    Liquid Carbon X Amp vs Tube Hybrid Amp

    Over at Massdrop both are joinable, the Liquid Carbon X Amp and the Tube Hybrid Amp drop. My question is, which one I should go for. I have a Violectric stack at home against which I can pair any new gear. Which of both Amps is supposed to deliver smoother, more enjoyable sound signature?

    Hi, AAC/m4a 256kbps or MP3 320kbps?

    Old thread, but still relevant. Since Bandcamp uses fdkaac, libfdk-aac VBR mode 4 at around 112kbps average, I think their AAC format is inferiour to the MP3 one. See: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/public-listening-test-of-codecs-mp3-aac-mp4-ogg-vorbis-and-opus.728636/ As mentioned above...

    iOS FLAC player

    While it is great, that you personally figured it out, it would be more than usuable in this forum if you could share your experience on how you managed to import FLAC into Foobar on iOS.

    Reply to review by 'enthusiast' on item 'Fostex TH 900'

    After some time with the Ether-Cs, I must say I miss the sound of the TH-900. It was different. Not in terms of better or worse. Just really delicate and open, "wooden" (in a good way) owed to its cherry wood cups. Also the bass had more layers, despite it having too much of it. I revise my...

    Could you describe in comparison to a over the ear headphone, like a Mr Speakers model?

    Put very strong neodym magnet (5cm) on top of Violectric V800 DAC - Need advice

    I ordered a very strong neodym manget (5cm area) for my Biking Project and unfortunately before unpacking I did put the box on top of my DAC V800 for maybe 15 seconds (I did not know, what was inside the box). There was maybe 3cm clearance between the casing and the magnet (the box and foam), so...

    For what they are they are great. But sonically they are not up to par with my MRSpeakers Ether C's. They are really good Studio Headphone with Studio Quality. If Studio/Pro Area is your cup of tea, then by all means these are hard to beat.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    It's rather depressing to read all the Cavalli praises when every non-electrostatic item on their homepage has completely sold out.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    You could say so. I would have photographed them both together, but I was listening while making pictures with the source (iPhone) :). Another thing I forgot to mention: With the latest OSX El Capitan and Streaming (iTunes works fine) I do hear a lot of clicks and pops, this seem to happen with...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    I just received my  Chrord Mojo and I here's my 2 cents on it in combination with the Ether Cs 1.1 and two black felt pads: Very spacious sound. Many layers of sound, very natural sound, highs are a bit "splashy" if ever so slightly. Bass is very impactful and the whole sound is authorative...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Hi, I received my Mojo today - thanks to Auditorium - highly recommended German Webshop! There is a problem when plugged to my Macbook 12 (2016 Core M5), lotsa clipping, and I mean constantly. Does the Mac have not enough CPU? Dual Core 1,2GhZ should do it imho. Any help is appreciated.
