Audeze Mobius - mic problems
Spoke with a helpful Audeze support guy yesterday. I wasn't actually expecting a call back on the same day that I called in and left a message. Chris was helpful but apparently Audeze are learning of new erratic behaviors every day for the Mobius. There is a beta firmware, which may help, but is...- SlingBlade

Audeze Mobius - mic problems
Just got my Mobius. I was quite excited to be able to get an Audeze headset that I could use for sales calling. The first day I used them they worked perfectly, noise cancelling seemed great even with people talking right next to me and my voice was crystal clear. Today I put them on and my...- SlingBlade

"Millett Hybrid" redux: NuHybrid headphone amp, using the Korg Nutube
I'm about to order the Buffer. Have any of you have played with bias of the NuTube to get more even order distortion, and if so, what are your impressions?- SlingBlade

iFi Audio Nano iDSD discussion + impression
I agree with you completely. Even about the Apple-like packaging, exactly what came into my head when unpacking. And plenty of power for my EarSonics IEM's. I am simply blown away with the features and build quality at this price point. Their margin can't be all that much given what they've...- SlingBlade

Sonic Satori - HRT Levels the Field with the MicroStreamer
@mtruong34 your informed experience and opinions are certainly appreciated. Anyone who takes the time and energy to give from that is a generous soul, IMO. I guess this whole hobby is a journey of discovery. That can be enjoyable when the search can be made while already in possession of a...- SlingBlade

Sonic Satori - HRT Levels the Field with the MicroStreamer
@mtruong34 Could you please expand on what improvements you are actually hearing? More detail, dynamics, tighter bass, cleaner highs? More prat? I like the concept of the iusb.- SlingBlade

Sonic Satori - HRT Levels the Field with the MicroStreamer
Thanks for that reply, Mike. Since the cost of entry is pretty low and very little risk is involved I'll probably just get it and try it out. Your review pretty much sucked me into it. :grin:- SlingBlade

Sonic Satori - HRT Levels the Field with the MicroStreamer
I understand somewhat what you are saying. But in one sense I don't get it. How is it that this puny amp/DAC combo can drive multi thousand$ Audeze LCD3's to induce eargasms in Mike on one hand but on the other the line out is merely "meh"? I've not heard the LCD3's but I assume that they are...- SlingBlade

Sonic Satori - HRT Levels the Field with the MicroStreamer
This seems the be the place to comment/ask about the HRT MicroStreamer. I'm only interested in the line out SQ. Has anyone any observations about this? I read another review online from Australia where the MS was up against a very high dollar DAC in a very resolving loudspeaker system and...- SlingBlade

Metrum Acoustics Octave
Isn't this the same USB OEM board that came from the HEX? And it gets rave reviews in that context. So what's wrong it?- SlingBlade

Resonessence Labs Concero discussion/review thead
I am curious about how this DAC compares to the Metrum Octave. I know the Octave is NOS, so it's not apples to apples but would they be about on the same level? I've been scoping the Octave but a clean one box solution sure does have its appeal in the Concero.- SlingBlade

Earsonic SM3 alternative?
I agree with the OP that the SM3's are an amazing IEM. I love mine. Could you not take a little longer and just save up for them? Trust me, they're worth it. And they do show up now and then for sale here.- SlingBlade

Metrum Acoustics Octave
Has anyone given optical a serious chance on this DAC? I notice that new users have given lots of burn-in time to S/PDIF and that the sound has always changed for the better. Would it not make sense that only a cursory listen using optical would yield less than stellar results without any...- SlingBlade

World Tour: Need advice
Ok, so it sounds like everyone has a preference and a favorite. I confess to already forming a bias towards EarSonics from reading a number of reviews. It doesn't follow that following a majority preference for one product means that I will find it preferable. So, would anyone caution me...- SlingBlade

Pudu and MuuMuu, Thanks for sharing your experiences and the reasons you've chosen your particular paths. Pudu, I like your idea of a small unobtrusive and ultra-portable rig. I'm all for finding a very good pair of IEM's that I won't need to amp. In looking through reviews the...- SlingBlade

World Tour: Need advice
After reading around a bit I'm now wondering about my desired sound signature. Perhaps this is where I should have started. I want something that is musical and will draw me in to the music. So, it seems to me that 'analytical' is not what I want. Maybe something more along the lines of 'warm'...- SlingBlade
