I have a distortion problem with my right cup on high volumes. I thought this just was an overload thing, but now I start wondering when reading the above posts. I have the same problem with Mojo as with Jotuheim driving the Elears.

I think the misconception here is that USB delivers packets of data. To say that zeroes and ones are delivered over a cable (not talking about Toslink lightpulses) and not analog voltage representing those bits puts a smile on my face.

When reading some of these posts I understand that basic understanding of electronics is not something they teach in computer science lessons. What goes down a cable is not a bunch of Ones and Zeroes but a varying voltage (e.g. 5V TTL square pulse) that is NOT insensitive to variations in cable...

I hope that Jotunheim customers have studied the geometry particulars for the Elears prior to ordering any balanced cables that doesn't say 'Elear compatible'.

Are you running it balanced?

Just to say that sometimes my Elear breaks up when driven by the Mojo on moderate to loud levels. The source volume is set at 100%.

I am about to do it when my Jotunheim arrives end of this week - report will follow.

Thx. Just spoke with Wayne so we take it from thereof.

I am not sure if this implies that you have this cable for order?

From RMAF I read that Kimber makes an Axios version for the Elear. Probably very expensive when terminated with a 4pin XLR. I have not seen it in shops yet (preorder).  

Too bad Nordost doesn't make a balanced version, though. How did the BH fit the insert in the cans?

The reason for the DAC comment of mine was that Schiit apparently have reported a component shortage for their DAC module, delaying shipments. Which balanced cable did you land on?

Thanks :) I reckon it is the Jotunheim without the DAC module you have. Are you running the Elear's balanced from Jotunheim? Do you feel that the sound is full (I have heard that Jotunheim has the power, but might sound a little bright on the Elear's)? I am waiting for Jotunheim to drive my...

I just ordered the Beyer balanced cable for the Elear for use with the Schiit Jotunheim.

Thx. I would guess one small piece of vulcanization tape on the body of the mini jack might do wonders for additional strain relief.
