Hi, Rdbogdan. Could I ask how much it cost you to upgrade the board in your amp to V2? I’m considering doing the same myself, if it’s not too prohibitively expensive. Thanks!

I have the HE-400, HE-500, HE400i. All great, especially the HE-500. I'd love to hear what HiFiMan's state of the the art headphone handles the music.

Just use Adorama's search tool to look up Ifi iDSD and it will come up as the Mark II. There's no picture of the amp on the Adorama page, yet. But you can find a picture of the black edition online elsewhere. It sounds like a great update. But the price is the normal $549, so there's no deal...

I think you should change tack and name your headphone:   The ZMF Gran Turismo (GT)   This name describes a headphone that is both luxurious and rich, and which offers top notch listening performance.   This headphone transports you to a place of bliss, where the pleasure in the journey is...

Thanks so much for posting your impression between the two versions of the X2. Yes, I wish I would have received the WOOX version, too. It just seems like a more solid product. I wouldn't mind having everything just right, with properly removable pads and solid quality control. The Gibson...

Hi,   Is it safe to assume that the WOOX pair and the "good" Gibson pair exhibited the slight difference in sound? And the "bad" Gibson pair is the drastically different one?   You mention that you'd want a WOOX pair. Can you describe how the WOOX and the "good" Gibson compare to your ears...

Hi, John.   I also have all the cans you listed except the ath-m40x. Well, it's really hard to recommend a new set of cans because there's so much user preference involved. Something I like may not work for your ears or music at all.   Having said that, I also find the HiFiMan HE-500 to be...

Yes, thanks for the advice. I will certainly run the SineGen test to see if there's an issue. Especially relevant while the cans are still within the return period.

Well, third party sellers aren't so bad if they are under the Amazon Prime umbrella. You get the same return privileges as if you had purchased directly from Amazon. So I didn't know what to expect, having never owned an X2 and reading about all these issues. Well, I got a Gibson distributed...

I got my X2s a few weeks ago.   Got them fulfilled by Amazon, from a third party seller, with Prime shipping. So I guess that means they come from the Amazon warehouse just as if I had purchased them directly from Amazon?   I've been so busy I haven't opened them yet. And now I find out...

Reminds me of the time a family friend convinced me to change the clutch plate in my front wheel drive car instead of taking it in. It took us two full work days, and at the end we discovered a big beefy bolt that we somehow missed putting back in the car. LOL, the car seemed to run OK without...

LOL...I predict you will end up with both sooner or later. If you are looking for a portable amp, the E12DIY is a fantastic choice. It's even great as an all-arounder, for portable and home use. But if you like tubes and are looking for a home system, by all means, pursue tubes first. Both...

This combination has not been discussed much, but I find the combination of OPA627 + LME49600 to be just great. Well worth a listen. I find it to be on par with MUSES02 and MUSES01, but all in combination with the LME49600. These really euphonic and musical chips have a special synergy with...
