    Focal Bathys - Wireless ANC Over-Ear Headphone

    It works perfectly with the iPad Pro so presumably will be the same.

    CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread

    What a fantastic day, got to try so much. Highlights for me was finding myself evaluating the Hedd v2 alongside @jude - he seemed to be as impressed as me, and interacting with Zeos and crew at the q and a seminar! The Arya organic was also impressive and I was also able to confirm to myself...

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    I just updated the app, played a few tracks and whole device has frozen, nothing responds screen or buttons. I've also removed card and still frozen. Is there any way to reset?

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    So I have an ongoing issue with Qobuz, latest app and firmware where it initially won’t output anything even though track appears to be playing. Doesn’t happen with stock app or Apple Music. After an about a minute (or one or two app closes) it then works fine.

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    I thought that HiBy had something superior implemented. That's disappointing and a deal breaker for me as I was hoping for a self-contained way of using Roon Arc.

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    I was of the understanding that the R6 III was able to bypass the android limitation across the whole system - is this not correct?

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    I will have my local Roon files on the player as well, but the way Roon integrates everything along with Qobuz as well as all the discovery features makes using Arc very appealing when I've got a good internet connection.

    HiBy R6 III (Gen 3) Android digital audio player, Dual ES9038Q2M, Class A / AB amplification switch, Snapdragon 665, Open Android 12 OS, DSD512 / PCM768

    I'm thinking of replacing my ageing Fiio M11 with this DAP. Has anyone with it used Roon Arc and if so what does it run like? Is bit perfect playback implimented with this app?

    Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

    Can't you mold the top section down more where it is close to the normal cable? At least then your ear would hold it in place.

    Most overrated headphones?

    You could also argue that the Empyrean is one of the most most underated headphones - many people share your view in spite of how popular they are with others.

    MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread

    Problem with these zany finishes is that boredom sets in at some point. I much prefer the timeless silver finish (or black with the Emyprean) for longevity.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    No doubt, but paired with the 2go and Roon, it would take something significantly better to sway me. It is so useful to be able to choose listening locations in the home on the fly according to proximity of other people. Even the garden at the moment. It certainly isn't a DAP for me on the move...

    CanJam London 2022 Impressions Thread (July 30-31, 2022)

    So did I and wasn't blown away. I also tried it with my Hugo2 and it just about coped - at max volume setting!

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    I use a Hugo 2 exclusively and it sounds great with power to spare. I think it combines well with the Empys in that it counters some of the darkness. I certainly didn't feel the desktop setups at CanJam at the weekend made it feel inadequate.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    Fortunately when I got my Empys 2 years ago, the dealer agreed to substitute the stock cable with the silver and offset the price accordingly. May be worth anyone making a new purchase to ask for the same.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    I'm listening to mine as we speak and totally agree. After a few weeks of playing with different EQ settings and switching between pads, I've settled on alacantra with no EQ. The smooth relaxed presentation immerses me and I stop analysing technicalities any more!

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    I don't think there was any doubt about the specificity of the hybrid pads for the Elite, rather their compatibility with the Empyrean which is not clear on your website (in spite of what has been posted here). Thanks for the clarification.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    The fact that 2 different sets are included with the Empyrean surely is encouragement to experiment with pads

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    It seems puzzling and contradictory to me that they encourage switching earpads as a way of tuning the Empyrean, but suddenly now seem to be keeping the new pads just officially for the Elite with no mention of their cross-compatabillty.
  20. phillevy

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    They aren't showing in the drop down box for the Empyrean pads along with the the others, only for the Elite. They either aren't compatible or Meze don't seem to want to encourage Empyrean owners to purchase them.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    So the new Elite hybrid earpads are now listed and specifically only for the Elite. Very disappointing.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    It's the basis of my system along with the 2go. I think there is a particular synergy with the Empy as others have said as it counters some of the darkness.

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    Has anyone had the chance to compare the Hugo2/2go with the Naim Uniti Atom headphone edition?
