Now if it had Qudelix 5k features with Bluetooth and wireless charging. That would great. Then a bigger volume knob. Heading in right direction.- xophere

How does Unison USB produce better sound?
Looking at his from 2024 the question is do I get the $250 upgrade for my gumby with shipping costs or just leave it. I don't think for a computer with clean usb it will matter. But I do have excellent audio devices where dirty USB inbound will screw up the rest of the sound on the DAC. My...- xophere

Drop + Dan Clark Audio AEON Open X - Impressions Thread
Physically they work quite well for my large head. My friend with Sundara's can't wear them for any length of time. They might sound better I don't know. The question is how much will the dekoni pads change the sound? Still kinda angry about stick on pads.- xophere

Drop + Dan Clark Audio AEON Open X - Impressions Thread
Huh I haven't noticed that. I do want to try leather pads. I love the softness of synthetic leather but I just find them too warm.- xophere

Comment by 'xophere' in item 'DROP + DAN CLARK AUDIO AEON OPEN X HEADPHONES'
While you clearly are a more advanced listener then I your comments don't make as much sense to me. I am comparing between a set of HD660s and these on an Asgard 3.- xophere

Modhouse Audio Argon - T50RP MK2/3 & T60RP
I have a line on some Dekoni Blues or the Mass Drop T-0X or whatever for about the same price in the $140 range. What is the difference between the two post conversion? If I do the Dekoni's I really don't want the protein pads. I like the sound and the comfort of these nice pads but the...- xophere

Schiit Lyr 1/OG
Borrowing a friends old Lyr. I guess back when they were still hand soldered. It still sounds sweet accept it has developed a background hum. Not really a standard AC hum but just noise. Friend says it just came on in the last year. Basically only feels like he can listen to super...- xophere

DROP + HIFIMAN HE-R7DX CLOSED-BACK LAUNCH
This product seems really weirdly spec'd. I will be curious if it is good enough to find a market. It looks cheap and sort of like it is playing in Beyer's space. Doesn't make much sense to me.- xophere

Topping a50s or schiit Asgard 3
Yes man I think you are concerned. I was at Schiit head quarters and realized that it would be cheaper to ship to my house in OR then pay cali sales tax. To complain about Schiit business practices is just troll BS. They are the most up front and clear about costs and production. They...- xophere
