ALBAMAN INVERNESS, HIGHLANDS OWNED T20 SOURCE GEAR = CAYIN N6, APPLE / AMARRA

Hi. I gave up on the L5 Pro as it just didn't like interfacing with Mac, despite it offering the best sound I have heard on a DAP so far. If they fixed the problems, I'd go back just for the sound quality.

Hi. Keen to join review team for UK.    albaman Inverness None Mac Mini / Amarra / Yulong Sabre A28 + AK120 Titan + Cayin N5 Review: www.head-fi.org/users/387719/reviews

I'm in please!   albaman highlands scotland   Review: FiiO X3ii > http://www.head-fi.org/users/387719/reviews   AK120 Titan / Yulong A28 / ZMF Blackwood / FAD Adagio v / mac+amarra

But the ZMFs are much heavier - always a compromise somewhere!

Hi Sysfail I auditioned the 800s extensively before choosing the 700s. The 800s are a triumph of detail and analysis of musical content but I felt those benefits were delivered at a price which was a sound signature that would not tolerate some musical matches and became tiresome quite often. I...

I think we were typing our contributions simultaneously! Very like-minded.

Hi. I recently sold my HD700s but listened to them for many prolonged sessions. Whilst I broadly agree with the feedback you have had already, I think two considerations  ought to be added.   Call it 'brain burn in' or whatever you like but I very quickly became used to the HD700s sound...

Looking forward to your review, ultrainferno.

Thanks John, checking them out now. 

Dear L5 Pros   Burn in completed - 200+ hours. Some brief impressions.   Operation; no faults bar an annoying predilection for self-ejecting when attached to mac for file transfers. (Four times so far and annoying because it only likes my micro cards to be loaded up whilst inserted in L5...

G'day Brooko!   My take on the HD700 is my opinion, based on my experience with my ears. As stated, after one hour or so of burn-in listening. To insist that both John Young and I are either listening to really quiet tracks or listening at unsafe levels is, objectively, an unsafe opinion.  ...

Status update from a technically challenged music lover:   My L5 Pro arrived at the beginning of last week. After resolving a couple of "how to" issues - big thanks John Young, Ultrainferno - I had a listen for an hour before committing to the recommended burn in.  We are now 130 hours into a...

Thx John.

Hot stuff, Ultrainferno!     Apologies if my somewhat ironic sense of humour came across as petulant. I was just trying to use self-effacing wit as a means of excusing my inability to get my L5 Pro going.   FYI, I have read EVERY page of this thread and I'm not taken to wasting headfier...

Ultrainferno Did some part of your imagination convince you that your reply might be helpful?    In the absence of friendly assistance I am experimenting. I'm sure I will stumble on a solution.   Thank you for your reply.

Joy unconfined. My DHL Package arrived this morning - from Hong Kong to The Highlands - a day early. Good job Penon Audio!   My first experience of my L5 Pro was a real white knuckle ride and, after only 20 minutes or so, I got the package open.      Forget rock / paper / scissors, I have...

Good news twister6! Will be very happy to share. 

Make that two more, John. Bought from Penon Audio and DHL tracking confirmed today. First L5 Pro in the Scottish Highlands?   Really looking forward to hearing this DAP. Will temporarily pair with my Final Audio Design Heaven 1V in-ears. Hoping my L5 Pro might drive my new ZMF Blackstones*...

:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Thx! Looking forward to Nighthawks delivery!

I didn't hear back Joe so presumably I missed out?

Thx again SearchofSub A mountain of weekend research had me considering upping my budget for the EL-8s but I have decided to plump for the Nighthawks. Will spend the next week shopping around for the best deal I can find and then will report back once I have put them to work. ;<)
