The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread
Does anyone in this thread know where I can get a replacement driver for the right earcup. I have bad driver rattle kind of out of nowhere. I harassed my kids to see if they accidentally drop this set but they swear they didn't.- Fasterball

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
It was on Audbile's end or rather it was a problem with the downloaded. I deleted it off my phone and re-downloaded the book with a better connection and it's fine now.- Fasterball

I'm noticing a sibilance when using Audible that I don't hear when listening to music. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a fix?- Fasterball

I tried it in both configurations and I love the Everest configuration. I think it narrows the sound stage slightly but increases the detail - enough that it's worth the slight loss in sound stage. Both configurations are whisper quiet.- Fasterball

So if anyone else runs into this issue this is what worked for me: from your phone you need to plug in a short usb c to usb a female otg cable and from there you need a short usb a male to usb c cable. Plug the cable into your phone first and then plug it into the Burson Playmate. On the...- Fasterball

I read online somewhere that all usb c to usb c cables were otg but that's not true. I was trying my usb c to usb c cable that came with the phone and that was not working. I then used an otg adapter that I got from Audioquest for the Dragonfly and worked beautifully.- Fasterball

I just tried Youtube to no avail. I turned the Playmate on and off again and the number by the PCM on the display changed. I thought it was going to give me sound but it didn't.- Fasterball

I just bought a set of v6 dual classics to go with my vivds. Where should I place these op amps in my Playmate? Is there a preferred set up?- Fasterball

what volume should the playmate be at if I'm connecting a different amp to it? I know earlier in this thread someone said that a certain volume needed to be set to achieve the correct amount of initial power being supplied. I can't seem to find that discussion.- Fasterball

I had the exact same thing happen. Burson is sending a replacement pcb to see if that fixes the issue. No idea what caused it.- Fasterball

The way I think of the difference between classic and vivid is that vivids have a wider soundstage and are more energetic sounding. The classics make the soundstage feel closer more intimate and the detail is slightly better. I like having a combo of the two types.- Fasterball

Thank for this and that's exactly what the picture showed. Does anyone know if some amps do their own unique pinout or is this the standard?- Fasterball

You seem trollish @LexBurson. @raoultrifan gave you a well thought out and we'll reasoned response that took time to compose and you tell him/her not to get the panties ruffled. That's pretty disrespectful. Let's keep it above board.- Fasterball

I wasn't using the older driver supplied by Burson. I was using the one that windows installed on its own and with the driver there was always a DFU issue.- Fasterball
