Sennheiser IE 80 S impression thread
My IE80s is pretty source picky. I owned the original IE80 and I was pretty happy with it, before I blew it up with my Chord Mojo which by accident I put into line out mode !! but that is another sorry. I used my old IE80 with the manual bass setting to minimum and I was happy. Good bass was...- elgringo81

Meet the Sennheiser IE 80 S
Can someone tell me if IE80S users the same cable as the old IE80? I am asking because I have a set of broken/exploded IE80 and a Toxic cable to go with them. I want to continue using the cable in case I buy the new IE80S. Thanks.- elgringo81

Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
I will not buy a Chord product again. I have both Mojo and 2Qute and I have DSD dropout on 2 Roon endpoints and I have experienced the same with other linux flavors.

Can it be that my MF M1DAC (Balanced) sounds better then my 2Qute (Unbalanced) when I use SMS-200 as source?

I am 35 years old and I can hear up to 14500Hz. I clean my ears regularly, just like the rest of you...- elgringo81

Sennheiser HDVA 600 headphone amp
I have been for 1 hour with my HDVA600 that I am pairing with my 2Qute and HD800S. ... Wow ... There is a huge difference coming from my old MF M1HPAP workhorse. I have a balanced MF M1DAC and V-LINK 192 so I will just build some XLRs to see if it will outperform the (Unbalanced) 2Qute...- elgringo81

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Just saw this and wanted to share it. I guess in Netherlands it does not matter how you turn the HD800. https://www.hifi.nl/artikel/20421/NAVD-primeur-Hoofdtelefoonversterkers-Sennheiser.html- elgringo81
