I am using 2 sonic imagery 994enh on IV stage and 1 burson v5 on buffer, very impressive, you can start with IVs, I strongly recommend sonic imagery opamps

this is my original ie8 with silver cables (thus cable plugs are not original)   original cable plugs have tiny orange and red wires in it. can be only seen under sunlight :)   compare it by yourself

my volume is always 20%, it happens independent from volume control I think.

everybody getting this problem? My asus card is heavily modified, (with external masterclock and opamp+capacitor change etc.) so I thought I was the only one with this problem in the world...     it is very scary that I usually watch netflix at night through my speakers and amplifiers. it is...

One last comment: music is now less fatiguating compared to stock op amps. Actually stock opamps are terrible after hearing NE5532s IMHO.

Hi guys I replaced all of my stock op amps with NE5532s. And applied rjm003's capacitor upgrade in the IV stage. These NE5532s are very cheap op amps but the result is not very cheap. Actually I now understand how important the op amps in this card. Sound is improved in every way. Bass become...

Hi I will buy NE5532AP for both IV and buffer stages, but I also want to order AD8620 for IV stage and LME49710HA matal can opamps. Which model should I buy there are more than 10 results when search on the MOUSER for instance "AD8620" ? can anybody help to find exact part? Thanks

I have had also the fake one. And sell them (as fake). They both looks very very similar but when you touch the original one the cable feels quality soft. The original one also have softer silicone ear plugs.

And the other photo without flash.

This is the original one i have.compare it.

Hi everybody I have the STX card for the long time (over 2 years) with stock op amps and upgraded master clock. I want to upgrade the op amps. I am after lush, warm and smooth midrange with a little bit rolled of trebles(without completely losing them). I also dont need extra powerfull bass...

since I am using jriver media player, I leave the sound card volume 100% and in the jriver options I set the volume option to "internal volume" which is 64bit volume control, so I am using jriver volume mostly and I leave the sound card volume 100%

I think limitation is because of micro USB port capabilities, but if this is true, all other portable DACs will be 16bit/44.1kHz with android.

  I also started to look elsewhere because of I learned that digital audio will be degraded to 16 bit / 44.1 khz on android devices over usb... but for IOS it is 24 bit / 48kHz    

Can I send the audio over NFC ? or if I send digital audio data over Bluetooth, will SQ degraded?   I am planning to use E5 with my samsung s4 and sennheiser IE8   Do you offer another DAC AMP comparable to E5?   Where can I pre order this DAC/Amp?   Too much questions sorry     I am...

using the discrete master clock a few cm away from stock crystal is not a new thing, old cd players can also be upgraded with new master clock and there are lots of examples of them on the web, some discrete master clock designs have SMA jacks and a few cm of RG316 wire...

yes I mean those, they really improved the quality. I am using DIY tube preamp with bang olufsen power amp and ELAC 108.2 stereo speakers, and sennheiser hd600 as phones. I can definetely tell you these drivers improved the sound quality through my system. I think low DPC latency of this driver...

Hİ guys   Sorry I am sorry to disturb you, but if anybody out there still using stock drivers, delete them and go for the Unified drivers.    I was using official drivers until now but today I give the unified drivers a try and with the first song in the spotify(through fidelify) I must say...

yes, thank you moriez for being so honest about this stuation, and I will be very happy if I get positive result after investigation from Senn Turkey

hi moriez can you listen these ie8s  to compare the sound with reviews...

no I did not listen to them, but according to head-fi, the bass is very strong, trebles are crisp, and very good soundstage.   actually I am looking for an iem sounds like an HD600, based on the reviews I felt like ie8s can sound like hd600

hi moriez so where did you get these? what is the story behind these? :)   actually I can see a very small piece of red wire in the cable is it true? can you look closer

hi moriez   can you take picture of your iems just like in this picture      lying down on a flat surface, including the left iem,   and also nozzle mesh pictures can be good

yes anyone who experienced fake and real deal ie8s, we need your help

Hi friends   I have won the bidding on this IE8s : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sennheiser-IE8-/141402471403?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=q1Ah4XHFe7KhSrzpik1ifNKeXJc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc   What do you think? Are these real deal? I will send payment if...
