Mytek Announces Clef Mobile MQA DAC/Amp @ CES 2017
The Clef is a DAC/Amp combo and getting both iFi portables (LE is a DAC from what I can read, iCan is an amp) will cost $328, double the equipment/size to carry. I think the X-Duoo XD-05 is an interesting alternative. Different folks, different strokes.- sil3ntscr3am

Shanling M5 Impressions & Discussion Thread
That's unfortunate to hear as the M1 is able to OTG... But at least the M5 has digital coax, which is nice (albeit requiring another cable).- sil3ntscr3am

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
I didn't get to fully compare both for an AB comparison as there were others waiting in line to try the unit... For the quick impression between both, I felt the non-BL was a smidge darker (YMMV, only 2 tracks) than the BL. But the 3D+ and Xbass+ effects were more pronounced on the BL, which I...- sil3ntscr3am

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
Just tried out the new BL at Stereo (Singapore). Sounded great with Meze 12 Classics, Audeze EL8O and Senn HD650. Fed from iPhone via CCK. Personally for me, I would veer towards the BL instead of the Schiit Jotunheim because of the flexibility of what the BL has to offer for desktop and...- sil3ntscr3am

Sennheiser x Massdrop HD6XX Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
I second the iFi iDSD Micro (the new Black Label). Tested it out with a HD650 (waiting for HD6XX) and it's more than sufficient to drive it well. The 3D+ effect is an ear opener as it did bring out some of the details in my tracks that I listened to. Some will find it gimmicky, but I thought...- sil3ntscr3am

I'm sure Massdrop (just speculating here) could be sending you a special pair when it ships... Your post here at Head Fi was probably the key reason for the influx of interest in the first place...- sil3ntscr3am

Quote: Quote: It's pretty clear he's incoherent and wavering in his comments and train of thought. One minute saying "I wouldn't buy from MD, even at the discounted price...etc", next minute "...The price made it specially tempting..." We get it. You're upset because you woke up...- sil3ntscr3am

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Yeah, I see where the Massdrop x Sennheiser collaboration is going...cos I'm one of those whom wouldn't have gotten a 600/650 due to the entry price where I'm from. With the HD6XX however, I'm plunging into Senn's world head first because it just makes senns (sense)... It's a good move...- sil3ntscr3am

Sennheiser x Massdrop HD6XX Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
A lot has been said about MD and the recent HD6XX fluff... Let's put it this way. It's a business model, not a BIG corporation selling wares. If there's profit for MD and Sennheiser selling 5K units of HD6XXs, what makes you think there won't be another 5K units round the corner? and...- sil3ntscr3am
