    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    Hi, Apart from the teething problems some are having I just want to clarify how you use this thing. I have a Zen Mini MkIII music server connected to my router. At present I use it via the iPeng App from my iPhone and iPad. I play flawlessly to my AirPod pros without pops, scratches or...

    Campfire - Solaris

    Hi, I’m currently using Andro OG, time for an upgrade. I’ve as we all do read the threads and reviews and have narrowed it down to the U12T or Solaris. Well, that was before the new 2020 Solaris was announced which has tempted me even more in that direction. I certainly like Campfire build...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    I owned the WM1A quiet a while back now and have been through an SP1000 and SR15 since, also had IE800S’s. I think the main reason I sold it on was I though it was a touch veiled. I didn’t find it exciting enough. Only from memory mind and I now drive the Andromeda Golds with the ZX507 and find...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    Just a thought on the UK capped ZX507, when I bought a WM1A from Amazon UK it was capped. I unlocked it via a simple routine (cannot remember the name). Afterwards I remember it unlocked the high gain setting and removed the warning about hearing damage. Having bought a Japanese version of the...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    Using the Andro Golds, the SR15 drove them well enough and sounded good. The ZX507 definitely sounds better. Who knows how much better when fully burned in, (this is only SE at present) time will tell. Warm and deep, yet detailed and airy, hard to describe but I think Sony have nailed it, so...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    I’ve only charged it once so far, mixture of tidal and music from micro sd card using Sony Walkman app. I’m currently on 65% battery, used for about 6 hours plus lots of android set up etc. I would imagine you’re looking 10-11 hrs of tidal etc, offline will be more. I think it’s a matter of...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    Finally got my Japanese version via eBay. Only tested with SE at present on high gain with Andromeda Golds. The sound is fantastic, digs down deep, good separation. Only quick thoughts but this pairing is no issue and hiss is no problem to my ears. Using volume at about 50-70 depending on...

    SONY NW-ZX500

    I managed to get one on eBay from Japan for £557 minus 10% discount of £57, some eBay offer. Even with £150 or so import and vat it still is cheaper than Amazon’s £750, hopefully uncapped also.

    Astell & Kern SR15: A&norma Impressions & Reviews

    I am using an SR15 with V3 Andromeda single ended stock cable. I too wondering about going balanced on the SR15. Also has anyone used the Andromeda Golds with the SR15, do you lose the black background with the even lower impedance from the OG Andromeda’s.

    Campfire - Solaris

    Is anybody driving the Solaris with an SR15? Would be very interested on how well the SR15 drives them single or balanced output. Currently have and OG Andro and looking for a better bass kick.

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    OK, so I’m after some advice. I currently have an OG Andromeda running single ended from my SR15 and Apple Dongle from my iPhone 11 Pro. Very happy with the Green Andro’s but just wish there was a little more Bass kick! Are the SE Golds going to be the answer or the Solaris? Really like the...

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    I use my standard Andromeda’s using the Apple Dongle for movies and TV everyday. The sound is fantastic, wide open head turning soundstage and great depth. No problems watching anything on an iPhone using the lowly apple dongle with the Andromeda’s. Music sounds equally superb too. My SR15...

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    I recently got an AK SR15 for use with the 2019 V3 of the Andro. Using single ended with the supplied smokey litz cable, I find the sound excellent. No perceivable hiss, good bass slam and vocals are very prominent in the mix. Great combo and highly recommended. Also find the Apple dongle...

    Yes, loading from AK store, they only approve certain apps. Most of the main Streaming services are there.

    Astell & Kern SR15: A&norma Impressions & Reviews

    I have only recently bought an SR15 and can honestly say it is an excellent DAP. The size is pocket friendly, it has a perfect weight that feels light but substantial at the same time. I recently sold my SP1000 SS as I just could no longer justify the extremely high price and with a new model...

    Sony NW-ZX300

    Apologies if this has already been covered but has anyone used the dac function with an iPhone via cck adapter? I am seriously considering the ZX300 but want to use it with Tidal from my iPhone. Also, am I correct that it can decode MQA?Will be using it with Andromeda’s single ended for now...

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    That’s funny, I bought the Andromeda’s from hifi headphones. Also looking at the Forza Hybrid cable, have a tab open pondering. Is it a step up from the Litz?

    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    Just bought a pair of 2019 Andro’s and love them out of SE connection of SS SP1000. Using Spiral Dot tips, seem to give good balance of bass and treble. Does anybody have a cable recommendation for a 2.5mm balanced? Have read all the stories about the Andro’s being source and cable picky...

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    Thank you, think I'm decided that Solaris is the way to go. I think they'll certainly reproduce what the SP1000 can do without much compromise. Do not want to spend anymore than £1500. I did have the IE800S's a while back, they in hindsight were wonderful with the SP1000.

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    Does anybody have some advice on the SP1000SS with either the Solaris or Focal Clear? I know a full size headphone is totally different to an IEM, but I'm torn between the two. After much reading I think it should drive either wel . I'm after a full powerful sound but detailed too. Anyway...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    Although not in the same league as Mojo/Hugo etc, I am amazed how good the Dragonfly Black sounded out of my iPhone via Roon playing Tidal MQA. That was using B&O H9i. I can’t wait to see what the Empyrean brings to the party.

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    Thanks all, yes will have to take a trip to Audio Sanctuary London or HiFi Headphones on South Coast to have a listen. Post above as everyone’s has made me choose the Empyrean over TT2 upgrade from H2. These sound like the perfect match for my ears, smooth, detailed with slight bass emphasis...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    The Empyreans look great with the Mojo/Poly. How do you find the sound from the mojo?. Are you using Roon with the Poly? I did have a mojo a while back with the Oppo PM3, must confess I wasn’t keen on the pairing. I don’t think it was the mojo at fault and I should have auditioned other...
