I think it looks awesome irl. :)

Not sure what you mean? Mine has USB input, just like the photo from the website:

I'm not doubting you because I have no personal experience with either of those head phones, but I will say I am surprised by what you say.  It is exactly the opposite of what I would have expected given all the reviews on those.  

Well on the positive side it gives me the excuse to look at the custom Katana's :)

Just a sad warning guys, don't rely on the carabineer on the pelican case to hold your Nobles.  I changed planes in Atlanta recently and clipped the case to my back pack, when I got to the next filight the carabineer was still there but the box (with IEMs) was gone.  Checks with security and the...

Thanks for the quote from the manual. :)  I'll follow that.   I finally got my hands on my LC today and so just saw the link to the manual in the box:  https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1155/5966/files/manual.pdf   I've started the break-in period, currently with headphones connected, but will...

Thanks Muinarc, how long do you suggest?

Regarding the burn-in process:  Is this something that is detailed in the packaging/instructions?   If not, would someone please be so kind as to give details of how to properly do the burn in?  (Music playing?  Headphones Connected?  What volume? How long?  etc.)   Mine should arrive today so...

Where did they say that the warranty on the new units would only be a year?  I too thought these would also come with a lifetime warranty.    These two posts are the first I've seen about the warranty being reduced.  Lifetime warranty was a major factor in my decision to purchase.   From the...

Since I updated my v2 to xmos, I now have the card that apparently would allow someone who has a v1 to upgrade to v2. I'll sell it cheap if anyone is interested PM me.

I wish it hadn't taken this long to get feedback.  We've been asking for clarity for several weeks.

For those of you with shipping notifications, mind posting when you placed your orders so we can try and guess when we might get ours?

Yeah I hadn't the same experience with the Oculus Rift. I placed my order very early on, 7 or so months later and they went on sale at BestBuy on the same day I got an email saying my order had been further delayed (this was may) I ended up not getting it until the end of July. So I would have...

I received that reply on Sept 5th.

This is the response I got when I emailed them a couple of weeks ago (was in the US until yesterday so I was hoping to save on international shipping but no luck); And no I did not get the email from Warren she mentions, did anyone else?

Sorry its beyond my technical knowledge.  I have no idea how to interpret the ~60 charts between all those links, much less compare them to other DAC's where I'm not even sure how to find the same data.     I appreciate seeing the links, but would have enjoyed it more if there had been some...

Are those good/bad/awesome?

Here is a link to the same cable on Amazon US, if that helps.  I'm tempted to give one a try and see if I can still get Highres music directly from ipad/iphone to my DAC.   ...

What I mean is something like this:  Lightning to USB-b so you can skip the camera adaptor:   http://www.abcelectronique.com/comparateur/produit-iconnectivity-lightning-usb-b-ios-cable-adaptateur-121000727538.html       But maybe a bit higher quality?

Ok I'd like to change the topic with a noob question:   In anticipation of receiving my LC, I'm trying to make sure I have all I need for it to perform at its best once it arrives.   This will be my bedside system and here is what I have so far:   DAC - Violectric V800 v2 Amp - Liquid Carbon...

  Hello RoyT,   Did you ever give this a try?   I'm curious about the removal/installation difficulty, how did it go?  I'm not the best at small soldering, but have a neighbor who is a wiz I can bribe to help if the sound is improved enough to merit the effort?

Ok I've contacted the USA site regarding the XMOS "upgrade".   In the meantime, could you please explain what the difference is between the V1 and the V2 with Tenor?     Thanks

Mine serial is v800859, can you tell if it is V2 from that serial number?   I'm a bit confused when you say the last v800 drop was for V1.   Here is a screen grab from my transactions page on Massdrop:  

I purchased it from the most recent Massdrop sale, it was advertised as V2.  I'll double check the unit.  I'm not sure how to tell if it is Tenor or XMOS?
