Ksorota

You try them, any different than regular clear headphones?

The OG pro is no different, bu this one has a full magnesium driver and sounds like it could be more neutral by description. The new version released today, not sure how many people have them in hand...maybe Headphones.com

I just scored an OG Clear from someone dumping before this model came out. Glad I did - they're juuuust neutral enough for my tastes :)

I prefer buying and selling here because it isn’t just about cash, but also the knowledge that gear will end up with folks who will appreciate it. Thank you!

Apple has deprecated the use of KEXTs as of MacOS 10.15.4 and along with it has been making changes to various system APIs. If Tidal used a custom KEXT or a now changed API then you will have to wait for an app update that addresses the change.

Looks like the software hasn’t been optimized for M1 either...

What do you mean?

Comparing the two, trying to decide which to keep... tonality is a bit of a wash, Gungnir is possibly more natural/enjoyable but Qutest is more resolving.

Generally can sort out micro dynamics on both, but it’s easier on the chord DAC.

There's a unique loneliness in having a cool headphone almost nobody else has heard. How's that headband treating you? You should do a comparative review vs some of your other headphones, despite the fact that it's now unobtanium in 2 ways (5LE quite rare, LFF no longer active)

The headband is holding up fine...I retweaked it to be a bit straighter but have also ordered a replacement from HFM (about a month lost in the mail at this point). I also swapped in the DCA Ether 2 pads (perfect match) I am making notes for a comparison but it is making my HE6 jealous.

I just sold my A2 yesterday :(

Open to D/S also. Then I can try out Schiits upgrade program!

A1 would be the preference but not required

Would the GSX-mini pair better with the A1 or A2 Gungnir...I have gone ahead and read too much about this DAC to know which one would pair better?!

So, sounds like there is a deal to be made here... let’s work it out!

I just PMed Mr.Sneis to find out if the headphone is still available. The game is afoot. The plan is in motion.

I love it when a plan comes together. Imma getting a PMx2 <happy dance>. Now to get rid of my PM2. They're a headphone that deserves to be torn apart and modded to make better.

Honestly feel guilty to have snagged these from you for $300...feel like I should have at least paid several hundred more dollars for a headphone that sounds this good...guess I'll post some impressions here when the honeymoon period wears off a bit and I can think about the sound in a bit more of a critical vein

I was happy to pass along the deal that was presented to me a few months ago by @tommytakis . Same rules apply for you, keep it on SBAF or beware an "icey" chill! ;-)

Don't temp me with that garbage... I am tempted by shit like this

I don't expect Jot 2 to be competitive with Freya S as a preamp. After living with Freya S, it would be hard to trade the stepped attenuator for a pot, no matter how good. But if you only have a desktop rig and it would simplify your setup, definitely worth considering. The output switching is a nice bonus too.

Saga+ was a big improvement over my GLMK2, which i preferred over original Jot. The Freya S with more steps and no tube nervosa was another step in the right direction. I gues the better comparison would be Jot 2 vs GLMK2

isn't it a common thing for HE6 owners to use speaker taps? I know some owners did that with their Rag 1 so I'm sure same thing applies w/ Rag 2?

Not really the same, but I like using my HD580 w/ speaker taps off of my Elekit LOL feels more grippy in the bass/macrodyna and better clarity maybe?

Im running Freya/Vidar setup now with HE6, but it does not lend itself to other headphones. I wonder if the Rag 2 can retain some of that speaker magic and control other headphones too!

I don't own Rag 2, but if I recall correctly Jason designed it to deliver full speaker power output to the balanced headphone jack. So you certainly could run the HE6 from the speaker taps, but I'm not sure how much benefit you would see.

Keith, you are most welcome! I am loving the silver Freya S you traded to me! Looks awesome on top of my Gungnir Multibit!

You should still try the JAR650 if u get a chance, I personally like it slightly more than the JAR600. Also please try to keep it within SBAF if you end up listing it in the future, Enjoy! :)

Thanks again and yes...I am going to keep the post open for a JAR650 and change my preference in the loaner tour to 650 as well. I know they are popular around here and will keep it in the rotation if I do sell.

I always miss deals like this. I'm in the market for the JAR600 if you ever thought of letting them go.

The stock cable is so bad though.

Why don't you recommend the detachable cable mod?

The stock cable makes no sense, good cable... way too heavy. At most could be four conductor.

The cascade cable could not be any lighter and are a great match for the headphone!

I’ve heard oddities with other Foo Fighters albums as well. Distortion in channels, guitars flipping sides briefly, really weird mixing mistakes. It was only on Tidal but Yourube version and Google Play music were fine.

I have been noticing a lot of poor recording quality on tidal lately and frankly it is disappointing. I tried youtube, GPM, and Apple music, each service had the same distortion/buzz...just more noticeable in Tidal.

Dammit, that can't be unheard. I have the CD and it's there as well.
