    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...

    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."

    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...

    Focal Clear headphones

Utopia. Most amazing audio I have ever heard. Utopias don't even get me half way there". I coming from...

    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?

    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

    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.

    I think this is a great opportunity. Focal Clear professional for 700 Euros (I bought them!!!). https://amzn.eu/d/7rIO76T

    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).?

    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?

    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...

    good point. however I cannot check it... it is from an online store. Given the fact though that they are appointed distributors of Focal I would assume it is OK.
