I got mine to turn off. I was pressing the correct button, but maybe not doing it right? Whatever, I'm happy now.

My issue right now is that when I'm sitting at my desk at work I want to listen through the cable so I don't use too much battery. I can't figure out how to open them without turning them on. I'm following the instructions as stated here in the documentation, but they still turn on.

I haven't had this issue that you and others are having. I find the smart pause to be working perfectly, much better than I had thought it would This is a little annoying. The manual says that they go into suspend when they're around your neck. So they're on, but not using too much battery.

I just got my pair and they're absolutely wonderful. But yeah, the case is garbage. There's tons of empty space in it even when the headphones are in it and it's not particularly protective. Fortunately my backpack has a protective pocket that fits them really well.

I'm having a little difficulty with my Crack. I've built it just fine, and it sounds awesome with my HD 650's. I am however having issues with the volume, and channel imbalance. Not a big problem, it's addressed in the Crack FAQ (I love the rhyme btw); it's numbers 3 and 4. I just don't...

Thanks for looking! I think the next best would be if it was 220 only. And just to be clear, I'm not looking for a compact stereo, just the single component.

I'm looking for a CD player with very specific features. Optical Out (not necessary if it's got a good on-board DAC) Compact design in width (12" wide or narrower. I think standard width is 17") Ability to switch 120V to 220 V Under $300 (I can be a little loose with this) Something like this...

How do you like it? Do you use the optical?

Thanks!

I've been looking for a CD player with digital output, preferably SPDIF/optical. I would like to be able to play CDs, but go through the good DAC that I already own. Does something like this exist, and is it affordable?

I just finished building my Crack and it sounds awesome with my HD 650's! I'll be attaching the Speedball soon, but I think I'll wait on that. One issue that I've noticed is that the volume is very unbalanced at low levels. Does anybody else have that problem, or is that just my unit? I'm...

I've had mine for almost 3 years. There's no more burn in. 

The grain is the only reason why I'm thinking about getting rid of them.   I'll take them off in favor of the HD650's definition, then take the 650's off in favor of the X2's soundstage/bass.    Perhaps I'm doomed to own both.

I found the review! Headfonia was reviewing the Modi/ Magni from the point of view of the T1 (seems kinda weird to me since the T1 isn't as main stream).    http://www.headfonia.com/schitty-magni-and-modi/2/     "The Aune T1 DAC/amp sounds almost identically the same but due to tube...

Well I just put my foot in my mouth.   I was excited because my computer recognized the T1's DAC while it was off. The same cannot be said of other DAC/Amps I've got. 

I've read a review (unfortunately I forgot where) that said the T1 sounded better than the modi/magni stack.    I listen to my HD6XX, Fidelio X2, and AKG K7XX's with the T1 se. I tried the Gold Lion tube (also as mentioned on the first post), but it was too dark for me. The only headphones...

C'mon guys. Don't you know the difference between hi-res and hi-def?!   

I didn't realize that CA did optical. I'm gonna have to play with that now!

  First of all, your Chromecast is a DAC. No DAC you would buy would do anything to change the sound on it.   Unlike the regular Chromecast, The Chromecast Audio (CA) plays directly from Google Play Music (or whatever app your using). Your phone only tells the CA what to do, nothing streams...

My X2's sound really grainy, especially compared to my HD650's. I actually prefer the K7XX to the X2's now. I was thinking about selling them because of this. Does anybody else have the same issue? I love the frequency response, i'm just missing the clarity.

It's nice to see people still raving about these cans. These were my first high end cans- upgraded from ATH-M50x's (thankfully no longer in my possession). Lately I've been using the HD-6XX (650) the most, but I always cycle through my cans, sometimes listening to the same thing multiple times...

  I HATE the sound of the X2 with my tube amp. I use the Aune T1 SE as my main amp and I have done some tube rolling with it to best suit my needs. I use it basically with every other pair of headphones I have, but I use the Monoprice DAC/amp for the X2's, and they sound great.   With the...

WOOX Innovations, formerly owned by Philips, has been bought out by Gibson. So there is no contradiction if both brand names are present.    EDIT: Source material http://www.philips.com/a-w/about/news/archive/standard/news/press/2014/20140428-Philips-to-sell-WOOX-Innovations-to-Gibson-Brands.html

I assume you mean contact them directly. Their website only appears to have guitar pedals.
