Anyone know how to get the keyboard track commands to work with the Qobuz app on OSX?
Try this, open System Preferences > Keyboard and -

Hope that works for you.

I don't use the Qobuz Music App on my Mac mini, but when I tried I could never get the multimedia keys to work. Now I just use Roon with Qobuz setup in services. Roon works with the keyboard multimedia keys & an apple remote if you have one.

Does anyone else have the “perfect mid-fi threat” of HD-6xx & HE-5xx? I have both with balanced cable fed by Mjolnir 2 & Gungnir MB, and Pi2AES and I’m very happy.

I do find myself catching occasional upgraditis, and mostly I manage to buy a set of tubes and sell a set of tubes simultaneously for basically a cost wash, and it’s working very nicely for now. I do find myself wondering what $1000 cans could possibly sound like, but without a meet to go to in this crazy time, I just try to stop worrying & wondering.

Mostly loving this set up.

I have 650s but a friend loaned me his 800S for the week (powered by the Mjolnir 2) and I love it. Definitely my next step.

The only reason the HD600 series of cans are considered "mid-fi" is because of the price. There is nothing mid-fi about the sound and many people say they will scale up with better gear.

I knew he was an imposter. Texans grill our steaks. Yes, the reverse-sear followed by searing is still grilling, not bbq.

Also @UntilThen welcome to the audio/bbq/cats/dogs/liquor/sine-wave/hovercraft/Roon-not Roon/MQA is evil/HiRes is bad for you/toobs forum :beerchug:
You forgot, ".../black or silver Schiit/..."

Yes my experience too. I have a HD650 at home (don't use it much) but my friend brought over the HD800S and ZMF Verite Close and I love them with Mjolnir 2. However my fav headphones with MJ2 are He1000se, LCD-3f and LCD-X in that order. My son's Arya sounded great with my MJ2.

Headphones are very personal. There will always be differing views and everyone are entitled to their choices.

All this talk about servers, Roon, NAS, blah blah blah is why I prefer to just spin a cd or vinyl.
...or cassette? :ksc75smile:

The HD600 and HD6XXs both scale very nicely with better gear. Ive got a fulla 3, magni 3, Asgard 2, and Rag 2 to support that scaleability claim.

I prefer the HD600s over the HD6XXs in most cases, but the HD6XXs really sing with Rag 2 and balanced Black Dragon cables. But those cables new, cost as much or more as the HD6XXs.

The Focal Clears are a nice step up from both the 6XXS and the 600s, but its not a whole new world. Glad I got in my Clears for 900, not sure they are worth 1500 as an upgrade vs the 600s and 6XXs
