    Hi, Thanks. I did re-flash twice using the FW found in Earmen’s site.. It helped with the crackling somewhat but did not eliminate the stopping in the middle of the track and the losing of volume.. Maybe with the latest IOS devices it would play nicer?.. No problems with the laptop playing...

    Sony IER-M7 Impressions Thread

    Thanks! I guess they need immediate wiping after every use? BTW.. How come the Z1R balanced cables are cheaper than the M9 balanced cable in the Sony online shop? Z1R: https://sony.encompass.com/item/12434619/Sony/1-912-774-21/ M9: https://sony.encompass.com/item/12319321/Sony/1-912-704-11/

    Thanks! How does the sound compare to the stock M9 cable? I plan to buy new cables as the stock one that came with mine now has some cosmetic damage..

    Sony IER-M7 Impressions Thread

    Hello, Anyone know where I can purchase online (U.S.) a spare IER-M7 Balanced (Pentaconn) cable? I like the stock cable best in terms of sonics and ergonomics.. The one I have was left in a very hot environment and the ear guides and plastic part near the connectors got cosmetic damage when I...

    Doesn’t the xDSD have the same parts quality built-in (Silmiics, etc.) as the Nano BL?
