Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
Thanks for your insight and great replies - I was going to purchase blind, but think I'll have to demo first. Hopefully not too much is lost in lossless, the Naim otherwise checks all the right boxes for me.- ChrisSC

Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
Sorry, if I wasn’t clear earlier, yes, I get that the fault lies with Apple. Interesting insight that they did so because of bandwidth concerns. By any chance, have you been able to a/b lossy vs. lossless on the Naim? If so, is there a noticeable drop in sound quality?- ChrisSC

Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
Bummer indeed - was hoping for a clean and simple setup, but of course that's not possible, because why would anything headphone-related ever be easy? At least it seems that lossless is just a firmware update away, and hopefully sooner rather than later.- ChrisSC

Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
Seriously thinking about buying this product, but have a quick question that hopefully an owner can answer: If I play songs via Apple Music app on an iPad, will Atom stream lossy or lossless?- ChrisSC

I really like those matte wood faceplates - totally unique and I don't think I've seen them done on IEMs before.- ChrisSC

Light Harmonic Geek Wave
...Wasn't that what the Geekwave was supposed to be? I know this is all bull, but if it weren't, shouldn't Larry put all his time and energy into making that player to give to Geekwave backers instead? Again, and I can't stress this enough, this is merely a thought exercise because nothing's...- ChrisSC

:ksc75smile: Agreed- how these companies can internalize the amps required to drive electrostats in something the size of a snail shell would be groundbreaking enough, but then getting them to play nice with drivers that have different amp requirements while avoiding phase issues seems more...- ChrisSC

If you sued Larry Ho, you could at least take his deposition and force him to tell us under penalty of perjury what work if any he’s actually done.- ChrisSC

Light Harmonic Geek Wave
It’s naive to think that the charlatan who’s kept your money for 4+ years would willingly give it back. Larry’s earned an “F” rating on BBB and continues to ignore a constant barrage of legitimate complaints here and on his own forum- it’s clear that he does not give a f*ck about fixing the...- ChrisSC

Anyone know what the largest micro sd card can be used with the ak380? My sandisk 400gb card keeps getting read as "damaged."- ChrisSC

Is that an Abyss AB-1266 Phi hooked up to a Schitt Ragnarok/Yggdrasil stack in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?- ChrisSC
