New and Improved* Luxury & Precision L5 PRO 32bit DSD DAP with AKM AK4490, touch screen, rosewood blackplate
Hi. I gave up on the L5 Pro as it just didn't like interfacing with Mac, despite it offering the best sound I have heard on a DAP so far. If they fixed the problems, I'd go back just for the sound quality.- albaman

Hi everybody, just one detail to correct. I intended to give these 'phones four stars but seem to have managed to split the fourth star. Anyone know how to correct?- albaman

Jumping from the HD650 to the HD800.
But the ZMFs are much heavier - always a compromise somewhere!- albaman

Jumping from the HD650 to the HD800.
Hi Sysfail I auditioned the 800s extensively before choosing the 700s. The 800s are a triumph of detail and analysis of musical content but I felt those benefits were delivered at a price which was a sound signature that would not tolerate some musical matches and became tiresome quite often. I...- albaman

Jumping from the HD650 to the HD800.
Hi. I recently sold my HD700s but listened to them for many prolonged sessions. Whilst I broadly agree with the feedback you have had already, I think two considerations ought to be added. Call it 'brain burn in' or whatever you like but I very quickly became used to the HD700s sound...- albaman

Dear L5 Pros Burn in completed - 200+ hours. Some brief impressions. Operation; no faults bar an annoying predilection for self-ejecting when attached to mac for file transfers. (Four times so far and annoying because it only likes my micro cards to be loaded up whilst inserted in L5...- albaman

New and Improved* Luxury & Precision L5 PRO 32bit DSD DAP with AKM AK4490, touch screen, rosewood blackplate
G'day Brooko! My take on the HD700 is my opinion, based on my experience with my ears. As stated, after one hour or so of burn-in listening. To insist that both John Young and I are either listening to really quiet tracks or listening at unsafe levels is, objectively, an unsafe opinion. ...- albaman

New and Improved* Luxury & Precision L5 PRO 32bit DSD DAP with AKM AK4490, touch screen, rosewood blackplate
Status update from a technically challenged music lover: My L5 Pro arrived at the beginning of last week. After resolving a couple of "how to" issues - big thanks John Young, Ultrainferno - I had a listen for an hour before committing to the recommended burn in. We are now 130 hours into a...- albaman

New and Improved* Luxury & Precision L5 PRO 32bit DSD DAP with AKM AK4490, touch screen, rosewood blackplate
Hot stuff, Ultrainferno! Apologies if my somewhat ironic sense of humour came across as petulant. I was just trying to use self-effacing wit as a means of excusing my inability to get my L5 Pro going. FYI, I have read EVERY page of this thread and I'm not taken to wasting headfier...- albaman

Ultrainferno Did some part of your imagination convince you that your reply might be helpful? In the absence of friendly assistance I am experimenting. I'm sure I will stumble on a solution. Thank you for your reply.- albaman

Joy unconfined. My DHL Package arrived this morning - from Hong Kong to The Highlands - a day early. Good job Penon Audio! My first experience of my L5 Pro was a real white knuckle ride and, after only 20 minutes or so, I got the package open. Forget rock / paper / scissors, I have...- albaman
