Which would provide the larger stage the new pads or the risers? Just wondering where to start, pads or risers. .

More Space...the depth of the stage changes 😎
The presentation is further away

NOMAX

PS.lol
I hope I get this soon, to test & compare them! 🥰

Do share your thoughts on this pairing.

As soon as my time allows I will write something about it👍

Interested to hear how you like the enleum compared to the mjolnir

There is no way around the Lotoo if you want an all-in-one weapon that is transportable....but it comes at a hefty price 🙈

NOMAX

PS.Yes, I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of the Full Score One because of its lack of features...but have you ever wondered why I even connected the Lotoo to it
......and not to another amp..like the OOR from Ferrum etc etc ?😉
It also took me a while to understand why Paul built/designed the FullSore One the way he did 😎

Full Score one
Had the opportunity to discuss his circuit with Paul for some time. And why he solved some details this way and not differently. Of course he knows many of the DIY circuits circulating on the Internet (diy-audio). Despite long listening sessions, I have not been able to detect any faults in the sound, clear and pure as it should be - a pice wire with gain!
My wishlist is a input selector switch.

I spoke to AA on the phone today....and they assured me that the accessory (pads/spacers/cases) have reached their distribution 👍
(So it should only take a few days)
As I will be visiting the headquarters in Vienna next week on Thursday to make a video with the acoustician/designer (a little look behind the scenes)
I thought I'd ask you guys...
What would you like to know about the Composer? (If you like)
(I'll pick 10 questions that I think make sense and i try to get an answer from AA 😎)

NOMAX

PS. And after that.... I'll go to our headphone store in Vienna and buy my accessories there
And if they're not there....then I'll be really really angry😈....I told them that on the phone😤
(Then there will be a whip :deadhorse: from me)

It would be very interesting to film the actual process of assembling the headphones. To show how they look inside, what the speaker itself looks like, how they assemble it, how they make the headphone frame or headband.

All this should be mixed with a short interview. I would ask AA representatives about the challenges they faced during development, why they decided to choose banana plugs specifically. There must be some interesting things to tell us.

I would like to add that in the future I would like to have the option to order directly from AA their proprietary copper connectors with tellurium addition. To use them with my own cable. Just like the connectors from OE Audio or Aeco - they provide the best sound quality.

THX Nomax.

With the Banana Plug I can already tell you why they have chose this.....as we know, AA is more active on the Pro side...one thing is very important there...reliability....the 3.5 mm jack, for example, is not really reliable here 😎 (Contact surface is not very good 👎)

(Let's see if AA gives us a little peek into the production facility next week👍)

Don't worry... I've already told them they have to be in front of my Ipad Pro...It's going to be fun 😂

NOMAX

PS.Thinking ahead....avoid foreseeable problems in the first place 😉

(I have to say goodbye for today....I still have to test another model that will be on the market in the near time future.... I'm also giving my ears to other manufacturers in advance)

Will there be wireless BT modules for the Composer in the future? They have the tech and knowledge (Hi-X25BT).

Quick sketch but you get the idea:

What’s the consensus among those of you that have tried full score one? Is it a good amp in general?

Let's consider the best (according to their own criteria) headphones they could do if budget wasn't an object.
What would differentiate it from the Composer ?
What would be its estimated price range ? (optional)
What do they think the next conquest in the headphones world should be ? (optional)

I've tried various amps...but on the Full Score One the Composer just sounds different👍...I can hardly describe it why?

https://austrian.audio/download/beh..._one_2404/?attachment_id=8357&download_file=1


I'll ask Paul the tech designer if it's possible to give us information about the actual power on the homepage, how much power the amp can actually do....
.....even I don't know that 🤷🏼‍♂️ (But I think he can do a lot 😉)
The only thing that bothers me is that this amp has so few features for this price 👎( no pentaconn....no remote etc etc)
(Yes, I also say when I don't like something 😈)

NOMAX

PS.....its never to late for a Full Score One 😜

Hi guys, I have a question please. Since I can't demo the composer, I've been reading reviews and comments from the different owners along with looking at some of the frequency responses graphs.

Would the composer work with genres such as rock, pop, metal, symphonic metal and such or would it be thin/ethereal sounding? From what I gathered, whomever liked the DCA headphones (Stealth, Noire X, etc) also liked the composer, but I'm looking for something different and if the composer is close to those in note weight and music presentation then I might look or wait for something else.

AA had the driver on display at High End in Munich last year, where I took these photos:

Speaking of photos, I also received my case today:

I think they are excellent for rock and for the genres I listen to they are excellent all -arounders imo. Two headphones out of many I've purchased will never be sold, my Susvara and my Composer.
