It is generally 2 years with the retailer in Australia. To be exact, there is no defined end date for high valued item. Not sure if Focal will be honouring the warranty if the 'rumours' are true. Also Utopia 2022's clearance price was $3,499 AUD but appears to be have been increased to $3,999.

True, Focal/A2A has been very aggressive with pricing to clear in the past. I bought my first Focal Clear during an Easter sale few years ago. But this time, it is a rare exception. They appear to be clearing out the brand for good so I thought it is rare opportunity to own a high-end pair of...

Yeah I noticed it is already sold out now. I also have IEMs for when I need something low key but headphones are still more comfortable. Do you apply only on the top headband? I figured it is not wise to apply on the cups since residue may get stuck in between the stainless steel. Is this the...

So glad I finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Stellia. I tried it 2 years ago but couldn't swallow the price. That is until Addicted to Audio in Australia did a fire sale on them this week. Got them for $1155 USD including taxes and delivered ($1799 AUD) - basically over 60% off. The Utopia...

I have something similar too but it only happens with Apple Music so I think its app related. There is a split second jitter when it switches to Lossless presumably from buffering.

Yeah sometimes it is better to just aim for one TOTL and be done with it rather than to buy multiple midfis and be stuck in the never ending blackhole of cash. However, I understand not everybody wants to go all in too quickly. After all this process is also part of the hobby. My experience in...

I am so happy that I pulled the trigger on the U12Ts. It is going to complement my Nios. I can definitely understand why some would prefer U4s now. But man, this is how TOTL iems sound like? I am believer now. I still want to explore headphones but these 2 pair will keep me happy for some time now.

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks.

Hey guys, I would appreciate some guidance on how to close a sale listing if the item was sold outside of Headfi. As I cannot indicate the item was sold because the person does not exist on Headfi, should I use the 'withdraw' option instead? However if I do this, does that mean I won't have a...

I heard a lot about the RS6 and AMP13 too. Am wondering if I should just get the 5K for my 64 Audio when I am at work or one of the 2 DAPs but using them as DAC/AMP. Seems overkill to me but I am curious about the sounds.

Congrats on the trade! Would you say the Qudelix 5K is a good pairing for the U12T? How did you find the bass quantity with the various Apex modules? I see you're on the MX module now.

Thanks for the recommendation. However isn't the Trio featuring a bright tuning? I am quite sensitive to the highs. For example I found IE 600 a little hot on the treble.

Looks like the 64 Audio U12T is back in stock for their B-stock sale. I have heard so much about it. I remember testing it years ago (or was it the U12). Should I yolo on it? I have the 64 Audio Nio and I love the bass although it is not suitable for some tracks (too much bass :sweat_smile:). I...

There are other things that you have not accounted for. 1. During DC fast charging where Q7 will draw current at 12V. Not sure if it is charging at 2A but the Q7 does top charge relatively quickly even during usage. 2. Q7's own power consumption The power supply will send as much current at...

This is so true. It baffles me that all these graphs do not show the same major units. So while you can see they have a similar curve but their levels are not the same.

I have to caveat that the U4s that I heard was a demo unit for A4s and with M15 module. However the rep confirmed that it is exactly the same for U4s so there's that. But it is just a fun IEM to have in the collection. Its so interesting with the frequency chart that you showed. Both U4s and IE...

I have the IE 600 but had to return it due to a problem with the module-MMCX connector pair. Then I decided to try out 64 Audio again. I previously had their U4 and U4SE and I like their house sound. The IE 600 has a bright tuning with emphasis to sub bass. Plenty of detail retrieval and sound...

I agree with KeaneShadow. If you have a chance to try out 64 Audio at your local store, please give U4s a listen. I recently auditioned it and the sound is very attractive and engaging. However, you will lose the detail retrieval offered by IE 600 especially if you are looking for a bright...

Sound in general. Nothing to do with the second harmonic feature. I have not been able to hear any differences but Fiio mentioned it is only noticeable at higher volumes. You're correct. This is why I said I could be biased because I spent more time testing the demo unit that was on the old...

I thought the 1.04 firmware was more 'dynamic' but I could be biased because I tested the Q7 in the older firmware for 4 hours when I was at the store. I was testing with IE 600. With the new firmware, I do prefer the bass using the stock single-ended cable and single-ended side of the Q7. The...
