    Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews

    Can anyone explain the SE100 EQ functionality to me? When I create a new preset and before I make any edits to the curve, shouldn't there be no change in the sound (yet)? For instance, if I add a preset, and name it "test" but I do not move any of the sliders yet, wouldn't this be "flat" and...

    QDC - Discussion and Impressions Thread

    This is the exact upgrade I made about 5 months ago. There is really no comparison between the two in my opinion. The VX is more balanced, more musical, and a lot more comfortable. I have no regrets on making this upgrade. Hope that helps.

    QDC - Discussion and Impressions Thread

    Hoping for some advice. I love my Anole VX universals. I pair them with a SE100 DAP. I like how balanced they sound with all switches OFF. I've played around with EQ in the DAP but I'm in over my head. I like that I can tame things and reduce ear fatigue, but the music loses some...

    QDC - Discussion and Impressions Thread

    "Yeah I also use DFN from Luminox and they are a bit thick and stiff side. So I bought 85-Filter on top. they are lighter and more pliant. Let us know if removal of wire went successful." I'm interested in upgrading the cable on my Anole VX universals. I see the comments on Luminox DFN being...

    What do you listen to Phish/Grateful Dead live recordings with?

    Oppo PM3 has worked well for me for a little more $. I have some higher end headphones and amps and i've found some great combos for live soundboard recordings. I'd love to hear what anyone else has found to pair well with live recordings.

    Largest diameter Foam Tips for Noble Kaiser 10U?

    Hi,   I use Noble Kaiser 10U with Comply Foam tips Comfort 500 in Large but they still don't give me a great seal inside my ear canal.  I've also tried the Comply 500 Isolation and Sport models in Large but they have a similar fit.  Does anyone know a specific tip that would be wider or...

    AURALiC owners unite!

    Hi.   Are any VEGA owners able to use the exact clock mode without any dropouts?  If so, can you skip around different tracks at different resolutions and formats (FLAC, DSF, etc) without dropouts?  Even after letting a 24bit FLAC file run on repeat for hours I can't then skip around tracks of...

    AURALiC owners unite!

    Hi thanks for the replies.  Which cables are you referring to when you say the cables may be crossed?  As for the USB cable quality, I am using AudioQuest Diamond cable and i have also tried a few others and the results are consistent.    As far as cables being crossed, are you referring the...

    AURALiC owners unite!

    Is everyone using their VEGA's in "Exact" clock mode? I am trying to and it certainly sounds better in this setting.  My issue is that with my mac book pro I would get occasional dropouts in sound and frequent static like sounds in exact mode.  I don't get them at all in Auto clock mode but the...

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    I finally switched to balanced cables by adding AudioQuest Niagra balanced XLR's from my NAD M51 to my Bryston BHA-1.  Both my LCD-3's and Alpha Dogs use balanced cables as well and both have never sounded better.  I also replaced the power cables for the whole system with AudiQuest NRG-4...

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    I have this combo as well.  I really enjoy the LCD-3's with the Bryston.  I predominantly use the NAD M51 DAC with that combo and I am very pleased with the performance.  I also have a pair of Mr. Speaker Alpha Dogs that I use but I find the LCD-3's to be far superior (as one would expect).    ...
