    You’re probably running the first firmware still. In this case, your solution is correct ;)

    My evening bliss... How I wish the beautiful Cleopatra II Octa was mine. It pairs wonderfully with the Mest. It's part of a tour though.

    Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000T

    The signal is very weak indeed, but luckily it seems to stream even when displaying no bars in the wifi icon.

    There's zeitgeistgermany. They have some pretty cool looking IEM’s. All in 2×BA configuration

    Not bad. I'd even explore the possibility of having an xlr->2 pin/mmcx cable. Out of respect for dcs Lina...

    Careful, you'll create a new market for xlr terminated IEM cables 😉

    If your point is to experience them like those people who think they are giant killer, then yes, you're absolutely right. By using the Mojo 2, a 400 E device, you already take them out of the reach of their supporters. The question is: would your ears bleed if you go this route? ;) Shall I...

    Wasn't trying to lecture you about cables...lol, your cables are more expensive than my IEMs. Sorry if it came out like that, wasn't my intention. I was only suggesting a way to level the field a bit. You'll be comparing the dirt cheap IEMS with the most expensive combos. You cannot forget what...

    How about a compromise, not the stock cable, but something like ISN or FiiO? I have a SH Socrates, for example. It’s still X+Y<300. I bought the TRN azure dragon from HighEnd and the stock cable apart from being crap, turned out to be defective too (it’s got replaceable terminations, but the 4,4...

    It is actually quite amazing what a decent cable makes of the sub 100Eur Chifi IEMs.

    Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience

    Soooo, I'm testing a new cable. Plug it into a pair of cheap Artti R1, on the account that this cable should counterbalance their lack of treble. Plug it into the N3U, tap play and horror: the first song, a Halestorm ballad, just voice and piano, the voice sounds distorted. Ok, I thought, not a...

    Indeed. Not only it sounds good, but it looks good too.

    No gold here, but the sound is golden. The beautiful PS cables from the EU tour. I think they are Copper XL and Silver plated Copper XL. Wonderfully crafted and good sounding. Here are some of my observations, bear in mind that I've no experience describing sound, but I hope you'll at least...

    Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000T

    Thx. I don't think they are competing with each other, just different takes of the same idea. I sort of miss the floating button, but the 3kT compensates by being much faster than 2kT. The only "downside" when upgrading is the weight, 3kT is a heavy beast :)
