I'm afraid not. At least not well enough to make AFC sound their best. It requires more current than most portable device can deliver. IME, AFC will sound best on desktop amps. Most people I see complaining AFC sound too thin is because it is more or less under driven. Get something like the...

In reference to T1, together with Aiva is like you said treble focused. As I mentioned while ago, the Aiva reminds me of T1. My overall impression is that Aiva improves on the shortcomings of T1. As far as poor recording is concerned, the Aiva is way less harsher and enjoy listening on it more...

@mrspeakers Hi Dan, can you advise which retailers in Singapore already have a demo unit?

Thanks, just place an order.

That looks good please share the link where we can get them.

How the Aeon 2 sound like is irrelevant. My concern is to make the cascade more comfortable. The Aeon2 is only mentioned as reference to it's comfort. It's a pity that CA spend time to make the headphone sound very good but dropped the ball as far as comfort goes.

Has anyone tried or found an alternative headband for the cascade? The headband is what stopping me from making this headphone stay longer on my head. They are just not comfortable. I hate it when I had to stop listening to this headphone just to relieve the discomfort. I hope CA can look at...

What I mean by bloat is relative to other headphones I have tried over the years. T1 is my first audiophile headphone and it really sounded great at the time when I had not tried many headphones other than cheap ones which normally comes with old walkmans or headsets that comes with PC. Over...

The original AFC needs adequate power to sound their best. The PM3 is way more efficient. The dragon fly red, will be inadequate. The AFC sounded bad when underpowered. As an alternative, look at E1DA 9038S, using an otg cable with external power, it can power and drive my AFC making it sound...

I'm interested to hear comparison with CA Cascade. For a close back the cascade sound more open, wider and full-bodied. In stock form the low end is just overpowering but with the filter and cloth pad it just sound gorgeous. Plus the fact that it is more efficient than the AFC. AFC needs a more...

Yeah the graph you see for this can looks bad. But the result can vary from one person to another. When I tried this on it's just amazing. ignoring Zeos' hyperbole, I can see why he is saying this is a steal for headphone.

True, for 600 USD it’s still a bargain. I have headphones that cost much more that I think will never use again and would sell soon (e.g. AFC) I am not supposed to buy this yet as I have not tried the headphone myself. But saw the drop yesterday and placed my order immediately. After work, I...

This headphone is proof that, no matter what impressions you read or graphs you see. Your own ears and experience will decide. I just happen to find a shop that carry this headphone and able to listen and do a comparison with Ananda. I will agree with Zeos about this headphone. It's a steal...

"Free USB bandwidth after playback" was already enabled/ticked. Disabling/unticking actually solved the problem. Did you actually mean disable rather than enable? Anyway thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

When playing a track either from the beginning or coming from a pause, around 2 seconds of audio is cut at the start of the song. I'm using the E1DA USB DAC/amp with Samsung Note8 on Android 9. Tried playing with the settings but can't find anything that works. Neutron does not show this...

Have you tried Cascade + cloth pad | T4 filter? If not try one, it has the treble sparkle but still have that low end ommph.

I don't find it overly bright. Actually, the bass oomph is still there which what makes Cascade unique but just make it less overpowering. I don't find the treble harsh or bright.

Cascade + 4T + Cloth pad is my "stuck in an Island alone headphone". To me it has the perfect Bass and mids. The treble is not as sparkly as what I hear from detail monsters like KSE1500 but still very clear and non-fatiguing. I can listen to this can for hours. What sets cascade apart is the...

I use cascade with cloth pad as portable. To me yes, it's an iem replacement if you can live with it when out and about. Regardless of price no iem can match the experience of listening to a headphone. Just like a headphone to a speaker. imo the headband fit needs improvement. At least for me...

I like the look and color of the ear cups too. But the headband could be better. It just look weird when I have it on my head. I like to use it when out and about and people really notice how it looks weird. I am wonder if the cascade cups with the haedband of ATH-M headband could look way better.

Got this and the construction quality is excellent. They throw in a nice case too.

If they released a QP2R with 2 microSD slot and bigger internal storage and call in QP Master, I might bite. :) But by the looks of it, it's difficult to justify getting the QPM. I see it a step backward from QP2R with a big bump in price. I feel like Questyle is trying to sell a snakeoil here...

Yeah I remember you are very active arguing the merits of the specs back then. But with the price of poly, they only need to sell a few and they can turn a healthy profit I guess. Not sure how much it cost now but it was more than the mojo as far as I remember.

You can't convince people if they are already sold or rooted very deep into their beliefs. It's like religion. No point in arguing, it's just not healthy and the only thing you can do is move on. I don't post here as much as I used to but still lurking about because it's still a good forum to...
