@FiiO Any plans for USB DAC support on Linux? As of BTR3 firmware v 1.0, both my Arch Linux desktop and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS laptop are able to show the BTR 3 audio device but no sound comes out when I select it. The same issue occurs with my friend's BTR 3 when I connect it to my Linux machines...

Thank you for both of your inputs! I've neglected the UE6 so far, it's a bit of a surprise that it's a hybrid design. I think I can safely cross UE LIVE off the list, read up more on the UE6 and weigh the options. Thank yo very much!

In this case, there don't seem to be a lot of positive opinion towards the V3 then... From your written impressions and your ranking list, I assume you'd actually recommend UERR over the other two? Or would your thoughts change given the list of characteristics given above?

Thank you for your replies. The UE 18+ series was actually my target CIEM as I read through 18+ 2nd gen reviews. Then came the mixed 3rd generation reviews, less polarized as the UE LIVE but still a spectrum of reactions from a raving take my money stance to it being oddly tuned and master of...

Hi all, I'm about to order a CIEM from UE and I've basically narrowed my choices down to UERR and UE LIVE. UERR seems to be a safe choice with overall positive reception, while UE LIVE seems to be quite polarizing. I've failed to draw decisive conclusions from crinacle's measurements...

I ended up getting it, the pairing is wonderful :)

I've been amping the LCD-X through Deckard for a month and I've been loving the combo! My only two other amps are HDVD800 and Woo Audio WA2, both have very high output impedance and end up making the LCD-X sound "hollow" (I think the mids are a little recessed, but no measurements have been...

I got the Yggdrasil last month and have been pleased with its clarity and natural voicing. I'm heavily contemplating the choice of selling my HDVD800 and Deckard, replacing them with the Ragnarok. I have two amps for driving my HD800: Woo Audio WA2 and HDVD800. HDVD800 presents the...

Have an LCD-X with volume mismatch so I sent them in for repair. They upgraded the drivers to the current version and, at my request, installed the carbon fiber headband (at my expense of course). To me, the new sound signature is a little more neutral than before, which is good and bad...

I saw articles regarding LCD-X dating back as far as late 2013, so I think the earliest adopters already have theirs for more than 3 years! I don't know when this pair was purchased, I guess that's verifiable with Audeze, so I'll hopefully know by Monday. Thanks for verifying that there was at...

Have anyone had volume mismatch issues? I just purchased a pair of LCD-X second hand today - excellent sounding headphones they are, and the seller was extremely friendly! However, after listening to the headphones for a longer time at home, I think the left channel has a slightly lower volume...

Haha I heeded @billerb1's advice and the seller accepted the offer! PM'd him to thank him :). Thanks for reassuring me that this is (probably) a good idea! Will report back on the tubes' quality once they arrive.

The seller says in the description the tubes aren't tested though. If I just order two, is there a high chance that they aren't matched tubes? At such case, each channel would sound different right? (New to the game, sorry if these questions are elementary!)

Thank you @TeamHiFiMAN for the opportunity! Can't wait! @dweaver will you be setting up a group chat for the Canadian team?

Very interested to participate in the program, located in Vancouver, Canada. Currently have the HD800 and Stax SR 507, haven't had experience with HIFIMAN products but this can mean a fresh "outsider's" view on the Edition X!

This was back in summer. A non audiophile friend (friend A) and a half audiophile friend (friend B) came over to my place. Friend B pointed out the price of HD800 + HDVD800, so friend A was like What wooot? So friend B put the HD800s on, and I played him Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Mv. 4 (Ode to...

Thank you very much guys! I think I'll try the Panasonic HJE900!

Thanks for your suggestions, the Logitech looks like very good deals! Unfortunately she doesn't seem to like the looks of them too much... I spammed her with earphone photos, pretending that I'm getting a new one for myself. She seems to like these white CX 3.00 White a lot: Since she cares...

Looking to get a new pair of in-ears for a female friend. Frankly looks are probably more important to her than sound quality, but I would like to get her something that sounds better than her current in-ears. I want to introduce her to... you know, my world, our head-fi world.   She currently...

What's the address? I'm breaking in.

The backplate gives the hard and solid bottoming out feedback. Without it, bottoming out would feel softer. Not sure what else does it do... I've heard that only Cherry's own keyboards could come without backplate, while other manufacturers must add one. Either they changed their rules or my...

I thought Cherry forces manufacturers which use their switches to include metal backplate. Did that change? Btw I highly recommend HHKB if you're okay with compact keyboards. Topre switches are a lot of fun to type on :D

Which keyboard is this? Looks quite nice!

I guess I'll have to take my time with the headphone... Would you consider going into research? Sounds like there would be more opportunities in that field!   Welp, guess it's another anime off my list for the season. What about Saenai Heroine? I enjoyed the light novel a lot, hoping to...

Haven't had time for anime these few days. The anime went bad? I've read the light novel and it was kind of entertaining. Would suck if the anime version fails expectations
