    thebit Opus#1S DAP impressions

    Quick question. Can the 1S (or any Opus) have both SE and balanced output at the same time? I know the original #1 you had to select output but don't have to do that on the 1S?

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Looking for one as well, but as a holdover the micro to c adapter (the cheaper 3.99 one) from monoprice works in otg on my old micro to micro cable (Moon Silver Dragon) to use with Mojo. Tested some generic adapters I got from Amazon and the Samsung one and they did not work in otg on the S8+Mojo.

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

    Hi, I have a set of MAM modules and the left and right modules sit differently inside the tube. The right sticks up a little and the left sits all the way flush so no metal sticks up (so when you look from the side you only see the screw). Does this matter? Is it how it's supposed to be? The...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    What changed in Android software or the usb port that allows detection of data (or does the Mojo send some signal)? Might of missed this on updates to Android. For using data sticks it still is mentioned that OTG cable is required.

    Sennheiser HD800 vs STAX SR-007II

    I love how after the first gen O2s are discontinued, they are now some super musical, uncolored headphone benchmark. What a joke. They are as colored as any headphone since they have a distinct sound signature. They pretty much always sound thick/dark since there is too much low mid richness...

    Stax versus HD800...

    I've taken the HD800's farther than my O2/BGed KGSS system could ever go (which I owned for 2+ years). I don't know where the continuous idea that the O2 has more detail than the HD800 comes from. From my experience the O2 can be very detailed in certain freq ranges (mid bass down) but I...

    Shure Refused Warranty On My E500s

    I believe Shure does not have a importing policy to their warranty right (like say Stax)? Ok so you circumvented local distrubutors to get a cheaper price by importing it. On top of that you bought it from an unathorized dealer. But now you have to send it to Shure Singapore (who really just...

    REVIEW: Sennheiser HD 800

    The HD800s are very flexible in what sound they produce. They probably have the widest range I've experienced in any headphone from the top to bottom of the sound spectrum. Though they do have a signature that it starts with. This flexibility also makes them hard to review. This means that...

    REVIEW: Sennheiser HD 800

    While the treble is in hot contention. I will throw something out that personally I feel one aspect of the mids is a weakness of the HD800. While it does have a full and articulate mid section, it also sounds softer and less dynamic. It does not have the ability to snap and attack like the rest...

    HD800 - Is sibilance an issue with your set-up?

    Simbilance is always an overall system issue to me. Some headphones can accelerate (or hide) the problem more than others, but if the source doesn't have simbilance the chances of it coming out are much slimmer. To me the HD800's are very tunable. With just tube rolling (different classes of...

    Best HD800 Amp

    You do have to realize the overall state of sound of your system. The 800's need a speedy, fast leading edge, somewhat brighter system with a lot of focus (some would consider this effect as a "leaner" system) since the hd800s do have a starting point from where they are voiced. I tend to...

    Sennheiser HD800 vs STAX SR-007II

    The O2s are stats with a distinct sound signature and very forgiving characteristics which make them smooth and very easy to listen to for all kinds of material. However they are hardly what I would call natural sounding or accurate in the sense of sounding "real". Owned an O2 system for over...

    Sennheiser HD800 Appreciation Thread

    Wow after 20 or so hours of breaking in and listening to some audiohpile grade recordings; I have to say they are pretty impresive. One thing that is standing out is the top end. There is so much more depth and tonal variation there than anything I have heard. They can have bite and be bright...
