Here is a cable I tried just today that works well with my iPhone 12 Mini.. No more clicks, or pops, or hard clipping sounds, and sudden stopping, and weird volume changes..

My problem with mine is not EMI/RFIcnoise related, no problem with hiss either.. but the Balanced output [only] hard clips (clicking noise along with the music *and stops playing in iPad*) when volume is increased just a tad beyond medium with an older iPhone and iPad with the latest IOS.. No...

Hi, Thanks. I did re-flash twice using the FW found in Earmen’s site.. It helped with the crackling somewhat but did not eliminate the stopping in the middle of the track and the losing of volume.. Maybe with the latest IOS devices it would play nicer?.. No problems with the laptop playing...

Hi, Anyone here experiencing distortion and crackling sounds intermittently with the Balanced output? It only happens when in medium to loud volumes. And when the volume is high the track stops and loses digital connection.. This only happens with Balanced, the SE output is fine and has no...

Does the Sig still use Elna Silmic II caps for the PSU and decoupling?

Thanks! I guess they need immediate wiping after every use? BTW.. How come the Z1R balanced cables are cheaper than the M9 balanced cable in the Sony online shop? Z1R: https://sony.encompass.com/item/12434619/Sony/1-912-774-21/ M9: https://sony.encompass.com/item/12319321/Sony/1-912-704-11/

Hi, This is the Sony released “M12SB1” in collaboration with Kimber right? Is around $190 for these a good deal brand new?

Thanks for the heads up on the “++”! I still have my old versions but after a couple of years of use they need replacing soon..

Thanks for the link!👌🏼 Looks like they have a variety of nice adapters I need too..

Thanks guys! I appreciate the valueable feedback.. PS - does anyone know where to get JVC Spiral Dots tips in Large size (online)? Amazon ran out months ago..

Thanks! How does the sound compare to the stock M9 cable? I plan to buy new cables as the stock one that came with mine now has some cosmetic damage..

Hi, Would the Z1R stock cables fit the M9 or M7 mmcx sockets well? Thanks!

Hello, Anyone know where I can purchase online (U.S.) a spare IER-M7 Balanced (Pentaconn) cable? I like the stock cable best in terms of sonics and ergonomics.. The one I have was left in a very hot environment and the ear guides and plastic part near the connectors got cosmetic damage when I...

Thank you, both.. I hope an xDSD BL happens, so that would be my next upgrade for the Nano BL..

Doesn’t the xDSD have the same parts quality built-in (Silmiics, etc.) as the Nano BL?

I hope CA makes XL Cloth Pads too..

Thank you, that was helpful. Regards

Hi, Is the current firmware more stable than the stock one? Should I update mine?.. I use it (BT) with Apple devices, PC Laptop, and an LG OLED TV.. Thanks.

Hi, What improvements did you notice without the White Sticker on the stock pads with zero black dampeners? Thank you.

Just got mine at a good price.. plus got a pair of cloth pads too.. These will never be sold though lol. They’re ideal for stuff like that new release from Khruangbin, and groups like Prince Far I & The Arabs.. Enjoyment factor through the roof.. I mean not just for the obvious idm and edm..

Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply.. With the fenestrated Aeon 2 pads only, are the perceived changes in the area of the mids and upper mids due to the measured response changes with the new pads? Does the new Paper in the Aeon X only makes a subjective hard to measure difference? Thanks!

Hello Dan, Any plans to sell a Kit for modders to emulate the changes you made for the MD Aeon Open X? A kit that includes new paper for the drivers and the fenestrated ear pads? It would be great for Aeon Flow Open owners like me.. Thanks!

No, not yet.. I really like that it is well engineered in terms of performance (to price ratio), but for my main portable use it is just too impractical for me to plug in and lug around a power bank in there too, especially for IOS..

If ever E1DA releases a 9038 version with “dragonfly” levels of power consumption (IOS and Android), then I’ll bite..

Please do share your opinions about the item when you get to try it. Thanks..
