    MEE Audio Pinnacle P1 - $199 Dynamic Driver Flagship *Reviews 2nd Post*

    I have a balanced cable for my P1s on order to pair with my Theorem 720, will report back after burn in, etc.   Not sure what to expect as someone pointed out earlier in the thread that the designers were not intending for the P1 to be used with balanced cables; we'll just have to see!

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    I have the Asguard2/1st gen combination and you won't be disappointed!. High quality recordings are essential to get what everyone is raving about, other than that you can just focus on getting lost in the music. I replaced the stock cable with a Lavricable and never looked back.

      I think all the usual suspects will make the H6 V1 sound better to phenomenal.  I prefer the Theorem 720 I own, but have also had great results listening to my H6 V1 on the Chord Mojo and the TEAC HA-P50 amp/DAC combos.     I quit trying to listen to just my iPod as it was too frustrating...

    Cypher Labs Theorem 720

    ...and after 75 hours of burn in, the Mee Pinacle P1's with the Theorem is spectacular.  With the P1's high impedance, there are times I am using the "Medium" gain setting on the Theorem 720.   With this combination I hear zero "hiss", massive soundstage, great separation, and the P1's have...

    MEE Audio Pinnacle P1 - $199 Dynamic Driver Flagship *Reviews 2nd Post*

    That's what I'm thinking...stop the unraveling before it starts and you shouldn't need to do anything about the middle sections???   Plan B would be a tiny ring of heat shrink tubing in the appropriate color...

    MEE Audio Pinnacle P1 - $199 Dynamic Driver Flagship *Reviews 2nd Post*

    P1's arrived today, ditto Mouseman above on the packaging and presentation.   Hooked them up my Theorem 720 and started blasting'  First impression was that the soundstage is indeed frikin' huge, second thought was that the separation and detail was even better than I expected.  I have them...

    Cypher Labs Theorem 720

    Currently running the Theorem 720 in my desktop set up as a DAC only from a source MacBook to a Schiit Asgard 2 and am very pleased with the results.  I wanted something that could be used both as a portable and desktop component until I could afford a dedicated reference quality DAC.   Set up...

    I tried both, and it was really, really close. They are both "swiss army knives" in that they are good enough to be used both as portables and as dedicated DAC components in a quality desktop set up. I really think the SQ of the Theorem for vocals and mids was slightly more crisp and detailed...

    If it fits your budget, I tried both the Chord Mojo and Cypher Labs Theorem 720 with my H6s and went with the Theorem. It's a noticeable improvement to use them with an amp, you won't regret it...

    Yeah, there may be a silver cable for sale on the appropriate forum here shortly :o My experience has been that if the cable is well made and has a high percentage of silver I can't tell the difference from copper after burn in; your millage may vary...

    Currently using the V-moda and it was an upgrade over stock. I am still burning it in but have high hopes for this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pure-Solid-Silver-upgrade-cable-for-BeoPlay-H6-NAD-VISO-HP50-Logitech-UE9000-/171436801450

    Chicago area Headphone Meet - Feb 6th 2016 - ChiUniFi

    I'm planning on attending with a friend if his schedule cooperates.  Just starting in the hobby so not so much to contribute other than strong interest, a Cypher Labs Theorem 720 portable amp/DAC, and a pair of B&O H6s.   Longtime active member and participant in the Chicago area espresso...

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I hate taking the other side of this particular argument as it's not where my sympathies lie, but if we're leaning towards judging what we like based on observation and visceral reaction should we completely write off the use of what is really just another tool?  What if we like the Auto Tune or...

    Cypher Labs Theorem 720

    Huh.  That makes me jealous, wish I could have afforded to keep both!!!   If the Mojo had the ability to charge I-Devices and a balanced output like the Theorem I might have gone the other way.  As it was, the extra features and the slightly better sound to my ears made the Theorem worth the...

    +1 on letting them burn in. Took me about 100 hours before I felt like they stopped getting better, though YMMV. I love mine for classical and jazz...

    Cypher Labs Theorem 720

    Bought the Theorem four months ago over the Hugo after spending a few hours with each. Both were excellent but liked the Theorem detail slightly better with my jazz/classical lossless grade music collection. Great pairing with my B&O H6s, slightly less so with my various middle of the road IEMs...
