IMHO the faceplate doesn't really make much of a difference now especially when you're listening to your music. I doubt most people will have the time to be staring at their compass'.

hey bro, how's ur compass? could you solve the imbalance problem?

We're still in the midst of finding the source of the problem.
The only thing I can do right now is to let it burn it in while waiting for GodLuvSxS to find a solution.

my compass is getting better and better each day, the bass seems to calm down a bit. it is not as bloated as when i received them. what about urs guys?

my compass only reach 30+ hours until now.
running on MOON + Bright setting. testing with k701, hd600, ms2i
will try with EARTH after finish burn-in MOON. target is to reach 600 hours, but some Headfi ppl claim after 900+ hours still give improvement.

compare the DAC part to iBasso D1, is more details, yet musical. compass able to bring out more details of mid.

compare the amp part to LDMK3, i found the compass is more refine and have better control of low.

xijan...why u dont burn in in soft2?? soft2 can burn in all other sound setting...

anyone have compare this with tube headamp?

This is a solid DAC amp. It won't sounds like tube amp.

lol i wonder how this would stack up against my musiland

i think it would win =( and i spent 358aud bucks on it.

musiland has got a sucky amp

should do compare side by side.

by the way, guys, how's your burning process? can do some review about the improvement? mine is still in burning process right now. there are around 10 people owning this DAC right now. why only about 3 or 4 people showing up in this thread.

Anyone here interested in a brand new unopened unit of the Compass?

RM1050 stock unit. EDIT: Unit is on the way on EMS. so it should arrive in a few days. My friend was not clear with me about that. I thought it's in m'sia.

My friend got it and he had to pursue something else before the item arrived so he doesnt need it anymore. =.=

Good choice if you don't want to wait.

EDIT: COD at cheras

guys, how's ur compass doing? today i just tried to pair my compass with T-amp through the pre-amp, WOW... compass is so powerful, i turn the volume for about 1/6 of the full volume only, the sound is so loud for my celestion.

interesting, seems like the "Bright" is the most neutral setting while "Neutral" actually isn't neutral??
