    Reply to review by 'tboneharry' on item 'Mangird XENNS UP'

    I have both the MkII and the XENNS. For my library and tastes the Mest is the clear recommendation, albeit at twice the cost. And while I enjoy the XENNS for all the reasons mentioned in this excellent review, I would choose the Thieaudio Monarch as my favorite in the price band.

    Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.

    @Skullar - My experience with these suggests that "bass shy" isn't likely to be your perception. I find them to have strong, fast and textured bass response, with especially well-rendered sub-bass. I've bought hard into the Tri-brid ecosystem (as you can see in my sig, and as the missus has...

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    Hi Andy! I successfully upgraded over the weekend - I was using a 512GB SD card without realizing the slot read a max of 256GB. Nothing more than a DFU interface problem.... :wink: Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated!

    Cayin iDAP-6 - versatile new desktop transport

    I just picked up one of these and am having the exact same issue, except reversing steps 4 and 5 doesn't work either - in both cases I get an "upgrade file not found" error message. Did you ever resolve your issue?

    Cayin iDAC-6 - Review tour (USA only for now), impressions, discussion

    I'm streaming primarily because my main listening setup is (by design) away from my computer desk, to discourage me from working when I should be relaxing :) Additionally, my 2019 iMac has a known issue outputting from USB to a DAC, and intermittent dropouts occur frequently enough to ruin the...

    Cayin iDAC-6 - Review tour (USA only for now), impressions, discussion

    I'm streaming from my iMAC iTunes library (ALAC) to a PC through Apple Home Sharing, Icekuma. I have @100hrs of time on it thus far. I haven't detected any sonic differences as a result of this "burn-in" but continue to be impressed by the flexibility and amount of different sound signatures...

    Cayin iDAC-6 - Review tour (USA only for now), impressions, discussion

    Bit the bullet and bought a iDAC-6 mk2 to replace an older Schiit Modi 2 in my primary setup. Less than 24hrs on it so far, but the improvement in clarity, dynamics and transparency are significant. I don’t have “Golden Ears” but can report that the difference between the SS and tube outputs...

    ZMF Classic MK3 - discussion and impressions

    Hi Zach! I had about 100 hours on them through the Jot, and no additional listening time before the Cayin made its debut, so burn-in isn't a factor. Either something about the Schiit wasn't delivering, or the Cayin/Classics pairing is particularly strong. Given the other issues I had with...
