Cannot have open back because all my family have a better hearing than me. They all can hear what I am listening to from like two rooms away when I am in open-backs :)

I removed the mesh, and it changed the sound so dramatically! I can hardly believe the difference. The sound became almost too bright but much more pleasant for me. There's no longer an "echo" in the bass. I listened to headphones for six hours straight yesterday and again this morning for a...

I followed a post on Audio Science Review for EQ settings and tweaked them a bit for noticeably better results. While I still don’t hear voices as clearly as with the Elegia, the sound is no longer muted, and the bass is much better. I spent half the day today listening to all kinds of music...

How does Lensys compare to Elegia?

I got a pair of Bokeh headphones a few days ago. They look amazing, but I didn’t like how they sounded from the start. Maybe it’s just my hearing or personal preference, but voices sounded muffled and unclear. The bass was hard to describe - it is fine on some music, and feels like it produces...

I had high hopes to use dac volume dial for speakers, and headphone volume dial for headphones but nope, it does not seem possible. DAC cannot control output channels separately. Otherwise it is a nice bundle, looks and sounds great.

I would like to participate in testing and review. I am from USA and I understand and agree to the tour conditions. Nice playlist!

I can sell you my black AFC to finance the purchase of Aeon 2 :)

Yes, it is two-prong power brick.

You need to switch to usb2 mode. Turn dacmagic off, press and hold 'select source' button and turn it on. It will switch to usb2 mode and 192Khz will appear in midi utility. Really strange design for 2012, I think you cannot find usb1 in computers anymore.

Connected macbook air via usb to dacmagic 100. I can confirm that if you choose dacmagic as output device in system preferences then dacmagic switches to 192Khz and it stays there no matter what is playing in itunes.   Dacmagic started to work as expected when I turned on bitperfect. It...

I just got DacMagic 100 from AA via Amazon. I did not have much time with it yet. So far I connected it instead of my Beresford to computer running mpd via optical link. DacMagic switches sample rate correctly. I can hear a tiny tiny click in headphones when it need to switch sample rate...
