Hi to all. what does the min phase filter option do? When I follow the above sequence of pressing keys, I don't get the last option "5. Select Min" but instead a "flying" something goes across the screen from left to right. Repeating the sequence the same bird(?) goes from right to left...

It is not clear from your description whether you do the following: You need to plug into mains your Gryphon AFTER you have switched it on! Quoting from their site's FAQ section "Charge to ~70% only by turning on the device first before plugging in power."

Hi to all. I recently got Gryphon. I am a bit surprised by the fact that the balanced output (front) is ONLY marginally louder than the single ended one. I did measure the SPL via an SPL meter - not very scientific but fairly indicative I guess. In order to achieve around 80db SPL in single...

Hi to all and Merry Christmas!!! I have read @Powermankw 's message above and the thing that resonated with me the most was "I get reference bookshelf, take over downstairs, treat the room... Utopia. Most amazing audio I have ever heard. Utopias don't even get me half way there". I coming from...

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for replacement cables (balanced) for my Focal Clear OG. The supplier needs to be in Europe. Any thoughts?

Mine was just cancelled too!

Apparently they do. The Clear OGs I found them from another supplier in Spain - Barcelona, appointed distributor by Focal. That one provided a 3 year warranty too

I understand this too. But they are sold as new so I assume the packaging will be the original (i.e. with spare pads). Also I send a message to Büchertisch to confirm the warranty - if all ok I don't mind them being a bookstore.

I think this is a great opportunity. Focal Clear professional for 700 Euros (I bought them!!!). https://amzn.eu/d/7rIO76T

Regarding the cable, do you see any advantage in using balanced vs. single ended (I am talking about the specific combination of gryphon with Clear).?

Much appreciated advice! Thank you

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, I have to look for something available in Europe (postage costs for Ninja doubles their cost...). Also, please tell me about the combination of Clear Mg and Gryphon - do they complement each other well?

Thank you all for the replies and suggestions. I would like to give some more insight to my situation. I am a long standing "audiophile" and as such I have a full-blown high-end speaker system. However, due to personal circumstances and life, I find myself less and less devoting time in front of...

good point. however I cannot check it... it is from an online store. Given the fact though that they are appointed distributors of Focal I would assume it is OK.

Thank you!!! I will pair them with ifi xdsd gryphon - do you see or know of any problems in that combination?

I need your advice... I found the Clear at what I consider an attractive price of 800 euros (brand new). Would you consider this potential purchase to be a good one, taking into account other similar type of headphones, the fact that they are discontinued etc.? As I am 65+ old I am not...

As the title says I am split between the two options - IEM or full-size headphones. Most of my listening is at home, without excluding the possibility of using the earpieces outside. My budget is around the 800 to 1000 Euros. I understand the major pros and cons of either, but my question is the...

Thank you so much! What is your opinion on the combination of Gryphon and IE600 sound wise? On paper they should complement each other well, but do they in reality?

I am seriously tempted to get ifi's xdsd gryphon to pair with the IE600. Does anyone have experience with this combination? I am particularly concerned regarding "hiss" from the balanced output of the ifi, with IEMs which are easy to drive...

Hi to all. I am seriously considering buying Gryphon. Before I hit the button though I would love your opinions on its matching with my Sennheiser IE 600. Does anyone own this combination? would you share your experiences please? Thank you in advance

Contact Earmen directly and ask them to send you (at no cost) the new cables...

I have not experienced what you describe! Sparrow did suffer in the past combined with some phones, from interference. However, that was due to primarily unshielded USB cable. Earmen corrected this, plus they issued a firmware update! Maybe the unit you were trying out, was old(?), faulty(?), or...

Hi Anouk! The Sparrow is an amazing sounding device!!! Highly recommended. Lately... (a few months ago) Earmen have changed the supplied USB cables and now any interference issues are gone!

On their European site product page (https://earmen-eu.com/products/earmen-sparrow) right at the bottom of the page, there is the following disclaimer. Disclaimer Due to the increased radiation of some phone models, as well as using the Sparrow without a GND shield cables, there may be some...
