    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    You're welcome. I don't know. I'm not sure that they have a iFi Bridge app for Mac OS. If so then yes, it should work either way since there's nothing "custom" about the setup. If you have the app running on any Windows PC on your network it should work though, even if that PC isn't your Roon Core.

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    How to use the Shanling ET3 as a lossless Roon endpoint I wanted to do a write up since I recently set this up. Then, realizing Darko covered the ET3 recently I figured I should stop being lazy and get this done. It’s very easy and very straight forward so if it seems like a lot of steps don’t...

    For sure. It's a Pinza in the size large. It's great with all but the gnarliest of cables.

    You should be good. It vaguely mentions it by way of, "Note 2: There may be a small to moderate glitch when switching gain or mode. If you would like to avoid this, unplug your headphones. We do not recommend IEMs with this amp in any case.". I don't turn mine off when I swap and I haven't...

    There's maybe one hour a day where the sunlight reaches my desk. I give you the Mjolnir 3!

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    The above quotes helped me realize what I feel is the key difference between the HD600 and the HD660S2. I think the HD600 specializes in vocals where the HD660S2 specializes in instruments. Neither is bad with the other specialty but I think they trade blows with each having its strong suit.

    I just checked, it says 72° F in my room. I will have to update that though in my final thoughts later. After being on over 24 hours the ambient it gives off isn't an issue still (within 1 - 2 inches of the heatsink), but that heat sink is too hot to comfortably touch.

    The CMA12 is sitting in a box ready for sale and the box my Mjolnir 3 came in is sitting in my closet :sunglasses: The Qutest lived up to my expectations and the Mjolnir 3 has been as well. This combo has the 12 beat on micro, macro, general dynamics and tone, and that's over the 6.35mm HP out...

    I can feel your pain. I was considering the Anni too. I ruled it out for me because the gain only affects the speaker outs and not the headphone out. For more sensitive stuff you will be on a razors edge for volume (or so I've read); the stand they make for the two of them is astonishingly...

    First impressions: I don't post much but I've been here for forever and gear I've had is all linked in my profile if it matters to anyone. The Mjolnir 3 landed on my desk in place of my Gilmore Lite Mk2 with GRRV PSU. My setup: Chord Qutest to Mjolnir 3 to Peachtree M24's ( all with Pangea...

    :o2smile: Will do. I've left it on non-stop since about 5 minutes prior to posting the pic earlier. I feel like the heat was oversold. I think the bottom might be getting warmer than the top but at no point have I not been able to flat out touch the heatsinks. But I can smell the light wiff of...

    Mine arrived at the local FedEx hub Saturday morning. Let's just say this feels like a 3 day weekend but all of these impressions being written have been a life saver during the wait.

    Never mind, it shipped 1 day after I ordered. Nice.

    How many days would you say it takes for these to ship? I know it says 5-7, has that been about right?

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    I appreciate all of the comparisons and impressions so far. I'm still on the fence about ordering one of these though. I'm still trying to get a feel for how the M3 sounds. Is it warm or thick? Is it pretty transparent or is it musical, etc. If any of you have thoughts about that it would be...

    Meze Audio 109Pro - the all-new Dual-Composites dynamic headphone

    I got them today and I'm giving them the once over. Initially I have a migraine so I'll drop in tomorrow sometime with first impressions when sound doesn't hurt my head.

    Meze Audio 109Pro - the all-new Dual-Composites dynamic headphone

    I bought them. I'll have them on Saturday. I'm optimistic and I of course expect them to sound good but I'm also factoring build, the quality of interacting with them and comfort in. In the same way I won't like something that sounds bad I also don't like things that sound good but fail at...

    The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

    Thanks for the recommendation. I got it sorted. I had to unmount the SD card in settings, remove the SD card, then format the internal storage in settings (the option only appears once you unmount or remove the SD card), then create a new database in settings, power down the Walkman, reinsert...

    The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

    Has anyone ever had issues with Folders on their Walkman? I have 13 albums by The Beatles and when I move them to my Walkman, no matter how I move them, they create a "Database Error". If I view them in recently added there is no issue, but if I select Artist and scroll once I get to The Beatles...

    Looking for a DAP that beats the LG V30+

    I never tested this but it should work without an issue. However, the E18 is a DAC Amp and it will bypass the ESS Sabre DAC that is in the V30. IMHO, the V30 sounds considerably better than the E18 and if the E18 is in fact more powerful, it's not by much. The amp section of the E18 is it's...

    Looking for a DAP that beats the LG V30+

    That depends on the can to me. It may have left you wanting on the Planars and I can understand your feelings there, but a headphone that actually triggers the +60ohm mode is a different animal entirely from my experience. I think the 58x are 150ohm? They should be great with it.
