    CanOpener?

      I assume so. I wonder if it's related to another occasional problem. I wake up my iPod and even though I never disconnected my ear buds, Canopener still asks me to select an output.

    CanOpener?

    I had a very unusual experience last night. I paused Canopener and then my iPod fell asleep. I then pressed play and it was blazingly loud.   Can you please add the Momentum On Ear headphones?

    HD800 - Pink Floyd Time - Very Shrill Bells

      I don't trust the dummy! :) At least not compared to the official certificate I just got from Sennheiser.

    HD800 - Pink Floyd Time - Very Shrill Bells

      Thanks for the graph. I'm waiting for my personal FR graph from Sennheiser. It does look like there would be emphasis on those bells. So maybe the HD800 does make them more shrill than they're supposed to be. I don't know the FR for the HD700, but those bells were more mellow on the HD700...

    Is there a cheapere alternative to B&W MM-1 Speakers?

    Here are a couple that weren't mentioned yet. For low to medium listening levels, for example if these will be on your desk, try the Tivoli Model 2. The MM-1 is more detailed, but the Model 2 is $300 versus $500. The Model 2 sounds very good, just not great. And there's a sub-woofer option...

    B&W MM-1 Speakers having trouble connecting to iPhone or iPod Touch

    The sound of these speakers at low to medium volume is excellent. I have my iPhone 5s (or iPod Touch 5th gen) connected to the USB input through the Apple CCK. It works fine once the connection is made, but it's tedious to connect.   If I want to connect, I need to power on the MM-1, power...

      That's what I was asking.     They only move a little, but I'm now convinced that that's how they're supposed to sound and that this is the first time I've listened with such accurate headphones.

      Oh, be sure to make the white areas, the areas you want engraved, black on your JPEG -- like a film negative.

      Thanks for letting us know. Most people who have nothing to say don't even have the decency to respond!

      Oh, it's in the Immersion set. Too bad you have to pay $150 for all that other stuff. I thought the blu-ray was for the 5.1. I didn't realize it was also for better quality stereo. It's tempting, but after just spending so much for the HD800, the O2+ODAC and C5D, I think I better cool it for...

      If I come across the other masters at a reasonable price, I might give them a try. Right now, I'm thoroughly enjoying the Discovery CDs. The blu-ray sounds cool. Can you share a link?

    Objective 2 (and O2+ODAC) Impressions Thread

      I agree that the O2 is a lot of fun! My headphones are medium impedance (300 ohms) and high sensitivity (102 db), but thanks for the pointer. Maybe others will find your booster board useful.      You forgot the end of my sentence. I wasn't complaining. I like neutral and I get just the...

    CanOpener?

    I'm not sure, but I think I've seen more people talk about the W series. The W40 is the latest model, replacing the W4 and W4R.
