I heard that "the E7, under High Dynamic tuning, sounds similar to LP6; under Harmonic tuning, it sounds closer to P6 Pro". This was what someone at musicteck told me as i was debating between the e7 or lp6. I was just curious if you had any opinion between the two. I really loved the lp6 sound...

Do you have any comparative impression between the e7 and lp6. I'm aware they're a different dac structure but I've been hearing how the e7 tuning can have them similar in some regards. Thanks

I was doing an a/b between the msb reference and the new rossini apex and clock. I have the ta-2a3 tubes (so far that’s the only tube upgrade) as well and it sounded phenomenal with the rossini apex. The biggest difference was that I seemed to notice more details from classical in particular...

I am waiting for delivery of an MSB select 2 dac. I've just spent the last couple of months trying to decide between that or a DCS stack and for the WA33 and susvara I preferred the MSB although the DCS is also great. Source material is roon.

Does anyone have an opinion on what would be the more worthwhile purchase if you already own a wa33 and susvara headphones: Adding the ahb2 amp so you can experience a SS amp and also using the wa33 as a pre or purchasing the abyss 1266 headphones to use with the wa33 alone?

audio46 had it up for presale a while ago but they pulled the listing due to "extremely high demand and low supply" they pushed back their estimated delivery date to august i believe when we spoke on the phone and then just outright pulled the listing

How are you using the sony 1zm2 through usb or headphone output?

Thank you all for the recommendations before. I was hoping to get your opinions about 2 questions: First, would you spend more money on a dac or amp first in particular for the susvara? And second, would a chrome book be sufficient to send the signal to a dac or should I go for a MacBook or...

Is there a dedicated line out on the m2 in case I wanted to add a c9 amp or something like that?

What would a good chain be to sufficiently experience the susvara? thanks

Hi all, i am interested in possibly getting a pair of susvara and i wanted to know if the new sony wm1zm2 would be a good source if i did a line out to an amp. I'm not concerned with portability for the susvara but i'm unsure if the sony dap would be a good source or would i need to look into...

I'm not sure i'm the best person to answer this but there are settings to enable bit perfect and it does recognize all mqa files. i think i also paid an additonal $2 for mqa compatibility though. I would need to go back and do a more thorough comparison but initially i thought uapp sounded...

Are sound adjustments (dsee ultimate, dsd remaster etc) supposed to affect all apps like tidal and uapp? i'm asking because i was doing an A/B comparison with uapp and the walkman app and noticed that dsd remastering makes a significant change on the walkman app but not uapp. the volume...

How are you guys listening to your IEMs with these new m2, with high gain on or off at this point?

if you register an iem in the headphone app and don't like the sound do you have to disable the entire app in android or is there a way to return to the original sound in the app?

I thought that the old M1 was linux based so no need for root access which is generally a requirement in Adroid to be able to make changes, like CFW, possible.

I just know growing up the general rule of thumb was if you wanted to jailbreak or root anything you don't update firmware. I had given up on that game a while ago but from other threads it seems like the CFW on the original M1 was very beneficial so trying to get root/CFW might be worth it. I...

Are you guys updating your firmware on these units or are we holding out hope that there will be an exploit found in early firmware and we can get root access?

anyone have an opinion about enabling the sony headphones app? I’m cautious to do anything that would mess up the sound of this player.

that made a world of difference. i think the uapp/walkman app still edge out tidal but its much much better thank you

I did not.....would probably explain a lot haha. thanks

After having tested the sony m2 using uapp its night and day better than the tidal app. Soundstage is much more in line with sp2000 if not better. i also tested pulling some files off tidal and playing through walkman app and the sound is very similar to uapp as other have mentioned

Thanks for the rec. On another note i was using the usb audio player pro to listen to the same song just now and it seems that letting it play through that vs the tidal app increases the volume as well as sound stage so i'll test later vs the sp2k. it might just be a placebo effect of higher vol...

Thank you for the advice but unfortunately too many issues with the sp2k so i'm getting a new unit and will likely sell it. at this point i'm trying to find a good pair of headphones to pair with the sony as this will be the primary player. any suggestions?

I was testing on the sp2k. maybe my terminology is wrong. i was listening to alan walker - faded and after the drop around 30 seconds they introduce a type of clicking sound to the music. on the sp2k it just felt like i was in a cocoon surrounded by the music while the sony was still very good i...
