What country are you in? I’m in Canada and have a pre-order on the Sony.ca website but there is no indication as to availability. I’m hoping I’ll see it before the end of this year.

Vamp898, thank you for the detailed and useful responses. Reading up on the output power, from what I understand, 4x output power results in about twice the loudness? Do you find that to be true? Would you happen to know why they made the balanced output more powerful? I have a pair of...

Has anyone tried the following screen protector or found a glass one that fits the NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2? The one from Amazon Japan has shipping costs twice that of the price of the product...

I really hate selling things because of all the drama of dealing with low-ballers, etc. I tried to search the forum for recommended pairings for the Sony WM1ZM2 and couldn't find anything. I had an iBasso DX80 which I had to have repaired (but iBasso damaged it worse and it was DOA) so this...

The Z1R was released on 2018 October so they are almost 4 years old. Does anyone have a sense of how often Sony updates their IEMs? I have a NW-WM1ZM2 on "pre-order" in Canada and am looking at getting the Sony or Senn I900. I do get FOMO so I'd hate to buy the Sony IEM and then have them...

I am still waiting for my NW-WM1ZM2 to arrive (I'm in Canada) and am wondering if you have ever tried using your HD800 with the Sony player. I haven't picked a really high end pair of IEMs and was considering use my HD800S or Beyerdynamic T1 with the Sony player.

ProtegeManiac. Thank you for the information. I just learned last night that the iBasso DX80 has a line output voltage of 1.6V so that could explain why the volume is a bit low in the Valhalla. Does that make sense? In that case, maybe I should consider the Modi. Hopefully, I can ask a few...

For the last couple of years, I’ve been using an iBasso DX80 into Schiit Valhalla 2 into Sennheiser HD800S/Beyerdynamic T1. I don’t have much time to use the set up and recently realized the iBasso was not working. It was not used much but the buttons on the front just stopped responding and I...

I've actually had the MM400 headphones for almost two weeks but haven't had time to even open the box.  I purchased them primarily because I like the way they look.  I was watching the price of the headphones and when the price dropped a couple of weeks ago, I ordered them.  My first pair of...

I like Adele's music but I find her recordings a bit compressed. Does anyone else find that? I bought a pair of the Denon headphones just on looks and hope they sound as good as I feel they look.

I don't think it would work because there is no option to scan the usb jack. The options are Scan 1 Scan 2 Scan both

Thanks for the links. I can't really tell from the photos if the cable needs to be removed before fitting into it those cases. That seems to be a common challenge for many cases with wired headphones though.

Amazon Canada seems to have a good price on the Denon Music Freak AH-MM400 at $315. I don't know if they sound good but I picked up a pair just on looks...

Canada is not included in the deal either for Power Amp. I use Rocket Player because it allows for sorting by Album Artist.

I've had my DX80 for a couple of weeks now so I will share my experiences since this thread helped me so much. :grinning: I purchased my device from B&H. The first arrived without the shrink wrap, a dented corner and missing accessories. The replacement had all the parts but was also missing...

I have purchased quite a bit of pro camera gear from B&H Photo and have had mostly good service. I purchased a new Canon L lens once and received an open box item. I just purchased my DX80 from B&H and received an open box item. The shipping box did not have any damage and the DC80 was wrapped...

Oh good question! I hadn't thought it completely through. I'm wondering about DX80 (coax out) + Valhalla 2 Vs DX80 (headphone out) Vs Iphone (headphone out) + Valhalla 2 Vs Samsung S7 Edge (headphone out) + Valhalla 2 One thing I have noticed is that the headphone out of the S7E is noticeably...

Oh. I hope this isn't a dumb question but will the DX80, using FLAC files from CD, sound better than my iPhone 6 and Samsung S7E when connected to a Schiit Valhalla 2? My two best headphones are T1 Gen2 and HD800 .

I use Rocket Player on my S7E and take the time to find high resolution album art. I do actually like the album art because the display on the Samsung Galaxy is amazing. I don't mind buying the software if it's worth it so I'm curious if the album art is higher quality with dB power amp versus...

The battery issue I'm referring to is people reporting that the device battery dies and doesn't hold a charge after only a few recycles. On my Samsung S7E, when sorting by album artist, I will often get multiple entries for the same album by the same artist because different songs on the same...

It took me forever to find an Android music player that sorts by album artist. Oddly, the iPhone doesnt have an option for artist and only uses album artist (that I can see) and it seems so obvious. I wonder why such an obviously useful feature doesn't exist.

I'm thinking of getting a DAP to feed my home Schiit Valhalla 2.  I've been using my smartphones to-date, but with the recent purchase of the T1-2 and HD800S, I'm looking for something with a higher line-out power.   A few things are stopping me from buying it DX200 soon to come.  I'm not sure...

I would like to get a pair of Beoplay H7 or H8 but have a couple of questions I've been trying to figure out.   Hopefully someone has seen them all in real-life.    Colours I'm leaning towards the H8 but the colours online show a drastic difference with the Argilla Bright.  In some photos...

Did anyone actually get the HD800S for $1110?!!!

Thanks.   I have never heard anyone say it doesn't matter so that's good news!  Does anyone know if there are any A/B tests comparing headphone out to AMP vs DAC line-out to AMP?     Going from DAC to amplifier means I have to either buy a new DAC or a new digital player with DAC.  Since both...
