Yeah, I bought up the same thing a few pages back in Post #651 of 700, the guy from FIIO said This is designed in order to avoid the big pop sound during playback starts. We will report to the engineer for assessing whether we could improve about that. Not sure why, none of the other dac's...

I don't currently use a Mac, but did for over a decade and did not run into this issue with either a Oppo Sonica, Audio Quest Dragon Fly Black or a Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital. And more recently I've not had this issue with a Mojo 2 in Windows. I've adjusted the Q15's idle time to 10 minutes...

I've had one for about 3 days now and am quite happy with the sound quality and power. I've found a small issue when having it connected to a Windows 10 pc, when playing back from any source there is no audio for about a second before playback starts. This happens both in the battery operated...

Some have called the Arya's a Planar version of the HD800/s. The Arya has so far done well with every genre I've thrown at them. They're quite versatile with amplification, they've worked well on the Mojo 2, THX 789 and Burson Soloist 3 XP. Pairing the Mojo 2, Burson and Arya creates a...

Other then the form factor the CMA18 is very close in spec to the Fiio Q15, the Q15 is nearly half the price and does have PEQ in its app. Would love to hear a comparison between these when the reviews finally start coming out, and between these and the Mojo 2.

Its already available for purchase in the UK for around £650

I was considering waiting for a Hugo 3, but since Koji from Convince Me Audio compared the Desktop CMA 15 favorably against the Hugo TT 2, the CMA 18 could possibly rival the portable Hugo 2. Has anyone here tried the Hugo 2 to be able to compare them? Thanks.

Hi wazzupi, I've gotten a very good deal on the D8000 Pro, the Limited Edition is outside of the price range that I'm comfortable spending at the moment. I had silver plated custom xlr made for the Ananda, the 3.5mm connectors are a fairly thin profile, they will probably fit the Final. Also...

Hey folks, after reading large parts of this thread and watching every Youtube review on the D8000 Pro, some more then once, I've just pulled the trigger. I'm upgrading from a Hifiman Ananda, the D8K Pro should be with me in about two days. I also considered the Hifiman HE1000SE both appealed...

What a coincidence, I hope you find a suitable alternative.

Hi Jose Hidalgo, you might want to consider a yoga block to separate the Nighthawks left and right ear cups, if you google search headphone yoga block you can see some examples.
