Focal Clear headphones
For me it wasn't cracking in the drivers of the radiance, but creaking on the frame of the left cup, I believe it was probably the return springs for the cups, which is another pet peeve of mine with focal headphones. I do get crackling on both of my LCDs when I first put them on, which I think...- Erick Muller

Focal Clear headphones
The amping requirements of Tungsten have been one of the main reasons I haven't bought one.... also the fact that's almost impossible to win the ModHouse lottery every month for the privilege of owning a Tungsten.- Erick Muller

Focal Clear headphones
Despite the problems that some times happen with focal drivers, I think the Clear offer something exceptional in the focal range of open back headphones, specially given that they may soon stopped being produce, being that I think only headphones.com sells them to the public, at least here from...- Erick Muller

Focal Clear headphones
It just happen one day, I think I was at the office using either my aune yuki or the shanling H5 and the right driver just stopped working, never had an issue with the radiance, there's was a creaking sound every time I adjusted the headphones to put them in my head, specifically on the left...- Erick Muller

Focal Clear headphones
Recently the right driver on my radiance gave off the ghost and I had to send it back to focal in the states, that was like 3 weeks ago, still waiting on news from the rep to see when I might expect them to get return to me, so it's still an issue.- Erick Muller

Focal Clear headphones
significantly better condition, just by looks I would go for the mg because the og clears seem to have a lot of miles on them, so the possibility that you inherit a problem goes up substantially.- Erick Muller

You'll definitively want to change those pads, I recommend the dekoni velour elite for focal hp, ask him if he can send you a video with the headphones playing music and just make sure both drivers are working and playing music.- Erick Muller

Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp
Yep, thx my dude, I already bought that cable and another one that apparently was design for the RU6, because I already tried a lightning to usb-c cable that came with the colibri and it didn't work, also I have the camera adapter for my iphone and the ru7 didn't even turn on, at least with the...- Erick Muller

Aune S17 pro
Another reason to closing the off the case as much as Aune did is to avoid issues with crap and dust getting and accumulating inside the amp, yep if you open up ventilation slits for the amp it cold regulate temps a lot better, but you also get into other issues.- Erick Muller

Aune S17 pro
I think this case was chosen because it's what they have for the higher end line of dacs and amps for some time now, a cost saving measure, you don't have to tool up for a brand new line to produce a bespoke case for the S17 if they have chosen a more optimal design for it, that simply...- Erick Muller

Aune S17 pro
Probably confuse it a little bit with the Aune S9C Pro amp/dac, which is an excellent product for the price also if you're looking for a all-in-one solution and don't want separates.- Erick Muller

EarMen Angel
Following up on my previous comment, I was surprise how well the Angel handle and drove my LCD-X, I know it's not the most demanding planar on the market, but man it does feels really close to an actual desktop system.- Erick Muller

Aune S17 pro
I'm very happy with my S17, that's why I have a really hard time deciding if I even want to upgrade, the only reason I would do so is for the ModHouse Tungsten and mostly out of fear of the S17 not having enough juice to power them to my satisfaction, but that's literally my only concern with...- Erick Muller
