What is the rate of DSD (2.8, 5.6)??? I can't get an answer on this question since this product was announced.

My MD user name: IvanQ   I would like to see more photo gear and Oppo PM1   Cheers!

I asked Centrance about DSD rate & it seems to be 64xDSD only, inasmuch as I've got such a shaggy answer. I'm really not ready to take a risk of purchase without knowing it. 

Does anybody know what DSD rate is supported by DAC port HD?

Audionewbi, if U have CKR10, don't waste money on CKR9LTD. They have similar sound, no much difference to complement each other. CKR9LTD sounds more liberal, no bass heaviness accent like in CKR10. Just reduce EQ on subbass region and add a couple db between 5-10k region up to taste. Sounds...

No it is not true, it will work at full 24/96 regardless the device which U will use, only if connection via toslink or digital coax interface.  Indeed, U will have to buy an optical cable in apple store for your ipod...

I know nothing about Sony amps. UHA-6sii is better for pairing with Apple products, full 24/96 through toslink to 3.5, Ipod Classic should work fine.

As far as I know C5 uses OPA2227 it can be harsh on highs for such dynamic and precise iems like IM02. The harshness is caused due to lack of details on highs in particular op amp. It sounds fine with any headphones except for those with accentuated details on highs, basically IM02 will reveal...

Nerstroit, seems like U want more clarity from your SD3, did U check SD2 before the purchase of SD3? 

Why do U think that equivalent to CK100pro is very bright, as far as I know they close to K701, which is not as piercing bright like DT880.    The current price for CK100pro is significantly higher than the price of IM03, if I had had to compare them directly I would have decided nothing to...

I had CK90pro but they were falling out constantly, however I liked their sound. That is why I'm considering CK100pro, as an original AT sound. Are there any other options which memic CK100pro sound? What can be an upgrade within $700? I tried W50 and wasn't impressed with them, now I don't know...

Does anybody know how CK100pro can be positioned against new IM0X series? For instance is IM03 an upgrade of CK100pro or the same thing in the different shell? 

I've been waiting for something lighter from Audeze, EL8 looks much smaller than LCD2, but almost the same weight. Apparently only Oppo managed to keep weight under 400g. Audeze: sounds - great, comfort - still sucks!  

Hi people, I'm tossing up between ATH-CKB70 and CKR7 and IM70, which have a better sound quality in general? I'm going to buy it in a couple of days, so any opinion would've been appreciated.

thanks for a feedback, now it's clear to me. I had decided not to migrate from full size cans to StageDivers 2/3, their ratio of SQ/$ wasn't convincing enough for me.

    What are the alternatives? in your opinion. 

Ha ha! the same stupid trap with preshipment number! So amazing to see it, that he is doing it so easy and simple, and nothing can be done to stop it because it is an ingenious way to con people while US local legal bodies don't give a crap about it. This coward did exactly the same with my...

Well, perhaps my question sounds awkwardly. I've recently lost almost $300 through purchase of cable for my AKG from Revelation Audio Lab, paid like into the black hole in the space & received nothing back, just sit with d@ck in hand and fake tracking number. I began to think that switching to...

Please, lets refrain from humiliation. I'm trying to find out by any way about StageDivers, because I need to decide to stay with my AKGs or switch to these IEMs. If U are a rich golden boy who can buy & try everything then give your opinion about a particular product or keep your thoughts with...

So, do I understand it right? SD2/SD3 cannot surpass full size cans like AKG K7@#  in details & width of sound stage. However, in IEMs class StageDivers are above average. 

Hi people, can anybody answer to my assumption: Sound stage width in SD3<SD2 = AKG K7@@, equal, wider or narrower?     It would've been very appreciated.
