I just got my QP1R for two days. It's a great match for my K10U. But I have some uneven light leaking issues on the edge of the screen. Is there anybody else having the same problem? For such a small screen and high end device, I would definitely expect a better quality control for the screen. 

Exactly same as me... That's part why I can't understand why so many people want 192.... :)

999 seems to be excluding VAT

I mean this "problem" comes from nothing but the solution adds some cost. I could be wrong.

"•The reference power supply to the DAC is crucial, this is very low noise and low impedance, with individual references per channel" This is from the master class ppt. It seems chord has seriously considered the power problems. I read the aumacoustic. The problem of batteries is addressed...

Really thanks you guys for your kind words. I heard that th900 is more bass heavy. I used to like booming bass but now I prefer tighter ones. I'm not a particular crazy heavy metal fan. I like psychedelic/space rock more. As for Audeze, I think they cost much more than HD800, which could put me...

  It seems no one would like to help on this stupid question. Probably it's too silly to ask. I would really appreciate if someone who has both K3003 and HD800 with Hugo could give some impressions and suggestions. Thanks.

I think both are USB 2.0, but I am not sure. USB 1.1 is really unlikely to be seen on recently released devices, and USB 3.0 has different port.

It's the USB input for audio files of res higher than 48kHz, which does require a driver on windows.

It's great k3003 sounds good with hugo. Actually I've sold almost all of my digital gears and even some effects pedals to buy headphones coz I think I'm not strong enough to rob a bank...

Hi,   I am a poor college student and viewing this thread for long. I was using Westone W4 for the last 2 years and very satisfied until I step into this forum this year. I managed to sell my W4 and got a pair of used AKG K3003 recently but they feel a little bit uncomfortable for my tiny ear...

Has anyone tried K3003 with hugo? Will the ultra low 8 ohm impedance be a problem for its powerful amp? Many thanks.

No offence but I don't know why you got so serious about this. I post this because someone might care especially for those who are still thinking about getting it. I just want to justify false information.

Well I don't care either coz I don't own one. If the info on the internet are inconsistent, someone might think it's kinda cheating.  I just watched the interview again and realised he clearly said SNR is 140dB not THD.  So the info given in this post is a little bit...

Has anyone noticed the tech spec on Chord website?  I am no expert here but I think there might be some issues.  In the interview video with John Franks in Japan he claimed the total hormonic distortion was 140dB. But on their website: • THD – 1KHz 3V output: 0.0005% • Dynamic Range: 120dB...
