Surprise - it arrived early! Too early to do anything but a first impressions, so here are some pictures for size comparison. (LCD-2 because I don't want to take the X out of the box right now, but they're the same size) For comfort: The box was surprisingly heavy, but it was all due...

The official stance from HEDD is that a cable should not change the sound and they’re not selling or recommending any other than the one it comes with. My background is studio as well, so I’m not too invested in trying different cables for sound purposes.

Will do on tuesday, have an LCD-X and the HEDDphone 2 should arrive then.

Hi folks, Since I recently moved to Italy, I’m eager to get to know some head-fiers in the area. I’m located in Bari, but could come to somewhere like Naples or Rome for sure. If I’m hosting, I’d like to get to 5-10 people so we get a decent variety of gear. Who’s up? Andy

Definitely interested…. Located in southern Italy, but coming to Germany would not be a problem. Only thing is, I can’t bring much gear then.

Yes, wait for the GSE software - not that you’re buying the dual Hypsos only for them to release a streamer and then… a triple Hypsos 😄

I like this idea... the GoldenSound DSP?

I have tried it the manual way, with PGGB - takes a while, but you have a file to do A/B comparisons with. I tried it myself with a piece of music that I made myself, because I use streaming for everything else and I thought, I recorded it, I mixed it, if anyone can hear a difference, its me...

I don't think I can link to a comment on a facebook post in a private group, but to quote him:

Thanks, that is also very good to know! But yes, specific hqp settings when using it with the Wandla, which included using PCM, but I’ve deviated from his preferred filters because I found them a bit too detailed and … maybe sterile.

I’m I use HQPlayer with the Wandla, but no DSD - PCM up to 768, and other settings according to GoldenSounds recommendations 😄 can look them up later

If I have understood correctly, you can basically roll back to the other version if you really want to, but I don’t know if there is any chance of getting your money back - they could tie the software to your serial number or some other identifier and give you a trial period, but I really don’t...

Yup, I’m too curious not to

It looks like they have an analog, wired input and a digital, wireless input. So I’d assume the same thing you do, the question is, do you do anything that requires their internal DSP? Room correction is critical for me, so I’d certainly go the wireless route if the analog path would bypass that.

So the Oors outputs are always both on, if you run speakers from it and connect headphones, you’ll have signal on both, and no separate volume adjustment.

Recorded in mqa… if I ever produce anything again I will distribute a CD-R with a 7z file on it.

As of an email from Wojtek from yesterday: "hopefully soon" 😃

Why don't you simulate that right now and put a filter on the test files starting at, say, 18kHz and see if you can still hear any differences? would be interesting I think

Just a random interjection, I have another audio interface on the desktop for my active speakers because the Ferrum stack is not directly connected to the main desktop PC, but yesterday I decided to test it. the bad first: - connected to the Oor in bypass, my speakers did not turn off after 1h...

I don’t use Netflix, but I found this: https://videoconverter.wondershare.com/sync-audio/netflix-audio-delay.html Sorry sorry, back to the M-Scaler topic

You can do a lot with players like VLC that also accept web addresses as input, and there you can set the delay to exactly +- 2.5 seconds

Which rack is that, the hs400? I tried to find a good one for my stack and this must have not existed yet, so I made my own, but I like this better

I still have to change my profile to reflect my status as a dealer, but the Italian Ferrum distributor has indicated that I could order the GS edition anytime! Availability looking good.

I remember hearing through my active speakers when someone 2 stories above me would use a hairdryer… electricity is funny sometimes

It’s not bitperfect then anymore? I thought it’s just using metadata to change gain settings, not lowering the literal volume
