    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Hey guys - I got a brand new Poly streamer for my mojo2, but I don’t seem to have the option to use it as a streamer (missing Roon, and “other music services” in the settings). Has anyone seen this before? Anyone know a fix? It came with Firmware V3.2.1 out of the box.

    ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.

    ...Just put in an order for Verite pads. Thanks @zach915m . Anyway, I feel like my biggest concerns right now don't really have anything to do with the sound signature (I think). The music seems to come through as a gloop without any separation, and a bit glary if I put the volume higher. I...

    ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.

    Original Post: Answering replies (out of order, sorry): Thanks, and Good question - and I've wrestled with it. Couple of reasons: 1) Space - We live in a one bedroom 750sf apartment in NYC. 2) The hugo2/2go solution meant not having to worry about cables, power supplies, multiple boxes...

    ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.

    Just got my VCs in today - I’m hoping burning them in will improve the sound quality. Out of the box using the stock single ended cable, mids/vocals sound *slightly* like I’m hearing them through a wall, like in the next room, very slightly muffled. There is also barely any instrument...

    Etymotic HF5s sound better than Westone 3s. Comments?

    Simply put: Although the W3s have a HUGE and more expansive sound stage, my pair of HF5s are still more detailed and less sibilant, and to a significant degree. At three times the price of the HF5s, shouldn't the W3s dominate in all measures of sound quality? I feel like the the HF5s are like...
