    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

      Is there a difference in Sound Quality when using CLAS -dB with an idevice, against using it with a PC/laptop via USB connection..?? I'm looking to get one, but mainly concerned about any drop in SQ when listening from my laptop...since this is primarily advertised as a DAC for idevices..

    Review by 'BadBoySimran' on item 'HeadAmp pico USB DAC/Amp'

    I have now been using the Pico Dac/Amp for well over 6 months now, mainly with my laptops, and I can genuinely say that the sound this little device pumps out is stellar.   There is no audible noise floor, irrespective of the music being played or not. Although, there is distortion when...

    Roll call: Indians staying in India, interested in high end headphones/IEMS

      Thank you! I tried :-) Glad to be part of the HD800 Club..!     Oh yes, the HD800s did surprise me pleasantly. It's nice to know to know that my impressions are not completely inaccurate!   I have been in talks with a few other Head-fi'ers as well, who own or have owned/auditioned...

    Okay, so I had the chance to audition the Sennheiser HD800 today.....Unfortunately, @vaibhavp and @abhinit90 couldn't make it :(   The Sennheiser Office had the Lehmann Black Cube Linear as the amp for the HD800, which was connected to an HP laptop through headphone-out :facepalm: But, unlike...

    He means to use it with the Centrance Hifi M8, which has the 4-pin XLR connection only, and not the mini-XLR.

    Actually, I am looking for a more balanced and neutral sound, but with inoffensive treble....something that could complement the LCDs. Moreover, with certain classical music that I listen to, I would love a headphone that could provide a wide soundstage and good imaging -- something I've heard...

      Not yet.... :-(   According to what info I have gathered over the past few days, there is a single pair of HD800 rotating among the Sennheiser showrooms/offices in the Delhi-NCR region, for auditioning purposes. And currently, that pair is in Noida.  The person responsible for making the...

    I own both the DX100 as well as the Fiio E12, and seldom use the E12 as an external amp with the DX100. As Gamefreak054 aptly described: the E12 is too much colored, narrow sounding and has poor imaging than the DX100's internal amp. Although, I cannot deny the fact that the E12 certainly does...

    Man...What would I give to visit your place and audition all the Awesome equipment that you own  I too am afraid (as someone mentioned) that the Stax might spoil me forever!!    BTW, @vaibhavp @abhinit90 : If all goes well, we'll be able to audition the HD800 on Friday/Saturday at the...

    To be honest: No, I did not like the comment when I first read it...with the bold letters and no emoticons, it seemed like an outpour of strong emotions. But, I took it in stride. And I had to write about it once, to establish that it was unwelcome. Anyway, let's leave it here and not talk...

    As someone already said: no need for such strong emotions... I understand that it was spoken in jest. But, still... Anyway, I would rather audition such an expensive headphone, especially one that is said to be a little analytical and definitely not everyone's cup of tea. FYI, Sennheiser...
