FWIW, I tried a Jitterbug between my Shinrico D3S digital transport and its external HDD (WD 5TB) yesterday. It ruined the sound, collapsing the soundstage! Without, everything was fine again!

Nice headphone. Radiante Torino. First time I see this brand in Head Fi. How you like the sound ?

Not that I do own one… but there even are reviews here

Definitely, it’s all a joke. But nope, it works without any hiccups.

It’s just the galvanic and purifier that’s attached and obviously the cables needed to connect em.

Have you heard the Micro with the purifier and galvanic? It’s way different than just the BL solo.

Not, didn't demo the Micro BL.
But i'd give the advice to take a good active usb-hub or external usb docking station instead of all this dongle and cable nirvana.
This will fix the noise coming from your notebook very effective, ime.
Next step up will be a lil proper amp.
But this isn't the right place for recommentations, i guess.

Happy listening.
Chris

Double post, sorry.

When I had the Anandas (same cup style) I think I used maybe one or two clicks of extension and I have a lot of hair. I agree that the design is super comfortable, but I feel like one would need an Badu-esque headwrap to need that much extension

Spoiler: The headwrap

I have Badu-esque headwraps--different ones for every day of the week.

My favorite is the "Carmen Miranda" model with bananas & pineapple on top.

Listening to the HEX v2 without the wrap would be impossible...

That’s the regular Walkman side connector for the TA. They are pricey from Sony. These work for many, and cost less. You can hook a mini-usb to connect to the side of the TA. The one extra plug is simply for stability I think? But I’ve used this cable to connect to the side of the TA, and also to the back with a regular USB cable.

There are these types too. They can come with two different USB plug sizes (if I remember right?), though I’ve never used them.

That’s not always the price of that second one listed. Also it was just mentioned that all is does is charge maybe. This above is the one to get.

Edit: You are right, second one listed is expensive!
They are expensive everywhere?

Apparently that adapter is out of production. So it is pretty much seller's market, as it seem a lot of people think taking a spare Walkman cable is too much trouble.
The good sign is the latest player (ZX500 series) gone to a standard USB C connection, so hopefully WM-PORT will be slowly faded out.

Sorry, my mistake. After some further research, apparently it can be used for connection to PC for data transfer as well. Still not sure whether it can connect to a DAC though. I guess you probably can, but might need a bunch of OTG cables or something like that.

Lots of us have the Sony-WMC-NWH10.

I’m not sure of the use needed for the NWM-10?

Next?
Sell that mess and get a simple amplifier (perhaps with an onboard dac).
Damn...just looking at that makes my head spin!

Beg to differ (mildly). There is a certain satisfaction in configurations like this especially when you close your eyes and are enveloped in music.

 

[LoryWiv]

Lol. I’m not joking.
Lurking on these forums actually makes my head spin as a total noob stepping into this game.


I tried out the attachments before buying them and it made my Micro BL sound way better.

Im looking into getting a proper set up in time but I’m still researching.

Thanks!

Having used some of these same iFi components I can attest that the results can be excellent. And of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder...I for one appreciate the steampunk elegance of your setup. Suggest you enjoy it for a while before allowing upgraditis (or peer pressure) to set in. The audiophile journey is a marathon, not a sprint, unless your last name is Gates or Bezos.

Those tubes deserve such a great way to be seen...

I also made a little tube display during some time off thanks to COVID. Need to make the stand look a little nicer, but I'm happy with it so far.

This surely seems to be a happy palace ...

Put the (almost) final touches on my happy place (sounds better than "man cave", doesn't it?). Just waiting for delivery of a Butcher Block Acoustics platform for the TT, and a couple new Hart cables. I recently added the Panamax for safety, and a Chord Huei phono stage. That and dressed the room up a bit with some artsy stuff and greenery.
