Cool thanks, think I will. I’m thinking of getting a dunu Luna too. I like single dd iems
Nice, great minds think alike lol. I have a Luna too. Even though I use Traillii and Legend X, the Luna has the most ear time due to pleasant laid back tuning. I advise to get IEM match plus if your going to use it with C9.

Thankfully it seems to be just a few units. Mine is a Dignis version too and I've had no issues at all, touch wood.
This is the same for me also. Touch wood obviously 🙄

I just picked up a used R8. Very excited to join the club!

I think I’m going to order one from musictek and a c9 too
No battery issue so far here either (in Dignis case) It is really convenient how easy to put the device into sleep mode and how quick to wake up from it, and how low the battery consumption is in this mode. Years apart from the Kann Cube when it comes to ready for use time.

As far as I saw no more leather suitcase in the new deliveries.

I pulled the trigger and will be joining the club soon. Thanks @gLer for the review, which was very helpful in my decision making process.

Btw, why is there almost nobody in this thread? :)

Yeah, when you know you have the best you don't have to spend 200 pages talking about it. It's one of those things that just works (for most owners). Enjoy it @MatW.
Thanks, looking forward to it. The software recs in your review are especially helpful. And I haven't even watched the YouTube clips yet.

You mentioned that system wide EQ is available right? If I'm keeping the Odin, EQ is a must... I hope it's as easy and effective as it is in Roon.

Yes it is, but it's HiBy's MSEB EQ, so a little different to what you're used to. Still you should find a setting that pleases, and since you can save presets, it should be easy to switch over when you have Odin connected. Also, if you use UAPP (and you really should IMO) you get full PEQ and Crossfeed control.

Going to buy a micro SD card. Any suggestions as to what type to get: Sdxc, A1, A2 etc?

I use a SanDisk 400GB card with my R8 and it works perfectly. Nice and fast and very reliable. I generally stick to the well known brands like SanDisk from a reputable source.
