  How would the Calyx M work with Shure SE846 IEMs?  Would the impedance of the Shure's be too low to cause problems?  How would the V-Moda Crossfade M-100's pair with the M?  How about the Audeze EL-8 closed back?

In general, I've had no problems pairing any of my BA IEMs. I own the Shure SE535 and it works well with the M. The only IEMs, that are a hit or miss, are Dynamics. Some require the M Jack and some don't. The only Planar that I own is the HiFiMAN HE-500. I think the 500 is fairly inefficient but on high gain the M drives it to decent levels, IMO. I don't know how efficient the Audeze EL-8 is but it's also a closed back, so you don't have to compete with ambient noise.  As far as, what IEMs/Headphone pairing suites your taste, is subjective.

Can anyone confirm that a genuine 512 Gigabyte Sandisk SD Card will be compatible with the Calyx M?  How likely would a 1 Terabyte SD Card work?  Just curious.  I know it is not available yet.  I know it has only been announced.  A 512 would work for me for a long time before filling up.  I have less than 400 Gigabytes of music currently.

They're compatible... many people confirmed it. It's known to have slower scanning time when inserting card for the first time. 
I heard they're trying to fix that with firmware update. 
 
SanDisk 512GB works well.

Thanks!  I look forward to getting an M and 512 Gigabyte SD card when I get some extra cash.  Scan time doesn't bother me.  I have ways to manage it.

I can get a Calyx M demo unit with leather case and cable for $700.00 with free shipping.  Is that a good deal for a demo unit if it has a full warranty?

Sonics Electronics (see Sponsor forum) had them for around that recently. Check with them.

I have a 'like new' immaculate Calyx M for sale...$500. Internal memory if full of Hi-Res files. No box or accessories.

Does anyone of you know if I need this strange little adapter if I would listen from the Calyx M with the Oriolus IEMs?
And how do they pair?

I have  the Oriolus (love them) and have used them with the M with no hiss problems.  Alas, somethng is amiss with my M now, and I cannot tell if it is not turning on, or if the screen has died. It looks like it draws more current from the charger when I hold the "on switch" then when I release it. Am waiting to hear back on how to get it fixed.

Hi, thanks for the info. Can you please tell me if I can plug the cable directly into the M or would I need an adapter? I´m sorry to hear your problems with the M. I once had a similar problem and just charged it and then it was fixed again ...
 
Edit: The name of the adapter is "M-jack" as far as I know ... but I don´t know what it does and when/why/for what it is needed

The M Jack is an impedance matching device, which essentially lowers the perceived gain of the device to avoid hiss.  The Oriolus has a standard 3.5mm plug, and the "M" has the appropriate jack.  I really love the Oriolus as did several people who I played them for at RMAF last weekend.
 
They will make a nice pairing.  NB, I am 60 years old and do not have the most sensitive high frequency hearing, but the plugs are most definitely compatible.

Noticed that there is a most updated firmware version 1.02, but for special earlier set with serial number between AE0101~AE0832. Wonder if there is a hardware difference between these sets?

I believe this is update is pretty old now.  It was for M owners within a certain serial number range.  Those serial numbers were having some kind of specific problems.  It has been too long to remember what they were and I don't have time to look for it.

Found the info in the old threads.

Thanks.

Reporting here that using Layla II, the initial start before the 1st song has some hissing noise, but no more hissing after that, even during changes in songs after that.
 
It is really an addictive experience after that.
