Quote: That's just how I feel about the HE-6's with my HK930...they just seem to excel at everything - I'm hooked   

Okay, so I couldn't wait any longer...just sprung for a Bifrost as a stop gap measure.   The plan now is to take a much more leisurely decision between the updated D1 and the forthcoming Schiit statement dac.   @project86: I very much hope you get the opportunity to review both these...

Quote: x2 on the Stephen Guo. Really efficient and helpful guy. Made the whole process a breeze.  

Quote: ROTFL, I'm gonna start doing this too.  

Quote: ROTFL, and then some.         

Quote:   Couldn't agree more, I'd certainly be a customer.  Re the FS board: I'm in the UK and I haven't seen a Euro version up for sale yet. Perhaps when the new version is released....    

  @project86   Hi there. I would probably be able to wait more calmly for the updated Anedio D1 had I not finally made the decision to buy one on the very day that it sold out.   As irony would have it, I had been putting off the purchase for some time - as it wasn't urgent and, I...

  Quote:   You might want to look at the Wyred 4 Sound Dac1/Dac2. I've no experience of either, but having done lots of reading whilst trying my best to hang on for the Anedio Mark 2 it would seem a reasonable possibility.    

  Quote: x2 on being really curious to hear what you think...  

  Quote:   Nice looking Yammie. I haven't had the opportunity to try anything from the NS range - so very interested to hear what you think. Hope it works out good for you.     

  Quote: x2 on this. I have the sx750 and the sx1250 and don't believe either is a particularly good match with the HE-6 (though they are both better with LCD2 Rev.1).   My Marantz 2275 definitely plays nicer than either pioneers, but I still think that there is better synergy to be...

Quote:   Thanks for the update.    Not sure I read it quite as positively as you do. "About a month" could easily be 5-6 weeks. Plus that's just for a "more concrete announcement about the release plan" which doesn't sound like an actual product launch on that date. Still, hope I'm...

  Quote: For me, the Miracles pretty much provide "Goldilocks-style" frequency response. I find the balance that they strike between low, mids and highs to be just right. The bass quantity and quality is superior to the HE-6, to my ears. Any more, would probably be a distraction - so in...

  Quote:   Absolutely. I am new to customs and received my miracles a couple of weeks ago. I was all for sending them back until I finally got them seated properly in the ear canal. They sounded just terrible, and I thought I had a dud pair on my hands.   Having got them correctly...

Quote: The HK930 is my preferred weapon of choice with the HE-6, or vice versa. (Much more so than with the LCD2.)   Other than the power difference, I find the headphone out to be very much in the same sonic ballpark as using the speaker taps - and definitely more convenient.   ...

Below is a copy of an email that I've just recently sent Stephen Guo of Unique Melody.     Hi Stephen,   Just to let yo know, the Miracles arrived in good order just a few hours ago.   First off, I would like to thank you for an efficient and totally hassle free transaction.  ...

@ Steve Eddy   I defer to your greater wisdom.   (They still look "blinged-up" to me.   And if those cable mountings get much higher, they'll be sticking out of the top soon.)    

@EddieE   I agree. I think Audeze just about got away with the steampunk look for the LCD2's.   But, blinged-up steampunk...       

Quote: This is the funniest post I've read in ages and ages. Cheers     

Plus... if Anedio were to significantly up the power output so that the HPA section could handle really difficult to drive cans, this could well be to the detriment of other users who want run IEM's out of the HPA. 

  Quote: I do, I do. Thanks for the encouragement.      

  Quote:   Thanks for that info. It certainly adds a potential new angle into the mix. At the moment though, I am still trying really hard to hang on for the D1 ver.2 - especially as I so narrowly missed out on it the first time round..          

Quote: Hi, thanks for the response. I thought that would probably be about the state of the play. I really should try and hang on. That way, I'd get the extra benefit a head-amp section as well, something which neither the W4S or Minimax can offer. Waiting can just be so difficult though...

Does anybody have any info/thoughts on when the revised D1 might become available?   Just my luck, the day I finally made up my mind to go for the Anedio was the day they suspended sales of the original version. And then I failed to notice the recent sale of the refurbished models.   ...

@Bajaiman   Thanks for sharing your thoughts - they were most helpful.   Happy Listening
