Yes, my unit did the same thing.

Me too. No worries..it may be the soft-start mechanism.

The tick sound could either be the switch turning to the on position like a rocker switch may do, or simply a surge of power running through the circuit board to turn the device on. I wouldn't worry about it. How do you like it so far?

xskugga I feel the bass boos in e11 is much better than c5.

@xskugga I feel the bass boos in e11 is much better than c5.

 
Better as in quality wise, or quantity wise? The E11 is a pretty dark amp so I hear, and the Cayin is a more balanced one with massive amounts of power that just so happens to have bass boost, much like the E12, so that would be why if quantity wise.

Just got the C5 after trying the E11, C421, C&C BK and Digizoid ZO (the new model) and gotta say I like it better than every portable amp I've tried.  Good bass boost - not muddy and with a pair of Ultrasone Performance 840's as my portable setup it is really clean basshead material.  Good synergy together fed by an iPod Touch.

Bassheads!! I'm a bit underwhelmed with the Fidelios, what other open-basshead cans would you recommend?
 
HE-400, HD650, SR325, DT990?

Definitely recommend the HE-400.  Fed from a vintage amp they thump really nicely.

I would scratch the HD650 and SR325 off that list pretty quickly!

Pretty much all orthos are good. The he 400s and dt990s are in the list so definitely recommended. I have T90s which are not basshead out of the box but are capable of heavy bass with EQ and an amp, so I would recommend those if you are fine with EQing and want something that reproduces exactly what is put into them. I would say either or this or T90s/T1s are your choices for open cans with good bass. There aren't many with good bass, but there are a few gems out there.

I've been looking to upgrade a long time from M-Audio Q40 but it seems I cannot find a good candidate to switch to that satisfies all my needs. It can't possibly be the case a $120 headphone is my personal "holy grail"? It certainly has proven me it "works" well for me sound-wise since I keep mastering on a hobby-level with probably over 500 or so masterings in total now.

I often keep adjusting professionally mastered tracks a little bit and people generally think I can keep up mastering quality-wise with those 10 grand or whatever acuostically treated studios with Genelec speakers.

But I keep wanting to get some new "toy" experience but if it's not as satisfying as I already have I don't see any point.

What exactly are you looking for? I had them and liked them, but have since found better for my personal tastes.
