones. My initial impression is the level of detail is incredible yet absolutely no sibilance or brightness. After 10 years of being an HP audiophile enthusiast...- hedphonz

FiiO X7 Mk II 2GB RAM + 64GB ROM + ESS9028 PRO + Balanced + DSD + BT 4.1 aptX + Dual mSD + Dual Band WiFi + Opt Out
Spotify sound is suddenly completely distorted and extremely noisy but Fiio music player output is perfectly fine. This just happened today after 2 years+ of normal use. I uninstalled spotify, deleted cache/data etc but made no difference. I tried line out and HP outputs and streaming and...- hedphonz

Sennheiser momentum or Anker liberty pro 2 ? I'm wanting to go true wireless iem for exercise purposes only and happy to accept some loss of SQ. I like good strong bass and don't like sibilant trebles Would you guys say I was on the right track with either of the momentum or liberty pros ? Or...- hedphonz

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
I have a possible faulty bass driver on right channel on my original 3 year old Roxanne's. I'm unsure of what it would cost to ship and get repaired. Any one have any opinion of whether to repair or just invest in another iem.- hedphonz

Just got a notification on my phone about the noble audio sale and its suckered me back into headfi since buying JHA Roxannes a couple of years ago. Can i ask the wise here if the universal encores would be an upgrade as far as overall SQ and bass or are they on a similar level with the roxannes ?- hedphonz

FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |
my first impression on SQ is that listening through the x7 amp the sound was noticeably bigger in soundstage and detail but weak in bass and just not sounding good at all. I was immediately thinking i had made a mistake. After an hour i switched to line out and listening with my step-dance...- hedphonz

its only an issue if you can hear the noise. Seems best to do as they recommend though and turn it off once your music has streamed to disk- hedphonz
