    Comment by 'Natronious' on listing 'Sony WM1A Walkman w/Sony case'

    Hi, could you give me an idea of how well the battery functions, about how you estimate that it can play continuously off of a single charge playing regular flac files? Approximately how long has this player been in use? Thanks

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    I appreciate the 'bow' Ray! I will remind you that you played a significant role in my ending up with both Dave and a Blu mkii. This from your excellent write ups. So you get all my bows (after Rob of course) in this thread! Triode caught me though, my situation is more along the lines of...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    And not to make it appear as if the blu and antipodes are being neglected, I'm 'auditioning' these little ebony discs that work on magic.

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    I have been instructed (based on listening tests) speaker wire should be 8' minimum for sound (timing?) reasons, and always the same length for both channels. Though admittedly the listening tests were not my own...

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    Yes, the buffer size does seem to be fixed. It is an useful tool to be able to try streaming Qobuz from alternate platforms, such as from their own webplayer, but my bed is pretty much made for me in my situation with regards to Roon (Antipodes server). I've only just gotten into computer audio...

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    Thanks for the quick response! This is a great idea, and it is proving to be helpful. Playing the same files through the webplayer is working much better. Initially, I was seeing some strange issues where the song will continue to play, and showing the buffer line extending beyond what is...

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    I've recently signed up for a Qobuz trial, using Roon and it's great...for the most part. I signed up for the Studio plan to include hi-res streaming, but I'm encountering issues with the higher resolution files playing properly. My internet speed test shows my connection to be at 10 mbps...

    Ultimate Ears UE Pro Reference Remastered! (UERR)

    The DX200 plays well with the UERR's strengths. I find it produces a very clear sound, well balanced, with great detail, texture, air, not dark. It is nice that you can try different amps as well. DX90 for a fraction of the cost sounds very good with these IEM's as well. The Mojo is very...

    Ultimate Ears UE Pro Reference Remastered! (UERR)

    I like the Ibasso DX200 + Chord Mojo (with attention to source, cable).

    Ultimate Ears UE Pro Reference Remastered! (UERR)

    I get what bowei is saying regarding sweat, etc. impacting CIEMs. While this is true, my experience is that sweat and movement adversely impact all headphone situations. One of my favorite things about using CIEMs when exercising, is that with movement, I don't have to fiddle with them and...

    Ultimate Ears UE PRO 18+ Discussions and Impressions

    I would say that listening to music through the bluetooth module is pretty good, certainly not bad. I just listened to some music now through bluetooth, and I find that the sound quality is surprisingly good! I rarely listen to music this way, as I take it for granted that the monitors will...

    Ultimate Ears UE PRO 18+ Discussions and Impressions

    Yes, I've been using my new bluetooth modules for the past week (UERR's). Previously, both my wife and I have been using these with the MMCX connectors which worked well for the most part, but we did experience issues with intermittent sound (sound cutting out to one channel). Mostly, this could...

    Ultimate Ears UE Pro Reference Remastered! (UERR)

    I received my monitors back today with the new IPX cable system. So far my initial impression is that I like the new cable. I am definitely happy with the new connectors, they are great. I am pretty happy that they are much less prone to any issue of intermittent sound. As for the sound, they...

    Chord Electronics - Blu Mk. 2 - The Official Thread

    Hey Bud, there has been much discussion regarding the digital cables used to connect Blu 2 with DAVE. There is quite a lot to sort through, and comments range from there being no need to pay attention to which cables used because these components together already offer sound beyond what is...
