What's in the box!

I think the overall chain is amazing. It’s quite a big step change from RME–>Taurus, going from clinical to euphonic I suppose.

Jury is still out on the Chord, at the very least I can’t hear anything wrong with it which is a good start. Still playing around with the filters and haven’t touched the crossfeed.

It has one of the best implementations of cross-feed filters I’ve come across :slight_smile:

Hmmmm, guessing with that note it’s not good to use SE balanced on a not balanced connection?

No, it’s not SE vs balanced. The note is telling us not to plug in a cable with a TRRS connector, which is used for headsets with microphones. Most headphones use the TRS connector, which they’re saying is fine. You can tell the difference by counting the rings on the connectors.

Many devices are not compatible with TRRS – I had to buy at TRRS to TRS adapter for some uses. The 3.5mm jack evolved into serving too many functions, even video. I’m guessing this contributed to phone maker 3.5mm avoidance (e.g., Apple).

Me too! I have a HE6se and would love to know how this drives similar headphones.

Looks great. Mine is en route being shipped. Should be here around XMAS. I think there were four new ones and a couple of B Stocks.

Beautiful wood there.

I got myself an xmas present…

I’m exercising every bit of self control I have to not actually use it until xmas, so I passed some of the time by giving it an extra-special, stop-motion unboxing treatment…
