Thanks again @slex for confirming, ordered a pair of V5i-D in anticipation of the XD-05 BAL

Thanks @slex ! Expecting my XD-05 BAL very soon and judging by your picture the Burson V5i-D's dimensions are the max assuming you can still close the lid.

Anyone who received a balanced unit tried and cramped in Sparkos Labs opamps yet?

Pricing strategy fits the upcoming xDuoo XD-05 BAL version, expected to be released end of December. So that would be BASIC -> PLUS -> BAL With so many competitive products with 4.4mm in recent months the BAL has to be a) positioned at a reasonable pricepoint compared to other brands and b) at...

@gr8soundz: Thank you very much for pointing me at that post. That's the kind of adapter I was hoping for. Now hopefully it will be released very soon and kind of affordable. Will keep a close watch on this one

Awaiting the release of the xDuoo XD-05 PRO version (said to sport AES/Ebu and 4.4mm out) to pair with my xDuoo X10T mkII I'm wondering if there is any amp/DAC adapter available to serve the need for 4.4mm TRRRS to USB-C listening. If it wasn't for the 2.5mm connection the new iBasso DC-01...

@jhog Still contemplating selling my VorzAmp Duo. As it has served me so very well and like others on this thread I have yet to find an other that can perform like this one, hence the reason I never considered selling it. In fact I had the fairly expensive battery pack replaced by fresh one...

Looking for V1 or V2 ?

re Tuner/receiver: Not necessarily (I prefer separate components and active speakers, to each his own) but you'll need to dig a bit deeper on that one if you're really interested. re M&J models: the 800 series is their TOTL and by far the most affordable compared to competitive products with...

@RockStar2005 a receiver has a broadcast radio tuner included in the same chassis as the preamplifier and amplifier circuits, a combination which, without a tuner, would make up an integrated amplifier. If the preamp is also left out, what's left is just called the amplifier.

I was actually referring to the new 800 series for 2019. Those should become available and distributed to retailers in the US. P.S. Receiver definitely is not the same as amplifier

It sure is. Will do... The new component series might be a very pleasant surprise for you, especially when looking under the hood. Well, back to headphones again.....

It's not that difficult as @barondla and @Richter Di said. Mitchell & Johnson took their first steps in headphones with a custom tuned headphone series on crowdfunding platforms based on a patented technology. By the end of the campaigns they did not sell as many headphones as they'd hoped for...

It doesn't mean anything. Mitchell & Johnson continue business as usual, their focus being on the 800 series now.

where to submit to the custom version waiting list? :ksc75smile:

ES100 High Res BT receiver DAC/Amp

@Lil' Fish: Having had the opportunity to audition both Euphoria and Nirvana demo CIEMs for several days I have found them easy to drive. Due to the relatively low impedance one might think that the InEarz line up would not benefit much from a balanced connection. On the other hand, I have...

Thank you for this announcement Kaysen. Good call on the Linum cables! Been using the Linum 2-pin, mmcx and interconnect cables (prototype) for years now. We're all aware of Estron's minimum manufacturing numbers, on the waiting list for specific terminated Linum SuperBax since last year. I can...

With the incoming new xDuoo X10T MKII digital transport I'm looking for a balanced DAC/Amp with AES/Ebu input to pair with the transport unit. AES not being a common feature on portable devices, any help and recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you!

MJ2 no doubt

of course that's not what I meant to say. Referring to the looks.

Just like we wouldn't want to see the Superlux HD series compared to the 240 DF in the AKG appreciation thread.....

That sucks mate

This still is the M&J appreciation and impressions thread..... To avoid further confusion, and to do justice to the M&J headphones, it would be better for others to start a CD thread if there's a need for it.

Using ODM is common for many companies in this market, even most well-known brands get their product this way. It disputable (thinking AKG in Austria) but apparently the days of real craftmanship is over, a few still left. It is what it is. Basically everyone can get a basic product ODM from...
