  4. CanJam London 2025 - Anyone Up For It?

    in Meets

    Posted

    Ive attended two of these and to my ears this is the best of the CanJams for listening experience. I was going to go to the show in China but given the current political climate, I think I'll pass this go round. So London is the next best thing for me.

    Much quieter show than LA or NY, not as social though. Great beer trip 15 minutes walk (Bermondsey beer mile). Any way any takers? First beer on the mile is on me.

    Hi first post in a while, I do highly recommend the OKTO Dac 8 stereo. It's a bit nerdy but sounds way better than the asking price and has held off my GAS for a new dac for nearly 2 years. Downsides, balanced output only and firmware upgrades via windows only (I believe). Bought it new with the ropee card installed for Roon output. I occasionally think about an upgraded endpoint but the consensus is the installed card is just as good as the usual $2k endpoint suspects

  18. Mini Meet Outdoors with Jp

    We came to possibly the lamest conclusion, all three are pretty awesome. We had way different rankings I preferred the lcd5 of the three amd Mike the he1kse.  The lcd5 to me was the most revealing of the three and had the wettest midrange. When a headphone out details the HE1kse that's impressive and the lcd5 did just that. 

    I love the other two as well and could easily and very happily live with any of these. Hifiman wins for comfort and least picky of sources while holding its own in every audio category we compared them in. 

    I do think the adx5000 is the mofo steal of the century at almost half the price of the HE1kse and less than half the price of the lcd5. Very very fast sounding extremely dynamic but can be slightly thin sounding. Both the adx5000 and lcd5 improve with eq and take eq well the HE1kse doesn't need much.

    I am absolutely blow away by the Matrix Mini pro 3. For $1000 or under you get a streamer (Roon, airplay), decent DAC and HPA. 

    I currently have the Sonnet Morpheus and when I subbed in the Matrix, yes there was a different presentation IE the Matrix maybe having greater perceived detail and the Sonnet being more layered. It sounds like the Sonnet is deeper back to front and the Matrix is wider side to side. 

    All in all if you blind compared them I am not sure you’d say one smoked the other. 

    Used there are going for $750 or below if you get a chance try one. I would suggest using the LAN or I2S with the matrix x-spdif as the preferred way to feed it a signal.

    Anyone else out there try these? I’ve used the HE1000se, Grado old school sr125, HP1000 and some JH IEMs and in all cases the sound is pretty pretty good.
