    The bass is addictive. Actually loved the combo with Sony Walkman and the bass is as good as I get from my Fir CIEM

  I see that you have experience with HE6 placing converting 4 screw to 6 screw.
  
  Is this difficult to do. I have the earliest production and can’t swap out earpafs because of the 4 screw EP situation.

    As I recall, you can buy the new pad mounting ring from HFM and just use the 4 screw locations on your current driver and skip the extra two.
    Very easy.

    Not necessarily...but if someone had a set that they were not using I could help them get them off their hands.
    
    Reason why is that I just just blew a pair due to an improper voltage regulator.

    @rott So you can see into the circuit board? I heard that some old D/S versions were open to the boards inside and that were closed up with the MB upgrade. I have never seen it though
    
    Sep 7, 2023
  5. rott
    @Ksorota you're right - my A1 MB does have an internal covering that prevents actually seeing the internals through the vent holes on top.

    I like the idea of the deccware output stage more than a full freya. But unsure what mod is safer for the chips
    
    Mar 7, 2023
  4. Ksorota
    I was wondering if the A2 made it redundant, but never was able to track down that note. I know the A1 was a bit gray sounding and the gumfreya cleared it up. Is the A2 void of any grayness?
    
    Mar 7, 2023

    I am going to go for it and put up an ad for a Gungnir MB to mod for GumFreya, but if anyone already has one already setup, I would also be interested in that! Save me a step!

    The RD-X is what got me back into high end hp after a 6 year hiatus, will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. N I’m on the Auteur Classic loaner too, first ZMF can I’ll get the chance to hear! Supes excited.
    
    Feb 10, 2023

    You are in for a treat with the Auteur. In a way its comparable to the RD-x. The bio drivers sound great and with my setup its pulling out lots of detail while maintaining a smooth effortless vibe. Bit more intimate sounding though.

    I hadnt really been considering pad rolling, but had some ZMF ovals to try out, and they make a sig. difference in the presentation. The stock pads were a bit flat, which may account for the drastic change...But these are certainly a better experience.
    Ill have to get some perf. pads soon

  The Lyr+ is excellent, only way to make it better is to add in a DAC card slot, I would easily trade the relay atten. for this as an AIO.
