I'm going on a trip soon so unfortunately I dont have time to get these repaired properly. As you can see in the photo there is a crack on the backside of my 64 audio a18ts, as well a chunk that came out near the headphone connector itself. I located the missing chunk and put a super light...

Is there anything with a similar form factor that would be considered better than the hugo? I am just looking for something for CIEMs that i can plug in and have a high quality dac / amp. Since its IEMs I don't think I need a ton of power.

Hey guys, is Hugo 2 still considered the best small transportable DAC in 2020? Is there anything better out there now that competes with it? Thanks!

I like to use my IEMs sometimes with different sources other than the Sony Dap. Swapping the cables all of the time is a lot of work and probably can't be good for the good connections on the IEMs. Is there any easy way to get a simple adapter that could convert it to 3.5mm? Thanks

I forgot to mention, I do spend a lot of time on public transit so isolation is probably very important.

Wondering if I should just go with something like Airpods for the noise canceling feature or look at a proper high end IEM if my use case here is only dialogue alone. I do spend a lot of time on loud public transit so isolation is probably important. Price doesn't really matter, just looking for...

I am running 64 Audio A18T customs and am looking for a desktop amp. I don't need a DAC, just an amp with RCA inputs (I want to listen to vinyl) I'm having trouble deciding what to get. It needs to have suitable gain (or a switchable gain that would work with IEMs). Does anyone have any...

Can I go straight out of a phono preamp into CIEMs? Not sure how I'd accomplish this, maybe some sort of specialized cable? or do I need a standalone amp as well?

Currently torn between the Spiral Ears SE 5 way ultimate and the 64 Audio A18T CIEMs for my NW-WM1Z. Which one do you guys think is better matched?

Just got a Sony NW-WM1Z DAP. My current full size can set up that I really enjoy is Audeze LCD-3 paired with Cavali Liquid Fire tube amp. I guess I'm looking for a similar sound with custom IEMs to add to my new DAP. I value a neutral sound with accurate low end bass you can feel (like the...

One of the biggest things that have held me back from buying custom IEMs as opposed to normal ones is it seems like there are no return policies in place that allow an easy free return within 30 days if not satisfied, etc. Is anyone aware of any companies doing this? I'm worried I will be stuck...

I'm using a 2.5mm balanced cable on my Shure SE846s for use with my AK240. Only issue is, sometimes I also like to listen to things off of my phone (eg internet radio etc) and don't want to have to keep swapping cables out. Is there any sort of adapter that would work so I could use it with a...

I'm using the Shure SE846s with the AK240 DAP, and was wondering, is there any possible way to determine the at ear spl? I did some searching and found some threads from a few years ago, but no real good answer to this question. My hearing already isn't the best and I want to avoid damaging it...

Question to anyone who is using the Silver Litz cables, what effect do they have on the bass versus the stock cables? Is there any loss in bass versus stock? Also what DAP are using your setup with? Anyone running the AK240? What are your thoughts on it? I'm considering buying this cable right now.

  Thanks a ton! While we're on the topic of isolation, as far as custom IEMs go, does anyone know just howmany more decibels customs reduce the ambient noise versus univerisal IEMs with a proper seal?

Just curious, as I work in a fairly loud environment, and am trying to avoid hearing damage caused by turning the volume up too far on my in ear monitors.   The ambient noise level where I work is roughly 80dbA constant I'm not sure how many decibels are reduced just by having the IEMs in. Any...

I just purchased the AK240 and was curious as to how many hours of break-in time (hours) is required for optimal sound, and what break-in method is preferred?   I haven't been able to find any answers besides some joke respones. *eyeroll*

Have you any of you gotten a chance to compare the SE846 with the AKG3003I? Someone in a local audio shop said they preferred them a lot more than the SE846. Was curious if any of you have done a direct comparison.

I was considering purchasing this, TRSS balanced:   http://www.whiplashaudio.com/new-twag-v3-shure-iem-cable.html   Is the 8 conductor version worth the extra money? What are the differences in sound?

  Have you done any A/B testing withe SE846 + AK240 with a portable amp, and without?

How many of you are currently using this mod on the 240?   http://redwineaudio.com/mods/rwak240     Is it worth it? I'm looking to use just the AK240 with no portable amp with the Shure SE846. Will the RWAK240 end the need for any sort of portable amp?

  Would it be the same for FLAC as WAV?

For those of you that currently own the AK240, how many hours of battery life do you get when playing standard 44.1 flac files? 

I just picked up a pair of SE846, and was just wondering for these headphones does the AK240 really make that huge of a difference, or would I be fine with something like Fiio X5?

Just picked up my 846s today, and was wondering something. Are you supposed to push the earphone tips down as far as they will go until they are flush up against the headphone, or are you just supposed to push them down until they cover the little indentation?
