    Neumann NDH 20

    I'm glad if I could be of help. I'll be interested to hear whether you share the same impressions. Hopefully they'll be what you expect!

    Neumann NDH 20

    A few impressions of the NDH 20 headphones... I've had the NDH 20s for long enough now that they are not new to me. I've been running them through two dac/amp combos, a Benchmark Dac1 USB and an RME ADI-2 FS. My music flies are all CD quality or higher resolution. I mainly say this to note that...

    Neumann NDH 20

    I read this thread with interest before getting a pair of NDH 20 headphones. Although I hope to write up a little more about my impressions and thoughts later, I was particularly interested in the discussion around the comment below, because it reflects one of my strong impressions of the...

    TRINITY - PHANTOM Series - New thread + WORLDS FIRST PUSH PULL HYBRID IEM!*

    I haven't posted to a Trinity thread in a long, long time. Much to my amazement, a pair of Hunters came in the post this week. I ordered a long time ago – 18 months or more. I haven't opened the box, since I wondered if there was some very remote chance of reselling them. But then again, part of...

    Dunu DK-3001 IEM - 4 driver, 1Dynamic + 3BA

    Thanks. I appreciate this. A number of people had helpful suggestions when I was first looking for full sized headphones and later when I was having some problems with my Aune initially. Many people here really enjoy listening to music and want to share that with others. I felt like maybe I...

    Dunu DK-3001 IEM - 4 driver, 1Dynamic + 3BA

    Thanks! Thanks! Just speaking about sound quality, I’d mention four of possible interest. One is Jan Kraybill’s recording, Organ Polychrome, on Reference Recordings. It’s an album recorded on modern pipe organs and conveys the DK-3001 sub bass rumble very nicely. A second is Signe Bakke’s...

    Dunu DK-3001 IEM - 4 driver, 1Dynamic + 3BA

    I've benefited from some advice on Head-fi in the past, but I'm not often in much of a position to contribute. However, I thought I might be able to add something useful to the discussion of the DK-3001 iems. I listen mainly to classical music, which seems less common amongst people posting...

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    Thanks to everyone for the help. It seems to have been a card compatibility issue, as several of you suggested. It works fine with a SanDisk card. Sorry that I could not check on Samsung, but it wasn't available locally. I'll comment back on the musical side of things later.

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    Thanks! I think with speed ruled out,  I'll try getting another brand of card as an experiment. It will probably be a small-ish Samsung. I'll report back on whether it works.

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    Ah, I see. Thanks. How fast does the card need to be to function well? It's a Lexar xcSD 633x (UHS-I class 10, 95mb/s) card. Samsung's cards appear to be the same speed. Is there a brand that makes a sufficiently fast one?

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    My apologies, one more question.   Although firmware updated without a hitch, I'm still getting a strange effect on several tracks. Things will be working normally and then a problem comes up. It sounds a bit like scrubbing or like what a CD player sounds like when working through a CD it is...

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    I think I'm not working with the right file. I did try using the factory setting, and very much appreciate the suggestion.

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    Thanks for the quick reply! I'm clearly doing something wrong. The file I'm downloading ends .rar    I'm using a mac, and perhaps that's causing a problem?

    Aune M1s Impressions & Discussion Thread (Aune's newest hi-res DAP with ESS9018KM + 2.5mm Balanced Out)

    Hi. I just acquired a new M1s. Two quick questions.   1. I'm trying to update to firmware 1.03 (from 1.00). I'm failing. I have downloaded the file onto my mSD card and left it in the root directory. I then return the SD card to my M1s. I then go to 'System Upgrade', accept the option to...
