Same I really like the amp but it did take a while to get it setup nicely. Better tubes helped. What DAC are you using and have you modded your HD800 to remove the 6k issue (if not maybe try a little EQ to remove that bump)? I had a Sabre and had to change the filter as well as the tubes to...

Looking at the Matrix Sabre Pro MQA and probably top of my list but wondering other peoples thoughts and how people think it compares to a few other DAC. Matrix X Hear as a DAC the Sabre is better but not by much and the amp in the X is average. Mytek Boston DAC+ Heard it and it is a good...

I cannot try one at a dealer as live in Australia and no dealer here at all, would have flown to Singapore to try one but alas Rona. I like the look of the Elise better for me from reviews and it's half the price of the Euforia AE.

Why the AE edition, that one is twice the price of a Elise? Is the normal Euforia not worth it?

Yeah I know most don't seem to use the cross talk feature. I have some Siemens 6922 A4 tubes for my Echo which improved it immensely. So is it better to get the Elise and upgrade the tubes or is the Euforia fundamentally better then the Elise due to improved internals?

I had a similar question as was looking at a upgrading my second amp and already have a Echo and love it so wanted to stay with Feliks Audio, I was torn between the Elise or the Euforia. So the Euforia has a few upgrades from the Elise but is the Euforia a step up in terms of value for money or...

If you have any issues, send me a message. I may have a new cable laying around which I was going to use for my IER M9.

I got mine from the Sony spare parts Australia, I am not sure what the comparative Singapore store is though but Sony Care might be able to help you. https://www.speedyspares.com/shop/sony/4007-sony-ier-z1r-balanced-headphone-cable-s0191277421.html?search_query=sony+ier+z1r+cable&results=2565

Got to try some new driver tubes. Two versions of the Siemens CCA and I think it was a Russian 74 or 75. The other Siemens Rohre come in a slightly darker blue box, would not recommend for the Echo as its a bit more brighter and was not a good match, whats the difference between the 2...

Yes you would probably not get the best sound quality. It will probably have background sound which would affect sound quality. I have heard some people do use lower impedance headphones on the Echo but technically not recommended. The Elise goes down to 32 ohm but it's double the price. I...

I like the Feliks better then the Woo Audio but I think you would be limited to the Woo Audio based WA6 on impedance of your headphones. The Hifiman and Aeon will work on the Feliks but it is not recommended, didn't check the impedance of your other headphones just knew these would not be...

I was looking at upgrading both tubes, was thinking Gold Lion for driver and power as https://www.evatco.com.au/6h30pi-sovtek Any other recommendations? Is the 6h30p interchangeable with the 6h30pi? Also is the also have the same question with the 6n6p and the 6n6pi?

Feliks Audio Echo?

I personally would stick with Woo Audio or Feliks Audio around that price. I am currently deciding which Feliks Audio to get next as have the Echo atm so I may have a bias. I like Woo Audio but prefer the look of the Feliks but either seem to be super popular. I think the Elise is considered...

Hmmm, bought the Echo about a month ago and love it so far. Having to use as a preamp into my SMSL SP200 just so I can use my XLR cable as my single ended is terrible and ruins the experience till my new cable comes in. Thinking about rolling tube but I like the sound atm and don't know better...

People have been jumping on this amp for a bit in terms of power and not THX but I was looking at the Cayin IHA-6 which has been around for a a few years. Both are "balanced" and its not that much of a price difference now a days. The Cayin has 7k mw at 32 ohms balanced as well, relatively the...

I am the opposite, after using the Z1R for a while today, going back to the M7 as there something about them. I enjoy the sound profile and bass better for longer listening sessions. I enjoy the Z1R but it more like lollies, I enjoy them but cant live off them forever. I do find the Z1R...

Missing the M7 which I think are highly under rated and were on sale at A2A for over a year at $500aud being around $300usd, which was an amazing price for a amazing piece of kit. No, they just do things differently. The M9 is more detailed in the mids and bass I find, it has better layering...

I am looking at them atm, can get them for under $745aud brand new from a reputable retailer but just not sure if it worth it compared to the 3 pairs of Sonys' I have. Was Considering the IFI IDSD black label first or the Sennheiser HD800s (can get for under $1500aud atm as well) but already...

You probably wont see a difference overall, the sound signature will probably be the biggest difference. The difference with most balanced portable output devices is there is a power increase from unbalanced to balanced. When I tried with my desktop amp, there wasn't a major difference with...

Hmmm what do you mean by good condition, unfortunately I have been very careful with mine but the metal get so easily marked. Either micro scratches but just putting them down on stuff marked mine slightly which affected the shine (probably very minor but depends on your opinion, could probably...

Been listening to the M7 and they are quite a impressive IEM even compared to their older brothers. Ok moving past the above thought id start a convo about a controversial topic being fitment which can relate to all three headphones. Just wanted to check and see how others fit theirs for the...

The M9 as listed on the Sony website would have a Impedance of 20ohms so should be over 60 (I cant be bothered doing the calculations and probably irrelevant anyway) but then you have to take into account the scaling of the volume to power. There are a lot of variables to consider irrespective...

Not much and a lot as just depends on what you looking for. They also target different people and preferences. The m9 is better in mids, seperation and detail. The z1r is like a large diameter headphone, a W signature, amazing bass and more musical as such. Both are end game as such just in...

Just warning people, if you bought them when on sale you got a good deal from A2A but there maybe a ripple effect on the worldwide market as Sony Australia has raised the price on all the IER series which has already flowed onto A2A also including the DAPs prices. Z1R went from $2500 to $2995...
