So far, Alclair is the only one I saw. There is an extended deal on Westones I found that I didn't see posted yet. https://www.sweetwater.com/custom/westone/

  Does the Droid Maxx have Lollippop?  If so, it shouldn't be an issue.  If not, you might have to use the USB Audio Player Pro app.

I tried some small mods, but part of the problem is the type of music I have been listening to lately, mostly punk/hardcore/emo stuff.  A lot of it is treble heavy, and some of the recordings are not the best quality.  I think the other part of the problem is that my ears are just drawn to the...

Thanks for the responses.  Sounds like the oppos check another box for me.     I like the HE-400s too, but the treble just kills me.  Vocals also feel distant on it, and I really only use it for bass heavy stuff nowadays. With that said, I am looking for a different sound signature.  The...

Hi all,   I have been looking into a new set of headphones with laid-back treble and full mids, so the oppos popped up on my radar.    I have a question though, how do these fit on smaller heads?  For reference, I own the HE-400s and ATH-M50s.  The M50s fit fine, but the HE-400s they are a...

Hey guys,   I am feeding my microStreamer to a Vali to He-400 right now.  I just listened to the most recent Caribou album, and it sounded great.  The microStreamer adds something that was missing.   This reminds me why I got into this hobby, to enjoy music.  The microStreamer definitely...

 Glad I could help.

  If you want an interconnect cable you can customize, try BTG-Audio.  I ordered my cables from there, and it worked out great for me.  The prices are reasonable as well, a three to six inch mini-mini cable will be less than $40.

I think I found the new official Schiit t-shirt.

Thanks for the response.   I got a chance to try a few different media apps last night, and the one you suggested was the only one that worked.  Also, their USB Audio Player Pro worked, it just took me a minute to realize you need to use the player's volume control to adjust the volume on the...

Thanks for the response.    I haven't had a chance yet, but I was planning on trying different media players.  I'll report back if I find something that works.    It isn't that big of a deal anyways, since most of the time I feed the microStreamer into an amp.

Hello all,   Let me start off by sating I have had the microStreamer for over a year now and it is great.  It works really well as a compact DAC/Amp that I can use in the office with my IEMs.   I just got a new phone (HTC M8) and would like to use it with the microStreamer.  When I plug the...

Thanks for the response.  Since the HE-400s are fairly efficient, I was thinking they should be good to go with the MicroStreamer.  If not, I have a couple of amps I can use.   Either way, I got the HE-400s and will report back on my experience if anybody is interested.

Hi all,   I am sure this has been asked before, but how does the C5 pair with the HE-400s? 

Has anybody been using the MicroStreamer with the HE-400s?  I am thinking about getting my first pair of planars and would like to use them with my MicroStreamer.

Thanks for the responses.  It is a bit reassuring that it is a known issue.

Hi all, I have had the C5 for a little while now and have liked it.  I have an issue with the gain switch however.   Whenever I use the gain switch, it seems to only boost the right channel.  Has this happened to anyone?  I am guessing I might've damaged the amp carrying it in my backpack.

Quote: I'd say if you were only using the C5 with the MicroStreamer, it wouldn't be worth it to get both.  The difference is noticeable in a lot of cases,  but not night and day, and in some cases I do not hear a difference. Some of that might have to do with the soundstage limitations of...

Quote:   I have both the MicroStreamer and the JD Labs C5.  I listen mostly with my Heir Audio 4.As, and I would say the built-in amp on the MicroStreamer is plenty good.  Comparing them side-by-side the only difference I pick up on is the soundstage improves and the treble is a...

If I buy an aftermarket cable, do I need to specify that I have an Heir audio product, or are the socket connectors standard for CIEMs?   I was looking at getting a BTG-Audio starlight cable.  

Quote: Yes I do notice that, but I think I am used to that from my other "neutral" IEMs.  With the 4.As, I feel like everything is there equally with a proper sense of space, it is just up to the source to say what should come through.  The biggest difference compared to the other...

Quote: I wasn't  worried about the bass missing due to a bad fit.  I already went through and did some sine wave sweeps, along with single tone tests, and I could hear everything in the normal spectrum.    I was more worried that the tuning of the 4.As may not be to my liking, but that...

I received my 4.As a few days and have been enjoying myself since. I have comments and observations to add to the discussion.   1) Regarding fit, this is my first CIEM and I was really worried about a bad fit. The first time I put them on, the left one just popped in and needed no...

Woohoo, I also got my confirmation this morning.  I ordered Ziricote with gun metal blue.   I also decided to get one of the new JDS Labs C5 amps to pair with it under the normal Head-Fi justification that I can always sell it if I don't find the pairing optimal.   Now, I have to...

For those that already have one, has there been any hiss with the sensitive IEMs?
