Does Calyx IS actualy support balanced output but they didn't tell us because of something? (maybe firmware related switching like line out/ho out) Hmm...
cooperpwc, I really don't know. I believe it has nothing to do with balanced transmission. I found they said the jack used gives proper pressure without causing accidental damages. Maybe it was cheaper for them to make?
As a Calyx M user, I for one much prefer the sound signature on v0.95 yet unfortunately stuck at v1.0 for the moment. First tried to flash back to 0.95 with no luck but an error msg saying 'less_then_int (1404110422.getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))' during package verification. So I figured that I could just mod the v0.95 build.prop to fool the device into believing this is something new since the M is Android based after all.
So I went in and change the build.prop values to a larger version number than indicated in the actual v1.0 and repacked the zip with a common AutoSign treatment as finishing touch. Again no luck getting through the package verification stage with SD card flashing, it simply aborts from failing verification.
Direct substitution of build.prop within original zip w/o sign re-gen wasn't any good as well.
At this point I give up trying knowing that the amateur I am in XDA stuff probably only scratched the surface. Just want to call out to fellow users to see if anyone has travelled this path before and hopefully shed some light on this topic. At the end of day I'm quite upset about D&A not letting customer choose whatever firmware version he/she might see fit.
^ I believe that it it was 0.97 to 0.95. I was trying to solve a problem where my M was not recognized by my computer for transferring files. (I eventually solved that but it is a long Windows story; all in the past.)
One of the reasons I purchased the AK over the Calyx M was the balanced output... After being severely disappointed with the balanced out (my fault as I had very high expectations), I think the time has come to order the Calyx M. I've wanted one for a while now, but held out. I'm going to sleep on it, but I'm 99.9% I will pull the trigger finally.
On the newer devices, does it come with the impedance plug? Or will I not really need it for my tralucent Ref 1 or Shure Se846? Is there a possibility there might be a US dealer selling it for a black Friday or cyber Monday discount?
I've wanted one for a while, was really waiting for it to become available in the US, but then I purchased an AK240. Will be interesting to see if there is a noticeable difference between them, but I have terrible ears...
