    Sony WH-1000XM4 BT Connectivity

    Hello, I just ordered a pair of Sony XM headphones. I’d like to be able to use these during the day for work, primarily zoom meetings, etc. (Put them on as needed to attend meetings) I’d also like to use them after hours to connect to my iPad for music, YouTube, etc. What Would be the best /...

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    An Audeze rep returned my call regarding the missing wood oil.  Evidently there was a recent change in regards to how the wood is coated/sealed and the oil is no longer needed thus they don't include it.  Looking at mine, there's no way that the oil could penetrate the coating as it's very...

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    I couldn't agree more.  I just got my HA-1 and LCD3s yesterday and I've been listening at around 10-11 o'clock (high gain / balanced) and my hearing isn't all that great.  The syngergy is absolutely fantastic.  The neutral characteristics of the HA-1 complements the LCD-3 very well IMHO.

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Just got my LCD-3s and confirmed they are the Fazor revision.  Everything was sealed and looks great but I'm not seeing that wood cleaner bottle, wipes or the frequency response printout.  (I thought these items were supposed to be included)  Should I have received these items or does Audeze...

    Thanks.  Is the S/N on the cans or the packaging?

    Thank you.  So basically just rub your fingers across the mesh within the cups and feel for the ridges?

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Hello, I have a pair of LCD-3s arriving today.  Although I was informed that they are the fazor revision, is there a way for me to confirm that when they arrive? (is it marked anywhere, is there a visual difference, do I need to physically feel for the fazor within the cups, etc.)  Thanks!

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Thanks.  I wasn't sure if using a 3.0 cable would have any detrimental effects on the audio being that the amp is spec'd at 2.0.

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    I have an HA-1 arriving tomorrow and I noticed that the USB specs are 2.0.  Can I purchase a USB 3.0 cable or does it have to specify 2.0? I'm assuming the 3.0 cables would be backwards compatible but I want to make sure.  I was looking for a 3-foot cable and our local Best Buy only had the...

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Thank you.  After reading a review on Inner Fidelity for the HA-1, (reviewed using LCD-3s) I think I'm definitely leaning towards the OPPO. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/affordable-and-transparent-oppo-ha-1-headphone-amplifierdac

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Thank you!  I've narrowed it down to either the OPPO HA-1 or the new Conductor Virtuso.  There's about an $800 difference so I'd like to make sure that the extra money is worth it.  I was completely sold on the OPPO but I'm now having second thoughts about pariring it up with the LCD-3s and...

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Thank you for the education.  I'm still somewhat new to this so please excuse my ignorance. :-)   I'm also open to the Burson Conductor / Conductor "Virtuoso" if anyone has any insight to these pairings.  I'd like to keep it solid state and preferably an amp/dac combined solution.  I may be...

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Thank you for the quick response.  Yes, I would plan on using the balanced cable based on the OPPO specs that I reviewed.   I'm just wondering if it has enough power being that you need to run the volume knob between 12 and 3 on high gain.  I'm just a newbie so I'm not sure if that's typical...

    Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread

    Hello, I'm thinking about purchasing the LCD-3s this coming week and had planned on also grabbing the OPPO HA-1 amp/dac. Is the OPPO HA-1 a suitable amp for these cans?  Is it capable of driving the LCD-3s to their full potential?  Is anyone using this combination that can speak to the SQ...

    Is anyone using the Hifiman balanced 4-pin XLR cable who can attest to its build/sound quality? http://head-direct.com/Products/?act=detail&id=211   I'm trying to decide whether to spend $200 on this cable or almost double the cost for a Moon Audio Silver Dragon cable.  (The turnaround time...

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Anyone know what the current turnaround time is for a Vanquish cable? I'd like to place an order soon but I don't really want to wait 3-4 weeks. Thanks.

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Thank you for the detailed response. So I'm assuming then that you wouldn't plug the mini directly into your amps XLR input without an adapter for the large XLR? Thus if I only ever plan on connecting to an XLR input, just order my cable with the large (standard) XLR connector? I got the...

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Hello, I'm considering ordering the Vanquish for a pair of HE-560s that I'll be connecting into an Oppo HA-1. (Balanced XLR input) Can someone please explain the difference between the standard 4-pin XLR and 4-pin mini-xlr options on the Norse Audio site?   Are they the same connectors with...

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    FYI.....  I just discovered that Spotify Premium (which I have) has a feature that allows me to connect and control Spotify on my iMac from my iPhone/iPad.  (Basically a remote control so to speak)  This would allow me to leave the HA-1 input source set to the iMac/USB connection, allowing me...

      Wow, that's very promising.  I'd prefer to just go wireless if possible.  Much cleaner.  Thanks for that feedback!

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Thanks.  If the 5' limit includes the existing 3' Apple 30-pin/USB cable, then it probably wouldn't be enough.  If I could add an additional 5' high-quality USB cable/extender, that would do the trick.

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Yep, the standard iPad 30-pin/USB cable is about 3-feet already so maybe an additional 3-foot extender would do the trick with minimal degradation and/or problems. I always have the option of just kickn' off Spotify from the iMac and then kickn' back on the couch and listening.  It's just that...

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    Yes, I had considered Bluetooth but I had concerns about a degredation in SQ.  The USB cable/extender is cheap enough so it's probably worth performing an A/B comparison to see if I can discern any differences.  Have you tested bluetooth and if so, how was the SQ compared to a direct connect...
