Astell&Kern Launches USB-C Dual DAC Cable
Just received mine yesterday. May I ask should the DAC run hot after 10-15 mins of use? what is the expected temperature level coming from a portable Dac usually? I'm using it with the S21 and spotify.- cas33

Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
Perhaps I've done more than contacting. I could see some layer of plastic moving as I inserted the tip of loop tool into the small bore. Maybe the edge of plastic tube moved about 1mm?- cas33

So only the metal-like component right? Will slightly nudging the plastic tube be fine? I've had quite some build up in the canal and I've unintentionally nudged the edge of the tube a couple of times while using the loop/brush tool Pardon my paranoia- cas33

Hey Noble Besides the provided loop + brush cleaning tool, do you recommend using hearing aid cleaners (vacuum/heater, etc) like the jodi-vac pro, to clean out the ear wax out of the canals? Currently using the K10C.- cas33

The Opamp thread
Is there a reason why people don't pair muse 01 and muse 02 together in a 2 slot I / V configuration? Do Jfet and Bjt compromise each other?- cas33

Sennheiser HD800 or Beyerdynamic T1?
you can also look into swapping the op-amps in your stx cards before venturing into amp investments: http://www.head-fi.org/t/421890/the-xonar-essence-stx-q-a-tweaking-impressions-thread I've recently swapped out the stock opamps and went premium with the muses. It definitely made a difference- cas33

Those prices are screaming fakes. A used muses01/02 are found near the $30 mark. It is generally risky to be ordering electrical parts from Taobao. Mouser electronics/ more research could be a good source to check for price references.- cas33
