Looks Great in most reviews phthora, I may well go with that option once the balanced cable is here. I have been on a quest for a set of "perfect to my ears" headphones & IEM for a while now and am pretty much stoked on the SE846 IEM & Focal Elear Cans driven from the A&K SP1000.. I think that...

Oh what a revelation, So that little bluetooth gizmo has a balanced 2.5mm out too? That could be the ultimate solution for using the SE846 when working & E-boarding etc

Ok Great! thanks for the tip, I think once I get my balanced cable, and If I prefer the sound, I might ditch the bluetooth and get a 2.5mm balanced female to 3.5mm standard male adapter to use with my iPhone when at work, then always use that same balanced cable with the Astell & Kern SP1000 to...

Thanks for the reply, I have a $50 balanced cable coming, so it will be interesting to give it a try. In your post you mentioned changing the cable as infrequently as possible, is this due to the MMCX connectors being problematic (as stated by moon audio and the reason they discontinued the MMCX...

Anyone? Surely someone must have some experience with a balanced SE846 that they could share?

Hi Folks, I’m wondering if anyone here has compared the stock cable on the Shure SE846 to any balanced cables. And what your impressions were of the sound comparison? Is it worth getting a balanced cable for this IEM? I am running through an Astell & Kern SP1000, Cheers Ollie

The EQ I find is usable, but all I want to achieve is a slight bass boost to the gorgeous standard sound of the player. Even a simple bass boost function would be awesome within the SP1000 (feature request if you read this A&K :-) as so many open back cans have a substantial bass roll off. I...

Hi Folks, I have a question regarding the in-built EQ on the Astell & Kern SP1000. I am absolutely stoked with the sound of this DAP, It is by far the best sounding & functioning player I have ever owned. I listen to it through the Sennheiser HD650 with the Moon Audio Silver Dragon balanced...

Hi Folks,   I have a problem with my Micro Seiki direct drive MR-711 Turntable.   I was listening to a cream record and the the speed of the turntable started to gradually slow down until it was barely moving. Of course Ginger Bakers's toms started to get really deep and heavy...   Since...

Hi folks, I'm just getting started in the vintage hi-fi world and have picked up a nice turntable and set of speakers to get started with. The turntable is a micro MR-711 with a shure V15 type IV cartridge and the speakers are sansui SP-70. Can anyone recommend a good vintage amp to compliment...

Moon Audio Silver Dragon V3 here we come! the missing link for my current balanced amp 901 through HD650 setup. Excited to hear the difference of a hi end balanced cable compared to the standard Sennheiser cable.

Hello again folks, So I can't use "all songs" mode with a full 128GB card. The 901 freezes every time :-( Does anyone know if a full 64GB card freezes when you try to use "all songs" mode?

Can anyone shed any light on an ongoing firmware issue I have had.   I can't play "all songs"   I have a close to full 128GB card and I am running firmware 1.082   After I have waited about a week for the HM901 to scan the SD card (every freakin time I turn it on!) if I go into all songs...

Yet another firmware issue! Now that I have a full 128GB of music on my card, I can't llay any songs in all songs mode, When I click a track it just stalls every time. If i go from artists mode while a track is playing to all songs and try to play a track the previous song just keeps playing...

I have found that if the album art "cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg" is less than 230x230 pixels in size it displays as full size square as opposed to a cropped rectangle!
