I am curious about the closed back they mentioned in a couple of their YouTube videos.

Burden of proof...

I’d take a picture of them, but I can’t get them off my head they’re so comfortable. I went running with them earlier connected to my iPod and I’m currently laying on my pillow with them. This headband is like butter, and the titanium O-rings are genius.

strangely there is no such thing offered or mentioned on their website

It’s only for early adopters by invitation only.

Oh, I forgot to mention the exquisite case that comes in. The wood absolutely matches my Elie Bleu humidor.

@jlbrach is in such disbelief!

I'm on the waiting list. They only had one available.

In addition to Sagra DAC, Chord Qutest looks like a perfect choice for Formula S, its small and good looking, but what about sound? Is it good enough for Formula S? Or should I get Sagra Instead.

The Cipher DAC is crazy good, it's hard not to analyze the liquidy highs and holographic nature of this DAC. It's a step up from the TT2. The HeadTrip 2 and Cipher makes me think I'm using a tube setup.

Hey guys

So I ask this hear as you guys have the same TC, so I need to hear your impressions on my attempt to smooth out tracks without loosing info the best I can and to mellow down treble and upper mid peaks.


I'll upload a section of a track.. About 20 seconds long of a passage with spiky (to me) treble.
This is with no eq applied or any other DSP.

The 2nd track will be same section, but edited by me with a limiter/compressor. To tone down the peaks in treble
The changes allows me to listen with most confort and 0 fatigue now.

But I wonder, if you, individual, take notice of anything else missing from the track... If what I've down destroys other aspects of the track.

If that's OK, I'll upload shortly?
If you have time.

It's soon midnight here but tomorrow I can give it a try.

I'm still wondering why this is happening to you. I am very sensitive to piercing sounds but never had any such issues with the Abyss and this system (HMS/TT2). However, two years ago I had to buy another set of cables for the Sony MDR-Z1Rs because some tracks were almost painful to listen to. (Fortunately, the new cables made those tracks acceptable.)

Its not the system, it's my ears... I have soemthing happening, I think fluid in the middle ear. I got ent appointments coming.. Maybe slight hyperacusis.

But here next post is the edited stuff which totally fixed my issue...

This is not eq, its a slight compressor, but really a limiter of *spikes of DB*
It took 2 hrs to get it to sound this way, but now that I know it's just a few Mins.

My question to you guys is, with the TC, do you find any information missing? I tried my best to only smooth the spikes and bite, but not take any *instrument * away. Let me know what I can do better.

Thanks so much, I appreciate any who takes the time.

Same DB on both, it just seems I can turn up the volume on the edited one, for a funner, fatigue free listen

But how to implenet such software or plug ins with roon? Probably no way.

Anyways.. You guys are probably just enjoying your tracks right now... Eq pain free... I envy you
