    Issue posting a review?

    I was sent a Burson Cable + and I wrote a review and posted it in the Burson Cable+ reviews thread, but it's not showing up. So I tried posting it again, and again it did not show up. I want to fulfil my end of the bargain since I received this cable free of charge. Can a moderator please help...

    Review by 'mistersprinkles' on item 'Burson Audio Cable+'

    *Disclaimer: I received this as a free review sample and did not pay for it I have been testing the Burson Cable+ PRO A2R 3.5mm to RCA cable. I used it between my iphone and my imac (both standard 3.5mm outputs on these devices) and my schiit magni 2 amp. First I listened using a standard...

    Burson Cable+ PRO A2R (my thoughts)

    You are correct. I had it plugged in when I used it and assumed that I was charging some battery but when I unplugged the USB I realised that the device has no battery :P

    Oppo PM-3, help me pick a DAC/AMP

    I'm borrowing my friend's DAC and I bought a used Magni 2. Non uber. Sounds quite excellent.

    Oppo PM-3, help me pick a DAC/AMP

    I'm getting Oppo PM-3's. Will be for desktop use. I know, other headphones are "better" but I like these :). Considering the following options: Odac+Schiit Magni 2 Dragonfly Red Dragonfly black+Schiit Magni 2 Schiit Modi+Schiit Magni 2 Which of these options would be preferable? Also how...

      I am almost 100 percent certain that you are looking at 24/192 for the magni/modi (whichever one of those is the DAC). There is an addon box for $149 that upgrades the DAC to DSD (native) capabilities.

      You would prefer bright to warm? I am more inclined towards warm. I am by no means an anti-brightite. I like it just fine, but given the choice I will take warm every time. Glad you enjoy your unit. The Asgard, which is a step or two up from the stack, is quite bright, but not annoyingly so.

    Schiit Asgard + HE400i

    Rick, thanks, do you have the 400i's? I'd prefer not to put down the cash for an H10 if it's not going to blow my mind.

    I'm using a Schiit Asgard (version 1) that I got second hand for a comically cheap price. It's in mint condition. The guy had upgraded to the Lyr and just wanted to unload this thing.  How much of a difference does it make? Well, you can't compare apples to oranges. The Fulla is a low end...

    I've had HE400i's since June. I finally picked up a headphone amp and they have really come alive. It's great.

    Schiit Asgard + HE400i

    I've been running my HE400i's off my Marantz integrated's headphone out with very mediocre results. I picked up a used Schiit Asgard (version 1) for super cheap. It was so cheap I couldn't help myself. I realize that a higher output amp such as a Gustard H10 would better serve me, but I picked...

      You haven't lived until you've listened to DSD my friend. Get a portable player that natively supports DSD and get a DSD DAC for home use. You'll love it. Going from 44Khz to over 2Mhz sample rate is just so amazing. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying DSD on anything  better than my...
