My Rpi2 have no issues with 24/192 files, even DSD files on a flash drive via USB, and this is a stock Rpi2(with runeaudio) straight from the analog hp out(i2s dac still on the way). I won't say I like the sound from the hp out(lots of noise at any volume <100), but all the files have been able...

As I'm current away from home, I'm unable to take any images of the transformer, or the uncovered transformer for that matter since it will require me to unscrew the PCB. I've spent the last few minutes comparing mine with mrarroyo's MPX3 and mine sports a similar transformer other than the...

Hi guys, Been away for a couple of months and came back just to see this...mine is an MPX3 Slam, and I've included some pictures of the innards I took while cleaning the amp 2 weeks ago, no visible staining or bulging caps. I have no issues with it under regular use until now that it has...

I find it rather amusing that while the Diablo drew so much flak over the last few threads, someone still pushes ahead with a "Diablo Review Coming!" topic, which is obviously going to encourage more of this "mob lynching" onto himself? So whats the point of this thread? For the record, I...

Hi, I too have recently been lucky enough to come into the possession of a MPX3 Slam from a fellow Head-fier, tho due to some unforseen circumstances, it has been sitting there unused until I can break open the worn out and rusty screws to remove some loose nuts inside the enclosure. My...

Hi guys, Not sure where else would be a suitable place to post this, so I figured the lounge would be the best place? I was already in the midst of making an appointment with the audiologist to get my impressions done but a recent bout of persistent jaw pain has been putting me off. My...

I received mine earlier this week, I paid almost 2 years back.... A friend of mine(same location but ordered quite abit later) has not gotten his yet. I believe priority has been given to those earlier on the list, so the people who paid <1 year ago just got to be more patient...Those...

wow...didn't know that yoiu guys wanted the leather pads that badly...I must have been very lucky for I "just" happened to bumped into someone who was "just" planning to get the Manufacturs. Nevertheless, I wish you guys luck !!!

I posted this before, but im still lovin the leather!

so far theres only ONE pair of these adjustable ones and they are with skylab at the moment...

Thats why I asked, I also got mine from the "headphone deals" section and yours looked like mine(can be seen on previous pages) but mine did not state "deep bowls". Or was it an internal tweak?

hmm, sulcata_geo, is "deep bowl" an additional option for the standard headphile deal?

Now back with leather !!!

The leather pads are about 30 euros, and I got mine only through a friend who ordered them as "spares" for his Manufacturs...

I prefer the sound of my Darths(770pro/80) using my SM3v6(OPA637) than my desktop tube amp(Xiangsheng 708B). With the tube amp, the soundstage was wider and instrument separation was slightly better, but the Xin somehow just makes the mosic more enjoyable, especially with the bassboost and...

I actually expected this pair to be snapped up much earlier, wonder whats putting people off?...no doubt, open Darths must sound good...I'm loving my closed one thus far .

I managed to get a cheap wooden stand(~USD$20) and now my Darths are sitting "sadly" on it, they are happy when they are on my head . Pardon the bad lighting tho, the Darths look much better in actual with the "moving grains".

Nice lad27! That snake statue/stand surely compliment the Beyers very well.

Have had these for quite some time but was caught up with work, nevertheless, finally managed to take some photos of them. Darth Beyer Elite V3, fancy figured Sapele... More images can be seen here. I must really thank Larry for his excellent craftsmanship, this is truly a piece of art...
