The CMA review saga continues

Never mind. It was apparently a problem of improper insertion--of the 4.4mm pin into the outlet on W4. I just re-inserted the pin, qnd Bam!--problem solved! I am still grateful for your assistance, @musicday Oh, and 4.4mm balanced sounds much better and fuller than 3.5mm single-ended on the...

Quick question: I'm using the W4 with my Macbook pro for the first time since purchase. Here's the problem:the unit outputs sound normally when my headphones are connected to the 3.5mm output on the W4, but it goes silent when I switch outlets and connect the headphone to the 4.4mm balanced...

This review of @project86 remains one of the most comprehensive reviews of the Niimbus I have seen, in case you have not read it yet.

Schiit Bifrost 2/64 -->> I use it with the V222 and can personally vouch for the great synergy of the combo, FWIW.

It seems Wave Theory has :

Now speaking of getting blown away, I naturally prefer to get that from the sound, rather than getting that from price tag: Blown away by the sound : Blown away by the price: Here's hoping that the makers of the limited run Envy realize the difference :) :) :)

This one just reminded me, once again, why I'm almost never disappointed with a Wave Theory review. He seems to have this instinctive knack for zeroing in on specific questions I have about the gear he is reviewing. In this particular case, he just helped me to eliminate the Mjolnir 3 from my...

Did you get any responses to this question/. I am also interested in a V222 vs Schiit MJ3 comparo. Could anyone who has heard them both chime in? Many thanks

What is SGP1? Yes, sometimes I get lost with all the abbreviated names and shorthanded references that seem to be part of the "staple diet" of head-fi-speak :):):).

Thx. It's all done now, and the I2S module is up and running quite nicely on the Morpheus.

What's the exact size of a the Philips screwdriver that matches the screws on the Morpheus? I want to replace the USB module with the i2S one, but I have to take off the the top cover of the chassis, which will require the unscrewing of several screws (excuse the ugly pun:):):)).

It's not just that pairing. I have tried the He-1000se within several different pairings, some of which one might classify as summit-fi, and others as "mid-fi." and, so far, it has never really disappointed with its performance on any occasion. Sometimes "a great can is simply a great can" and...

Sounds like you read my mind, as you answered my question as I was typing it.

Were you able to determine whether that mediocrity was being produced by the tungsten itself or by some weak link in the chain that was driving it, say the amp, for example? I ask because it is now well known that the Tungsten cannot shine if it is not properly driven.

Some might say you already have the LCD-4 for that "fun-factor" listening, so why double down on it with the SS?:):)

Yes, this is correct, although I am feeling a little "greedy" now about it, Nah!:)

I have owned one Arya Stealth, between my first and second He-1000ses. I did like the stealth, but I purchased it thinking that it was going to give me a "lite" version of my first He-1000se, which I had traded up for the Susvara. While it has its own admirable charms, I came to discover, with...

I got charged in full, but I ordered through Mimic Audio, because I did not have a chance of getting an order in at any of Mod House's own "horse racing" buying portals, and I simply got tired of trying.

And now speaking of some "dumb" fun with them foxes :):):)

Wrong forum: Message deleted.

Thanks. Actually, I suspect that an LHY UIP might find a better fil in another rig that I am trying to put together in a different location, a rig made up of the Schiit Bifrost 2/64 and the Violectric HPA V222, both of which are excellent performing units in their own rights. I'm still trying...

Not to sound rude or impertinent, but will such a comparison not depend, as well, on which Headphones they're driving, and maybe, which DACS are feeding each Headphone amp in real time? I am afraid pitting one of these amps against the other independently as if they're working in isolation (...

I do not have the Deluxe yet, but I have a Sonnet Pasithea DAC currently being fed by a Denafrips DDC (Gaia) via the I2S input on the Pasithea, which is in turn connected to my Cen.Grand Big Silver fox.. If the LHY UIP has a place in a chain like mine, where will it go? Before the Gaia DDC or...
