    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    To clarify, there's no need for the MM2 to go into standby. However, the MM2 is preventing linked devices (amps etc) from doing so. Schiit has replied that this is intended functionality but this is a big issue. All European electronics manufacturers are required to implement standby modes, as...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Need some help with a quirk on my Modi Multibit 2. Will reach out to Schiit but also posting for advice: My MM2 is wired to the Magni and an external amp (Lyngdorf TDAI-1120) via RCA splitters. The Lyngdorf amp is configured to go into standby after a preset timeout. However, the Lyngdorf...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Thanks! I've learnt the importance of enjoying your music (with what you have) rather than blindly chasing for equipment. Also realised the Unison USB implementation is a lot more robust. Used to get some weird RF interference with the MM1 (I could hear occasional buzzing from my mouse...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Managed to do a comparison of my old-vs-new stack comparison. Switched to black finishing and as a result bought an entirely new stack (MM2 + Magni 3+). Old stack was a Magni 3 + MM1 (version 1 firmware). Allowed the MM2 to be turned on for 6 hours before listening. Couldn't do an A/B...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Was probably one of the first 10 orders that came out, and my order has shipped! In case some were wondering... Replacing a old Modi Multibit v1, can't wait.

    Creative Super X-Fi headphone holography

    I had the opportunity to attend the same demo as the AVSForum guys. If you can see in the video, there were two options available for profile capture. First one being the pinnae/head photo, and second one being the head/pinnae photo + in-ear mic test tone sweeps. I did the latter option. Cans...

    New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion

    It's been a while since I used my DF Red. Took it out for a spin on my iPhone X, and realised I can no longer change my volume settings. It's permanently fixed to 80% (or 0%). Running iOS 11.1.1, on the USB 3 CCK. DF Red is running at latest 1.06 firmware. Never had this on my iPhone 6. Anyone...

    Linum update and the new Linum Super BaX on tour

    Adding a review, as part of the Linum tour. I’m keeping this objective. Note that I used to be a Linum cable user (referring to as the old Limum). All views are my own. Build impressions: cables are much thicker vs old Linum. No tangle issues here, the thicker cables also help with user...

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

      Think it might be too early to comment, but the mesh does look like a protective mesh in front of the membrane. I could be wrong.   BTW am experiencing problems with my MAMs: the membranes on both sides look different (see attached), and I get varying effects even when I open the valves all...

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

    A little off topic from above's topic, but need some advice:   I ordered a pair of A12s, and sent in my impressions via my local distributor during the BF sale. Unfortunately after two months, just got a call that my ears are too small for the A12s, and I can only choose up to the A6s with no...

    Westone Phones and repair

    Have a UM3X RC purchased back in 2012, and had my fair share of repairs/RMAs due to loose cables. They were promptly repaired and replaced under warranty, but were just unreliable.   Recently the right IEM female connector was slightly dislodged within the shell, but the cable connection was...

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

    BTW guys, if you're ordering your IEMs, note that there'll be a new Charcoal (sort of grey translucent) shell option available come BF. Free for all A series, $25 charge otherwise.   Do take note... and I've ordered mine! can't wait.

      Thanks. In fact, my local distributors have announced upcoming BF sales. It's going to be an exciting week (arranging impressions and all that...)

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

      Wonder if you could share on your location, and if this 20% sales applies to all distributors worldwide?   PM me if it's inconvenient.

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm coming from a Westone UM3X, and I've always had the infamous loose connection (the IEM just pops off from the cable!). When something becomes loose, would this be more of a loose male, or female connectors?   Would be inclined to think that it's the...

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

      Could you also post a review of the V6-S versus the A12s? The V-6S is known to have a warm signature, so interesting to hear your comparisons on this.   Also, on the sockets option, I guess most have chosen the recessed option? Most 3rd party manufacturers have an option for recessed sockets?

    Westone ES-60 custom IEM review & the RMAF Westone In-Ear Experience review

    BTW, wonder if you have done any comparisons against the 64 Audio ADEL series, particularly the A6? That seems to have the closest tonality versus the Westones.

    Westone ES-60 custom IEM review & the RMAF Westone In-Ear Experience review

    Very, very interesting, thanks for sharing.   I'm on a hunt for a pair of CIEMs: being a UM3X user ranks the ES60 right up there, despite not having heard it before. The most satisfied sound signature in my auditions was actually a UM Pro 50, very engaging despite a slight bass bloom and a bit...

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

      Thanks - this is indeed very encouraging. I'm looking to pair the ADEL CIEMs unamped with my iPhone 6. BTW has anyone compared the A6 versus the rest? Unfortunately my part of the world only has the A10 / A12s / V6-S for audition.

    ACS Custom Sleeves With Westone 3

    Sorry to be such a thread-digger, but wonder if there are any newer updates on this?   I'm also looking around for a pair of custom sleeves for my Westone UM3X RC, and am looking between the UM56s and ACS. Sadly, there seem to be issues plaguing both solutions...

    Westone UM3X Thread

    Thanks all for the assurance - I'm a UM1 user, and imagine the shock when I saw this..   Anyway, on a sidenote, do you think its worth it to get the RC version? I don't mind paying slightly extra for this, but have heard that there tend to be connectivity issues with the cables.

    Westone UM3X Thread

    Just wanted to check with you guys on the build quality of UM3Xes:   I just received mine in the mail, and to my utmost horror, the build quality is really bad. The seal between the plastic tube and the IEM body is poorly joined, with glue remnants and stuck flint(!) slathered all over...

    Review : AUDINST HUD-MX1 DAC/amp - a promising newcomer (compared to Audio-gd FUN, AMB Gamma2)

    I just got this to pair with my AE5s, and they are indeed a significant difference compared to the old Audigy 2 card I was using. However, some quirks, and wonder if you guys could advise:   1) There are instances where the MX-1 can't sap enough power from the USB bus (i.e. faint indicator...
