I got my new-to-me DAC8 Stereo late last week from the "bay of fleas." I really never thought I'd find one used in good shape, much less the streaming version. So, I am happily surprised. Tonight I got the microSD card formatted correctly for the Raspberry Pi and am listening to my collection...

Sennheiser has officially split and spun off their consumer division, which includes headphones. Does anyone know where to source the driver part (System 300R / part #091570) in the US? I've been looking for the better part of an hour with no luck stateside. I need one of my HD 600 pairs back in...

Polypterus clearly takes care of their gear, shipped carefully & quickly, everything arrived as described, and excellent communications throughout. A+!

Excellent communications from the start to the end, patiently waited for my payment to clear, shipped quickly & carefully, DAC works great. Thanks!

I'd love to attend but between work and family (Sunday is fathers day!), I can only spare maybe a couple of hours on Saturday. Would it be worth it?

Looks like Neumann released an open version of the NDH-20, the NDH-30: https://en-de.neumann.com/ndh-30 For anyone interested in music listening vs production, you're out of luck: it's the same concept. "Reference-class open-back studio headphone for editing, mixing, and mastering" I bought a...

I had the same impression. There were many more manufacturers at the last show back in 2019. They occupied a good portion of the exhibit hall. I like that it's isolated from the rest of the show now, but the numbers sure were down. Although it's extremely difficult to compare apples to apples...

I had to keep it short today, and missed out on listening to any headphones save for Shure's KSE1500 electrostatic in ears(!). They sound very good, at least on the track I heard. They didn't have a USB-C to micro-USB cable handy at their table, so I couldn't listen to anything from my Android...

Also living in Chicago, I've been a couple times. I can only go on Friday this year, but that's better than nothing! My weakness in the past has been that open exhibits area where all the headphone manufacturers are as well as the LPs and SACDs for sale.

Yes, sorta. They're in Berwyn. I don't think they have a showroom, but you can see a video of their operations here

All three solid. And (it's not in front of me at the moment) I believe the USB charging LED does not come on. I'll plug it in tonight & leave it overnight, but don't have high hopes for the little guy.

I have a Mojo that seems dead. All three LEDs go white when connected to power, but no output whatsoever. I tried again with the battery disconnected but there was no change. Any suggestions of what might be wrong? I searched up and down this thread and the whole site, coming up with nothing...

Unfortunately according to an employee there, they are no longer servicing the Mojo. Mine won't power on with or without battery, and only shows all marbles as white when connected to power.

Same experience here in terms of driving them with a balanced headphone amp. I bought a custom cable I like from Periapt Cables - https://periaptcables.com/ The company was recommended either somewhere here or on the MassDrop forum.

If the program's still active, I'm very interested in auditioning these!
