For sale is a pair of Meze Liric Closed Back Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphones. In excellent condition. Also comes with the Meze Silver upgrade cable terminated in 4.4mm. I loved the way that these headphones sounded, beautifully paired with my Cayin RU6. Discrete, not too flashy, and...

Just added pictures, sorry forgot to add them yesterday! More pics available if interested.

For sale is a Chord Hugo 2 Headphone Amp and DAC combination all-in-one unit. Outstanding sound in such a small device. I use it exclusively in desktop mode so batteries are in excellent condition. My last testing revealed 6-7 hours of battery life. Does not come with packaging or instructions...

From a battery usage perspective, my RU6 draws about 15% of my iphone 13 pro per hour. Thankfully, the 13 pro has pretty good longevity so I find I can do 2-3 hour listening sessions and not have too much battery anxiety. From a power draw perspective, because iOS limits the amount of power out...

As an aside, I also have now faced the dreaded EMI issue with my iPhone 13 pro, with both Penon Lightning and the OEAudio OTG cable. It only happens when I turn off wifi and play Tidal Masters using 4G LTE. When I am playing off of wifi, I don't hear any EMI. My internet went down yesterday and...

So my OEAUDIO Lightning to USB C OTG cable arrived yesterday! And..... I can confirm that the clipping is definitely an iPhone power draw issue. Sigh. For my testing, I used my iPhone 13 pro, Tidal Masters using Wifi, with the MQA track Florence and the Machine - My Love (Edit). OEAudio OTG...

If you are having the same issue with the MacBook output, it may be the cable? AndyKong was saying above, the MacBook usbC output should be adequate to supply the ru6. In my experience, my MacBook can output give huge volumes without any clipping with my RU6 so I suspect it is either my cable...

I suspect this is an issue similar to the one I have been having with the iPhone maximum power output over lightning. I am not 100% sure but I feel like OS uses more power and NOS uses less power. Thus, when I was having clipping issues when playing Tidal Masters using my iPhone, it would always...

Sorry, a follow up question: is that an OEAudio Lightning to USB C OTG cable? (https://oeaudio.shop/products/oeotg-digital-cable?variant=40577134624821 )

I had too much time on my hands and I borrowed a Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter and used the Cayin USB A to USB C adapter, then used the Cayin USB C- USBC cable. I can say the stuttering playback is actually worse using this method sadly. Now I get clipping when using NOS mode, High gain...

Thanks for checking on this for me! I can infer based on your picture... but you are running high gain NOS and 4.4mm output? Do you mind trying with High Gain OS and 4.4mm output?

Thanks so much Andy! I reached out to Cayin support and they said the same thing! Would using the Apple Lightning to USB A adapter help (and adding the Cayin USB A to USB C converter)? I am guessing not if the problem is with the iPhone output itself!

Just purchased a RU6 and am absolutely loving it! Just noticed an odd quirk and was wondering if anyone had a similar experience or if I have a defective unit? I purchased from a dealer so would be able to return it if I needed to. I have noted that when I crank the volume on my RU6, it starts...

Wondering what everyone thinks about synergy of Meze Empyrean with the Focal Arche? Would be using single ended for now as I have the PCUHD copper cable but in 6.3mm. The alternative is Qutest with Singxer-SA1. Thanks in advance!

I just purchased Empy's 3 weeks ago and I had the same feeling regarding comfort! I was getting some TMJ pain and I combed the forums to find if anyone had the same symptoms. Countless reviewers and YT commented that these were the most comfortable headphones ever. Hence, I was comfortable...

Incredible purchasing these BEAUTIFUL Empyrean's from Keith. Headphones were well packaged and exactly as described. Would definitely buy from him again.

Just wanted to post the answer to this question from our post on the Lotoo Paw S1 thread: From the dev: The latest firmware update of the Pixel 4 series contains a kernel bug that will restart your phone when an app tries to play through USB audio using its own driver. This is not exclusive to...

Thanks for this! The dev replied to me as well with the same thing. Sadly, using UAPP in the fashion they describe above doesn't allow any MQA rendering (the Lotoo does't show MQA x4 on the screen). I guess Pixel 4 users will have to wait for a software update! If anyone else is in the same...

Hey everyone! Happy UAPP and Lotoo Paw S1 user but tonight it started crashing on me for some unknown reason. The native Tidal app works but UAPP playing Tidal caused the whole phone to freeze. I uninstalled UAPP and tried to reinstall and now apparently my device (Google Pixel 4a) is no...

Hi there! I've combed through this thread and just wanted to confirm before I buy... the RME ADI-2 FS only uses ASIO in Windows. Consequently, when using the Tidal App in Windows (which uses WASAPI), there will not be automatic bit-rate switching, and the music will not be bit perfect? The only...

Playing with my Node 2i as a streamer right now with a Chord Hugo2. Curious if anyone has tried this, and if so, did you turn the setting "MQA external dac" on or off? Recognizing that if left off, the Node2i will unfold to 96khz and then Hugo2 will get a processed file, and if turned on, Node...

Mine decodes MQA from spdif, LAN, and via wireless connection!

I'm super interested in your listening comparison between the iFi and the TT2! Did you end up keeping both? I have a Hugo2 on the way and planning on some testing.

This happened with my unit too. I removed the wifi antennae and the crackling went away!

Hi iFi, Sorry I misunderstood! I just quoted what was on your iFi diablo mainpage: "It also provides full MQA decoding! Check out our MQA set-up tutorial (using the highly acclaimed NEO) for Tidal, Roon and Audirvana here. And with MQA now available over S/PDIF, you can take advantage of any...
