    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    @Shanling could you help me? After moving to new place my ET3 won’t connect to Wi-Fi, both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I tried it as suggested in manual and through SyncLink and every time I get an error: Firmware is 1.6 I tried settings reset, turning device on and off, restarting device...

    Save the date: a Sennheiser CES debut

    It’s probably launch of another wireless noice cancelling something… However I hope they someday release a true successor to HD800 and maybe revive HD700 series (?)

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Any reason why you use balanced pads if you use EQ anyway?

    Impressions | aune AR5000 full-size over-ear open headphones with MLD driver, now available.

    It all comes down to preference and music you listen to. For me harman curve bass is in most cases too much and I prefer it flat, but most people prefer boosted bass. HD600 for sure won’t work well for busy electronic or metal music no matter how well driven, but imho they are perfect for...

    Impressions | aune AR5000 full-size over-ear open headphones with MLD driver, now available.

    I have them for almost a week at this point. To be honest this is exactly what Sennheiser should try to do as HD6xx series successor instead of weirdly priced HD660S/S2. These cans are very similar to HD600, but with much better imaging and soundstage and at the same time they do bass pretty...

    THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO

    I got a rental Composer from local headphone store and as far as I can tell these are beautifully made with clearly a lot of work and attention put into construction. I have to listen more but for now I can say the sound is really complete - nothing is lacking, nothing is weird and the amount...

    THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO

    I suppose that most hi-fi stores would be happy to sell you these headphones 10-15% cheaper than MSRP, you just have to negotiate in person :)

    THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO

    That’s because recent Beyers have elevated midbass, high bass and also lower midrange. This makes sound really muddy and boomy. Composer on the other hand has downslope from subbass to midrange which make it sound completely different and I believe it can literally „shake” the frame of headphone 😉

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    There is a DAC in your NAD. Just plug your ET3 to it via optical or coaxial cable

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    By the way… it’s actually a good thing that ET3 use AirPlay1, because AirPlay2 does use AAC stream instead of ALAC, so AP1 is the only way to get lossless CD quality stream. I know. It’s kind of counterintuitive that newer solution is less capable, but well… I guess Apple doesn’t care that much...

    BeyerDynamic 100th Anniversary - 2024 Limited editions

    Given that their compatriots from Sennheiser went back to high impedance drivers (from 150Ohm in HD660S to 300Ohm in HD660S2) maybe they will take a hint that hi-end crowd crave this direction. They have Pro crowd very happy with their mic refreshes, DT900X and DT700X, now it’s time to please...

    BeyerDynamic 100th Anniversary - 2024 Limited editions

    DT1990 with Analytical Pads is basically DT880 with better tonal balance and technicalities, so I guess there is no need for another model there

    BeyerDynamic 100th Anniversary - 2024 Limited editions

    I hope they will release new flagship next year. They released 3rd generation of their Tesla flagships in 2021, but I must say they weren’t really what I was waiting for, so fingers crossed for some classic high-impedance Beyerdynamic flagships.

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Using Optical Out, no upsampling straight to my Element III - damn, this thing is good. CDs sound great, very lifelike, but using Airplay with Apple Music Lossless is also a pleasure, very close to CD playback. :L3000:

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    My ET3 stopped displaying current playing album artworks on its display when using Airplay. It just shows the same artwork over and over again. Any ideas why?

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Y I find it kind ouf counter intuitive, because to me the "analytical" pads actually provide more balanced sound, than "balanced" pads hahaha :D

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    I’ve owned two DT990 (both 600ohm Editionand 250ohm Pro model) and DT1990 and after reading a lot of user feedback/reviews and combining it with my own experience it seems that high impedance Beyerdynamic cans love amplification with good voltage delivery. That’s why they pair excellently with...

    JDS Element III - what DAC chip does it use?

    It uses ES9018K2M Not that it matter for the sound ;)

    Happy listening to all F5 owners! :L3000: Meanwhile I got a dongle to drive the F5 a little better than from default Apple dongle. It is Ikko ITM02 and considering size and price it sounds really wonderful with F5.
