I cancelled my day-one 8xx preorder earlier this week before the "preview reviews" hit. After watching both of them and reading the reviewers comments in the discussion section I have no regrets. For such a high profile exclusive launch Drop could have done a much better job here. They should...

I don't believe any of my DCA/MrSpeakers headphones have ever came wrapped in cellophane. Just plain unassuming black boxes (which is fine by me).

I have spent over an hour on hold between Friday and today trying to get an answer on the post-warranty support question "straight from the horse's mouth" - rather than trying to decipher the shifting answers from Will at Drop. I don't see any reason why they would care where it was bought after...

I suspect preorders will pick up when some reviews finally hit the street. Normally when they launch an exclusive like this they have multiple reviews locked and loaded at day 0, but not this time - which is surprising. Assuming Drop nailed the tuning like I feel they did with my Ether CX (I...

Question for you Dan @mrspeakers ... I read your comments in here about the original Aeon 2 tuning versus the Ether CX. That being said, what are your thoughts on the new Aeon 2 Noire (closed) versus the CX? For what it's worth from a personal taste perspective, I run foam only tuning pads on my...

I would assume Sennheiser could care less where you bought it from once the warranty expires. Most headphones are a pretty easy DIY fix anyway, but based on Will's comments it doesn't sound like Sennheiser will be leaving us "out in the cold" once the warranty expires. I know I have had no...

Will responded to my post-warranty coverage question - as follows: "If you want to pay for out of warranty service, I'd start with Sennheiser service and go from there. Our arrangement with them is around warranty request coverage; I don't see any reason they would refuse paid service on the...

With all due respect, I have no problem with the Drop or Head-Fi moderators deleting posts using swear words or posts that resort to name calling. Freedom of speech is one thing, but if you can't have a civilized discussion then you shouldn't be surprised if you get moderated. Drop and Head-Fi...

FYI, Zeos review is up today: Short version - he loves it!

FYI for anyone who doesn't have one yet, Amazon is currently selling the LP for $615.99 and has six of them used for under $500! I have had mine since late 2018 and still love it... Great amp - particularly at these prices.

I have owned my M0 for over a year now and I just wanted to say that I have been really impressed with the support @Shanling has given the M0! Speaking in terms of how fast things move in this industry it has been out for a while, but you guys keep releasing regular updates which add features...

FYI, the issue I was having with the volume down button sometimes raising the volume was resolved with the new firmware released today. I have yet to test out if 5GHz wireless performance has improved, but hopefully it has. This is all HiBy says about the update on their Facebook page: 1...

I got my R5 a couple of days ago and finally got around to using it today. Has anyone else had issues with the volume down button being flaky? I would say about 50% of the time it actually raises the volume. Unrelated to the volume issue, I have experienced some of the Wi-Fi connectivity issues...

I know that, but "keep in mind" that Dan's username on here is still mrspeakers - hence my reference.

@mrspeakers Quick suggestion from an owner who travels with your headphones (ECX currently). Can you guys start adding straps or, at a minimum, a loop for carabiner (or cord/strap) to your cases? That way, even if the case is too big to put in a backpack, you can easily clip it on. I think this...

I like the Ether 2 on my Liquid Platinum. I am relatively new to the tube rolling game, but of the tubes I own I prefer the Sylvania 6922 D-getters with them the most. I find the Amperex 6922 PQ and Siemens 6922 E188CC I own a bit too "polite" for the Ether 2. As for the GS-X Mini and the Ether...

Zeos finally got his Ether CX review up: Short version, he "loves" them - a lot... He has been using the Ether Flow C as his "reference" headphones for years now, and he seems to like the tuning of the Ether CX even more than the Ether Flow C. As for me, I continue to love Ether CX for office...

That explains why I remember a Mytek at your table. I heard the Blue Hawaii / Voce combo both last year and this year at Axpona... Probably the best amp / headphone combo I have ever heard at any price. I was so close to buying the Voce at the show, but went Ether 2 instead because I didn't want...

Thank you for the clarification. I thought I saw a Brooklyn+ at your table, but I listened to so much (was there 2 days) that it all blended together. It is also worth mentioning that the Liquid Glass was a far more expensive amp than the GS-X Mini, so it definitely wasn't an "apples to apples"...

I hope I'm all set on a tube amp for a while... I picked up a Liquid Platinum back in November - love it! I was just chiming in on the discussion a few posts up. As for the E2, it is my third Ether and I am definitely a planar fan. I was running Magnepan speakers long before I had planar headphones.

Thanks for that feedback! The construction and build quality were fantastic. I look forward to hearing the final production model once it's shipping.

I believe it was a Mytek Brooklyn+, which is exactly what I use in my main 2-channel system. And it wasn't an issue with the Ether 2... I heard it on both the Liquid Glass and the Manley Absolute MrSpeakers had at the MrSpeakers booth - and I'm liking what I am hearing so far breaking in my own...

I heard the GS-X Mini at Axpona over the weekend with the Ether 2 and I wasn't super impressed by it either. Obviously it's hard to do any critical listening in an environment like that, but I thought the Liquid Glass driving the Ether 2 at the MrSpeakers booth next door was vastly superior. I...

Well I'm part of the E2 crew now... Picked them up yesterday at Axpona! I also have both sets of the new pads coming once they start shipping. Anyway, they are breaking in on my 789 right now, but I look forward to listening to them on my Liquid Platinum soon :o2smile: As for cheaper tube amps...

FYI, this is a good option if anyone is looking for a hard case to use with the ECX: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BF6IKL4 I was going to get another MrSpeakers hard case, but I really wanted something with a strap - and the ballistic nylon should hopefully hold up well to wear. Also...
