I've been enjoying my Caldera lately and today I decided to revisit Atrium after a week. I got reminded why I bought the Atrium in the first place; it sounds so musical (analog-sounding) and easy to enjoy with wide range of genre. This time around I use the Universe Suede Pads and to me it...

I wouldn’t call it a custom order, but the dealer in my country allows customer to order it by type. In this case, the order is resin stabilized caldera with black/white color theme. Really loving how it turns out!

After countless hours lurking in the thread, today I am officially joining the Caldera owners club :smile_phones:. Couldn't be happier with how my Caldera looks! This one is called "Dusk"

Thank you for the info! I did press it when I was updating the firmware. I thought I need to press the button when plugging the USB blaster to the unit. Let this be a lesson for anyone else that is trying to upgrade the firmware Thank you so much for the help, my unit is working properly now...

I did try to reinstall the Amanero USB driver but it still doesn't work. Retried installing the update again but still nothing

I just updated my unit with the new firmware provided from AGD website. After following the guides posted in the thread, I have successfully updated the firmware (according to the message from the Quartus software). After finish updating the firmware, now my unit is not recognized by my...

I've been running my ha-6a exclusively with SE KT88 in the last few months and just recently got NOS GE 6L6GC. It very nicely complements the SE KT88; vocals are more lush and forward, highs are not as extended but it sounds organic, and most importantly it gives more of that "tubey" sound...

Do you have a recommendation for HiFi stand/rack? I'm currently looking for my desk setup as the ha-6a seems to take quite a lot of space and I'm planning to have another amp setup

Nevermind, I forgot to turn on the "Exclusive mode" in Tidal. Now Tidal has exclusive control over di24he and will setthe right format according to the file. Thank you for all the help!

Thanks for the info on burn in! I've installed the Amanero driver provided from the AGD website. I'm using Tidal for my streaming so it has a variety of format (changing from 16/24 bit and 44.1kHz/48kHz). Unlike my dac which will automatically change format according to the file that is being...

I just got my unit today and so far I'm impressed by how it improves the sound in my chain. Most notably the stage becomes wider and now much blacker background. This is based on my first listen, hopefully it will improve even further with more burn in. Btw, does anyone know how to properly...

Great seller! Quick to respond and very friendly. The goods arrived safely and as described. Highly recommend

Which connection are you using between your DDC and DAC? I've been told that I2S is usually the more superior connection, but does better HDMI cable affect the sound? Also, how do you think the Gaia compares to the Red?

I see that you are changing from a Matrix DAC to the R7HE3. Which Matrix DAC did you own? I am currently using a Matrix X-Sabre Pro and curious how it compares to the R7HE3 in terms of sound. It all started a few weeks ago when I was looking for DDC. First the Singxer SU-6 thread, then to...

I agree on the soundstage being nowhere near the HD800 in terms of size of the space (horizontally). I would describe the soundstage of U22 as closer to the listener and perfectly spherical with pinpoint accuracy on the depth. IMHO, U22 is a very revealing headphone that will sound true to your...

Sorry if I miss the information on this thread, but does anyone know the difference between the standard and HE version? Also I notice they just released the new version for 2024

Which dac are you using your DDC with? And also which output are you using from the DDC? I have heard conflicting reviews on how these DDC react to the DAC connected (some say Singxer and Denafrips sound similar, some say the others are better).

Thanks for this input. I've also seen people mentioning that if you are using power filter/conditioner the upgraded LPS will not have that much effect (if any) to the SU-6. I guess the rule of thumb is your power source really matters down the chain. I have yet to dive into the world of fuse...

I've read people's experience that mention LPS does minimal to the sound of SU-6 and others that had the complete opposite experience with LPS quite significantly elevate the sound. I'm trying to figure out how SU-6 with LPS compares to the Hermes because they both might end up costing similar...

Hi I'm thinking of getting myself a DDC and currently torn between Singxer SU-6 and Denafrips Hermes/Gaia. Does anyone have experience comparing between these two? I will probably be using I2S and coax output Also I've been reading that using a good LPS will improve SU6 compared to the standard...

Anyone has experience comparing the Gaia/Iris 12th anniversary edition with Singxer SU6? I’m looking to purchase a DDC and the options come down to either Singxer or Denafrips offering

Do you think denafrips Gaia is better than the SU-6?

I've been wondering how danacable compares to norne. In your experience, how do they compare in sound for the U22? Is your Vykari the pure silver version?

I think they're quite similar in the bass impact/slam department. I notice the U22 is a tad bit more "warm" in the mid bass, but then again both OG and U22 are very technically capable headphone. Both the OG and U22 share similar house sound so if you enjoy the OG sound then you're much more...

I completely agree with you. I use my U22 with Norne Skollvar (hybrid copper/silver) and imho it's a total blissful combo for my sound preference. It still has that detail and clarity, but without ever missing that body. I've tried comparing the U22 with pure silver and pure copper cable, and...
