Flawless transaction. Frank is an asset to the community. Deal with him with complete confidence.

Just thought i'd jump in and give my thoughts. I received my unit on Wednesday but have only had the opportunity to try them out today. The big deal seems to be hiss. On my particular unit the hiss is definitely present. For those of you familiar with using sensitive iem's with balanced...

I’m using a 128gb Samsung Evo Plus. They were on sale last week at Best Buy for $64.99. Works flawlessly so far.

Android transfer works well and is easy to use and free. When I added music to my SD card i just formatted the card on the Hiby then inserted the card directly in my mac. Drag and drop what you want on the disk and run scan when you insert it in the Hiby. Works perfectly for me.

I just wanted to drop in and give a quick report here. I received my R6 a week ago. I ordered one from Amazon to be able to take advantage of the return policy if needed. After reading through the thread I was a bit leery about it. After testing it out and using it extensively I can say that...

Thanks! I looked on google and YouTube and could t come up with anything.

Not sure if this is directed at me. I was just stating that opinions of the MSB setup varies. And as far as the 009 goes, I don't even own one so that doesn't apply here either. I do have an 007MK1. I do however own an LCD-4 so I am interested in opinions of the Susvara. And that's why I...

I wouldn't say its safe to say at all. There are plenty of well documented cases of high dollar stat amps that aren't selling anything more than a name. I've even seen impressions of the MSB Select compared to a BHSE and the BHSE has come out on top.

Tried to search for this but can't find the info. Does anyone have any info on changing the pads on a 007MK1? I'm getting a new set in Monday. Thanks for any help!

This is a complete misconception. Get yourself an 007 or 009 and a Carbon and come back and say that. My 007MK1 with a Carbon has better bass and tonality than my LCD-4 and V281 combo.

I'm also running 1.3

I just spent a fairly good amount of time switching between sampling rates. This included going between DSD and PCM multiple times. I even pushed the volume up to listen for anything. I can't hear anything. No popping or strangeness at all. Weird, why would some units show symptoms and others not?

Hmm, interesting. I'll have to do some critical listening to try to discern exactly what your talking about. I haven't specifically listened for it. But in the 3 months I've had the Codex I haven't noticed it.

Is the popping noise limited to when the dac is used as an amp? I use mine as a dac and haven't had any popping when changing sampling rates. And I go through tons of playlists on Roon that switch sampling rates nearly every song. Edit: just for clarity sake I'm running it MacBook running Roon...

Not sure of the brand. I will check when I get home Monday. But it's just a generic power cord. Nothing special. Same with the USB. The box on the one I got was sealed in plastic. Also, make sure yours came with the warranty card to send in. Sending in that card is the only way to get the full...

I'm running a Cardas Clear USB and Cardas Clear Interconnects out of my Codex into a KGSSHV Carbon. I went through a few interconnects before settling on the Cardas. I highly recommend them.

Check out the Violectric V281. It's a great amp. It and the GSX-MK2 are my personal favorites in this category.

I would definitely hope not. But with the new hifiman I'm sure these other companies will be trying to keep up with the pricing.

Interesting, do you have any idea what they are showing? Any chance of a new flagship can?

I've been kind of curious about the QX-5, as the next step I want to make in my system is to add a server. I'm leaning towards an Antipodes right now though. Right now i'm running Roon on a MacBook Pro. I've been running through a bunch of USB decrapification stuff as well. I just removed it...

music_man, great post! Appreciate it. I'm liking my Codex more everyday.

Its a BIG step from the LCD-3 to the LCD-4. I had a set of 3's but got rid of them. The 4's aren't in any way hyped on the top end but everything is presented well and where it should be, which is a lot more than I can say for the 3's. I've been listening to the HD800S pretty much all day. They...

I don't have an issue with the weight. They actually fit me fairly well. I can definitely see how it could become an issue for people with smaller heads (not a problem I have, lol). What DAC are you using? I definitely feel like my Codex is very, very revealing. Maybe too much so for the HD800S...

I've been wondering about the HD800S so I decided to get a set from the Cable Co to demo at home on my setup. I received them Monday and have put a fair amount of listening in. I am reserving a final decision on them for a few days but just wanted to stop in and give my initial impressions. My...

Milo and V281 should handle them no problem.
