very important for most of us :rofl:
he also mentioned that Gain 1 like on 789 is missing on the new unit - not ideal for sensitive iems

You looking to pick up a pair lol? Can recommend for sure

Mon did you know that this company charges a 1000$ to buy this headphone with a leather case and a stand and a couple y adapters? On there website they’re selling a cable for 5000$

This is how you know a company is bullshit. I wouldnt accept their headphones for free. they should be boycotted

Their headphones are awesome, and while they do offer that stuff, I didn’t buy the extras with my phi tc. It’s not like you have to buy it anyway. Just like any high end company, there will be high priced add-ons

ah so you have pair, how would you compare them to the Stax L700?

I got the 007mk2 over the l700, but I would much take the phi tc over both if I could only have one

If you have a dac capable of it. Like the smsl su8. Ir even Enog 2 pro, just lower the output voltage from tbe dac and you would have no problems with IEMs.

im starting to wonder if i have a faulty one. i just dont feel the volume goes up that high. Mon do you think you can play a estat on them through a converter?

Wait are you trying to run them with estats?

i was thinking about it

What would you be using to convert the signal?

thinking of the woo one. they show up on ebay for a nice price

Which woo one are you referring to?

the WEE. its either that or the 252.

But how would you run the wee with the sp200? I thought it only takes a speaker input

oh nvm
