We might see more “galvanically” isolated USB DACs soon?

Interesting. Some kind of optoisolation, perhaps. I'd bet Mike and his team will be comparing this to the transformer approach at some point

- OG: LE without glare and with better bass

Did I pass the test?

You have too many IEMs.

I only own the OG. I stole the other 2.

Please post your impressions if you get hold of one.

Agreed, and I paid $1800 for one new years back.

That’s $100 more than an Yggdrasil GS? Hell of a deal.

lmao, tommy the enabler strikes again :P

Break time from studying, @tommytakis? I don't care for the ten percent upgrade. I'll blow it on shoes.

That one post claims HFM checked patents to make sure Sony couldn't sue them so... wow this is blatant.

I'd have loved to see others' expressions when they learned of this. Nearly dislocated my jaw.

Uh oh, you better watch out Monoprice!

Well if Sony does not care about their own product, guess what? If that particular product is good people want more of it: supply and demand kick in. Sony sometimes drops the ball like that. Guess why some people avoid Sony.

Thread created. lol

It has been awhile since I gave the Clear a good listen. I need to have them both on the same system to assess properly. Good experiment for the weekend.

I just picked up a Stellia locally yesterday and via the 3F it is definitely not bass tilted. Presence is there but doesn't bleed into rest of the spectrum. Maybe the 3F controls it. I also apparently have a small head as I use both the Stellia and Utopia on the smallest setting. I haven't tried it on a different amp. Have you received your 3F?

No, not yet :/
I think small heads work better coz the pads don’t get as squished. Pressing on the cups definitely increase the bass and it becomes boomy.

@shotgunshane quickly contacted me after my first attempt. The thread should be up soon :)

Ok, ready to go. Just add text.

“new” should be in quotes. innovation completely lacking IMO

They should at least come up with something new to do in terms of transducers aside from shape them a different way, make them thinner, or change the magnet configuration. All of their profits seem like pure profit - I feel like very little R&D is being done at HFM.

I love how material science directly affects sonics in the world of dynamics. Such variation feels lacking in the planar world.

Thanks for the tip! Read the impressions and seems like this will be a good source for my office.

nice nice. Is the CTH a good amp with the andromeda? I've been looking for an amp, but everything has hissed, with not enough room on the pot.

I use a iematch. I really like the CTH in general. Great tone, good technicalities for work setup.

If you'd ever have the interest in hearing Yggdrasil A2/Af, I'm down the street. Seeing as how you're the guy who got me hooked on Tube Amps in the first place :)

I would sell my Gungnir Multibit/Eitr for $900

I want to see a Liquid Black Hawaii Special Edition w Milos Stats in Monoprice for $500.

Looking forward to seeing how this works out. Imagine a Monoprice or Massdrop Liquid Tungsten (likely to never happen I realise, but still, one can dream...) :)

I wonder if the components are any good. The design is one thing, but Alex actually used quality components in his amps

Lame. That's a big chunk to tie up for a year wait.

That's projection based on current rate. Hopefully it'll get better and go faster soon.

To anyone that reads this later, Schiit does NOT charge you until your upgrade ships. There is an initial authorization on your credit card which is released a few days later.

I'd like to personally thank @Clemmaster for his misinformation costing me months of lost Yggdrasil A2 queue time. ;)

The 8th.
