still avail?

It's helpful to be clear on what Orpheus models we are talking about obviously. However mainly, it would make sense if the DAC portion was designed more as a module. That way people could replace the DAC with whatever was the state of the art as time went on... or some such thing. As it is...

Sounds like a neutral and accurate sound actually....

Yes I sold both my pairs years ago for this reason... not to mention that they can develop issues at any moment being so old and way out of their 'life expectancy' according to Sennheiser. But what a sound.... one of the few headphones where I still have a strong visceral memory of how they...

Headphones have limitations on sounding like you are there due to the limitations of 2 channel recording. Even a relatively poor sounding but well setup multi-channel setup will be MUCH more convincing in tricking your brain in terms spatial cues.

lol... super old thread... hmmm... maybe I have some old pics somewhere...

Not sure what that means - but regarding this thread, I would know - I started it!

Wow.. this thread is still going.  Brings backs lots of memories for me.  I had LOTS of dealings with Mikhail over the 'heyday' period of this thread... usually ending in further frustration.   I haven't been an active member here for years... odd that this thread of all threads brings back...

It was done by a professional audiologist who is also my girlfriend. She has has a doctorate (AUD) and is very knowledgeable. We also sent closed mouth impressions to UE. They have been very kind and working with me -- but I wonder if my perticular ear anatomy is preventing a good seal. We've...

Hey guys - I've been trying unsuccessfully for 4 months now to get the new UERR's to work for me. I've never been happy with ciems but can get etymotics with medium or large foam tips to work. The issue is the headphones sound terrible - lows cut off - but bass is pretty good - and muffled...

Havent been able to get these to work - been trying since jan. Maybe my ear anatomy is different - would love to try an ear scanner. To me they dont fit deeply or at the proper angle to get the sound you all must be hearing -- i need to push them in to get a taste. Ive read up on all the fitting...

Got mine but had to immedietely send back for a resetup. The left ear rattled and caused increased microphonics when I walked. The sound itself was 'meh' and I dont believe I was hearing it as it should be. It did sound much better through the fiio E12a. Hopefully I'll get them back soon with...

This is so true and needs to be understood deeply especially when evaluating sound. When we focus on certain aspects of sound reproduction - our favorite things to notice such as bass timing, treble extension, transient response, etc... we literally experience those qualities in exagerrated...

WARNING OFF TOPIC THREAD HIJACK please ignore if uninterested: I deal with mastering and mix engineers everyday. It's true that modern music is definitely more compressed, but you cannot compare compression, especially when its part of the mixing process and production itself, with sound...

Thanks to everyone I met, chatted with, and who allowed me to listen to their rigs.  And thanks to decentLevi for hosting.     I haven't been to a headfi meet in many years - it was great to see a familiar scene, and to be greeted by my friend Peter, representing Team HeadAmp, right as I...

Well its not easy or not available to find use the eng site.  However, if you go to the original link http://world.taobao.com/item/44240667193.htm?fromSite=main&pid=mm_1100641_2323434_884563&unid=d97fb4211ff8ec68196beb0c1e446df9 you'll notice if you google translate that the top right corner 2nd...

We're all itching for reviews.  I get mine around this coming Wednesday.  Hopefully my molds fit well.   Neil

Well yah. and beyond not being able to answer calls is not easily being able to select songs via touch screen.  I'm fairly active with DJ'ing my music while listening since I'll get the itch after listening to a particular track for something else while hearing what I am listening to.  The...

Silly question but how do you stack it without getting in the way of the iphone's touch screen?  Do you have a pic of the combo?  I'd love to see a clean looking stack with that cable.   Neil

What?!! :scream_cat:

Its 20 a month which while 2x orher services is wuite cheap when you factor in this hobby. You dont need to stream. Download everything in HiFi. Its on your computer and phone in lossless FLAC. People spend more on a single album.

Well anyway search is my friend.  I found some info.  But yah.

Why not?

What do you mean by this?  Are you referring to the mojo + iPhone or iPhone DAC alone compared to the Mojo + iPhone.  I keep hearing people comparing the mojo + some other source and then comparing that to the iPhone.  But what about the iPhone + mojo... it should sound as good as anything else...

But if you use tidal which is lossless and uses flac, it works with the mojo fine right?
