Thanks for confirming. I assume it takes it from the nautical terms of Port-red-left & Starboard-right-green...?

Today is a good day...... Noir Hybrid cable arrived :) Really good looking cable. In comparison to the Focal stock cable it is instantly nicer to have some flexibility in the cable. Sound wise, right out of the box, the sound is stunning. over the stock cable, there seems to be a little more...

Just so I am clear, Green = Right, Black (non Green) = Left, Correct? Seems to work anyway :)

Haha, very good point, completely omitted that line of thought! Will very likely go down that route. Thank you.

Haven't connected as yet, but am looking to do so.

Wow, this is End Game setup :)

Does anyone use or know of some form of display stand for the SE100? I would like to prop it up next to the hifi system, ideally physically capable of connecting it to the hifi at the same time. Will keep looking on Google, but cannot see anything obvious as yet. Thanks Jon

I get this too! I‘ve had my zen day for a couple of weeks. Connected to an iMac. Listen to some AK Diana IEMs. Same scenario as you, gets very loud very quickly and when you lower it, sound is very low in just the left ear. I have solved this to some degree by turned the power match off, that...

I went from a SR15 to a SE100, and the bigger screen was a godsend; didn't realise it until I started to use the SE100, so much nicer to use. Visually I do like the tilted screen on the SRxx's though :) I am really no good at describing the sound, but all I can say is the SE100 is a much nicer...

Thanks for the comparison, much appreciated. Cable looks good. My Noir Hybrid are due to arrive tomorrow; can't wait :)

Thanks for coming back to me. I have now logged a ticket. Thanks Jon

Have recently acquired an wifi Zen DAC and have been listening with some Focal Elegia via the 6.3mm jack. Everything is great and am loving it. However, I have bought a 2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter so I can use my IEMs on the balanced socket (have also got a cable coming for the focal to use on the...

Just ordered a Noir Hybrid, so look forward to testing it out :)

Will be interested to see if you discern any differences :)

Thanks for replying and appreciate the comments :)

Thanks, appreciate the response.

How do the Forza cables (Noir Hybrid) compare to the Lavricables Master series. Similar priced. This would be for some Focal Elegias with the source as either a AK SE100 or an iMac with Tidal Masters running through an wifi Zen Dac. Thanks Jon

Blimey, such a complicated hobby to pursue! Looking at cables for the Elegia. I am looking at the possibility of either: 1. Lavricables Master Silver Upgrade Cable @ approx €245 (12 cores of AWG28 (0.33mm ⌀) solid silver 5N purity wire or multistrand litz 22awg (4 core) 2. Artic Cables Ion+...

Great, thanks for confirming, much appreciated.

Possibly a daft question, but I really do not know the answer... I am thinking of getting the Ifi Zen DAC to plug into the iMac and then I can run the Elegias from the Zen DAC (Tidal Masters Streaming). Instead of using the 6.3mm unbalanced output (using the included 3.5mm tp 6.3mm adapter), I...

Certainly did 😀 A promotion on the Elegias helped to seal the deal! I love this combination, there is not a lot of time that the elegias are not on my head. My music tastes are fairly wide, but mainly listen to singer/ songwriters, classical, rock, pop, hip hop/ rap. There isn’t a genre that...

Im sure it is, it is nothing against what you've done; it just takes me back to Sony walkman cassette days where I used wrap the headphone cable around. In time the cable became damaged. In fairness I had less care in headphones back then, although strangely I coveted the walkman, just not the...

Is it just me, but it gives me shivers seeing cables wrapped around devices :)

Design looks amazing, as do all the AK DAPs, but still over the moon with the SE100 :) Not sure I would benefit from having the dual DAC options.

Elegias arrived this morning and they haven't been off my head since! Absolutely love them! Really comfortable, almost don't know I have them on, other than the amazing sound in my ears! I keep getting lost in the music. I have no idea how to describe the soundstage, separation, sonic...
