Just got hold of a unit at my local dealer, here in Singapore. Just an early impression below. Unit is well built with chasis made of 2mm aluminium. It has some good heft to it, and together with 4x silicone stud feet, it stays pretty much immobile on the desk. Volume pot is smooth and with...

Logitech H370 headset and Rode AI-Micro soundcard Had a well used Logitech headset I was going to toss away. Then decided to cannibalize the mic for my Rode AI-Micro just for fun. As I popped out the drivers from the headset, I realized that they are mini ball socket joints which look familiar...

The lip sync time lag was too much, so I didn't go as far as getting down to the sound quality unfortunately. Ideally it should be 50ms or less. My existing setup for TV is the MEE Audio Connect + Plantronics SENSE, both of which are aptx LL equipped. Light, good comfort, and great audio for...

Thanks Andy for looking into the divider bar light - this will certainly ease operating the N3 in the dark. As for using the N3 instead of my QP1R, from my perspective it needs to be looked at in totality, as a whole. The N3 offers good BT, which the QP1R obviously does not, and it is better...

Been having the N3 for couple of days now. Bought it for BT play with Plantronics BB Pro 2, there's definitely sound improvement over my Samsung S7 Edge. However I found more time spent using it cabled to my Denon MM400 - they simply sound awesome together. In short - just smooth, very smooth...

Just circling back to give my feedback. Managed to find some time last month to make my own SPC cable. Nothing fancy just brand less generic SPC wire which sells for US$1 per meter. Did a 4 wire round braid, heat shrinked. Eventhough it's not a balanced cable I decided to use 4 wires because I...

Just wondering whether silver plated cable may help brighten up the slightly rolled off treble. So how do you find this SPOCC cable so far? Thanks in advance.

  My exact sentiment from yesterday trying to make a pigtail adapter just like yours.  Gotta have a really hot solder gun to burn through the thick metal sleeve solder area, so I am reattempting this coming weekend with a fatter tip to try to finish off from where I let off yesterday!

Thanks PETEREK. Alllanmarcus - thanks too. Found it! Link here if anyone else may be interested: http://www.isamwoo.com/images/sn.pdf

Thanks PETEREK. So pins 3 and 4 are not used? No shorting required (as in the case of LCD mini XLR)?

Can anyone kindly share wiring diagram or instruction for Ether SN8-4 connector please. Appreciate if you can also share picture of the soldering points for me to have an idea how difficult it potentially is. I have fair experience building LCD cable using mini XLR, so now I'm considering...

Here's what I diy myself. Right angled connectors definitely works best!

Same thought crossed my mind to make it a balanced cable with solid core UPOCC to give the sound more body, but I simply do not know where to begin to disassemble the headphone housings. Good luck and please share your success story/photos! Thanks.

I have similar experience with Ether C when I auditioned it recently. It sounded thin and the bass was light. In comparison Ether has fuller body and deeper bass. Considering they both use the same driver, the result caught me by surprise. I am now wondering if this is caused by poor cup seal. I...

I went audition Ether C yesterday with my Mojo and X5ii. I was quite set on getting a pair of closed planar to complement my LCD2F. However it sounded a bit thin and the bass is a tad too light. I even tested it on ALO Studio Six which gives it slightly more body, focus and tube smoothness but...

Re: #1 - same for my unit when I received it.  As John was around, my retailer highlighted to him immediately to which I was told it will loosen over time - seems like a known issue.  Indeed after couple of weeks now, the "stickiness" is mostly gone and the mishap didn't happen anymore. But yes...

Was listenening to ATH-M50X last night with X5ii as transport. Sounded really good - nice imaging, thought soundstage was slightly wider than I remembered it to be, good clarity and dynamic. Didn't observe any treble roll off unlike W40 iem and T51p on-ear. As for my LCD2F while sounding full...

Thanks musicheaven. I decided to cannibalize the stereo plug from an existing cable as I like these Neutrik connectors :)

Just finished making another coax cable for FiiO X5ii this time with 2 L-shaped connectors. This trss 4 pole connector is bigger than my previous one so it's much easier to solder. For the connector on Mojo end I have used a normal stereo 3 pole connector - just solder Left and Ground points...

Totally with you. It was an absolute pain to solder the trss connector with all the solder points being so cramped together. Good suggestion on the STP. But I'm under the impression that the ground braid must be connected on both end so that some current will constantly flow through to create an...

Listening to jazz vocal with X5ii + Mojo + Weston W40. Sounds good and satisfying. Detailed with clean sound, full bodied, and a bit bassy in a good musical way and doesn't over power other frequency range. Just a slight treble roll off which is ok that it's not fatiguing. But the roll off is...

http://m.ebay.com/itm/321140699877 Ain't gonna look elegant but get you your music for now until you are able to get one custom made.

It will be a long (worthwhile) wait. Was told it will ship by end December. Hope there will be others who get it sooner and post their thoughts. I did manage to audition the Mojo with some amps at a local headfi shop before I ordered the LC yesterday. Hp was LCD2F. Burson Soloist SL -...
