Do you have any news besides what Fried Reim has written in one of his latest posts? I was too excited about receiving my new HPA that I forgot to interview him about his upcoming DAC when I was at his company in Konstanz.

The most obvious difference is a strong, well defined bass and sub-bass. Mids and highs are also better, it results in a very clear separation of instruments and voices. I was almost shocked by the sound quality improvement thru my speakers. Instruments and voices were precisely positioned...

I picked up my Niimbus HPA US 4+ directly in Konstanz last week. I use all it’s many features: three sources connected, output thru HP and active loudspeakers with output gain adjusted to -15, regularly switching between phone and line out using the fancy remote. The sound quality is...

Thank you for this link, I also ordered a pair for my new HEKV2. I think the original cables are good too, but with the rubber tube around they feel really awful. Hifiman also uses rather cheap XLR connectors.

@TeamHiFiMAN: how do you differentiate Arya and HEKV2? Is it the same driver?

Sounds like a good plan to me. I was close to buying the SE: I listened to it for half an hour with a selection of my favourite songs and loved it, then tried the V2 and liked it even more! To me the heights of the V2 sound a little brighter (in a good way), the rest is about same. For the past...

It wasn’t “off the shelve” before, so you had it taken off. That’s fine, I respect that. By the way, it’s still on sale on your own Chinese webpage;)

It on sales in China on Cayin Chinese webpage cn.cayin.cn and on Taobao: 【cayin/凯音 HA-300斯巴克真空管耳机功率放大器耳放胆放HIFI发烧】http://m.tb.cn/h.Wus9mXh 点击链接，再选择浏览器打开；或复制这条信息￥aO510LYq9VD￥后打开手淘[来自超级会员的分享]

I use my new T51i with iPhone7+ and Dragonfly red, it improves the sound, but you loose the “i”-functions (mic and control buttons)! With the Dragonfly the bass becomes tighter and highs become clearer, the overall resolution improves. However, using the T51 with my Violectric HPA-V280 improves...

Hi FumblingFoo, I own the HPA280 and DAC850 (besides the PRE630 and PPA600 to connect my Rega to active speakers and HPA at the same time), and I‘m very curious how much the RS05 can contribute to even better SQ. Did you get one as you announced above?

I work in Tianjin where Hifiman is located. I would like to see their factory and know more about the process how this headphone has been developed and manufactured. It just feels right to "buy local".

I visited Beyerdynamic personally after the right side of my mk1 died within one week. They admitted a systemic quality problem of a thin wire but told me that they are not allowed to do service. You need to contact AK. I did, sent emails several times, but they never replied. Also the attitude...

Easiest way is to return it to Amazon, then buy a new one. You can do this within one month. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry, I'm no expert, I just read a lot about Violectric and decided they offer a good value for money on all their products. They sent me a long introduction about their cables (in German), and I think they're good enough for me - I use stock OFC cables for my HP. There seems to be no limit to...

If your buying any product of Violectric/Lake People, ask for their cables as well, I think they're very good value for money. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This is what Fried, CEO of Lake People says about optimal position of volume control on V800/850: We thought a bit about this 3.5 dB headroom from Benchmark ... Well, it is theroretically possible that because of the interpolation processes an overshoot may occur between two full-scale samples...

This was my first visit of a headphone show and I loved it. I hope one day Canjam will come to China. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And finally one more item on my wish list: Staxx. The friendly guy there told me that the technology of high voltage with low current was originally used to listen to sounds in the body. I think I have to spend more time to listen to them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fiio has a new mini DAC with good optic/haptic, Cayin has really great build quality and their tube amp sounds well with Sennheiser HD800, I really like Beyerdynamic's T5P (I have the T1P, the difference is not big, but I prefer open), and I really don't like the look of Astell&Kern's AK380! I...

Here is an interesting product: a balanced cable connector that can be the basis for any kind of plug. It looks very reliable, so check this company out: DITA ditaaudio.com. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was always interested in Chord, they have their unique design and excellent reviews of SQ. But I may have been spoiled from before so even listening to the Chord Dave didn't do it for me. The Moyo is an eye candy, really small but quite heavy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
