Goldenear! Can't go wrong. They're dreamy.  
Olive Media 06HD Trouble Shooting
I owned a 6 and a 3. I could go into a deep dive re all the problems, but not here, too tedious. PM me and we can chat. The short version: walk away and get a Sony HAP.

Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
Williedog - could you comment on the before and after of your ssd swap? I have a HAP and thinking of doing this also.

Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx
