One question: I've seen in a Pawn shop the Beyer DT990 pro at 85€. First of all, is it a good price¿ And the second one, do you think that the Zishan Z1 will be able to drive the DT990¿¿

I just plugged my 990 pros into the Z1 and it sounds remarkably good. The soundstage doesn't seem to collapse at all, and the bass seems reasonably controlled. I think I might keep these things connected to one another for a while... (you may need a 1/4" to 3.5mm plug adapter, depending on the generation of your DT 990).

Thanks for the info¡¡ The last one, do you recommend the 990 pros?? My main genre is rock, and some electronic.

Just got mine today, big hug to @DBaldock9 for introducing me to the Z1.

Updated firmware, I think LED started flashing like, instantly and didn't stop flashing rapidly, unless I have misunderstood it was supposed to stop after 5 seconds?, so I'm not sure I'm running the 0.2 update. Loaded on some songs and now charging and listening, testing out different EQs. So far so good.

Just became aware of the Walnut V2S, if anyone can tell me how they compare, or if it's worth getting one, let me know!

990 has a V shaped sound - I don't mind the bass being a bit full, but the treble can be a bit hot for some on some tracks. If you don't mind that then they're very nice.

OK, maybe i missed something but how do you manage that huge number of EQ options? How do you keep track of where you are and where the eq is off?

I'm gifting a z1 and trying to put together a simple instruction sheet but this is one thing I've missed.

I am trying DSD for the first time. Sound is glitchy... there is a lot of quick skip

Another thing, where are the instructions for the firmware update¿¿ Thanks¡¡

Anyone have a Muses 02 opamp they would like to trade for a Burson V5i? I have a couple of the Burson opamps and would like to try the Muses.

It's always possible that we won't even see a v3. Has the v2 even made them enough money to go that far or it still a niche product? It's possible the changes to v2.2 were done in their mind to make the product better, however, a lot of Headfi members minds, it was a bad idea. So they apparently changed back. They might still be in the development phase and that could last many months for, or not...

Why was v2s a bad idea? Any news on walnut v3?

 

[noknok23]

V2.2 has soldered op amp. It's different from v2s

Why was v2s a bad idea?

my concern as well.

 

[Dark Helmet]

I think he was stating that the soldered opamp was a bad idea as people like to roll opamps to personalize the Walnut to their tastes.

So you can't change it in v2s? Isn't 2.2 same as v2s?

 

[noknok23]

V2.2 soldered. V2s rollable.
It's two different things.
