I was shocked how much I liked these with the argon mod and some general tuning.

Elex have been reliable, almost 2 years in for me. Paid $550 and been perfectly happy with them.

I was going to say I don't ever recall seeing that as well.

That would be great. I read a head-fi review vs the gen 3 and most of the complaints were os issues that I personally haven't experienced so it's not really helpful for me. Guessing something like the RS6 would be a more significant upgrade in the long run anyways.

You have to email customer support. They will also suggest the video posted above if you don't want to pay extra.

Bought the shorter headband and that is the way to go IMO. The original headband made it feel like they were weighing down on my neck, now it feels more floating. I don't get why the longer headband is standard.

I've used Sparkos and Burson, quite enjoyed both and it definitely helped with the HP output. For high impedance it's probably not the best though.

I just tried mine and it works fine with poweramp and the hiby player. Poweramp: OpenSL output enabled for usb dac, hiby: I didn't change anything for hiby but you can try exclusive hq usb audio access. Also check the android dev settings to see if usb audio routing is disabled.

Try a slight bend, as it's been said most of us go outward but it should be fine if you make small adjustments.

Looks like it's just a sale. $549 on their site and other units are lower priced also.

No issues with the update so far

Anyone tried out the new firmware yet?

I haven't used either of those but for awhile I had a weird bug with Poweramp where using the experimental hi-res output setting it would max out the headphone volume once the headphone jack was connected and I was unable to reduce the volume. Reinstalling fixed it but I still don't know what it...

Which app?

Try enabling the exclusive hq usb audio access in the Hiby App.

Might be a USB setting that needs to be enabled, I tried it again with the Mobius and it worked fine.

Has anyone encountered the volume maxing out when connecting and disconnecting headphones? It's caught me by surprise a couple times now and it never used to do this.

Depends on your headphones functionality but you should just be able to directly connect to the usb port.

Yep the ss3602 fit perfectly with 2 risers for me. I was considering trying the ss2590 but it looks like I would have to leave the unit open and use a different number of risers to work.

So while I was visitng my brother I was able to confirm that the setup worked with the powered apple USB-C dongle. It had to have a separate power source for the dongle or it didn't work.

I'm going to assume like most things it depends on what it's connected to. I've been able to get it to work with my Denon receiver and my Dx7Pro, no issues with sound quality that I could detect. Connection was simple, usb-C from the R6 directly into the coax input.

I had to lower the mids (6k-10k) also and then added a bass shelf. I felt they were more harsh with the balanced cable so I use the 3.5mm. Now I like them a lot.

Looks like you might need an apple usb-c to usb-a adapter and a powered hub. I don't have either one so I can't test it. I did try it with my Fiio X3MII and it immediately goes into dac mode. Of course this isn't running off the android OS so I suspect that may require some work around.

Are you sure the cable you're using has data transfer capabilities? I can try it on mine later.

I still want to try the Sparko Discrete Op-amps in this.
