Interesting. I will need to get hold of some extra filters to test.

I'm looking for SE846 filters sound that is between blue and black. Does anyone know where to get those?  Basically not so much base as black, but slightly lighter.

Is there a soul trade in option for this?   It's really cost a lot. I'll only wish i got a chance to sample them.   Or.. find a way to make more money.. hahaha

My usage on Foobar now is without any upsampling, couldn't hear the difference. And not using any Resampler and leave DSD to PCM/PCM to DSD method to none. Only need it to support DSD files.

Just an FYI, on Note 4 with Lollipop no issues.

  That's pretty neat. Need to head up to look for same Candy can i can use. What cable are you using?

Tough luck bro. what are the voltage and amp for those adapters? are those cables data cable?    I tried with Nvidia Shield AC Adapter, it worked as well. Need to pair it with a data cable.  ...

Interesting fact on Samsung power adaptor, i have the same problem as well, i can't charge it using one of my Samsung Power adaptor. It had to be a generic one.

Currently, due to an incident at home with the kids.... I've changed my layout (something to do with dropped PHA-3, and my SE846 got tangled on a wheel of a chair.. *almost  faint* I moved them to a safer location which is on my desk.   So I am now charging my PHA-3 using data cable from my PC...

    Sonic Defender, a USB data cable can charge and transfer data at the same time compare to charge cable. Sony has always do an interesting USB charging implementation, However i read somehwere (no facts/just hear say), with data cable the device can step down the charge to lower power to...

I bought it off from a push cart. One of those China makes generic. Attach photo I do turn it off when not in use.

I'm able to play for long hours with a USB power adapter, so far haven't got it drain on me.   You need to make sure you are using a USB data cable to charge. USB charge cable will not work.   The USB power adapter outputting at 5v 2.1amp

Tried filterless.. didn't work out for me  :(

Tested another clip from Nuclear Blast Record   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCGlO2Ssqwk same issue with the weak bass from the drummer (but bass guitar is strong)   Compare with    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0FA1Z8plyk strong bass from drum   I think this somewhat show the...

I think could be the recording of the base is soft. SE846 usually doesn't associate with weak base....

I tested with my PHA-3 and Shure SE846 and this youtube clip actually sounded quite awesome. (despite not my usual music taste).   I can hear the guitar, vocal quite clearly.   Try just using the headphone and the pc speaker, than with your ifi and see how it goes. You can also try change...

I think the side effect listening to silver cable kicked in since last night, nothing sound sharp anymore... need to give my ear a rest....

No worries. Thanks, :)

lithrai, thanks for such a detail guide. Managed to set it up and running :).   It seems to be my white noise problem could be with the AIO driver, it happens on foobar as well. Wonder if it's a Windows 7 issue. Samething need to fiddle around with on and off and output to resolve the issue.

  I'm interested in getting moon audio iem cable with balance connector (L & R) for PHA-3. In your opinion, how does it fair against POP genre music like Daft Punk?

Just some quick impression for SE846 (White tip, blue filter) with PHA-3 normal output via UAPP (DSD 2.8Mhz tracks)   ALO SXC 24 Earphone Cable Barbra Streisand - Beau Soir Voice (Vocal) - Enhanced vocal Human Nature - Unchained Melody (Vocal + Instrument) - nothing screaming here Daft Punk...

Downloaded and tested HQPlayer briefly, there are so much configuration. Cool thing is it can play using the native AIO driver of the DAC. The software also cost around USD 100...   How do you upsample using HQPlayer?

That would be great, thanks.   Currently I'm just using it on Driver native config.  

Took me quite a while to configure the Foobar as I've missed a few step. Now running nicely. Thanks.   How do you upsample everything to DSD256?

  Thanks lithrai, I'll try foobar2000, it could be the Hi-Res Audio Player issue, I had the same problem on Android with the Onkyo HF Player. While UAPP have no such issue.
