    Denafrips 'Pontus' R2R ladder DAC - close up view

    Hello, everyone. I have a little problem with my very recently arrived Denafrips Venus, I hope someone, or even Alvin, can help me. The DAC works great through the USB connection with my PC, but I can't make it work through the coaxial or optical connections with my blu-ray player/source Oppo...

    Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread

      Thank you very much!   You are right about that.   Things often are a little more complicated and tricky here in Brazil, but I am going to give it a try.   Be well.

    Probably not rare: my Classic also cracked in the headband. But not my Pro. Is it the "replacement method" an easy process? Maybe I'll do that as well.

    Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread

      +1. A big +1 on this one! I would love to hear an open-back Focal. It's a pity the dollar skyrocketed 50% in the last 6 months or so here in my country; everything got so much expensive for me.  As a matter of fact, I visited Focal's website looking for any news on an open-back and saw that...

      Sorry for the delay. I got busy these days.   Quote:   The Classic (compared to the Pro) is warmer, has a little sparkle but no sibilance and a sweet tone that gives voices a little detached print that I like. The Pro has more bass in comparison. The differences are subtle and I don't...

      Hi, godbluff   Thank you very much. Sorry taking a while to answer. You have a good timing, I am just in the process of comparing those cans. I think if I should do a ranking it would be:   FSClassic > FSPro > L2 > Momentum   The Philips L2 is a great hp too, but I feel it has a over...

    I know what you mean. I feel that about the Classic too. Smooth and versatile.

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    Sorry, I got a little confused. Could you guys clarify me if that review is about one new model of Bryston BHA-1, a 2015 model if you will, or he is just talking about the "regular" BHA-1 compared to that 49 first units that came out with NO preamp output??    I could not find differences...

      Hmmm... as it seems, the Pro and the Classic are not so similar. Maybe it is worth to have both.    Thanks, Music Alchemist.

    Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread

    Thank you both very much, joe and Music Alchemist. Great reviews, but I was wondering if someone here in the thread have had the pleasure of owing or at least heard both, just to add some new perspective. I don't know, but having both probably would be a little overkill, considering they are...

    Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread

    Hello, everyone   1. Has someone here compared the sound of the Focal Classic and Pro (apart from Tyll)? Any findings you could share?   2. Does someone here (with a good feedback) have a nice priced FSPro in mint/near-mint condition to sell?   Thanks.

    Focal Spirit Classic First Look - Head-Fi TV

    Yes, it is a pity about the ear cup size, but I put mine some nights on the sofa arm (to stretch) and now I can use them for hours.

    Master & Dynamic MH40 Over Ear Headphone

    I am quite taken by the Focal Spirit Classic. Both in looks and sound. I loved the brown color and metal parts, they really made it, well, classic, or classy, should I say. The cons are the the leather is probably pleather, the cups are on-ear (not over-ear) for most people and in the top of the...

    Master & Dynamic MH40 Over Ear Headphone

    No, no. They are just the newest ones, the last ones I bought. A little soon to say much about them, but I am enjoying them quite a bit.

    Focal Spirit One for $149. Better than the M50x?

    You can find the Sennheiser Amperior for very little here in the forum, also a great choice. There is a guy selling a V-Moda M80 very cheap here in the forum, I never tried it, but if is close to its big brother, M100, should be great. The M100 has A LOT of bass. But that deal of Focal Spirit...

    Focal Spirit One for $149. Better than the M50x?

    The Focal Spirit One sells for a nice price now because they are going out of the market. They will be replaced by the Focal Spirit One S. That, it seems, corrects some issues with comfort (earcup size), sound and construction. The initial reviews are good. There are links to reviews in Focal's...

    Quote: I measure 47 cm from ears bottom lobe to bottom lobe and it is in the very limit, any bigger and you will face trouble fitting them.
