    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Introducing the LCD-i3

    Yeah, wishful thinking on my part.

    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.

    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.

    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 &...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Astell&Kern KANN CUBE

    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.

    [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...

    Astell&Kern KANN CUBE

    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.

    [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...
