Prefers Solaris in every way to Andro S other than the ergo. The steel shell feels super nice in ear though. Solaris sound has way more authority.

Yes, the impression actually surprised myself as well. Going into the audition I expect to lean towards the S tuning as on paper the little bit of mid centric shift would be favoring my taste. However, I can't help but feel that the S sounds like an EQed Green, a perfect EQ as it can be, it...

Thanks, glad that it helps. Forte once, treble too hot, also not quite agreeing with 64s pricing strategy. Never had a chance of auditioning Trio.

Saw that Solaris is back in stock yesterday just in time for thanksgiving, so impulse visited CA HQ in the afternoon to audition and potentially buy Solaris onsite. Though they must be super busy with all the last minute prep before Black Friday sale went online, the CA people are just as...

       Though it hasn't come to a conclusion, and by no means confirmed by Calyx, the physical function of M-jack likely has something to do with bypassing the DC bias in M's amp that bothers certain loads, IEM and cans alike, though more IEMs tend to suffer from this.                 I don't...

Has anyone tried pairing StageDiver SD2 with the M?  Very curious about the synergy. Since I'm not getting an ideal sound out of F111, just trying to get something along the same line. 

just received mjack today. big thanks goes to Chris! haven't got time for a serious comparison yet, but it's safe to say that this is the magical total cure for my F111 for sure. The distortion when paired with F111,cm7ti,and tdk BA200 is completely gone with the jack. and there is no volume...

  Should be receiving mine within a week. Thanks to Chris's generosity. Will update upon arrival.   Has F111 as well, the distortion is frightening..  

      As a line out source I'd say that M is surprisingly good with a more linear presentation than the direct phone out, plus it bypasses the distortion issue with certain IEM pairing. I find when possible, high impedance + maximum volume gives the best result in most cases. Mid impedance...

        Thanks guys, will do.

  Is there any news on how to get the M-jack in U.S.?   I've been listening my M solely with UM1 as I was away from home. Now as I got back and tried pairing it with my F111 for the first time, the distortion is so freaking bad. Adding a 33ohm impedance adapter is not solving the issue as...

  With my UM1 on hand, 1.01 SQ improvement is so apparent on the OST of 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. The change is eye opening. Primarily I think is the spatial coherence restored that's missing from 1.00. The sound is less congested, cleaner and a lot more 3D with an essential sense of moisture...

  Thanks for sharing the experience. I'll try to flash 0.97 first then, if it works I may go one step further back to 0.95. The SQ difference is subtle between 0.95 and 1.0. But without the magic impedance adapter from Calyx I find the M sounding on the verge of overly aggressive on 0.95 and...

Do you remember from which to which version did you reverse the firmware?   That's exactly the way I did most my experimenting (and essentially a clockwork recovery for Calyx-M through the SD card ). But I'm always seeing the following error message:                              less_then_int...

      As a Calyx M user, I for one much prefer the sound signature on v0.95 yet unfortunately stuck at v1.0 for the moment. First tried to flash back to 0.95 with no luck but an error msg saying 'less_then_int (1404110422.getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))' during package verification. So I figured...
