I cancelled my preorder. I just can’t get past that to get the ‘best’ out of it I need to use a cheap cable, skip my DAP, switch to Android and use a sketchy app just to get the tuning it’s designed to have. I think Crin is great and hope this is successful for him but this just isn’t the...

Pro ICan Signature as preamp as well as driving HEKSE

I really want a higher end stand alone DAC that will feed my iCan pro signature. I love the burr brown sound you have developed but I don’t need the x-bass, x-space, tubes, etc that the pro iDSD has because the amp has all that, and I don’t need another headphone output. Basically I want a...

No idea. Don’t shake my gear

Yes. He’s saying words. His words are expressing his happiness and thoughts about his gear. You are saying words. Your words are insulting, rude, and utterly pointless. I know which words help community and which words are those of a bitter and sad person. You don’t have to be that guy.

I’m not sure that several years between revisions is too frequent. The naming convention is poorly executed for sure.

That’s what I like about it, I’ve got a great amp and want a separate DAC, there’s lots of combo options for you

I’m hoping at some point for a stand alone hymalaya pro DAC

I also really love my audiophile ninja cables! The change in sound is from switching to balanced, the higher power output makes sound pop. They are well made cables and I buy them for the ergonomics, they don’t change the sound.

I updated mine with no problems whatsoever

Was lucky enough to get my hands on the HE1000SE and after just a few days of playing with them I’m happily selling my Arya Stealth and am planning on settling in with these for the long haul. I have the same feeling now as I did when I first bought my HE-500 (which I still own 11 years later)...

delete please

I’m actually enjoying it very much so far. My mindset is fine, thanks. I was looking at the Neo as the piece to fill the gap between the zen one and the Pro iDSD and the Neo isn’t as far above as I was hoping. I’d absolutely love the DAC from the Pro iDSD as a separate pure DAC as my Pro iCAN...

I will briefly but I have to sell the zen one to afford the Neo. My audio dealer is a friend who put a lot of effort into helping get the Neo and I won’t return it after all that. This is my fault for not finding this thread when doing my research and now I’ve spent twice as much for at best a...

My Neo is set to be delivered today

The Border Patrol DAC seems interesting but $1500+ for a DAC that is limited to 24/96 is a non-starter for me

It means don’t buy this amp if you aren’t going to use it balanced

I think you are confusing the HE1000 SE with the latest version who some are calling the HE1000 V2 Stealth. They are different headphones

Wow. I just made a huge mistake and ordered a Neo as an upgrade from my zen one for my hifi rig as a pure DAC. damn

As soon as I see ASR my eyes glaze over and I move on

Of course it is. Did anyone think otherwise?

I’m wishing they would come out with a standalone himalaya R2R DAC. I don’t need or want the amp but a good affordable R2R DAC would be intriguing

Definitely looking forward to reading more about these. Doubt I’ll spring for closed backs but curious for sure.
