Ibasso CB13, excellent value and a great cable-I just bought a fiio x7 ii and I'm planning to finally try out balanced cable for my Andromeda...please kind share some good ones

Sounds like a loose BA driver; if you contact CA and explain the defect, you should be able to get it fixed for free since it happened quite early in your time with them. They have a pretty stellar customer support service.It looks like I have problem with my Andromedas I bought new from CA at CanJam NYC18. Today I was listening to Norah Jones’ “Sunrise” and started to feel/hear tiny rattling sound from left channel. It is very barely feasible but I believe it is there. Used three different DAPs and three different cables - still believe that rattling is there especially when using balanced output.
Do you guys know any retailer here in NYC where I can find Andromedas on demo to compare with mine and check if I am right and really have any rattling problem at all.
Or should I contact Campfire Audio right away to let them check my pair? Anyone has experience how long does it take and what the process is?
Just to be clear, did you by any chance slam them or drop them from a height of more than a few feet on solid ground (wood, concrete, etc)? Just trying to clarify if this wasn't something done by the user since they do state in the small manual that such incidents would not be covered by their warranty. Then again, I think they would still help repair your Andros.
Just an off the cuff question. Are you using any EQ? Sometimes that can push the amp too much into imbalance and give you some peaks of distortion. Could be the file if it only does it for Norah? Had some nasty artifacts creep into some files a while ago, poor sources.
iematch.. makes OI 1 or 2.5. The 2.5mm was just released and I’m glad I have that to use to tune the sound.How are people adding resistance to the output of the amp if it's near 0? I'm looking to try out 2,3, and 4 ohms. To me, around 2 -3 ohms seems to be the point that reduces the warmth enough to be at a more leveled warmth with better articulation in the upper mids.
Any details on inner working of this product? Is it just simply changing the resistance only or is it doing something else? Anyway, I can just get some precision resistors, connectors, and just solder them as well. I'm wondering if I can make something like those step potentiometers with resistors in it. ~3 ohms is such a small amount though.iematch.. makes OI 1 or 2.5.

It attenuates the signal so that you can actually run the player at much higher volume. However it does that in a controlled way with 2 different selections for OI. The most important benefit though, is that it will eliminate hiss from the player and give essentially a black noise floor. I purchased it mainly for that reason, now the OI switch is just bonus.Any details on inner working of this product? Is it just simply changing the resistance only or is it doing something else?

I want to be able to step the resistance in increments of 1 ohms from the range of 1 ohms to 5 ohms. Actually, even half ohm increments would be even more precise of course.
