Many thank you for your impressions!!! Very interesting! But I still wonder, how it would work the opposite way, i.e. DAC > Mentor > WA22?! Mentor should be as preamplifier. Pure black background and all its abilities... It should work great as preamplifier... Some custom cables should work (HP...

From Flux Labs email regarding M-Field: "...there will be a small discount at the beginning of sales."

Also, I would realty appreciate your impressions with HD800S :)0000000000000000000000

Maybe someone did a comparison: Trafomatic Head 2 vs Auris HA-2 SF? These two are on my list.

If someone would like to dig deeper - sharing teardown with measurements from ASR: FLUX Mentor - teardown, inside pictures and a few measurements

M-field vs Mentor, asked FLUX via email specifically for HD800 "The Mentor sounds excellent with the HD800, but in our opinion, these headphones reveal better where the low frequencies are fuller and the timbre is smoother. It is also important that the mid frequencies are a little more...

This is exactly what is holding me back from ordering. Still reconsidering all the alternatives. There is no reviews with HD800... Just a short notice from our friend Ichos:

Has anyone tried Mentor with Sennheiser HD800(s)? How does it synergize? Can someone comment on this please?

Schiit Yggdrasil A1 (USB Gen 3) 230V Great multi-bit DAC, served for long time in my stereo system. However, I no longer use it and it is literally collects dust. Works flawlessly, in perfect condition. Just a few minor scratches, hardly visible. There is an original box. Shipping within EU...

Not for me. My version accepts only 16gB! Tried a bunch of SD cards - re-formatted and formatted.... till I get it work and this conclusion. For now, I am calm. Installed 2.17 and downgraded to 2.12. Will get my funds and sometime acquire Auro3D :) P.S. already using Auro3D in my home cinema...

Smyth Realiser A16 > upgraded to 24ch (France dealer "Av-In"): -SD card supported max to 16 GB in FAT32. -Firmware must be extracted inside the “REALISER” folder. Firmware 2.12: -Auro3D works from Listening Rooms > Loading: only Auro3D. Perfect to try out Auro3D up-mixer with PCM, DD and other...

Yes, of course, unzipped the correct firmware 2.17 to SD Card. After long verification, I am getting something like "Successfully installed" in green color. Afterwards A16 restarts and completes the FPGA(?) updates. At the end I am still getting my previous firmware 2.12. Strange, 2.17 suppose...

Looks like I am stuck on firmware rev. 2.12 Oct 02 2022 on my A16s (24ch). No matter which firmware I try to install (2.15 or 2.17), I get the same 2.12. I do "Full restore" before and after the firmware upgrade. Even tried downgrading to 2.11, but the final result is the same. Maybe someone...

Dual Mentors should have the advantage of "impressive sound stage" (separate power > channel separation)?! I still use my trusty HD800SDR, originally was going to order the Volot, but now I'll wait for a few reviews :) By the way, is it a good match Voilot + HD800SDR? P.S. I hope Ichos will...

Does anyone upgraded power supply? I'm thinking about Linear Power Supply? Still wonder how much of improvement I will get... Your thoughts and recommendations, please?

Interesting findings! Which one is it? I could not find Ny Linear Power Supply on google...

From the Impressions: "-The X5 is only recognized as a pure stereo device in Windows. This means that a 7.1 HRTF simulation is not possible. The device itself offers a surround simulation, but this is fake, since you cannot make a reasonable surround sound out of 2 channels." Maybe the driver...

Interesting... What does the additional cable do? Is it just separate ground? Where should it be connected? To RCA of Amp or Dac? It would be great to see additional photos of female Schuko :)

Furutech rhodium plated α 4-pin XLR vs Neutrik 4-pin gold XLR ? Are there any differences in sound sig or just brand and HQ connector?

I hope ThanatosVI do not mind for re-posting ;) If we are still in business again... Matt, we are still intrested?

Please, try high impedance headphones :)

I think France would be an option here in EU: https://www.son-video.com/article/haute-fidelite-amplificateurs-amplis-casque/cayin/ha-6a
