    Beyerdynamic Xelento!

    I have these - https://campfireaudio.com/shop/campfire-audio-pure-silver-litz-cable/ on both Gen1 & 2 Xelentos. To my ears ,they take them to another level and are an excellent match.I'm using them with Sony WM1A & Z on 4.4 balanced.I had a slight fit problem with the MMCX connectors,occasional...

    Could my issue be something to do with a "Boot loop?" I don't understand fully what one is ,but it seems to apply to fw updates for music players? Thanks!

    I only have Mac. It seems too much of a coincidence that the unit was working fine before my update attempt. Everything lights up ,input and output indicators fine ,just no sound.

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    Last week ,I attempted to upgrade the software on one my TAs from 1.0 to 1.03. It wouldn't allow me to update ,and after various feedback from other forum members ,I decided to give up on the idea. I tried to use the unit just now , and no sound at all! Everything lights up fine. We've swapped...

    Is there a substantial difference in SQ between fw 1.00 and fw 1.03? I'm having difficulty in downloading the 1.03 using a MacBook. Thanks!

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    I was so impressed with the first TA ,which was bought purely for IEM use , when it came to setting up a main system with a preamp/dac section , a second TA was a no brainer. I've had Chord dacs and fancy Naim systems ,etc...There's something about the Sony Signature kit which feels really...

    I have two Ta units.One is used as a stand alone amp/dac paired with a Sony WMZ1 and various IEMs. The other is in a main system with a Melco N100 music server plus Elac active speakers. The Ta excels in both applications!

    Hi - I know I'm late to the party , but I've only just picked up on there having been a software update for the Ta.. Any idea how to go about installing the new software? Many thanks!

    Many thanks for both replies. The TA sounds great to my ears , plus , I only use IEMs , ier Z1s , Xelentos v1 + v2 , and Atlas , and I have 70 year old ears!! Just an itch that needed to be scratched!

    The Official Sony TA-ZH1ES Hi-Res Headphone Amplifier (Live From IFA 2016)

    I have a couple of ta zh1es units. I bought the first one simply as a headphone amp / dac , and was so impressed , bought a second to use in an active speaker system. I couldn't be happier with the way both units carry out their respective purpose. I'm a cable and power supply believer , as in...

    Beyerdynamic Xelento!

    I contacted Beyerdynamic Customer Services a week ago asking for advice on how to fit a new filter. I've not had a reply , which for a €999 product is pretty shoddy in my book. Xelento v2 is a very special IEM , but the shopping experience via Beyerdynamic EU has not been a good one. A great...

    Beyerdynamic Xelento!

    Thank you!! Your experience corresponds exactly with what my son suggested. I assumed it would be a simple click fit. Again, many thanks!

    Beyerdynamic Xelento!

    Has anyone had experience with replacing the wax guards on either Xelento? I've had the Xelento v1 for 4 years and not had a problem. On the new v2 the mesh somehow separated from the black plastic frame. I managed to remove the frame. I have 4 spare wax guards , 2 from v1 and the 2 that came...
