Is it enough to just enable DirectSDM in HQP for PGGB DSD file playback? And retain all the other settings for PCM sources to use HQP DSD upsampling? Or do I need to adjust other things too?

Is the Black Friday code advertised on the website over? I tried on a clearance cable and it said the code is expired but the date advertised is tomorrow?

I was going to try to buy the BW VO but didn’t try to wake up early. Bit of a coping mechanism because what I really am hoping for is to see a Macassar VO one day for sale. As far as I know I don’t think one has ever been built. Both Atriums and Calderas and the VC have Macassar models I believe.

Looks awesome! When I can convince my wife to move to my hometown I'll be attending these!

In terms of pricing, the JAR800 should be considered not as a mod but in comparison to the very best headphones in existence. I think it's better than the Immanis, but I also have a purpose built amp to drive the JAR800 into the stratosphere. It is amazing what Jupiter has done with v3. I...

Is there a suede Caldera pad recommended for neutral presentation? I think, but not sure, that the Be2 suedes were the most linear pads prior to the introduction of the Caldera pads. Looking for something akin to what the Caldera suedes do for the Atrium Closed.

Good communication, prompt and well packed shipment. Trusted seller.

Excellent, reliable seller! Prompt communication, well packed and shipped as promised. Complete recommendation.

A+ Head-Fier. Very informative communication, timely post-sale discussion, and friendly. Well packed, prompt international shipment. Highly recommended for trades.

You might also consider an Atrium Open if customized treble attenuation is the goal. The meshes do exactly that with little other effect, IMO. You may like the AO with the solid mesh.

I have a Trion here in the US if anyone is interested. It is a mk1. It's a great headphone, I just have moved to the JAR800 as my primary, and the amping requirements are very different between the two so I don't have anything that optimizes it. PM me if you want to discuss buying it.

Those are nice. I really like the SS grill on the Atrium.

I'm in Sugar Land and usually happy to host impromptu meets of 3-4 people. I've done it a few times. If anyone wants to come over and listen a lot of my gear is in my signature (and some that I don't use is not). I'm fully networked with Roon/UPnP Qobuz with 3 full chains in the house so it...

I've been a long time member with 2FA enabled on my account for at least a year but can't post classified ads. Is there some setting I'm missing?

Any impressions on the Caldera Ultraperf Suedes?
