Before I posted my TW2 case question here, I had emailed Shure customer service to ask the same question. I just heard back from Shure, and I'm copying and pasting Shure's response below in case anyone is interested. I thought it was kind of interesting. Mods, feel free to delete this post if it...

For any RMCE-TW2 owners out there, does the model number in the inside of your charging case say RMCE-TW1? I bought the TW2 directly from Shure, and I'm assuming they are using the TW1 charging case with the TW2s.

Thanks for the replies regarding using the cable over the ear. Is there a consensus that the Linum T2 Superbax is the best aftermarket cable for the SE846? Sadly Linum discontinued the MMCX version, but you can buy the T2-terminated version and then use Linum's T2 to MMCX adapter. Also, for...

Does everyone here actually loop the headphone cable up and over the ear? For the last 12 years that I have been wearing SE530/535s, other than a few times that I've tried to loop the cable over my ears, I always where the IEMs with the IEM stem/cable pointing down. I've been using Comply foam...

Thanks. I'm a first-time SE846 owner (I've had SE530s and then SE535s for over 10 years), and I just bought the Gen2. I don't mind the lack of a case because I bought the Pelican 1012 case from Amazon, and I'm also okay without the second cable because I'm considering getting a Linum Superbax...

If you buy a Gen1 from an authorized seller, does it still come with the box and extra cable? Or did Shure stop including both with the Gen1 sometime in the last few years? Also, some people have referred to the storage box as being glass. Is it actually glass or a hard plastic?

  Thanks for all the replies. I ended up returning my Emotiva B1 speakers and put my KEF q100s back into my desktop speaker setup. The KEFs don't have folded ribbon tweeters–which I might have found fatiguing–and sound just as good to my ears. I also ordered a Mimby last week and it is being...

  The Emotiva Flex Fusion is an integrated amplifier. What would adding a preamp do? Also, I use an Emotiva Control Freak passive preamp (It's basically just a massive volume knob) between my Modi 2 and Amp, which allows me to set the amp at a specific volume control, and then control my volume...

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on changing my headphone/desktop speaker setup:   Modi 2 Uber > Bottlehead Crack + Speedball > HD 650                      > Emotiva Fusion Flex (50 watt amplifier) > Emotiva Airmotiv B1 (http://emotiva.com/products/speakers/airmotiv-b1)   I...

The Toslink on the Big Ego is for output and not input. I'm looking for USB and Toslink inputs with an RCA output.   Also, the Audioengine D1 doesn't give manual control over the inputs, and it also doesn't use a power supply. I'd like to still be able to use a DAC with my optical input if the...

Thanks for chiming in, wnmnkh.   Do you think there would be any issue with running a 1/4" to RCA cable from the Big Ego output to my Bottlehead Crack? Is 1/4" to RCA just as high quality as RCA to RCA?   Thanks, Aaron

Does anyone have any recommendations of a DAC that has switchable USB and Toslink inputs, preferably under $200?   I currently have a Modi 2 hooked up to my laptop via USB, but I'd like to add a second Toslink input to use with my new desktop PC. I ordered a Modi 2 Uber, but the unit I...

Thanks guys.   I just ordered a Modi 2 Uber and I'm going to list my Modi 2 in the classifieds.   I'm still trying to figure out what monitors to get, so I'm going to hold off on getting splitters and a SYS.

Hey everyone,   I'm changing my desktop setup and I'm trying to figure out my best option.   My current setup is:   MacBook Pro USB > Schiit Modi 2 RCA > Bottlehead Crack   My new setup is going to add a Desktop PC and studio monitors, which might not have convenient volume control...

I'm going to try testing the headphone jack at 100% and see if it seems to clip as well. I also ordered an X3ii and will test the line-out feature. I have been excited about the X3ii because it has a dedicated line-out, but if it turns out the line-out doesn't work well in my car, it won't...
