Thanks for the clarification and additional information! I have installed the standalone Qobuz and Tidal apps, and I'll admit that it wasn't easy.

Hi Cocosan, Thanks so for much for chiming in! Oh, wow... so there is a Foobar app for the A&K Kann Alpha? This is quite a revelation, and I will have to install it right away. Thanks so much! (Thank you also for having verified that the Foobar app does apply the EQ settings. Rock on! :) )...

Hi there, @kel77! Thanks for your input. I used my PC --> Foobar --> Hugo 2 via a Curious USB cable for several years, and the EQ information from Foobar sent along to my Hugo 2 (just as it was with my old Benchmark and Violectric DACs). Thus, I had hoped that the same would happen with the...

Hi all! Does the Alpha’s EQ work with external DACs? I have the EQ dialed in nicely for the T1 for direct output from the Alpha, however, when I connect it via an OTG cable to my Hugo 2, the EQ is definitely no longer in effect. Is there a special setting for using the Alpha’s EQ with an...

1) Focal Utopia 2) Beyerdynamic T1 (Early model - #1408) 3) Audeze LCD-3F 4) Beyerdynamic DT880 (600 ohm)

It was a pleasure to work with TopQuark on this deal! He sent payment right away and is very kind. Highly recommended to all!

After auditioning numerous USB Cables to use as a link for my computer and Hugo 2, I settled upon this exceptional one from Curious a few years back. It is a truly excellent audiophile USB Cable! I recently moved to a DAP as my source for the Hugo 2, so I am letting this fantastic cable go to...

5-months Old - Near-Mint Condition - Single-ended (1/4) Connector I am blown away by how much detail this Silver Dragon Premium cable has brought to the forefront for my Audeze LCD-3 headphones. However, as I have a pair of Focal Utopia headphones that are detail retrieval kings, I decided...

They certainly did! I also purchased my T1 soon after they were released, and I still love them! That "silvery" edge is just so wonderful... I own #1408. What about you?

Ahhh... I haved owned #1408 of the T1.1 since 2010, and I can definitely relate to that "silvery" quality to which you refer! Love it! :)

Hello everyone! I just downloaded UAPP and am loving it so far. I am using an old Samsung S7 Edge running Android 8.0.0 in conjunction with my Hugo 2. UAPP is doing a great job of feeding my Hi-Rez files to the Hugo 2, but I am having a problem with the built-in Qobuz functionality: the...

In my collection currently: 1) Focal Utopia 2) Audeze LCD-3F 3) Beyerdynamic T1 4) Beyerdynamic DT-880 (600 ohm)

Thanks so much for sharing your insights! Although I was wowed by the detail retrieval of the Utopias, I, too, am a huge fan of the Audeze house sound and suspect that I am going to love the LCD-4. I'm looking forward to Friday. :)

I'll check that out. Thanks for the link! :)

Thanks for your input, Roskodan. I can definitely relate to your thoughts on the LCD-2 Rev. 2 and the LCD-3. I owned the former for a few years and really enjoyed it with the V200/V800 stack, but I found the V200 to infuse the latter with a bit too much bass. Good to hear that the V200...

That’s awesome! :-) I am considering upgrading to them from my beloved LCD-3F. Any comparative insights you can share between the LCD-3F and the LCD-4? Also, what amp do you use with your LCD-4? (I auditioned Focal Utopia today, and, although they were quite impressive, in the end, I found...

Thanks very much for your input, Sir! This is great to hear.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if a Violectric V200 will adequately drive the LCD-4 200 ohm version? I have heard that my Chord Hugo 2 is incapable. Thanks, Jonathan

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if a Violectric V200 will adequately drive the LCD-4 200 ohm version? I have heard that my Chord Hugo 2 is not able to do so... Thanks, Jonathan

I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that the T1 is merely $869.95 shipped on Amazon at present.  The vendor is Sonic Sense.  What a blowout deal!
