    Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions

    I have owned mine for about 10 months. I had trouble finding a good seal trying many of the tips you mentioned. This is the chain I have settled on. A&K SE300 Titan-Double Helix Clone Silver- KR5-Azla SednaEarfit MAX. Just as I found a good seal and the sound I like I will be selling them as...

    Audeze LCD-4

    If I still had my 4 I would certainly give these a try. I had the original Vegan pads on my X and they were so comfortable with no loss of SQ. I had the Dekoni Elite Hybrids on my 4 for a couple of years before I sold it. Much more comfortable than the stock pads.

    When I owned the U12t I used the SR35. It had plenty of power to make the U12t sound really good. It is also a Roon endpoint which was important to me. The price for an A&K is also very friendly. I moved away from the U12t to try other iems but now am coming back. I have an A12t on order...

    Did not realize you wanted more than the amp. DAC/streamer is dCS Rossini + Word Clock.

    Comment by 'pippen99' on listing '64 Audio U12t A++ Condition w/Extras!!!'

    That is a nice package and a good price with all the accessories. I have A12ts on order. If you don't get an immediate sale and would separate modules I would be interested in the MX and M12 modules. Good luck with sale, Chuck

    dCS Bartok

    I do not believe so. One reason I went to Roon was to use EQ without a computer and the attendant noise that comes with using a computer. Of course I use an Intel NUC to run the core but I think that is all different than running a MAC or PC USB(or whatever) directly into the dCS dac.

    Ordered my first CIEM (A12t). Took two trys to get acceptable impressions so a little messy. 64 Audio received my impressions today . Estimated build time is 6 weeks. OUCH :slight_frown:

    MSB DAC owners

    I think the Premier is pushing the outer limits price wise of what I would consider for a headphones system. I am amazed by the variety of aspects the different manufacturers will emphasize in their various products. MSB seems to emphasize modularity. I do not know(though my knowledge of...

    Puritan Audio Laboratories PSM136, PSM156, PSM1512 Power Conditioners

    I went from a Stellar P3 to a PSM 156. The main reason was that my Dac manufacturer(dCS) did not recommend the use of a regenerator but are noncommittal on conditioners. My most used amplifier is a Woo WA33 EE that is a hummer. The P3 brought a blacker background and reduced the hum to a...

    Not for me. If it did I did not notice as I was so happy with the increased comfort.

    Audeze LCD-4

    Dekoni Elite Hybrids. Had them on until I sold them. Much more comfortable than Audeze pads.

    Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview

    I had a MK1 Directstream for years. I loved it for it's musicality and the over the air upgrades. Finally got to the end of it's shelf life after the FPGA could no longer accommodate future upgrades. The MKII is supposed to be a significate upgrade. Because the pandemic the MKii was...

    Audeze LCD-4

    I use the Audeze preset as a convolution filter plus a 3 band PEQ on my LCD-5.

    Audeze LCD-4

    I never EQ’d my LCD-4 in the 5years I owned it. During a Roon free trial I tried the Audeze preset but soon went back as I felt it was not an improvement.

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC

    I also have the CA 1000. I agree it is a great piece. I prefer it to my SE 300. Almost if not all of the problems have been in the US. You will probably be good. The Ultra would not play longer than 5 minutes so not really able to compare. I needed a portable unit or I just would have used...

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC

    Then you have not read the complete thread or have not been playing attention. Many of us(in the US mainly) have experienced disabling Wifi issues with the Ultra. The Ultra will connect but be unable to hold the connection. You then have to exit Wifi and then try to connect again. This was...

    Fir Audio KR5 for sale or trade. Would prefer trade. This is the best IEM I have owned. The bass is amazing with an astonishing high end. Unfortunately the design that results in such wonderful sound does not fit my type of use. I need a more isolating design than the Kinetic Bass design...
