Looking at his from 2024 the question is do I get the $250 upgrade for my gumby with shipping costs or just leave it. I don't think for a computer with clean usb it will matter. But I do have excellent audio devices where dirty USB inbound will screw up the rest of the sound on the DAC. My...

Physically they work quite well for my large head. My friend with Sundara's can't wear them for any length of time. They might sound better I don't know. The question is how much will the dekoni pads change the sound? Still kinda angry about stick on pads.

Huh I haven't noticed that. I do want to try leather pads. I love the softness of synthetic leather but I just find them too warm.

This review is great but doesn't indicate which filters you used. Did you go without?

Perfect. Yeah I have an Asgard 3 which Ryan is recommending. Sounds like the Drops and sending them to Ryan is the right way.

I mean the 2 and 3 are not the same right? I should probably email Ryan thought I hate to bother him with too many questions.

I have a line on some Dekoni Blues or the Mass Drop T-0X or whatever for about the same price in the $140 range. What is the difference between the two post conversion? If I do the Dekoni's I really don't want the protein pads. I like the sound and the comfort of these nice pads but the...

Borrowing a friends old Lyr. I guess back when they were still hand soldered. It still sounds sweet accept it has developed a background hum. Not really a standard AC hum but just noise. Friend says it just came on in the last year. Basically only feels like he can listen to super...

This product seems really weirdly spec'd. I will be curious if it is good enough to find a market. It looks cheap and sort of like it is playing in Beyer's space. Doesn't make much sense to me.

I have an original addition Element that I am not using. Came in a package deal and I just don't have a need for it. Cosmetically it is clean and works as expected. I haven't listened to it much so I can't judge that. If you would like a good looking all in one with the big pretty knob this...

Yes man I think you are concerned. I was at Schiit head quarters and realized that it would be cheaper to ship to my house in OR then pay cali sales tax. To complain about Schiit business practices is just troll BS. They are the most up front and clear about costs and production. They...

I use a Qudelix 5K and some times separate out the audio to the my Asgard 3 if I want a silly cable mess. Love that these sound good on most things but great on the Asgard.

I assume you saw Zeos's beyerdynamic pad swapping epic at this point? Either way the dekoni's are nice. Both the protein leather and the hybrid sound great to me. I switch between the two.

There are now TRRRS 3.5 parts for sale so it is possible. Hart audio said they would consider it for me especially if I would sent them the stock cable to be used for parts. This is truely a thing. I love my MMX's but the cable is horrid.

Accept they don't go on sale for $400/380. :). At least not yet.

Well I just tested with a Qudelix 5K plugged into the laptop compared to my Schiit Asgard 3 with unison usb dac. So $450 vs $115. Clearly noisier on the 5K volume was similar. I feel like the was a some drop in low end but it is hard to say the chain is so different. Certainly the Asgard is...

My Aeon open X on the can are AOXE283 received from Drop in Dec.

Haven't bothered with my q5 or es100 as I don't have balanced cables yet.

Yeah I wish I had an apples to apples comparison. I have tried them on low quality on board power like latest Intel chipsets. And it wasn't horrible. Was different but not bad.

Hard to say there was a thread with a reference to Dan saying they had been tested on some of the larger usb dac amps with good results like the btr5. Lots of other threads saying they need proper voltage.

I don't quite get the headfi threading scheme so I don't know if this is the right place to add this. What are people's thoughts on how to explore the tuning inserts? I have had mine for almost a month now and generally love them. Driving them with an Asgard 3. I believe I am past the burn...

Never mind I found it on a Qudelix forum. Psychic'd to get this... If anyone has exp with Linux of note that would be good to hear about still.

So I am a Linux and Android user and would like to consider this as a side grade to my ES100. I am wonder with the USB connection does it present the mic input to the host? Or does that only work on bluetooth? Anyone using it for a mini dac with another amp?
