    Marantz HD-DAC1

    I had bought a cable via Aliexpres, it now seems discontinued. Never used the cable anyways, I didn't find any use for it, I never needed nor wanted to connect my iPhone to the Marantz DAC. I think I only bought the cable to see if it would work...and it did. It probably still does, if I could...

    Post the last thing you bought. Oh fun!

    iPod classic 6 3rd version with 160GB, also named the 7th gen by many. iPod video 5.5, with 128GB flash memory Apparently there is this new hype going on with people starting to use old iPods again and 'dumb phones' instead of a smartphone. I bought the iPod classic, simply because I have...

    iMac 24 inch M3 / Are the audio dropout issues that plagued the M1 Macs solved?

    I am considering buying the latest iMac with the M3 chip. However, I am concerned about the audio dropout issues that apparently plagued the macs with the M1 and M2 chips. I haven't found any consensus online what is causing these issues, some think it is related to the chips used, other think...

    When is Headphone “High End”

    A pair of headphones that sit really high on your head. People with big heads have an advantage.

    Headphone collection list

    I can read this post two ways: 1. A celebration of every pair of headphones you own. Every pair has its own unique character and not one pair is ultimately better than the other. I agree in the sense that I can enjoy every pair I own on their own merits. But I could not rank every pair as S...

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    I may audition them when I get the chance. I have liked AudioQuest NightHawks (they were once my favorite pair of headphones) and still enjoy the NightOwls very much, so an eccentric tuning doesn't bother me the slightest :)

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    No I haven't heard the ADX5000, they are well above my budget LOL. But from what I have read is that the ADX5000s are extremely detailed and brightly tuned pair of headphones, similar to SennheiserHD800s.

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    I think I have found my final pair of headphones. Yes, I have had this thought many times over the years and then still ending up buying another pair out of sheer curiosity. But this time it is real. I have been using the Audio Technica R70Xs exclusively, non-stop for over half a year already...

    Where is the price/performance "sweet spot" in your opinion?

    To be frank I never heard a true high-end pair of headphones partnered with a high-end DAC and amp, but I have heard a couple of 1000-1500 USD-ish headphones and in my opinion they didn't sound that much better than a 300 dollar pair. Technicalities like detail delivery and resolution are not...
