I've gone on a bit of a headphone buying bender this past month, so I can also bring the following portable items: Dan Clark E3 (though I know eruilluvitar is also bringing one) Audio Technica WP900 Audio Technica WB LTD Sony MDR-Z1R Oriolus Traillii (if someone can let me know what kind of...

Great IEM, great seller. Thank you!

Can anyone comment on the flexibility of the Master vs Grand lines of cables? I'm looking for something suitable for portable use and I'm worried that the Grand might be too heavy and stiff for that purpose.

The connector type at the headphone is Audio Technica's A2DC connector. Yes, it's harder to find than most other connectors, but there are some companies that offer this. I think Moon Audio has some spare connectors you can buy if you're into DIY.

Well, the WB-LTD arrived today. I'm in the process of trying it out on my Walkman, but here are a few pictures from the unboxing. First impressions are positive. They're very light and comfortable and the music sounds involving through these headphones. However, one aggravation is that AT still...

Well, I can set Roon to output it as DSD, and when I do, the Weiss shows it as DSD64. If I pause the playback, it shows up as 176.4 hHz. I'm not clear on the technical aspects of DSD playback, so you could be right. With the MBL, Roon won't let it go above 96 kHz and doesn't offer DSD as an...

I did another experiment yesterday in my main system. I hooked up my 501-4ch along with my XLR switch so I could go back and forth between it and my MBL 1611F DAC that has served me for the past 15 years or so. I tried to volume match the two, which required setting the 501 output to -6.0 dB...

The WB2022 is not right for me as I don't like using Bluetooth and am skittish about having a DAC/amp within the headphones that you can't bypass. I love the appearance of it (which is carried over to the WB LTD) and the technology seems super cool. There are a couple other components of the...

Sony Walkman was in perfect shape. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the thorough review! I have mine arriving on Monday (hopefully: it's already been delayed once). I'm a sucker for wood headphones and was looking for a new portable option.

I'm looking to buy a pair of Audio Technica WP900 in excellent condition, complete in box. If you're interested in selling a pair, let me know and we'll see if we can work something out. Thank you.

The DAC501 and 502 have single-ended headphone outs in the front. The Helios has no native headphone output, but you can attach an adapter to the back to connect headphones.

Dan Clark E3 headphones shipped quickly and were in fabulous condition. Thank you!

Does anyone know if there is an internal voltage switch on the HA200? It looks like the EU models are far more plentiful and cheaper than the US models.

I moved back to the Denver area a couple years ago only to find that RMAF no longer exists. I'd love to come to this though. If anyone's interested, I could bring any of the following: Dynamic amp: Audio Technica AT-HA5050H Dynamic headphones: Audio Technica L5000, L3000, W3000ANV, AWKG...

The Helios does have a more substantial build than the lower cost offerings. Its exterior uses a much sturdier solid aluminum construction with a finish that's indicative of its price tier. The connectors on all the Weiss products are top-notch.

The Japanese Audio Technica site has it listed at 286,000 yen including tax. Targeted for release April 26. https://www.audio-technica.co.jp/product/ATH-WB_LTD

I thought the WB-2022 could be used as a wireless or wired headphone. Though maybe the wired option was only through a USB connector.

L3000 headphones shipped quickly and matched description. Thank you!

The Helios does not have a direct headphone jack like the 501 and 502 do. There is an attachment you can buy from Weiss to convert the balanced output jacks on the Helios to a balanced headphone out: I think it's $495 extra. I personally use the balanced out from the Helios to a Mjolnir Audio...

I tried the DSP a little when I first got my 501, but didn't stick with anything. It was in a headphone setup, so I didn't try the room equalization.

It appears the AWKG is no longer listed for sale on the Audio Technica website. It was up last night, but it couldn't be added to the cart. It's off the Canada and UK Audio Technica sites completely.

Up for sale is my Weiss DAC501 streamer/DAC/digital sound processor/headphone amp. This is the smaller brother of the DAC502, with the same internal electronics (excluding a 4-pin XLR headphone jack) in a half-size form factor. These Swiss-made DACs have seen an enormous amount of praise...

I don't think I did a true ABX test, since that would require setting two references then getting a random input and deciding which reference it matched. This was more like an eye test where you switch lenses and decide which works best for you. I like setting up tests like this because it...

I ended up ordering a Weiss Helios. I got it earlier this week, and I decided that I was going to set up the ultimate blind test of the Weiss DACs this weekend: 1. I ordered a passive XLR switch from Amazon. 3 sets of inputs and 3 sets of outputs. 2. I ordered a few sets of Grimm TPR XLR...
