    MrSpeakers ETHER Flow and ETHER C Flow -- Inspired by Electrostatic Headphones

    Hoping the upgrade will be reasonable.   My expectation would be the difference in MSRP between the C and the C flow.. maybe a little more.   Eagerly awaiting the upgrade plan details :D

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

      It seems to like them both equally. I modded my HD800 with the superdepont mod before I hooked everything up today.   Going to give it a few weeks before I start tube rolling, otherwise I'll never stop lol

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Alright..    I blame all of you for this.. but here's my completed audio setup that these headphones inspired me to do.   (funny how one purchase can inspire another.. and another.. )       DAC - Gungnir Multibit Amp - Mjolnir 2 w/ stock tubes Cables - Wywires w/ custom HD 800 and...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Ouch. that's horrible.​   imo, Audeze should have just sent you a new pair of headphones. Same with the other person who waited 3+ weeks to have faulty drivers replaced.   Back on topic, at least my Ether-Cs will be arriving on the same day as my new Schiit! (Gumby and Mjolnir 2)

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    I don't want to derail the thread, but I feel the need to voice my displeasure with Mr. Speakers service.   I got my Ether-C on May 2nd and they were great. Later, I noticed a problem with the headband on May 11th, and contacted Mr. Speakers via the website.   To their credit, they responded...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Impatiently waiting to get my Ether-C back from Mr. Speakers.   I shipped them in last week to get a small issue w/ the headband fixed.   They were supposed to be shipped out yesterday, but haven't heard if they actually were or not.   The wait continues.. hopefully next week I'll have...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    ​ I would definitely be interested in a balanced cable that could be used with the HD800 and the Ether-C..

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    I've noticed a problem w/ my ether-c.. one of the spokes on the headband popped out on the left side. looks like the screw securing it is a little loose and it just slipped out of the hole.   Looks like it would be simple to just put it back in and tighten the screw down again, but I don't...

    That's what I was afraid of..    Maybe I can find one that I can use w/ my HD800 and the Ether-C

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    This is going to be a real noob question..   Right now, I have the DUM cable w/ the 3.5mm termination.   Eventually, I'm probably going to want to run these balanced when I'm ready to get a new setup for home.   Will I need a whole new cable for that or is there some kind of 3.5mm to XLR...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Thanks.   It's sounding pretty good at 12 on eco mode. I'll probably do more tinkering and see what I think of normal mode.   Also, you people with your Yggys and Rags... staaaahp. tempting me.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    got my iFi DSD Micro in today.   Currently have it looked up in place of my current schiit stack (Bifrost uber and Vali 1) for testing purposes.   Will probably take it with me to work tomorrow to use there.   I've had to crank up the volume to slightly over half to get "full" sounding...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    I don't think the LC is going to be in the cards for me.   In the future maybe someone will decide to sell theirs if they get tired of it :)   the $500 for the Ifi Micro-DSD is about the most I'm willing to part with right now, so I'll probably go with that one for now and start saving for a...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Okay.. I gave in and bought a pair of Ether C's.   I'd blame everyone in this thread, but the truth is I didn't read everything until after I'd purchased them.   I was wanting a closed headphone for use at work due to some particularly noisy people in the office next to mine, so I started...

    Fulla (by) Schiit - News, photos, thoughts, impressions, etc.

    What a piece of schiit this thing is...   Unfortunately, mine is one of the defective ones.. so I emailed Laura.   Hoping for a speedy and satisfactory resolution to the problem, though I have little doubt that I'll get exactly that.   It does sound good at 44.1khz, though..

    magni modi stack right under computer monitor and beside speakers okay?

    I have mine right next to my 27" apple cinema display with speakers present on the bottom of the monitor  and I haven't had a problem.   Make sure you don't have a cellphone or another device with a cellular radio next to it otherwise you may hear some interference from that.

    NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!

    I opened mine up today and saw that my tubes weren't pushed down that well.   So I pushed them down and I noticed that the microphonics when plugging in my headphones were much less pronounced. Now they only take about 20-30 seconds to settle down. Before, it was closer to 1 minute.

    Yeah, that's a good point.   I'll definitely be doing some a/b when it gets here.   When i say "horrible" I mean in the sense that I've opened the door to "oh, well now I need a pair of HD800 to compliment my new toys"   I'm discovering that the world of personal hi-fi is (potentially) a...

    Got to say, that's a hell of a way to start off :D   Congrats on your new Schiit!   edit -      Their store page seems to indicate that they expect to be able to ship more asgard2 units this week. I'm sure if you sent an email to info@schiit.com they could let you know how things are...

    NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!

      Were you having problems with ringing in a particular channel that made you decide to open it?   Will be interested to hear about your results!

    Mine doesn't have this problem.   I'd say it's not normal.

    NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!

    Got my Vali today and hooked it up to the Modi (disconnected the Magni)..   I got some minor microphonics when I first turned it on (I made it a point to power it on before connecting my headphones so i could see how bad they were)   I also hear a little when I touch the volume pot, but not...
