I spoke to Jon, the guy that  makes them, and he says they can be any length. Think I'm going to go for something around the 1m mark to use at home and on the move.

Placed order for Bitzie with 1m Lautus. Will keep it on me so I can pop into places and try it out with various headphones.

Does anyone know where I can get a good education on headphone auditioning?

Got the Bitzie today and at first was really impressed until I noticed that there's some noise coming through when turned up over 3/4, is this normal? Tested against my Komplete Audio (also a USB DAC) and no noise at all.

As there is a proper analogue amp stage some noise is unavoidable. If the noise is more than just a bit of background hiss we'll initiate warranty procedures.

Hi Graham, hope you had a nice break.

I changed to my better headphones and it's all but disappeared. I think my ATH-ES7s just aren't up to it. With the Senn HD380/595s it sounds, quite frankly, stunning. Very, very happy. I'm demoing to some of my musician friends tomorrow to spread the word.

Have a virtual hug *hug*

Welcome back :)

The Bitzie is incredible. I was using mine this evening to assess the HD800 against the HD540 Reference I.

Agree 100%, I love that listening-to-something-I've-heard-a-million-times-before-for-the-first-time sensation. I think I'll feel much more confident auditioning new headphones with the Bitzie :)

What was the verdict - 800 vs 540?
