    IMR R3 Halcyon, R3 Phase, R3 Semper - Discussion / Impressions Thread

    Again who are these supposed people who have the Mia? Edit: actually I guess you're right, apparently those did start shipping already.

    IMR R3 Halcyon, R3 Phase, R3 Semper - Discussion / Impressions Thread

    Noone except maybe Bob and people near him IRL have ever heard a Mia so how is anyone supposed to answer your question? They haven't shipped to anybody afaik... I personally wouldn't get the mia if I had the halcyon and was already getting a semper. Edit: I was wrong apparently they started...

    I suppose that would depend on whether or not you think the driver changes will change or fix the bits you didn't like about the rah, how much the difference in price (if any) means to you, vs what you think you will like about the acoustune 1677ss, and how much you want a 2 pin connector or...

    It's well under $1k with the discount code... it wouldn't break your rule at all~ I guess not a previous customer though.

    Both look like 50% on mine except the thing it's on is parallel with the plug in one and at a 45 degree angle on the other... so whatever it is it seems there is some uh variability in how it is placed in there. I haven't taken the screws off at this point.

    Yin Lu Mei m400 portable usb dac/amp (Ak4499, 3.5SE, 4.4BAL)

    I don't have a D90 to compare to yet, my friend who was gonna get that broke his custom JH audio iems and is getting that fixed first instead. That & cv stuff derailed my comparison plans. Maybe I should go ahead and do that with just the dacs I have, I am still fine with it besides that the...

    Yin Lu Mei m400 portable usb dac/amp (Ak4499, 3.5SE, 4.4BAL)

    So maybe I don't have anything sensitive enough to get noise @ 80, but I did have some noise @ volume settings over 100-120 depending on the headphone, also can hear clicks as it changes volume settings as you approach 127. Those settings would have been painfully loud if it was playing...

    So mine passed QC on 3/30... they decided you needed to show off your finger prints so now that one blank side has a glass pane attached to it :/ Otherwise I am just trying it out. So far it sounds good to me... I am just using the charge that it came with out of the box.

    Not really, I don't really think there's many of them in existence... they just came out in late Dec. How good is your chinese / translate engrish comprehension? Useful stuff like "Background black hole, AK4499 full of blood, mobile phone enhances decoding artifact! " can be found on taobao...

    I just wanted to warn you, I'm waiting myself... it's been over a month now, kind of expect to wait another month. Not a whole lot I can do about this unfortunate virus situation.

    I just want to say that there is basically 1 vendor, they do not have any stock, and I don't have any reasonable expectation that they will soon.

    iFi Hip-DAC Impressions Thread

    It is my impression that advanced segment doesn't split it into "bass/hifreq" it shows the upper 6 bits (MSB/positive or negative + 5 bits of a 24 bit signal) determine the segment so the largest chunk of voltage is generated by the ladder, in "big" steps, then delta sigma adds in the other 18...

    Fidelice: Rupert Neve's new line of Home Hifi equipment

    Based on the published specifications, I'm going to say yes... Seems like 700$ for a rounded trapezoid and "signed" wooden veneer on top. All of the listed specs, even the dimensions, were exactly the same.

    IMR RAH - Discussion / Impressions Thread

    I just use 2.5mm -> 3.5 / 4.4 / 6.35 / 4 pin xlr adapters and have them all use a 2.5mm trrs cable by default. I used to wire all my headphones to 4 pin mini xlrs with a system very similar to dunus except not a proprietary plug :/ my fancier stuff is sometimes terminated in a 4 pin full xlr...

    I could never tolerate a portable with a type A plug, C or bust thx. I understand it's for iphone users to use the camera kit or whatever... still, that's a deal breaker for me on a portable, though I suppose iphone users are a bigger market than me.

    I thought uapp was supposed to let you change vol through the dac instead of android, in which case it's probably fine. There's a vol display on the little led screen no, if that is changing with uapp volume I would guess it's fine? I don't actually see where it says that they are class A but...

    Do you ever actually need to go up to 80/100 volume? I would report back my findings but yeah... still waiting about a week now still hasn't shipped at all I'm pretty sure. Stupid coronavirus :(.

    Obscure Chinese DAPs

    I'm almost offended that it has a usb-c charging port and then mini and b type inputs. And the 4 pin xlr is upside down from every other device using that plug I've ever seen (pinout probably the same but I guess that only matters if it's a locking plug, or every printed arrow is on the top of...

    NoVa/DC area meet 2/20/11 impressions

    So I actually broke the headband on my 650, you couldn't see because I had the cheap cover over it but it's all epoxied together in the middle with some cut up hair pins.  Actually I think there's a good chance it is sturdier now than it ever was before.  When I bought the 650 they were $299...

    NoVa/DC area meet 2/20/11 impressions

    Fair enough, if you never go that far on the volume knob anyhow it shouldn't be a problem.  I was just curious if this is common to all asgards or if the problem was elsewhere somehow?  I don't really listen all that loud and it wasn't really a problem while I was listening to music, just while...

    Have you tried it with other dacs to see if they also make the same buzz?  I really don't think that should be normal behavior but who knows.
