I might not understand your entire situation with your TT2, but it sounds like you are having a power supply issue and the TT2 is fine.- coolmilo

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Does anyone know how the M Scaler treats DSD files? I have tested DSD 64, 128, and 256 files and I cannot tell any difference with the filters enabled or bypassed. I became a fan of NativeDSD last year and I own quite a few DSD albums now.- coolmilo

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Adding a fingernail did the trick. I placed my thumb on the notches and my fingernail at the end. I pressed up with my fingernail while pressing down and forward with my thumb.- coolmilo

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Greetings, I just purchased a Hugo M Scaler. Does anyone have a trick for installing the batteries in the remote? I can’t seem to open the battery cover. I pushed down on the dots and tried to slide to the bottom of the remote. Thanks- coolmilo

Comment by 'coolmilo' in item 'Focal Arche - Class A Headphone Amplifier and DAC'
I purchased an Arche about a year ago. My Arche would crash when playing DSD 256 files. Focal came out with a firmware in July 2020. This new firmware basically removed support for many supported formats except up to PCM 192 and DSD 64. I lost DXD, DSD 128 and DSD 256 support. What’s worse is...- coolmilo

Focal Utopia General Discussion
I purchased a set of Utopias about 3 weeks ago. About 4 days, the left channel stopped working. Focal was kind enough to replace the broken Utopias with a new one. I also purchased a Danacable Lazuli Reference cable (2 meters) just after I purchased the headphones (based on reviews). Tonight was...- coolmilo

HiFiMan Ananda BT - Biggest, Baddest, Bluetooth Headphones
Greetings Ananda-BT owners. I just received a pair of Ananda-BT headphones. I am not sure if I understand the charging process correctly. When I put the headphones in charging mode (Red LED light), the light never changes to blue. I left the headphones charging all day (more than 8 hours) and...- coolmilo

Introducing the LCD-i3
I really enjoyed the i4. I was thinking that by the time I save up for the i4, Audeze will release the i5. Of course, this is pure speculation. But I think the i4 would be end game for me too.- coolmilo

Introducing the LCD-i3
I think it competes quite well with full sized headphones. If anything, the sound appears a little bigger with full sized headphones. However, I don’t often reach for my Stellia's or Clears over the i3’s. I am thinking that if Audeze comes out with an i5 eventually, this could be end game for me.- coolmilo

Introducing the LCD-i3
I purchased the i3’s about a month ago. I am really enjoying them so far. I purchased an Anker USB-C to lightening audio adapter cable to use the cipher cable with my LG v35. This is a very good pairing. I have also purchased a Norne Silvergrade SX (21awg) - round braid to pair with my Astell &...- coolmilo

Focal Clear headphones
I recommend contacting Trevor at Norne Audio. Unless your budget is in the DYI range, I bet he will recommend a nice replacement cable. Trevor’s cables are like a work of art. I purchased a flagship cable from Norne. The improvement Trevor’s cable has made to the sound quality of my Clears and...- coolmilo

Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
I purchased a TOTL Norne Audio cable for my Stellia headphones and the result is magical. I went from liking the headphones to loving them! The replacement cable improved the sound in every way. In some respects, they sound like an open back headphone now.- coolmilo

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
I recently purchased my first Norne headphone cable from Trevor. I purchased a Silvergarde S3 cable for my Focal Stellia Headphones. I emailed Trevor to get the ball rolling and his recommendations with respect to the best cable for my Stellia were spot on. The cable is just beautiful, like a...- coolmilo

Excellent point! I picked up a 1TB memory card during the Prime sale. This will help with the blocking of the slot because I will be able to add many more albums now.- coolmilo

[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
So, my room is a bedroom converted into an office/media room. It is only 10 ft x 8 ft. The sb2000 would be fine for my room. I went for the sb3000 for the features, including building profiles using my phone. I bought directly from svsound because of their upgrade policy (one year upgrade and...- coolmilo

My official KANN Cube case arrived today. The case seems to be very well made and fits the KANN Cube nicely. I am not too thrilled the case blocks the memory card slot. But at least the case is easy to remove.- coolmilo

[unboxing] KEF LS50 Wireless
I have added a SVSound SB3000 sub to my LS50W and I am very happy with the improvement the sub makes in the system. IMO, a sub is an essential add-on for the LS50W and the LSX too. I do love music that extends deep into the bass region such as jazz featuring a standup bass and electronica...- coolmilo
