$1000 Headphones + Amp budget. Any recommendations?
If you check out slick deals right now you can get the HiFiMan HE-560 for a shockingly low $319 (new + balanced cable) on a retailer that sounds like adore mama (not sure if we're allowed to link). That leaves a lot of room for a great amp. I have the iFi iDSD and iCan Pro. You could do a used...- number34

Just joined the drop. Will post impressions in the next few weeks. I'll be driving these through a Sony ZX2 and comparing to Yuin PK1's recabled to balanced. Really looking forward hearing these!- number34

Head-Fi'ers In the Southbay of LA??
Reviving this thread. I'm in Hermosa. Will probably see some people at the Source AV's monthly meet up. Finally able to go to the upcoming Flagship Headphone Battle. Other listening sessions would be great too!- number34

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
Opened a ticket with iFi. Maybe everything is related because now Eco is running much more quietly than I remember and I have definite L/R channel db imbalances at lower volumes. Their service seems top-notch so I'll report back soon.- number34

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
Hello, it was acting up on a nearly full battery. The unit was plugged in all night and started cutting out this morning. I have had that issue happen with a low battery but not the case this time, also on low battery it'll cuts out regardless of filter. This time it was totally fine on...- number34

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
HELP! I'm absolutely loving the iDSD Micro I got a week ago. Today it started cutting out with the Filter set to standard (using digital coaxial from an X3) -- as in plays a half second of music then cuts off and this repeats every second. I moved it to Minimum phase and it still cut off...- number34

The DIY Discman Repair Thread
Hi folks, I searched a bit but didn't find another with my problem. On my D-303 it's gotten to the point where hitting 'next track' kills it. The display will go from whatever track it's playing to to showing '00' then the orange light will flicker for a sec and the player will shut off. ...- number34

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
Husbands out there... "gift" your wife something nice and she'll care less about the headphones. Make sure the timing is such that she gets her gift first but before she has time to forget it and move on. Also try to make sure she doesn't connect two and two! Plus, these are closed...- number34

CanJam SoCal 2015, March 28-29, 2015
Getting more excited for this by the day. The prospect of buying a bunch of gear without it getting shipped to the house, aka getting caught by my wife, is quite enticing! And of course meeting and learning from so many audio enthusiasts in one place... Just wondering as I'm looking at...- number34
