LOL! I'm 58 . . . figured I'd be over this silly psyche stuff by now, have entered a state of no emotion and calm, measured, hyper-mature mentality. But . . . NOPE !

Hey, DouglasM, I have an update, I have ordered the Claire Hybrid cable for the Clears, I thought that the price was quite good for the cable that they were using - a 50-50 UPOCC silver and copper, seems quite the big deal, as a single metal crystal wire, should move them shifty electrons reel...

Found the Forza, seem to be Polish. There is a Claire intermediate that looks very nice and moderate sort of price. Moon Audio is pretty high cost.

OK, will take a look at it, appreciate the reply! Have you heard anything particularly negative about the Moon Audio Black or Silver Dragon cables?

Has anyone got a good suggestion for an alternate cable builder for the Focal Clear Mg headphones? Just the unbalanced ones, seems to be a 1/8" separate Left and Right fusing to the single mini-jack with a screw-on 1/4" cap too. I'd be fine with a fixed 1/4" end. (so - not the XLR set at this time).

Purchased new myself. First version of Mjolnir. Price includes shipping estimate including US, with insurance - so nothing extra. Used ~ 50 hours with Gungnir DAC (also for sale here, and together = some reduction). Will ship North America at least. No damage or wear. Functions as per...

Have emailed Schitt, awaiting reply based on the s/n. I'm sure that that's the basis of their record of spec.

I feel such a twit versus the knowledge that others have, even though I love my Schitt. I can confirm that the vents on top are fully closed with metal plates.

Definitely fair. I need to confirm with Schitt, happy to do that, I'm sure the s/n will clarify.

Yes, I'm prepared to ship to the US, I'm in Western Canada.

I CAN tell you that it was approx. $750 Canadian when purchased new.

I can freely admit to some uncertainty over the spec. I am happy to discuss the s/n with Schitt and answer your questions accurately. It's been a few years since purchase and I don't remember the details - not pretending to know as much as some folks here.

It is the original Delta Sigma, I haven't upgraded it yet. The price includes shipping. It would be less if picked up by a local.

Purchased new myself. Used ~ 50 hours with Mjolnir AMP (also for sale here, and together = some reduction). Will ship North America at least. No damage or wear. Functions as per factory. Just moving in a different functional direction myself.

Purchased new myself, used ~ 50 hours, with Schitt Gungnir DAC (also for sale, separately or together at some reduction). Functions as per factory. No damage or wear. I'm just moving in a different functional direction for headphones. Will ship North America at least.

Purchased new myself. Carefully used for ~ 50 hours. s/n 31678 - No damage or wear. Function as per factory & not modded. Just heading in a different functional direction. Original Senn cable and second equally new ALO Green cable with Balanced, single 4 pin plug. Will ship North America.

Thank you ClieOS, will look at those. Can you comment on the slightly larger Earmen TR-Amp? It seems well accepted, I've now discovered.

Hello folks, I've read a number of reviews both here and widely online, about amp/DACs for mobile use that make finding a unit other than the apparently gorgeous Mojo2, rather less hopeful. Can anyone just pop out some names of combined DAC-amps for mobile use that they really like, that are...

Sorry Don, files not there. Have a shot at laying it out here?

  OK, it's coming clearer now. So although the information density is higher, and some very tiny "wanted" sounds (timbre, spatial stuff, subtle sound info) would be present by increasing sampling freq/bit depth, (i) they would be progressively smaller and smaller, quite possibly inaudible, and...

This has been a very useful discussion, much appreciated! If you purchase files then, RRod, I assume you are sticking with 44.1/16 for the main?   thanks again, now I get twice as much music for the same cost!

Is there any benefit to sound quality from buying 44.1/16 files rather than buying the CD and ripping it?
