Interesting... I believe the same happens to me as well though until now I never made the connection with the headphones.

So they fixed the audible pop on opening of audio streams and the fix isn't a firmware fix but a hardware fix? Isn't that called a design defect that really should be recalled for a $7k+ component?

Musical Origami... What ?!

To me the XC always sounded a lot more 'fun' than the X with a punchier bass and a more dub-step type groove. The X though I would consider closer to 'reference' sounding. I used to use my XC at work to block the room noise and X at home both on WA7 tube amps. Today I used the MX4 at home on...

Curious if there have been any generational changes made to the MX4 similar to the X/XC changes they've made in time? I have had my MX4 for maybe 3 years now (replaced my X & XC) and wondering if the most recent MX4 are any different?

Since my local service won't do it I managed to get the updater and upgrade it myself. Took about 30 seconds all in, maybe less but I had to answer a phone call in the middle. So turns out the latest version is actually 1.03, not 1.04 as I was originally told. Additionally the latest firmware...

Latest firmware is 1.04 according to McIntosh and it requires upgrade from a service center which is quoting me $80 just to look at it and a month to perform the upgrade. This is nuts. Excuse is too many users were bricking the devices. I'm sorry but as a firmware engineer I can safely say...

After purchasing a D1100 I can now confirm it does not have the same dodgy volume debounce issues as the D100 has. What is the latest firmware version? I bought it used and it came with 1.01. Sound is the same as the D100, not really any better but the volume control is so much smoother it's...

My D100 USB got super dodgy for like a week and over the past few days seems to have fixed itself? I'm starting to think it's USB bus clock (oscillator) is probably starting to drift out of spec but it's been stable for a few days again so really not sure. In any case I think it's probably...

yep got mine during the same sale... pound for price they are pretty hard to beat.

My D100 USB input just kicked the can or at least upon turning on the D100 it briefly shows as an audio device on my mac before disappearing again 1 second later never to return. Not sure what the problem is. You can see it connect and then immediately disconnect. Looking at the system...

Is a really great headphone especially if you picked it up during it's annual sale.

Yeah I had repeated poor customer service experiences with a few Woo products before deciding they were not worth the hassle.

I posted one in this thread a few times... scroll back

Love them... best headphones in my collection especially after Sonarworks custom calibration. Probably will remain that way at least until I finally get the HE-1s.
