But isn't the the manufacturer deciding on how they want it to sound using chosen components?

That's love right there

An amp, in it's purest form does exactly what's it's labelled as. Brands make amps for their own signature. Going back on that silly guitarist amp post, they make their own signature. People buy the JM800 for that sound. Yes, it's an amp, but marshal make it their own. But in a pure amplifier...

There is a cohesive way senn can do that fits. Not sure what I prefer but I don't care..

So after spending a bit of time with the SR3 from the hd700. The bass on the Ibasso is just thumping and clean as a new dish cloth. But... The hd700 bring a flavour, it's muddy, it's there the bass is crap, but I still a bloody good headphone. I'll never sell either, the music on the SR3 is...

Isn't that the brand adding their own flavours? Whereas in general, an amplifier should do exactly that, only amplify.

I believe chord has kept the price of replacement batteries quite low but I didn't see any selling on their website

Desktop mode, or turning the device off, shouldn't make a difference to the battery.

You are never crazy to preferring anything over another. Differently tuned headphones really.

Ie800s are a bit older than the ie600's but they are my go to for metal. That's a lie, the LCDi4 are, but not for that price.

@Andykong do you have to buy what's in your Sig or are they perks? So jealous 😁

Was the conclusion they are truly open headphones unlike the SR2? I can't remember

Oh ok. I hope Sony doesn't ruin audeze

Cause or the word 'gaming' I'd have expected better from audeze though. Is this something to do with the Sony acquisition? I don't know too much about that

How much did the momentum improve with the hip?

Hasn't deterred me from a future meze product. The 109 no doubt

Hip dac. It was nice to handle. Soooo many times over I've almost bought the idsd micro and zen signature stack but it's just never happened

Throughout my teens, decades ago, I'd played the black album by the most generic rock band 'insert Jeremy Clarkson voice ' In The World..... That many times I'd never imagined coming back to it. So got curious and gave it ago with the mojo. I'm actually tapping my foot again reluctantly, there...

Ive read a comment that from the battery it sounds better. O.o

Banger deal, good luck!

If it's trickle charging, won't the menu light flash the colour according to the power it's recieving? As per its menu suggests?

That's all I'm wondering. Does it lose enough charge overnight for 43 minutes of charging before desktop mode...

So it charges for 43 minutes before going into desktop mode after turning it on from the previous day using desktop mode. What's it charging?

The led at the charge port pulsed and a white menu charging rate for 43 mins before desktop mode. No poly.

Was in desktop mode yesterday. Powered off. Got into office today, and plugged it back in and took 43 minutes of charging to enter desktop mode again? Why does it lose power?
