    Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements

    I'm not sure. Its probably possible. I know from Sennheiser in Germany that the drivers for the HD600 (SYSTEM 300R/AL-NEODYM) are ok for the Jubilee. Best to contact Sonova. They took over the Consumer Division from Sennheiser...

    Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Review & Measurements

    I damaged the drivers of my HD58X and tried to get new ones. After a lot of email contact with Sennheiser , Sonova and Massdrop I found out that this driver (System 150R) is not available as spare part. Maybe this was already mentioned by someone before but I didnt read every post. Here the...

    Astell&Kern SA700 - Past meets Present

    Does anybody know the output power rating for the SA700 into a 300ohm headphone (3.5mm and 2.5 balanced)?

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Is there anybody on this forum who knows about how to perform a system root? The reason is I would like to disable the volume swipe screen function. By accidentally swiping the screen the volume goes up to ear damaging level in a second. My hearing is already impaired and I have to avoid an...

    Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150

    I had a HD600 for a long time. An outstanding headphone. Sometimes I used it with a DAP from Cowan (J3). Even with the low output power of the J3 the SQ was pretty good. Surly it will be much better with the N3.

    Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150

    Thanks for clarifying this. I have to agree. A dedicated headphone amp ( I use Meier Corda Classic ) with the T1 is a different world. The N3 can not substitute such a combo. But for what it is it does an admirable job driving a 600 ohm T1. Yes the kind of music plays a part too.

    Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150

    The N3 can't handle HD600 or DT880? I use the N3 with a Beyerdynamic T1 (600 ohm) in high gain with very nice result. Volume only between 60 and 75. Hope that is not a problem because the load is to high for the amp in the N3?

    Cayin N3 Hi-Res DAP with AKM4490 DAC, apt-X Bluetooth, and Line, USB & Coax Out for $150

    Hi I purchased a N3 player a few days ago and like to contact tech support. The email info@cayin.cn seems to be wrong. Tech support site is in Chinese language only. Problem is that the four symbols for Menu , Return , Next and Previous dont have the back light working. Cant see any symbol...

    New MEIER AUDIO headphone amp "CORDA CLASSIC"

    Just want to chime in here but not to discuss the ff version. Quite interesting discussion...... Once there was a time ( long ago) I had an entry level Sennh. with the yellow pads (414? ) and a cheap amp % source and was immensely enjoying music. Today I have the habit to listen to sound more...

    ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE Signature Pro

    Looks like that people have totally different experience with the Ultrasone service. Maybe I was lucky to get very good service. Probably because Ultrasone knew that I bought four expensive headphones........ The Proline 2900 had a driver issue and they gave me a brand new headphone and that...

    ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE Signature Pro

    I agree with "elwappo 99" that the Sig Pro is the superior headphone ( by quite a margin ). I have long time experience with both but don't know much about other closed cans. The ED8 is a good headphone for portable players ( but who wants to pay that much.....). Otherwise I would not...

    I heard that the gain mod can improve the SQ when driving the Beyer T1. Is there anybody who has experience with this?   Thanks

    ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE Signature Pro

    Once I asked Ultrasone what to do about the pressure issue. They said just take the pads out and put them in reversed.

    ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE Signature Pro

    Quote: I have the same problem. Looks like a design fault. All other headphones I have and had I had to pull out by half. Nothing to do with my head size.   Solution is to take out the two little screws ( each side ) of the plastic parts ( one with the serial number on it ) and carefully...

    Ultrasone Edition 12 announced in Japan

    The ED8.........Took me a long time to find a buyer. Sold it with a big loss. It was a similar story with the 8 finding a suitable amp. Among six apms the Meier was best for this fussy headphone but not good enough. Even the $3000 Stello Eximus couldn't do it.  The 8 is a good headphone for...

    Ultrasone Edition 12 announced in Japan

    Give the Meier a try. Could be  the right amp for you too. If not I assume there is something wrong with my hearing.   Every headphone I had in the last few years I had issues when listening for longer periods ( listening fatigue ). Not so with the ED12.  There is something "seductive" about...

    Ultrasone Edition 12 announced in Japan

    The ED12 is better with the 10 ohm Centrance than the 3 ohm Burson Conductor SL in my opinion. And outstanding with the near 0 ohm Corda Classic. The same with the Sig Pro.  Excellent with the Meier and quite acceptable with the Centrance but not that good with the Burson.

    Ultrasone Edition 12 announced in Japan

    Just want to ad a few words here regarding amplification.   I used the ED12 with three solid state amps:   1. Meier Corda Classic 2. Centrance Dacmini ( 10 ohm ). 3. Burson Conductor SL (  same as Soloist SL ).   The Corda Classic proofed to be the best (by quite a margin). This is a...

    Ultrasone Edition 12 announced in Japan

    Sorrodje ,I enjoyed reading your review very much.   I have a ED12 for several weeks now and I agree with your observations. The sound is mellow and relaxed. Easy to listen for hours without fatigue. A little bit like the HD650 ( regarding the "relaxed sound")  I remember. Used with solid...

    Sorrodje,   I tried to translate your review with  Google.  That was not very successful. Any chance you can do this and post it here?   Thanks

    CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread

    A bit old this post........   I have the 10 Ohm version. With some low impedance headphones the bass can sound a bit loose, not well controlled. I made this experience with the Ultrasones Sig Pro and ED12 ( around 30 Ohm ). Changing from the Dacmini to the Meier Corda Classic amp ( 0-1 Ohm...
