    SMSL / VMV D1SE Impressions thread

    How much was it during the 11.11 sale? It's retailed for $720 now.

    Should I repair this or send it back again?

    Have had the same issue with the black connector, sent it back and the manufacturer fixed for me, reluctantly. However, only a few days after receiving it back, the red connector had the same issue too. Upon close examination, I think the issue is that there just isn't enough sleeve material...

    DC Area Head-Fi Meet Planning (ongoing)

    You could get virus from me just as likely as I could get from you. It's all a fair game. Let's just do it

    Flac files on a macbook air...

    To this point about VLC. I tried playing the same file via VLC and iTunes but they don't sound exactly the same. I think it has something to do with the gain of each application. I max out the volume on VLC and iTunes, and two steps lower from max off the master volume. VLC consistently plays...

    Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread

    So despite the look of xlr, its actually not balanced? Why not just use a 3.5mm to rca cable?

    Wait. I thought the last drop (1000 units) was supposed to be the last for this year. So another drop tomorrow? How?

    I think you’re right. I got in on the April drop, not later. But i am surprised they also got aug 30 as ship date.

    Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread

    A generic 3.5mm to RCA cable but didn't have problem when used in another system.

    Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread

    I notice some crack, static noise coming out of 789. Granted, it could be my source, iPhone 3.5mm, but when I connect headphone directly to iPhone I don't hear those noise. I do keep the iphone volume at full when feeding to 789, and about 60% when feeding headphone directly. I realize the...

    Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread

    Received mine as well. Been very impressed with the sound so far. A couple of questions on the unit: 1) What's the best way to add a visible dot on the volume knob? It's really hard to tell the volume level without a visual cue. 2) should I buy an audiophile-grade powerstrip? If so? What? It...

    Grado BASSHEAD Mod....

    I know what you mean. The difference is night and day. Whoever says Grado cannot produce bass should just do this simple trick. Even though I generally like bass, i found the bass produced with this mod is a bit too "dirty" and have since reverted back to the original pad.
