Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP
Well, you mention my two biggest concerns with the poly, the price and the controversy surrounding it. I’m not surprised that they have ironed out the early issues it had but the price still puts it in a very complicated bracket for me. I’m more inclined to take a chance with the R3 for now and...- HerrWallen

Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP
Well, to be honest, I can't say I thought about it that way. Thank you for the suggestion! How does this handle an app like Youtube where I want to display the video on the iPhone but stream the sound to the R3? Would there be any other concerns? Battery-wise, which is more efficient (WiFi vs...- HerrWallen

Hiby R3 Pro Portable Bluetooth DAP
Hi, Apologies if this has been asked and answered numerous times, I have searched the thread for "transport" but still haven't quite found the info I need. Question 1: I'm looking for a good transport to combine with a Chord Mojo, this seems to works just fine both via USB and Coax. What I...- HerrWallen

Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread
Thank you for pitching in, I was hoping that the upgrade would be noticeable quality-wise but was afraid I'd lose out on the signature. That leaves me with allocating the funds, this adventure never ends :k701smile:- HerrWallen

Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread
Hello all, I recently stumbled upon a used R2R-11 and couldn't resist. One hour in, I was in LOVE!. That slightly "thicker" and smoother signature is addicting to say the least and it pairs so well with most of my gear. I also happen to have a NFB-1AMP hooked to a balanced AKM D-S dac but...- HerrWallen

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
Would love to hear some comparisons when you have had some time with the Ares. I'm rather fond of my HD-Dac1 but have been thinking about trying either the Ares or the Bitfrost2- HerrWallen

Yes, that I can but AFAIK Dan Clark Audio is located in the US, I was wondering if there is a european retailer that carries them.- HerrWallen

MrSpeakers AEON Flow Open - Impressions Thread
Yes, that was the first thing I tried actually; pulling/massaging the foam back to shape. They seem to return to a warped shape almost directly, with a hotspot-like pressure build-up around my earlobe as an result. And, just to clarify, this might be down to the somewhat odd shape of my head, I...- HerrWallen

MrSpeakers AEON Flow Open - Impressions Thread
Hi, found a pair of AFO's used and I have been blown away by the sound of them from the first listen! I do suspect the right ear pad to be in need of a replacement since it seems to compress more than the other, do anyone know if these are available for purchase in europe?- HerrWallen

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
Any problems with DSD reported? Pops, noise etc? I'm basically down to a choice between the Audio-GD R2R R-1 and this one but with all the reports about problems with DSD in the Audio-GD thread, I'm leaning towards the Ares ..- HerrWallen

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
I would also love to hear some impressions, especially NOS vs OS. Also, I have been looking for a stand-alone dac and is currently beeing torn between this, the Soekris 1541 and the Audio-GD R2R R1: my "want" is something that plays well with the Audio-GD NFB 1Amp and a pair of HD800S and LCD2F...- HerrWallen

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!
Sorry if this already have been asked and answered: do the M1 wired share cable with the M2 wired? I have ordered a pair of wired M2s (b-stock) and they only seem to come with inline mic which I don't want. I have found a regular straight one for the M1 and was hoping I use that instead. Thanks...- HerrWallen

HIBY R6 - DAP Dual DAC Balanced Out - Great Reviews and Over 500% Funded @ Indiegogo!
Backer #1269, recieved my grey alu today. Very impressed with what Hiby has created altough I found a QC-issue with mine, the screen has a "shadow" (dust beneath the glass?) just above where the Android home button sits. Nothing that really inhibits use, just slightly annoying. Otherwise I'm...- HerrWallen
