I also just received my Bartok a week ago and going through burn-in. For the first week, I have found the resolution of the music to improve each day. Quite amazing. My next big question is how much improvement the Rossini Clock can make to the Bartok. Would very much look forward to hearing...

Gents, would appreciate your feedback. I have had my Dave for almost 2 years with no problems. A couple of days ago, for some reason the display suddenly turns yellow color. I turned off the unit and on again, but now the display flashes once and goes dark. The red LEDs inside the unit turns...

Thanks, soren_brix. From the designer himself! Very good guess, alcyst. Now all clear to me! Thanks.

Can anyone enlighten me as to how the name "Blue Hawaii" came about?

Thanks, Justin. Just what I needed to confirm my choice of Dark Silver is what I expected. Beautiful colors!!!

I put my order for a Dark Silver BHSE recently and would also like to see what that bluish tint looks like. Thanks.

For what this info is worth, I've learned that the startup time does depend on the line voltage, or the sufficiency of line voltage. My LAu is a 230V unit.  I had experienced longer than average startup- 4 mins to first white light and 20 secs to second white light. After checking with Alex...

Thanks all for feedback on your startup time!

  I am most impressed with my LAu just received a week ago and still going through burn-in.  I can imagine it will perform even more impressively after the process. I would like to check with new owners on how long the startup delay usually is with their LAu.  Mine is a 230V unit and upon...

Good news!  V2 upgrade program available for $650.   Go to Hifiman.com for details!!

Can anyone please advise where I can get replacement earpads and headband for the SR-009 headphone?  Mine are wearing out. Thanks.

Hi All,   I am a new owner of a Master-11.  Very impressed with initial sound quality impressions with my HEK.     Can an experienced M11 owner please clarify for me regarding the analog input shorting operation on the M11.   I have read the explanation in the website User Manual, but not...

Unfortunately still not back to normal in Hong Kong, contrary to what I hoped. Still had buffering problems today, less, but enough to make Tidal streaming not usable. I tried connecting through a VPN to the US, and it seemed to improve significantly.  So for now, this is the best way for me...

Glad to report that Tidal streaming seem to have improved significantly today.  No lengthy buffering/data loading situation, and back to its usual performance I had been used to. Hope it continues this way again!

Hope it is a localized issue and Tidal will sort out the dropouts and no data loading situation.  Yes, it started a few days ago. I tested connecting through a VPN link to the US and it seems to eliminate the dropouts. Keeping fingers crossed it is a temporary situation in Asia.
