Back xlr are not same. 6.3 and 4.4 are same signal tho.

Rly? I literally find Wi-Fi to be better but I might be weird - I prefer 6.3mm to 4.4mm for my HD800S. However, for my Genelec G three I prefer XLR outputs instead of RCA.

I use optical connection for youtube, gaming and movies. Streaming for Roon and Tidal. This way I can still watch some videos while listening to music (exclusive mode in Roon or Tidal does not allow video to be played).

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've shared anything here, but I couldn't resist chiming in after experiencing so much love for the Naim Uniti Atom HE lately. Let me tell you, this unit has stolen my heart even more than before. Let's start with convenience – it's unparalleled. With the...

Bass has more rumble and it's tighter. Separation, clearness and instruments timbre are better. On the stock cable Monks were sometimes too muddy. Overall Monks are a little warmer with better clarity. I prefer the Monks this way:)

overkill?

Just upgraded the stock cable for balanced Effect Audio Leonidas. I thought that the stock cable is good but after plugging in the Leonidas, I think that stock litz cable is insufficient. As a bonus, I didn't know what to do with the replaced cable....:) My monks rocks now!

Hi, joining the club Andromeda + SP1000SS = marvelous listening experience. Looking for balanced cable now^^

No, You are wrong here. I wrote "sound improvements" but it doesn't mean that I expect them. I have a Forza Audio USB copper cable and I couldn't hear any sound improvements (I used it in the past with mojo also). However, I have to say that cable quality and appearance factor are better than...

You are right here. I don't believe that sponsoring would have impact on their honest opinion. There is no reason for them to lie. HD800 and HD800S are bestselling TOTL headphones in the world and this won't change.

Wouldn't it be easier to ask Sennheiser or Axell Grell what they think about Jude's measurements? In my opinion measurements are important, however listening is more important because not everyone's ears and head shapes are the same. Of course, measurements are used in headphone designing...

I agree that Utopia has better dynamics and detail retrieval and overall driver technology is newer and more advanced. However, I like tonal balance on HD800S more. Regarding the soundstage, you are right here but in contrast, Utopia sounds small in expansive recordings (e.g. Pink Floyd). As I...

Sorry for OT. Call me crazy but I just bought silver usb to micro usb cable for H2. I am going to report the sound improvent after some time with this:)

I had both Focal Utopia for and Chord Dave. I bought this combo because of curiosity. However, I still like Sennheiser HD800S more because it has better soundstage and overall sound signature. I don't want to say that Utopia is worser than HD800S. In my opinion, Utopia is awesome piece of...

I contacted Audeze support and they told me that Cipher Cable supports up to 24/48

Is it downsampling to 96?

Hmmm I used Vox player(Audeze recommended) https://www.audeze.com/cipher-guide and I was able to play 24/192 file. It didn't show any downsample info.

What's the highest resolution cipher can play? 24/192?

Hi, I once had a problem with cipher cable (volume too low on my EU iPhone 6s iOS9 - Sine showroom model) When I bought Audeze Sine for me there wasn't any problem. I have to mention that I updated to iOS 10 meanwhile To sum up: In my opinion there is a problem with your Cipher or iOS Try...

Anyone tried Cipher>iphone7 adapter>macbook 3.5mm?

I ordered Audeze Sine and it will be tomorrow in my house. I guess that I will have to use them for 14 day period and decide to return or keep cipher for phone calls, videos from yt etc. Cipher can be useful  because new Iphone doesn't have 3.5mm (future proof)

Thanks for respond. Is it annoying to change between 3.5mm and cipher whenever portable or on the go?

Hi, Is there anybody out there with Apple Pencil with female to female lightning connector? I found that Sine>cipher>adapter>lightning to usb>macbook could work

Hi, I have chord mojo +iphone combo too but it's not very portable. I use mojo in hotel etc. as traveling dac. When I am on the go I don't want any extra cables just phone in my pocket and headphones on head that's all.

I don't think that a lot of people are able to buy DAP+Sine. I have money but I don't want to carry DAP, phone, headphones.
