    Sony WH-1000XM4 discussion and reviews

    Hi, I have a problem and I'm trying to trouble shoot. I have a pair of these, but recently lost the supplied cable and bought a new one from a different manufacturer. It's the right kind of cable and it should work, but for some reason it doesn't. Will these headphones only work with the...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thanks for the reply, Adrian. I could ask my sister in the UK if she could help me out with this, I guess. So she would make an account in her name, then I transfer money to her. I guess that could work if she's up for it. It's so frustrating not to have Qobuz. Qobuz has a lot of Greek artists -...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    How did you manage to do this? I also live in a blocked region, and tried to get it to work, but couldn't, because I couldn't pay for it. Qobuz recognises that my card/PayPal is from an unsupported country, and won't accept it. If anyone knows a get-around for this, please let me know.

    Prog rock

    I love prog rock. I listen to 70s bands like Genesis, Yes, early King Crimson, Caravan, Gentle Giant, Camel, all the usual suspects but also some more recent ones such as Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, Big Big Train, The Tangent. A lot of bands from the Norwegian prog scene - Wobbler, Jordsjo...

    Do you listen to music/songs not in English?

    I listen to music in any language. I particularly like folk rock / progressive folk from all round the world.

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thanks, this is useful. The model I'm interested in is the 505uxII, an older model. Listening before buying is great advice, something one should always do, but work/time constraints and geography make it difficult for me to do this, though I could buy from a seller who accepts returns. Is...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    I'm looking for an integrated amplifier to use in my speaker set up with the DAVE, when I get it. I'm currently using tubes Tsakiridis Devices), but have decided to move to solid state. I have Harbeth HL5+ speakers and a Rega P6 turntable. I'm leaning heavily towards Luxman 505uxII or 507z...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Yeah, the DAVE, even used, will take a huge chunk out of my budget. I'll then need to save up some more for further upgrades. I needd a new amplifier too, and that will get priority. Thinking of maybe a Luxman integrated, 505uxII or L-507. I currently have a tube amplifier that I bought in...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thanks, I hadn't considered Grados, but I'll certainly look into those. Yes, mainly rock/prog rock. That's what I'm looking for, a good all rounder for a variety of different styles. I don't have the finance to have multiple pairs of headphones for different styles and many people here do, so...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thanks. I've read good reviews and opinions about each of these headphones, they seem to be highly regarded. What about Meze Audio Empyrean or Elite? I listen to mainly rock/prog rock, sometimes metal or hard rock, folk/folk rock, psychedelic rock, jazz rock. I've looking for a good...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Hi all, I'm a new member. I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to introduce myself. I'm currently upgrading a lot of my vintage or very basic audio gear. I've got my analogue system set up and I'm now upgrading my digital gear. I need a new DAC and I'm now in the market for a...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hi, a newbie here to the world of headfi. I'm hoping soon to purchase a used Chord DAVE, or failing that, Hugo TT2, and eventually an M Scaler. I'm also looking to see what headphones would be a good match for the DAVE.
