    Naim Uniti Atom Headphone Edition

    I had this problem for a while. Check wifi settings or change wireless access points. I went from completely frustrated by problems to not having a single issue with it in the last few years.

    Fir Audio Radon 6 vs Elysian Annihilator

    Your description of wanting more treble is why I mentioned these. Many people say they have elevated treble. I have them and love them. I think the treble is superb. However, they didn't like all sources. There was too much treble with some of my sources. The iFi Go Bar and Topping DX9 work...

    Fir Audio Radon 6 vs Elysian Annihilator

    Have you thought about the Viking Ragnar? Pair it with something like the iFi Go Bar.

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    As someone who's heard both of these, how do these compare with the Ragnar? I've read a lot of Storm reviews and they all remind me of how I feel about the Ragnar. I'm tempted to seek out a demo of these or the Onyx or maybe try the MG5-EST. I just doubt the MG5-EST has the soundstage which is...

    They were talking RN6. I was just mentioning that it could be the source since I had a similar experience.

    The Viking Ragnar through the iBasso DC Elite also was a bright combo for me. The iFi GoBar has much better synergy with it. The Elite work better with the LCD-5, though.

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    If you can, make your way to a CanJam! I would never have bought another IEM than the KSE1200/Monarch MK2 if I hadn't heard the Radon6 or Noble Viking. The soundstage of the Viking just blew me away..though it has too much treble for many.

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    I've lurked here a looooong time. Posting in order of what I reach for, not sound quality. A couple of these have usability issues that mean I grab them less often than I would. 1. Viking Ragnar 2. LCDi4 3. KSE1200 4. U12t 5. Thieaudio Monarch Mk2. (these are only 5th because they overlap use...

    It's exactly that! It does both so well and images within the soundstage, too.

    Short time lurker, first time poster I went to CanJam Dallas in November and walked around listening to many things. I didn't really think I was gonna find anything that was gonna blow me away, but I just started sitting down at tables and "having a listen". Things that blew me away were the...

    LTA VELO - Headphone Amp / Preamp

    I ordered a Velo right after hearing one at Dallas Can Jam. I'm really looking forward to hearing it in my speaker setup and with some headphones. The wait is hard! I've grown too spoiled by Amazon.

    New Topping DX9 AK4499 - 100% Balanced??

    I ordered the DX9 last month and have been waiting on it. In the meantime Topping has released the D90 III Sabre DAC. They mention 3 different modes with one sounding like tube emulation. I wonder if it adds some 2nd order harmonics. Now I'm wondering if I should go that route instead.

    Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones

    I'm imagining going into a Tom Thumb and seeing the KSE1200 in the checkout line. LOL. Probably closer to the truth is that Japanese supermarkets have electronics sections.

    Any PGGB Cyber Monday sale? 256 for 128 price? :D

    Astell&Kern Launches AK HC4 USB DAC

    Looks great! Is there any ability to equalize within the player itself? Would be nice to hook it up to a SteamDeck and still get the benefits of EQ.

    CanJam Dallas 2023 Impressions Thread (November 11-12, 2023)

    Just back from CanJam. I didn't get to go Saturday, but I made the most of today. I got to meet Brian, Jude, Rob Watts, Jim Moulton from Noble Audio, Phil of PhilPhone fame, and Jacob from LTA. It was a lot of fun to chat and see the people I've read so much about. I also got to try lots and...

    Hifiman HE1000-SE

    I really don't. It could be because I use HQPlayer there, and it's filters bring a good amount of difference. However, I also think the Naim DACV1 isn't bad at all. I felt it was better than my Hugo1 and about on par with the Hugo2.

    Hifiman HE1000-SE

    I agree! A bit of bass boost and taming of the treble and these become so enveloping

    Warwick Acoustics APERIO and BRAVURA

    Thanks for your comparisons! I've been wanting to try the LCD5. I really should have traded some of my IEMs in when Audeze was running their trade in program a couple of months ago. I, too, have a well EQ'd HE1000SE and enjoy it a lot. I want to try the Susvara, but have never been excited...

    Warwick Acoustics APERIO and BRAVURA

    I don't always use crossfeed, but I found with the Bravura that it gave them a more speaker-like presentation and the effect was more noticeable than with other headphones.

    Hifiman HE1000-SE

    I'm glad you at least tried the settings. Sorry you didn't like them. We all have our preferences. The HEKse is so good on technicalities that it can be EQed and still deliver so much goodness, detail, and richness. That, it's soundstage, and the fact that it's so easy to drive is what makes it...

    Hifiman HE1000-SE

    Don't know how I missed that! He also has posted an EQ for the Optimum HiFi curve. Does this mean I actually like Harman? I like whatever the Bravura has targeted. I'll have to learn to make the HEKse match one day. They're very similar with that EQ, with the Bravura maybe having a bit more of a...

    Hifiman HE1000-SE

    Oratory1990 has a HE1000SE EQ that is much warmer. I listen using this most of the time. His list is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets/#wiki_full_list_of_eq_settings.3A and the HE1000SE settings in particular are here...

    Warwick Acoustics APERIO and BRAVURA

    I picked up one of these a month or two ago and have really been liking it. It does timbre better than anything I have, and I really don't feel the need to EQ, though I'm sure I will try at some point. Really, it's just very non-fatiguing and plays everything -- 80's, old school rock, old...
