Hi everyone! Got myself the R4 today. Loving the sound and performance of this DAP. I am wondering if anyone has faced a similar issue to me. When i use my Monarch Mk2 with the stock cable 4.4 balanced, there is intermittent cutting and audio popping in the left channel with even the...

Hi guys! I’m loving my Bathys a lot, and have tried using MiMi. Quick question, does it override the EQ? I currently have my EQ set at dynamic. Should i leave my EQ to flat when i run it with MiMi?

Thank you so much for the input everyone, i got myself a pair of Focal Bathys yesterday. I managed to demo it alongside the 5909, XM5, and PX8. In terms of sound, i prefer Bathys' offering. With ANC, its not that far off compared to XM5. As for the thudding sound during walking, i'm pleased to...

Hi everyone. I’m thinking of getting a pair of Focal Bathys, and would like to know if they’re useable with glasses on, and also, is the anc affected while walking / commuting. I had a pair of Master Dynamic MW65 and walking with those did something weird with the ANC.

Was thinking of getting these, until i got to try them. Build quality is amazing! Love the soundstage on these, much more than my solaris 2020. Low end is lacking definition, sounds light for my preference. Mids are okay, not a fan of the timbre. Highs are pretty bright, sounds metallic to me.

Hi there, I have been using the Monarch mk2 with the iBasso DX300 for some time now. I am looking to get something more portable for listening on the go. I am deciding between the Questyle M15 and the iFi Hip Dac 2. Which would be a better option ?

Oh i had this happen to me. Something to do with the files being read only. Need to make sure they aren’t read only on Windows. After i made sure it wasn’t read only i could install the image files provided.

Just curious, are you using google play store or apk pure on yr Dx300 ?

Anyone with Dx300 + Android 11 running into battery issues after factory reset? I’m wondering if i should just go back to the previous android version. Just updated to android 11 on my dx300 and the battery life is horrible. Unit heats up and both analog and digital battery is draining without...

I’ve tried some tips on the monarch mk2. The W1 ended up being hit and miss for me. It fits well, has a good seal but at times it just doesn’t seal at all. I think it’s my ear canal + w1 rotating weirdly in my ear. Tried the Sedna earfit crystals, these were the most comfortable. Fit and seal...

Just got myself a set of W1 spinfit tips as well, they work so well with the Monarch Mk2! On the stock tips i had to use Small for left side and Medium for right side. It would fit snugly but over time (30 minutes onwards) it sort of feels like it’s coming off. After using the W1 i can just...

Are you running Qobuz on Android? I found the download speeds horrible after version 6 came out. I'm running on a version 5.20.0.1 apk and the downloads are way faster. Give that a try if you're on android.

I’m still thinking about sending them back, but i am afraid of the shipping costs and time needed to sort everything out. I did get them through a local dealer, i’ll contact them to see what can be done.

Ah okay. The reason i’m asking is because something weird is happening to my Monarch Mk2. Is it possible to reattach on my own ?

Would this void the warranty on the Monarch Mk2 ?

I have a Solaris 2020, currently thinking about getting the Monarch Mk2. Is it an upgrade? Or shld i skip it.

Thinking of getting a pair of these myself. How would they compare to Solaris 2020? Currently using Solaris 2020 with the iBasso DX300.

Version 6.0.0.4 is out now! Is this the fix they mentioned ?

You can check in battery to see which app is specifically draining battery

Anyone updated their Qobuz app to version 6.0.0.2 for android ? App has been running well up to this point, where after update, app could barely launch. When i did get it to launch, i was logged out, and all my offline imports disappeared. After reinstalling, got the app to work, but this...

Wow wow, Another new solaris, in collaboration with Astell & Kern. It seems that this one has 2BA and 1DD. Specs: Transducer Type: Specially Customed New Single BA Driver + T.A.E.C [High], Single Updated Custom BA Driver [Mid], Specially Tuned 10mm Dynamic Driver [Mid + Low] Frequency...

Thank you for the suggestion, i’ve not seen a PW audio cable before, but i think they’d be similar material for the preformed earhooks. Will give that a try when i get my hands on a hairdryer. For now, i have settled on the Symbio Mandarin tips, and for the cable issue, i used a DIY chin slider...

On a side note, i realised that using the stock super litz cable with the preformed hook has a tendency to sometimes dislodge the earphones. When i switched to the stock cables for Comet, it felt more comfortable due to the absence of the preformed hook. The hooks on the stock Solaris cable...

Hello everyone! Time for an update. I visited my local dealer here, and we tried various tips. The two i liked most is the Xelastec ML and Audiosense Small. It appears that i've got weird ear canal on the right, and there is a specific method i need to use to insert earphones on the right...

Solaris is a whole other beast indeed, when compared to the SE 846. I was using the 846 for 7 years. Finally found something that i could upgrade to that built on the strengths of the 846. Thank you so much for the detailed input regarding tips, i did not know it would contribute to the...
