I’ll be blunt to say that the OG is a tad bit dry compared to the more energetic Noir. So OG give that impression of details.

I was actually convinced the ventilation is just a novelty factor (which I really like), it seal very tight in my ears.

Went to canjam in singapore recently and bought Ampersand straight away after short demo with Raal immanis and Michael is a great guy to talk with, but i’ve just realized I don’t have 4.4mm IC cable 🫠

Been using T71 for a while but I wanted T71 to feed my iBasso PB5 tubes amp as a standalone DAC / Line out, is this possible?

Curious questions: why is the stainless steel version rarely found here? is it because the Ti version is around?

PB5 really prone to RF interferences, i would put my smartphone in distance to avoid the interference.

Would love to see / hear the comparison between this and C9

I want to express my thoughts constructively, but the Taipan feels somewhat like an oversized portable USB DAC, lacking the expected power despite having separate volume controls for the DAC and amp, reminiscent of the Max series. Sonically, it's a notable upgrade from the Cayin RU7, offering a...

Today, I had the opportunity to test out the Osprey, Taipan, and DX260 in my local store. I was particularly impressed with the Osprey. If it's indeed an amp derived from the DX320 Max Ti with Korg Nutubes embedded, I'm excited to give the DX320 Max Ti a try. My initial impression toward osprey...

I’m bad with throwing impressions and benchmarking, but one least noticeable aspect is the soundstage. GM features a toggle to adjust vocal proximity, which is unique. The multiverse mentor feels more spacious, with distinct layers of details. Overall, both are on the summit fi level, and that's...

I done the update via OTA as well, on the latest firmware while playing music, switching on / off ultimate mode affect the sound directly, as if the cymbals suddenly has lower sound and lack of dynamics when ultimate mode turned on.

Last weekend, I attended Portafest Akihabara in order to try out for Diva & Annihilator 2023. Although I did not have my IEM with me to compare, Diva and Annihilator kept me enthralled throughout the day— Particularly Diva. Is my U12T being sidegraded by this?

Downgrade is pretty easy for me, but you might encounter anomaly like xenithon, finger crossed.

I’ll be testing it today too, i downgraded the latest firmware to stock yesterday.

i give the latest firmware (2.022.131 via OTA) a try, using the same playlist, D1 filter, volume, gain and ultimate mode now everything sound boomy compared to the stock firmware (1.03.209) but the good thing is UI become smoother and night mode is there.

Have you done this? was it the best FW for DX 300 Max?

I recently discovered that Bathys has volume control when connected via 3.5mm stereo input. Does this imply that Bathys's built-in amp/dsp can handle line input? Will the A70 Pro desktop amplifier experience double amping if I connect this to it? Also, Bathys sound the best when it was paired...

Any idea how to set this up? Everytime i set the HPA output to IND, it disabled the XLR and 4.4mm, only 6.35mm output work How to switch to different HPA output?

Does Focal Bathys accept balanced cable? I still have not received a response. 3.5mm (4 poles) to 4.4mm? I still have some Sony MDR-1A 3.5mm to 4.4mm cables lying around.

With assistance from my friend, the Bathys (from AddictedtoAudio AU) have finally touched down. Perfect timing for a trip! Quick question tho, does Bathys support balanced cable like Sony MDR-MV1?

Can confirm this is working

I'm using iFi iDefender+, there is a side usb c port that you can connect to DC adapter or powerbank to help the power distribution, eliminating the need to use a hub.

I tried the Line Out mode with my android phone and Mest MKII, i was surprised how drastic the difference in airiness, it feel more spacious than Phone out mode, and yes the bass section also improved. The only downside i noticed that upper treble suffered loss of definition, sometime i can feel...

I uninstalled and re-install the driver and tweak the settings in F2K (changing channel mapping in ASIO output); it worked for a while. but after restarting Windows, the same problem persists. I'm not sure if this happened to anyone else, but I never had any ASIO or driver problems with my...

Hol up, LO mode technically Line out mode right? as if the device will crank it to 100% volume?
