Bump and huge price drop: 679 > 619 > 579 > 529 > 399 OBO I had sold this a while back but it turned out there was a fault in the USB input so I've taken it back and refunded the buyer! DAC still works perfectly through optical in. Amp works beautifully. More details in main post. TL;DR: USB...- ustinj

TIMESTAMP / ALBUM: https://imgur.com/a/zzXy846 Looking to consolidate and let go of either this OG Clear, or my HD800. This is in excellent condition. As usual for the OG Clear, the pads have a slight bit of darkening that appeared after the first few days of use (surprisingly early). They've...- ustinj

This cable works great and has incredible ergonomics - super supple and braided split is seamless without a splitter (no getting caught on my desk!). After my HD800 pads gave out though, this hasn't gotten much use and has been collecting dust. Fair to good condition (dust has collected on the...- ustinj

Looking to sell my U12t. Picture album: https://imgur.com/a/SvybE6f This was my absolute dream IEM from the moment I gave it a listen at Canjam Socal 2018. I finally got my hands on them in February of 2020 for use in the office. Barely a month after, the pandemic shut down offices completely...- ustinj

Reply to review by 'ustinj' on item '64Audio U12t'
Personally, I find that I like the feel of the U12t's bass -- as you said it all comes down to preference ... there is a time and place for DD bass as I first entered the hobby as a wanna-be basshead, but after a while the thump can be a bit much for my eardrums -- not quantity, but just how...- ustinj

Wow, I did not realize that the grill issue was this prevalent. In that case, it seems like a sore spot in an otherwise pretty nice construction.- ustinj

Review by 'ustinj' on item '64Audio U12t'
It’s a bit hard for me to write this review, but I find it necessary — the 64 Audio U12t has been a major factor in my unexpectedly low level of enthusiasm in audio gear… but maybe not in the way you’d expect. Scroll down to Conclusion for a TL;DR. It was a summer day in the streets of Los...- ustinj

You are right, but the flabby sound in the bass was noticeable in a few tracks I was listening to (which led me to test the tone).- ustinj

Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC: A Discrete Resistor Ladder DAC For $350
That is a pretty good way to describe the noise. I still like the way it sounds, I was just checking if it was normal. I did not buy it expecting a 'clean' sound, but this is quite a bit into the audible realm. If anyone else could compare using a low bass frequency tone, it would seal the book...- ustinj

Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC: A Discrete Resistor Ladder DAC For $350
To clarify, I don't really consider it a huge issue because it isn't distorted to the point of screwing with my music unless I'm chasing purity (then I can switch DACs). But if it's not a normal case with the DAC, then I will have to figure out what to do.- ustinj

PC>USB into Airist R2R>CMA600i amp/ZDT Jr amp>hd800 It could be the interconnects / cables, but my first assumption was the dac. It is not an issue with M9xx or cma600i's dac.- ustinj

Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC: A Discrete Resistor Ladder DAC For $350
https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ Using this tone generator, @ 30hz I can hear what sounds like a faint sawtooth wave (sharp) on top of the sine wave, present in both channels but just barely to the right -- turn volume up to pick it up. Using my CMA600i's DAC, there is no such noise...- ustinj

Massdrop x Airist Audio R-2R DAC: A Discrete Resistor Ladder DAC For $350
I know this dac dac high distortion measurements, but is it at the point of audibility? I have one and I think it sounds nice, but I can hear audible distortion when playing single frequency tones in the bass. Anyone else able to check this for me?- ustinj
