xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
Hi to all. what does the min phase filter option do? When I follow the above sequence of pressing keys, I don't get the last option "5. Select Min" but instead a "flying" something goes across the screen from left to right. Repeating the sequence the same bird(?) goes from right to left...- sot13

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
It is not clear from your description whether you do the following: You need to plug into mains your Gryphon AFTER you have switched it on! Quoting from their site's FAQ section "Charge to ~70% only by turning on the device first before plugging in power."- sot13

xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
Hi to all. I recently got Gryphon. I am a bit surprised by the fact that the balanced output (front) is ONLY marginally louder than the single ended one. I did measure the SPL via an SPL meter - not very scientific but fairly indicative I guess. In order to achieve around 80db SPL in single...- sot13

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
Hi, I am looking for recommendations for replacement cables (balanced) for my Focal Clear OG. The supplier needs to be in Europe. Any thoughts?- sot13

Apparently they do. The Clear OGs I found them from another supplier in Spain - Barcelona, appointed distributor by Focal. That one provided a 3 year warranty too- sot13

I understand this too. But they are sold as new so I assume the packaging will be the original (i.e. with spare pads). Also I send a message to Büchertisch to confirm the warranty - if all ok I don't mind them being a bookstore.- sot13

Regarding the cable, do you see any advantage in using balanced vs. single ended (I am talking about the specific combination of gryphon with Clear).?- sot13

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, I have to look for something available in Europe (postage costs for Ninja doubles their cost...). Also, please tell me about the combination of Clear Mg and Gryphon - do they complement each other well?- sot13

I can't decide - IEM or headphones?
Thank you all for the replies and suggestions. I would like to give some more insight to my situation. I am a long standing "audiophile" and as such I have a full-blown high-end speaker system. However, due to personal circumstances and life, I find myself less and less devoting time in front of...- sot13
