Great/scary to see that a monstrous typhoon isn't stopping people from going to check out the Abyss and other head-fi gear.  Hope you and your families stay safe.

Unless I missed something, there is no "manual", per se.  There's a single page of info to help get you started.  JPS really should include either some illustrations that explain the fitting process.  It would be really cool if they posted a video on their website to help walk people through the...

Not sure if this was mentioned in a previous post, but to echo Gavin's post above, JPS labs also said that I won't need a perfect seal, and I'll want to let in some air for a better bass response. This must be why there are so many adjustment options on the Abyss. Also, to add to Gavin's...

Just put everything together and 5 minutes in these puppies are surprisingly comfortable.  I parted ways with the LCD3 in March, but from what I remember, the Abyss are definitely more comfortable.     Big thanks to Joe at Cable Co. and Joe at JPS for the great and friendly service.  I haven't...

Thanks GG... Those look great, but I have to stick with the stock cable solution for the foreseeable future! Any suggestions for connections/adapters with the stock cable?

What are people using to conenct to portable sources (e.g., AK120)?  I have a Grado 1/4" to 1/8" connector, but wondering if there are better options out there. 

Have only been able listen for a couple of hours but I'm loving my 900s. Big thank you to Todd and Brian at TTVJ for the great service!! So far am only using straight from an Oppo BDP-105... Need to start considering amp options!

Hi everyone, I just ordered the TH-900 and am pretty psyched.     For now, will connect directly to Oppo BDP-105 as the amp/source with music flowing from a 2012 Mac Mini.     Starting the research on an ideal amp, but hoping the Oppo will do for now.  Anyone else have experience with a...

Quote: The "Format Unsupported" and "File not Found" messages sometimes pop for me if I leave the player idle and it automatically powers down.  When I get the message, I manually shut down the player and turn it back on, and this resolves the issue.  Hopefully, a future firmware update can...

Quote: Be careful with HDTracks, I bought a bunch of albums over there only to find out later that the quality is misrepresented for many selections.  I had mixed results with my initial purchases.  If you haven't already, check out the thread at computeraudiophile in which people discuss...

Quote: yes and yes... both cards are SanDisk Ultra 64gb Micro SDXC (Class 10; UHS-1)

Quote: I'm using two 64g msd cards on a stock AK100 with latest firmware.  Both  cards are almost fully loaded, and I have not experienced any lag issues. 

Quote:   AC or others--  Do you notice substantial differences in the SQ among the various file formats/resolutions?  Many times I find that I enjoy the 16/44.1 flacs more than the 24/192 flacs.   With the "lower-rez" files, the soundstage seems more wide open and the music seems grander...

I followed the instructions on the ALO website for formatting 64gig cards to fat32 using the Utilities app on my MB air. Both cards work great.

Quote: Works great with FTG334s on its own.  No amp necessary.  Playing everything from 16/44.1 through 24/192 with most of the files being 24/96.   Using HE-500s via a Grado 1/4 to 1/8 converter, I felt it performed much better when amped with an ALO MK3b.  Without the amp I thought it...

Purchased two 64 gig Micro SD cards on a great deal due to good 'ol price matching. Everything is operating smoothly. But wow are these cards tiny!  Technology is amazing,

Posting some quick iPhone pics of the AK100 + FTG334 commute bundle (not the best resolution pics, i know).   1. This is the case that comes with the FTG334:     2. The AK100 fits snugly with the FTG334 (did not need to add pressure to close the case):     3. All out:  ...

Received the AK100 today... updated to latest firmware made available on 12/10 and transfered various high rez and CD-quality flacs... after 20 minutes of initial testing, everything plays smoothly and sounds really good with my FTG334s.   Updating the firmware and transferring files was...

I'm guessing ALO will recommend their amps with almost any transport, seeing as how it's in their business interest to do so  However, I've had the MK3 for a few months now and love it.  Granted, I haven't heard any non-ALO portable amps, but the MK3 sounds great to me.  I have it connected to...

I decided to order the AK100 because I'm hoping for an ideal transport to pair directly with my FTG334s and also with LCD-3s amp'd via an ALO MK3.     I'm excited about the ability to play both high-rez and CD-quality Flac files without having to convert to another format or feed through a...

Wow. I'm way out of depth there.  Sounds like you'll have a lot of fun .

I actually LOVE the MK2 and am super bummed to sell it.  I had some unexpected expenseses come up that I want to raise money for right away instead of holding off, which is why I'm selling certain pieces of my setup.  I hope to get back in the market for a premium DAC and head-phone amp next...

Haha, no unfortunately I do not.  I do however have a Rega Apollo and an Oppo BDP-95 that I plan to put up for sale 

Hi all, this is my first post on Head-Fi, though I've been reviewing many of the threads for a few months now. I barely had the listing for the MK-II up on Audiogon when I heard from preproman.  It was a great transaction and am happy to see that I was able to transact with someone from Head-fi!
