Okay, thanks. I was so excited I got ice cream to celebrate. When both my Lambda setup and my Compass get here, I'll be in for a serious ride.

I know exactly how you are feeling

ANyone in the Portland oregon area with a compass or any audio GD stuff..? I would love to have a listen.

This might have been covered in this thread earlier, sorry for not wanting to read through 450 pages

Currently I am running my HD600s with computer USB -> MuFi V-DAC -> Graham Slee Novo. Mostly FLACs an mp3@320. Sound is very "Senn-like", awesome bass extension, very detailed and balanced mids and highs are there too. They sound a bit muffled though. Cranking the volume to "my head explodes" -level helps a bit with the muffling, but gives me headache

So the two questions are:

1) would Compass go well with HD600s and help with the muffled sound?
2) has anyone compared Compass to GS Novo and what are the impressions?

if this is covered already, You can also point me the post number or correct thread

It's pretty safe to assume it's mine because the chances of someone buying a Compass with my first name, living in the same country, and buying it around the same time as me is pretty low, but I just want to make sure before I get too excited.

There were once three people from my same country with my name (it's not a common one) listed on the consignment page at a time when it would have made sense for my unit to be heading out- none of them were me. Sorry, it's not you on the consignment page.

You'll get an email when it is.

Just got an email from Cherry that they actually sent my Compass today, so no need to worry.

Look like they got a huge shipment of compass out yesterday

How exactly "sound DIY" realized? What those jumpers do? Commutate different resistors adding to output impedance to vary sound? I'm quite confused by it and can't say i like this function... Care to elaborate?

Also, it's interesting how Compass compare to Meier Cantate..

Quite a few popular headphones, such as Grados and Beyers, people find that the treble is fatiguing and irritating, so the soft settings were added. IIRC connecting the jumpers adds caps into the signal path. It's not my kind of thing either, but it's a lot easier for people in this budget range to do than spend a lot of time and money buying and selling headphones and gear to find satisfaction.

I have my tracking number but it doesn't look like any info has been updated for it yet. Does that sound about right for the rest of the people that got their numbers?

 

[op2003]

Yes. At least EMS is quite slow with updating their live-tracking.

Anybody else enjoying Sun V2 in their Compass? I listen to rock, funk & electronica on Grado SR80, and Sun gets my heart racing the most. It's also great for action films!

There's a decent chance you will have it in hand before anything useful shows up on tracking.

I'm up in the North Seattle area, if you ever get up here. I just have the Compass running off a Dell laptop USB with my Denon D2000's.
