  Found the issue.
 
Multipoint prevents macs from using AptX.  Any idea if there is a way to turn multipoint off on the BTS?

 
Will look into it, thanks!

Consider the N4/4c, Savant, or K10

My pick would be the Savant, to match your audio preference

Is the Savant eventually going to be offered as a non-prestige custom? And how many drivers is the Savant, I don't see that listed in the description?

Currently the savant is only offered in the prestige and universal format , at this point in time there is no plan to offer it in a standard ciem format. The number of drivers has not been disclosed, but the sound quality has. There are currently three reviews covering the savant posted by head fi members, and a review by c net as well

  He'll give you a good price on something he didn't pay for.  How generous.

 
really?!
 
i guess your right... because it was 'free' means it doesn't really have any value coming from me; just that it was suggested on here i should consider it valuable enough to sell if i didn't need it when I mentioned wishing i had waited a week longer before ordering to get the 15% off..

How good would my Oppo HA-2 DAC Amp work for Noble K10 CIEMs? It has a low gain switch.

I was told there's a slightly audible hiss, nothing terrible but noticeable when music isn't playing. You might want to get that confirmed, I'm going off memory.

Hey guys I'm interested in either the Savant or the K10's but need some help with my direction. How does it compare to say the Layla's? I now have the Roxannes but I think the Layla's are the best I heard so far (no I did not hear the Savant or the K10) so the Savant interest me as it seems similar......-ish to me

I want to buy the Noble 6 or K10 (universal version) but I am undecided about the sound signature.
Anyone can tell me with a few words what can I expect about both?

Thanks!

I have the K10c. FWIW I would say that it has a big sound. Powerful. Lots of detail. Very nice to listen to but not accurate. IMHO. HTH.

If accuracy is the goal and the choice is either the n6 or k10, the k10 would be the better choice

Graphically flat, the N4

Subjectively balanced the Savant.

When reading about the Savant, it's often described as very clean, balanced, and detailed. The descriptions of the savant seem to remind me of the HD800. Has anyone had the chance to listen to both and compare?

 

[vhsownsbeta]

I like a nice clean neutral/natural sound.  If it's in the recording, I want hear it but I don't want a lot (really any) coloring of the sound or added effects.  I like to feel like I'm in the studio.

N4 is astounding in this regard (maybe only lacking a little in soundstage). It seems susceptible to 'brain burn in' though, but in a reverse sense. If you listen to it exclusively it sounds measured and very natural. If you listen to it next to monitors with more low end it can sound anaemic (only because the other monitors are unnatural...)

K10 everything is lifted, but it sounds amazing. Immersive. Goosebumps. By far the most impressive monitor I have heard.

Savant? I can let you know this afternoon

I am hoping it is halfway between the two...

I have a Savant, K10 and 4C.  I would say the 4C is closer to the HD800 than the other two, just without the massive soundstage.

We have a collector!

 

[kalrykh]

It's your fault really. I don't have the ear or vocabulary to articulate the nuances of each, but I know what I like, and after taking the first leap with the 4c, my ears were quite happy and begging for more.
