The PENON official thread
I'm very keen to learn how the Voltage compare to the Quattros, from your impressions it sounds like the two are quite different though perhaps similarly sized.- Bosk

I contacted Vishnu via Instagram, which is apparently the norm. Don't think they have a website nor do I know their email address unfortunately.- Bosk

You could always contact Vishnu Leather to have them build a custom case for your DAP. They're quite expensive but I've yet to encounter better.- Bosk

Interesting machine from Luxury n Precision
My interpretation of the promotional material is that in addition to other improvements, the Exclusive Edition ships with an AK4497 DAC card with higher THD specs. Which could suggest either the AK4497 chips used for the EE versions, or other electrical components on those particular cards have...- Bosk

Review by 'Bosk' on item 'Penon Fan2'
Do you listen to hear the music, or feel it? Recently I reviewed Penon's 4xDD Quattros and was starstruck from first listen, in fact they've become my #1 choice under $500. The Quattro magic lies in their tonality - effortlessly rendering instruments & voices in a way that feels right, but...- Bosk

Any solution for stiffened cables?
Thank you for your reply Warren. Unfortunately being a 2 wire cable braiding isn't the issue in this case as even the earhook areas (single wire per side) are stiffened, I've tried flexing the cable in different directions to relax the memory effect but to no avail. I was thinking some sort of... -
The discovery thread!
As as addendum to your post, I personally feel amplification has potentially the largest impact on staging size, and also happen to suspect the amplification stage in most DAPs ends up contributing more to what we end up hearing than the DAC stage, at least from a technicalities perspective...- Bosk

The discovery thread!
I feel similarly about ESS DACs - they have a reputation for being edgy, aggressive & fatiguing. They often sounded very "digital" with loads of resolution coming at the expense of an excessive amount of glare, particularly evident at higher frequencies. Almost like a ringing effect. What...- Bosk

Any solution for stiffened cables?
I have a Liquid Links Venom cable which has stiffened up over time, perhaps due to the PVC insulation reacting to humidity. Are there any known treatments out there for softening up cables?- Bosk

pw audio 1960s 4 wire
Many of us find brighter cables work well with XE6, whereas 1960s has a reputation for being a little warmer & darker from my understanding. Many XE6 owners recommend Ode To Laura as the best cable pairing they've tried among high-end cables.- Bosk

The PENON official thread
Well some people do love the convenience of modular plugs, along with systems like ConX that allow interchangeable 2pin & MMCX connectors. I've fully committed to sources with 4.4mm outputs & IEMs with 2pin connectors so I don't need that flexibility, because in my experience friction-fit...- Bosk

Penon recently sent me one of their Renata cables, and pairing it with the XE6s has yielded extremely positive initial impressions. It's always fascinated me how the more substantial cables are able to alter our perception of soundstage dimensions, stretching them outwards or bending them more...- Bosk

Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)
Similarly thick, though nowhere near as stiff as Code 23. I should have a chance to compare it with Code 24 in a few weeks. I've A/Bed 475 against the Sound Tiger Sinfonia, which is much smaller and may be the best value portable amp on the market. I liked the Sinfonia and would choose it for...- Bosk
