The Astell & Kern AK240
How can I check what firmware version is running on my AK240? I just updated probably to 1.25 and now have issues using my AK240 as a USB DAC to a windows PC. Anyone else have problems in DAC mode after update? Prior to update I have had several months of smooth connection...- Kauai

Ultimate Ears + Astell & Kern Ultimate Bundle Deal
Quick post to say thanks to Mike and UE for this deal. As a long time UERM owner I glossed over this bundle when it was announced, figuring I already had the UERMs, but recently decided to get the AK240+UE18 bundle. I'll post more soon, but I was curious to 1. have a better mobile source...- Kauai

Looking to buy a new pair of IEMs
Ultimate Ears Reference Monitors. Great IEMs. I bought a pair after going to a meet and auditioning many brands. Some might find the bass light, as these buds don't boost the bass frequencies. They are exactly what you are looking for if want a sound engineers sound of the music- Kauai

2013 CanJam @ RMAF (Oct. 11-13, 2013): One of the world's finest headphone audio shows!
You can count me in! Airplane tickets, rental car, and hotel all in hand. I went for the first time last year on a lark, and loved it!

Battle Of The Flagships (58 Headphones Compared)
I feel I must add to the well deserved accolades for this series of posts. It is clear that this goes well beyond "public service" contributions to a "reference" post that will help many new and aspiring headfiers (I count myself among them) find their way through a forest of one off reviews or...- Kauai

Cavalli Audio Liquid Fire
Rats! I just picked up a used Liquid Fire. Now I'll be tempted to upgrade even sooner than I expected. I suppose it is too much to hope that all the LF2 changes will be cosmetic. In any event, I say keep the amps coming, I'll need to get something for the office after I get addicted to the...- Kauai

JH Audio JH-3a VS. UM Platform Pure (PP6)
My experience at canjam was the both PP6 and JH-3a had cranked up volume levels. At one point listening to the PP6 I complained about some static I was hearing. The problem was that I had volume so low (for comfort) that IEMs were intermittently cutting out. Turning up the volume fixed it...- Kauai

JH Audio JH-3a VS. UM Platform Pure (PP6)
Though I am a noob, I spent some time at canjam@RMAF specificially to get some CIEM so I thought I would share the following perspective. Obviously take it with a grain of salt and YMMV. I had a preference for the UM PP6, but I didn't feel that I had a chance to fully audition the PP6. For...- Kauai

Rocky Mountain Audiofest - Denver CO - Oct 12-14th 2012
As a first time RMAF/ canjam attendee, I thought I would share some quick thoughts: Thanks to everyone for encouragement to go. The event was really fun on so many levels: cool people with lots of experience, cool gear (that I expected to see), even cooler gear (that I didn't know...- Kauai

Unique Melody Platform Pure 6 (PP6) - review (1st post), discussion, appreciation, & tour thread
Quote: Great to 'hear'. I am headed to CanJam for the first time and looking for CIEM. I was planning to listen to Unique Melody among others. I am really curious to see if the PP6 set up is discernably better than the Miracle + DAC/amp which would obviously cost much less. Do you have...- Kauai

2012 CanJam @ RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) -- Come and hang out with thousands of fellow audio enthusiasts!
Quote: Sorry for the slow reply I was traveling. Here is a link to the deal on Hertz website. It was a little tricky to reserve. I added the offer code and searched on the dates I wanted, but the list of cars didn't show a 14.95 rate until I clicked on one of the cars that didn't show a...- Kauai

2012 CanJam @ RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) -- Come and hang out with thousands of fellow audio enthusiasts!
Just joined Head-Fi and based on the many helpful observations in this thread (and many others on the forum) decided to go to CanJam @ RMAF before investing in some CIEM. It seems like the "cheapest" way to try lots of options back to back. I am hoping this trip helps me skip over buying...- Kauai
