^ halp me am weeb how to drink my ceegars???

Just give in to the shilling and buy all the alcohol, cigars, and audio gear. Don't be like YMO who only buys one or the other :)

At least I don't have five figures worth of gear in my bedroom . ;)

I wish I had five figures.

I should probably go set mine to backup seven or eight times a day before the update drops...

I was wondering if it was remote playback, too. As the image in the email I got was of a guy driving a car, I guess it’s that, too.

If they want to provide an experience as easy as the rest of Roon, they’d have to provide the equivalent of a TURN server for voice calls, i.e. a relay server that the audio stream travels through as the home core isn’t directly reachable, or some kind of cloud to host the customers’ audio files. I doubt they can provide this without extra cost.

One reason why I feel safe buying high value item from ZMF is support we get. be it lifetime driver support or support of any kind and it makes one feel comfortable that the headphone can be owned for a very long time. I guess those support overhead is also factored in.

More stuff on the horizon: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/zmf-caldera-new-planar-magnetic-from-zmf.964836/page-7#post-17140061

Pick two of these things: cheap, good quality, good customer support. You can't have all three

The future is nothing. I'm glad I have my iPhone 13 since it still supports physical SIMs, but eSIM is the future.

Right now I have 1 esim and one physical sim. Support for 2 or more esim is a welcome change and I'm ok to get away from physical sim.

Older iPhones can also support dual e-sim, I think it was introduced with iOS 15, not exclusive to iPhone 13. Source: Me, using two e-sims on my 12 Pro.

I don't know that there are a ton of options out there, so I'm curious what other folks mention. I'm running the Freya S and I'm quite happy with it in my system. If you don't need gain, it also has passive and buffer modes.

Another vote for Freya S here. I run mine in 1X for conversion and for me it’s close enough to be a wash, but the passive-only kit is as advertised.

Freya S here as well, wait for a used one if new breaks the bank. That's what I did cuz cheap bastard.

Same here, but for something else.

@EagleWings that DDC is very impressive and when something is good we always end up looking for ways to make it even better and that’s what sucked me in.

Synergistic Research? Whoa... here's the sanitizer.

My doubts on those are more "do they still work as a slow blow fuse" and if they are UA listed. I can kind of get a weak link when you have all this high gauge copper coming in and then narrow it down to a small strand before the input transformer. Same weird thing on tweeter fuses and I think some tweeter fuses were small light bulbs.

That's a pretty damn good chain there (even Morpheus, IMO). And yea, HQP is worth it (if you like to tweak). Given how well it's worked with my Pavane, I suspect it'd work well with Morpheus too.

Great setup! I hope the new cheaper build of the DSHA3F becomes a reality. This is the one amp that I still keep an eye out for constantly on the used market. I’ve heard great things about its synergy with the Autuer, and I’ve got two Auteurs!

tweaking HQPlayer after dialing in the rest of my Roon->PI2AES->Holo Spring 3 -> Kenzie Ovation has given me that final boost and i can tweak settings if I want a different seasoning.

@Justin S are you using NAA or USB connection? How well Pi based NAA work? I am planning to use Pi2AES with Pi3B+ running RopieeXL as NAA for Morpheus

Both. I have an Allo DigiOne that I use in my office and Pi2AES in my home system. The Pi2AES is the better sounding. I use Riopiee XL on both. I also go direct USB sometimes - I prefer the NAA. Riopiee does some funky network stuff sometimes. Diet Pi OS NAA is more functionally consistent, but it's not as user friendly. I didn't detect any difference in how they sound.

I find it still to bring value with my Pavane. YMMV.

When i see the price for Spotify premium, I'd rather buy a CD every month

With Spotify Connect any device can function as a remote. So I can start a stream from my phone to CCA or Sonos using Spotify connect, then open Spotify on PC or iPad and control Spotify playing on CCA/Sonos from there.

Works great at the office as public WIFI is a separate network from our workstations. So I can stream Spotify using a CCA but still control the playback from PC.

Airplay drains batteries like crazy to the point of being almost useless.

Ya no one gets customs here. I’m doing well. Was going thru 7Hz thread and saw the comments made.

Lost a parcel to Indian customs because paperwork on my end was incomplete. Had no warning from DHL on my end. Scared of sending anything there now haha.

Figured. All reviews are opinions ultimately, some more informed than others. It's a hobby, not life or death stuff. I get stressed over other discussions on the forum :P

I’m shocked to be treated that way after putting so much energy into this site TBH. Some people here need to grow the fuck up. Now, what, I’m supposed to spend my time organizing the 7hz loaner thread for all of you?

New x series of Grados is putting up a good fight.

LOL.

Working on it!

@pedalhead , where are you?

Why would someone want to buy new Fisher-Price toys right after Christmas?

Maybe they’ve bred a species of spider with 1 million legs to manually process the 1 million taps in the DAC.

@rlow Precisely. The first step to recovery is to admit you have problem. @Merrick If you please, go back and re-read what I wrote in parentheses. This part goes for everyone: Everyone is free to make their own mistakes. But don't ask the rest of us to pretend that you're thinking with your head.

@Claritas The same goes for you, I literally have no idea what complaint you are trying to express.

There is such a thing?

No, just followed it on television. Have been fortunate enough to watch Wimbledon and US open but not French Open

One of my bucket list items is to go to every grand slam. I've been to Roland Garros but haven't been able to make the rest.

I hope we both will be able to tick it off our bucket list soon enough

Just saw this on Reddit. I’m excited about the lossless at no extra charge. hope it’s good!
