I use VC and Atticus 90% of the time because of noise. It would also be great to try HE1000 with tubes, but it's not mandatory, just a good addition to have. If I was sure H22M would be significantly better for high-impedance headphones than H5KPCU I would go for it. As Wieslav said...

Does anybody happen to compare H5KPCU vs H22M? I am considering these two options, but there is a 2x price difference. As an advantage, H22M has the ability (from Wieslaw's words) to drive low-impedance planars like he1000. But mainly, I am curious how audible the difference is for...

Could you compare them to VC for metal?

Everything went smoothly, recommended.

I'm considering downsizing my audio setup by moving from an R7(home desktop) + Q15(office desktop/portable) to M15S Has anyone here used both the Q15 and M15S? How do they compare in terms of sound quality and performance? Any feedback comparing the sound of the Q15 and M15S would be very...

Yes, I am on the latest firmware. Also, could you request the option to reverse scroll wheel in menu (because it's very uncomfortable if you use 270° rotated screen)

In the video you can see the issue with "Gain" and how weirdly the navigation works with a 270° rotated screen (inverted scrolling)

Anybody else have an issue with gain switching? Selected gain does not correspond to the shown in the top of the screen. E.g. Select "Low" - get "M" on the display Select "High" - get "SH" etc

Try if touching the PC solves the issue as well. Do you have ground in the outlet the PC is powered from?

Who has VC in a wooden box (like the attached one)? Could you please measure the dimensions of the box and its total weight (approximate), including the headphones? Thanks

Haven't seen it for 300€, it is 399€

Seems, device longevity is not profitable for manufacturers these days.

Positive communication and fast shipping. Recommended!

In the menu "Bal output - > PO/LO"

Do you have a charger connected to the q15 at the same time?

It was written in this thread earlier:

Could you compare it to FiiO R7, sound and overall usability? Thanks.

Most probably. Maybe it depends on computer OS, player etc. Seems, in DAP mode the battery lasts few times longer.

@JasonNYC Hi, I was wondering if there are any plans to add a battery protect mode (similar to the one in the 1000T) in the near future. Are there any updates planned at all? :head_bandage: Thanks.

I have noticed one more annoying thing - the battery drains pretty fast even if you don't use the device but keep it connected to a laptop in USB DAC mode.

Could you perform a test when you have time: Use the ca1000 without charger to low the battery to 15-20% Connect the charger and use the ca1000 as a USB DAC On the second stage my ca1000 gets hot in around 20-30 minutes.

I have tried an old Samsung phone charger - the same "issue." The ca1000 becomes pretty hot in around 20 minutes after connecting.

It stops charging when the battery is fully charged, it doesn't seem good for the battery to be 100% charged all the time.

Yep, I will try another charger in the morning. The most critical feature I am expecting in further firmware updates is an option to bypass the battery when a charger is connected.

I use Baseus 100W GaN3 Pro USB Charger (it supports PD/QC4.0-3.0)
