    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I have the same issue. I bought a H2 and 2go and was unable to update it. It crashed on device settings and thus I couldn't get to the firmware section. I solved this by using Android as iOS was the culprit for me.

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I was saying that I didn't try the HD800S with the Dave/TT2; but I did own them and did not 'love' them in my 2 channel system at the time. It was an incredible sounding dac, but it didn't work well with my Focal Sopra. It paired better with my old Sonus Faber. The M2 is really good, but I...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I had the Mojo 1, Hugo 2, TT2 and a Dave. I just got back into Headphones; as I bought 800S's for gaming and figured I would get the Mojo 2 and the Poly. It was fine but the bug hit me and I ended up buying the Hugo 2 and the 2go. My headphone listening was done on the Mojo 1 and Hugo2 with...

    Auris HA2 SF

    The mid position with the high gain sounded best with HD800s. Good call! I was using the Mojo 2/Poly with the Auris so I would have a more streamline set up. I ended up pulling out my Lumin streamer and my Audio Note 3.1x/ii Dac; that combo was absolutely magical. I was never that happy with...

    Auris HA2 SF

    How about the headphone ohm selector? I didn't try my RCA grey plate long plates or my Brimar CV4003. I just put my Sylvania Gold Brand 6201in and am letting it warm up. My amp came with an electro-harmonic tube...

    Auris HA2 SF

    I just opened the Auris HA - 2SF, set it up and I am letting it warm up. My amp has the switch on the back for high and low gain. I am using HD800's which are 300ohm's; which option should I use? Low, Mid or High? High or low gain? Why? I will obviously listen to all the possible pairings...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    I don't agree. The regions are static across the globe and the FW changes are dynamic. When the FW changes and the sound changes, the region stays the same thus the intent is not homogeneous. They are not taking the regions into account when making the changes; they have to have a static...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    Thanks everyone for your input regarding my post about FW changing the sound of the Z1. When one talks about a vision; it is generally how you plan/envision the art/product to sound in it's planning stages. I'm sure they had an idea of what they wanted to accomplish with the 1a and the 1z...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    I have a Z1 and I know I am in a 'pro' Sony Room, but can someone answer this question logically. Sony decided to make it's signature DAP with it's house sound and market it as a product that achieved their ideal sought after sound in accordance to the engineers vision. Why did the sound...

    What it means is that we should boycott Mr. W until he releases a custom Audio Note version of his mod. Since I own Audio Note gear I should get it first!

    Sony Walkman custom firmware (non-Android)

    You said: "4 sound signatures in 1 package: "Neutral", "Warm", "Bright", and the "WM1Z" stock sound." You messed up! The WM1Z sound is way better than the stock; better than stock FW's 1.20, 3.1 and 3.2 with Regional MX3 on the 1Z. It is also sounds better to 'me' than all your other FW on...

    The files are sourced from various CD's. The albums with the biggest swings are on the Decca Sound: The Analogue Years 53 CD Boxset.

    I briefly looked through my Roon Library and the highest dynamic swing I could find was 26db and the average was around 11db.

    The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

    The mid range is where it shines. It's not all boom and twinkle; it has that mid groove bounce with a silky top end. It is not offensive in any way and has features for days. I have the iFi Cable Series 4.4mm to XLR Balanced Cable and hooked it up to my Focal Sopra two channel system. I...
