    Almost entirely changed since last post (mind that was a couple of years ago I think!).

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

    Thanks for the confirmation. What a waste of time putting pre-outs on! Now I'm in a quandary - to "upgrade" to a Lyr 2 or start the path to a balanced system? :thinking:

    Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

    A bit off-topic but I'm not sure where else to ask this! Does anyone else use the Lyr as a pre-amp? I've recently added a power amp and 'speakers to my system (Bifrost Uber and Lyr) and it's been very noisy! I've tried different sets of tubes (Telefunkens, Philips and Mallards) but all sound...

    FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

    Thank you so much. It's very appreciated! Oh and, while I'm at it, if you've just joined: sorry for your wallet! I have looked at the Tuff-Luv but it's not exactly what I want. Ideally I want something shaped just like the FiiO case but with an additional cut-out. If I can't find a custom case...

    FiiO X7 | DXD | DSD | 384K/64B | ESS9018+ Android | WiFi | Bluetooth | 4 AMP modules | Balanced Out |

    Apologies if this has been answered but a rudimentary search didn't come up with anything! Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who makes custom leather DAP cases? I want a real leather case for my X7 like the tan FiiO one but with a cutout for the card slot (I change it a lot...

    The Best audiophile tracks to test equipment

    I was listening to Muddy's classic "Folk Singer" yesterday whilst walking the dog; 24/192 FLAC->FiiO X7->balanced out to->Shure SE846. I had a sudden "Oh yeah, this is what all the expense is about!" moment :-)

    Shanling M1: An iPod Nano Competitor / DAP || USB DAC || USB Transport || Bluetooth 4.0 + aptX || DSD

    I'm very happy with my combination of M1 piped out to Chord Mojo but does anyone do a nice braided cable (or just a soft cable) "off-the-shelf"?   I have a short cable (right angled plugs on both ends) from HK that does the job but the cable itself is quite stiff and I feel that it may...

    Shanling M1: An iPod Nano Competitor / DAP || USB DAC || USB Transport || Bluetooth 4.0 + aptX || DSD

      Cheers mate! That's a backup if I can't find anything else.   Ideally I'd like something shorter and available mail order but I can get to Maplin on Saturday if needs be

    Shanling M1: An iPod Nano Competitor / DAP || USB DAC || USB Transport || Bluetooth 4.0 + aptX || DSD

    Hi guys   I may be (probably) repeating a request but I'm struggling to find a definitive answer.   I apparently received my Chord Mojo this morning (I say apparently as I work away from home 4 days of the week) and realised I haven't ordered a cable to make it work with the M1. Where can I...

    Same crap, different hotel room (actually, I left all my Schiit at home!)

      Fully intended selling this gear - Matrix CUBE and HD700's - as it's been sitting around for a while. There's no doubt it's harsher than my normal home setup but it's so much better than anything I've used in an hotel before
