Reply to review by 'ruthieandjohn' on item 'Lotoo Mjolnir'
You stated that the XRC setting "XRC. This is Lotoo's built in upsampling feature which upscales PCM playback to 32 bits (from either 16 or 24)". Did you have XRC on or off during your comparisons? I understood XRC to increase the sampling rate, e.g., 44.1 kHz to 192 or so, not to increase...- ruthieandjohn

Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth
I have just bought a wonderful LPGT-Ti to go with my PAW Gold, PAW-5000, and Mjolnir. It is great, but... How do I force it to rescan the database on the SD card? When I add an album from my desktop via USB (with LPGT-Ti in Storage mode), the album shows up there, but i not included in the...- ruthieandjohn

New top Lotoo Mjolnir
I have found that the Mjolnir makes ANY of my (50+) headphones and IEMs sound their best. Right now I have the Grado GS3000x and the GS2000e in use, but I often put on the Grado 2000e or the HiFiMAN HE1000.- ruthieandjohn

Feedback by 'ruthieandjohn' on listing 'Lotoo'
A delightful sale! The seller was very careful to describe what was an invisible flaw on the body, and when the player arrived, it was in nearly new condition, and it worked beautifully. Delivery was very prompt.- ruthieandjohn

Schiit Gungnir DAC
I sent the Gungir back to Schiit to get its USB working. Step 1: They changed the USB to a working identical USB ($89) Step 2: When I repeated my request, they upgraded my USB to Unison (adds a 2 yr warranty as well as improved performance) ($150) Step 3: When I received my upgraded Gungir...- ruthieandjohn

GS1000 vs GS1000i vs GS1000e I just received a pair of GS1000 headphones, augmenting my GS1000 collection to include all but the new GS1000x. The picture shows, from left to right, GS1000 (square rods, thin cable, dark wood, black headband), GS1000i (round rods, thick cable, dark wood, black...- ruthieandjohn

I *knew* this was an additional PS1000 for you, but I thought you might have regretted selling yours, so getting a replacement. I had no idea you were boarding four pairs! 🤢- ruthieandjohn

YES! Without question! I have both the GS2000e and the current flagship, GS3000x. I prefer the GE2000e, as to me it is brighter and more spacious while having good bass. However, there are several who discount the GS2000e as having a “wonky” response, so I may be in the minority or off in...- ruthieandjohn

Schiit Gungnir DAC
I have to send my 2018- vintage Gungir Multibit with 5 Gen USB back to Schiit for USB repair. Is there any other upgrade that has come out recently that I should request? Should I go for the Unison USB upgrade? Just what IS the Unison upgrade? Thanks!- ruthieandjohn

When one says “software support,” what is meant? For me, it is simply becoming Roon compatible (likely to come, as it is on their menu) and (idealistically) the ability to retrieve by genre.- ruthieandjohn

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
A Secret Brotherhood lives here on head-fi — the brotherhood of HE-500 aficionados. You need to have been around for some time to have gotten the HE-500 when it was the new thing from HiFiMAN. Latecomers have had to be convinced and educated by these senior HE-500 lovers. I feel privileged...- ruthieandjohn

New top Lotoo Mjolnir
10 days since last post here (and it was MINE??!) The Mjolnir sure does not generate much discussion… wonder why??? Anyway, I have converged upon using the Mjolnir with upsamping (XRC) ON, with EQ set to Headphones, and taking advantage of AirPlay, enabled in the software release of two weeks...- ruthieandjohn

And I think that it is ONLY the GH2 and GH1 that are improved by replacing their native L pads with Gs. The PS500 sounds equally good but different, and at least in my experience, the other L-supplied Grados degrade in sound with Gs.- ruthieandjohn

YAY! Firmware update adds Apple AirPlay as well as DLNA capability! YAY!! It also recalibrates the Battery Remaining display, does something or other with the USB (I forget what), and fixes a few UI issues. Oh… and it works (I tried it using Over The Air update).- ruthieandjohn
