    Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon Owners Impressions

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Though I think I'll need more quiet and time to really compare..

    Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon Owners Impressions

    Good point, and maybe a good argument to just be happy with the AK. Sheldaze had an LC on a black GMB and while it might have sounded good, the size difference was enormous.

    Bass, the XC has very prominent bass. The Ether C sounds good, but the bass is much more subtle. The weight difference is substantial too. Miss and highs I can't say much on, the meet conditions were too loud, even with closed phones.

    Thanks, interesting read.. The mojo is tempting, not that the LC is hard to move around, but there are times when that kind of portability would be nice.

    Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon Owners Impressions

    The two I'm curious about are the Mojo and the Bifrost Multibit. There were a couple of bimby's at the DC meet last weekend, but with the background noise unless the difference was sledgehammer in the face obvious, I doubt I would have noticed. Like comparing my ether C off the LC vs the Lcd-XC...

    Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon Owners Impressions

    I've been very satisfied with my AK120ii > LC > Ether C combo... I don't have anything to compare it to right now, but I have doubts that another Dac would be that much better.

    Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon Owners Impressions

    So I finally had an opportunity to try the HE-6 off the LC at a meet this past weekend in DC.  I had been curious if the amp could drive the phones well since Dr. Cavalli announced quite a few months ago that the amp was actually more like 2.8 watts balanced instead of the originally announced...

    DC-Area Head-Fi Meet - Saturday, February 27, 2016, 12:00 Noon-4:00 PM, George Mason Regional Library

    4 pin XLR.  I have a 4 pin xlr to 2.5mm TRRS adapter, but not a XLR to 1/4".  Though I may have the parts to make one in my basement.  I'll have to check that tonight.

    DC-Area Head-Fi Meet - Saturday, February 27, 2016, 12:00 Noon-4:00 PM, George Mason Regional Library

      And I'm hoping to slip a Bifrost MB into my chain and see if I can hear a difference.  Thankfully with closed headphones, I might be able to tell in that room...

    If I can make it I'll bring my AK120ii -> Cavalli Liquid Carbon--> Ether C setup.

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

        That's a scary line.  So they investigated alternatives, would people have had a choice?  Or would they just have received an alternative if it "met specs"?  I can just imagine the level of pissed people would have been if they were shipped something else that they didn't order.

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

      Sure.  But since you have to select the output to one or the other you can only listen to one of them at a time.    I realize this is a smart-ass answer, but when feeding a balanced signal to something like the Liquid Carbon amp, you have to feed the left and right channels of the 2.5mm...

    +1 on this, though my ups and downs were just the wait since April.  My Ak120ii>LC>Ether C combo is sublime...  And neither the amp or the headphones are by definition broken in yet...   Now I just need to find more music to listen to and resist the temptation of the Bifrost Multibit...  The...

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    With all this talk of using the AK1*0ii as a transport, has anyone compared the Ak120ii as a dac into an amp with the AK120ii feeding a Bifrost Multi-bit into an amp?   I feel that my desktop (beside actually) system of using the Ak120ii>Liquid Carbon> Ether C is pretty much end game for me...

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    I made a 4 pin XLR to 2.5mm trrs adapter for my Ether C's and ran them out of my Ak120ii just to see what it would be like.  I had to run the volume up about to about 55/75 instead of my normal 35/75, but it sounded pretty good.  Unlike the time I tried the same thing with a set of T1's.   It...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    You can't wear those earplugs legally. At least not in this state. Not that I didnt every time, and personally earplugs killing the high pitched wind roar let me hear the tire noise of cars around me. Though I'm sure that would not have been an effective argument had I been caught. My Lexus IS...

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

    The case will carry the phones, the 6' XLR DUM cable (detached), an 8" XLR to 2.5mm trrs adapter that I built, and my AK120ii.  So I guess that's handy, though I haven't listened to them enough with the AK120ii to see if it's worth it.  The little bit sounded pretty good, though the volume...
