    Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    You could also get an usb to optical or coaxial converter. I’ve even used one with an iPad for Apple Music. Not sure if read this right but thought I saw usb input support coming from the streaming board manufacturer. This was listed with their Tidal Max update. But it’s up to Naim in the end...

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    Do you care to explain what it is you normally don’t like about planars? Besides the Caldera open, I only owned the DCA Expanse and they had completely different sound profile. I don’t have a clear grasp of what planers normally sound like. I got to hear the Susvara at CanJam and didn’t care...

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    Don’t delete the posts about actual caldera facts. I think it’s relevant because we were talking about design elements and the caldera is the inspiration. And stupid me didn’t even realize that Crater Lake was from a volcano. I thought it was from some meteor that hit long ago and left the...

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    I don’t think I’ve seen a pic with them being worn. But does the triangle point upwards so it’s like the volcano exploding? Is that the concept here? I don’t think I’ll change my mind on the burnt edge ones but open to see what other woods will bring to this shape. I also need to make sure I...

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    Yeah, this looks pretty good. I do get just using round cups would make every close ZMF look the same. I didn’t know about the symbols and letters on the headband, so at last CanJam, kept asking what headphone was what. They all looked the same to me. I guess I’m just trying to figure out why...

    Speaking of Eames copycats 🤪 The cat is real but Eames chair is not. My dad gave me this 1970’s Sears knockoff.

    Is the custom shop still planned for this year?

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    I think I can go either way on a closed design. Owned the closed AT L3000 for about 12 years and loved its sound, especially the bass and mids. It wasn’t until a heard a Grado again that I craved an open headphone. So for the Caldera open has reminded me the most of the L3000. The bass is...

    ZMF Caldera Closed

    Yeah, I’m not sold on this look at least based on all the pictures. Hoping in person and with different woods my opinion might change. I know this was also to help give a more unique look than continuing to use round cups. I was kind of hoping for some advanced laser etching design similar to...

    Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    There is no button on the remote or way to do this in the app. Sadly, the only other way to switch is if you remove the headphones from the front jacks. If you use XLR, you have to manual change as well.

    ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!

    The comment about bad 80’s music is a great point. I find the Calders makes my whole library a pleasure to listen to. The bad recording are not magically transformed but they’re fun and enjoyable. The better recording sound amazing. Some headphones it seems just don’t play nice with bad...

    Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    The power cable should firmly fit all the way into the socket. The socket itself wiggles within the unit. Might have something to do with vibration control, not sure. The fuse is hidden within the socket and even contains a spare fuse. You should only replace with the same type of fuse. I have...

    Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    And this has been mentioned before but if really like the all in one feature, can compromise and add a headphone amp more suitable for the Atrium. Just use the HE as a preamp and can take advantage of the streaming and volume control. Just hope the issue wasn’t the sound of the Dac that you...

    Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    This had already been discussed. The HE sounds great across a variety of headphones. Not sure if Atrium is just a one off or it’s the 300 ohms that’s causing trouble. I’ve only used headphones less than the 100 ohms with great success. When I tried my Caldera out of a number of setups, nothing...

    Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    I haven’t heard the Stealth on the Naim HE but I personally didn’t like the Stealth on other setups. It’s technically amazing but lacked some warmth and was too analytical for my tastes. It wasn’t dynamic sounding like the Utopia or Caldera. The Utopia is the most exciting headphone I’ve heard...
