    Post the last thing you bought. Oh fun!

    To replace my 8-year-old Audioengine A5+ desktop speakers.... The A5+ will be moving to my backup PC.

    Just ordered these.... to replace my aging Audioengine A5+ Speakers, which will be moved to my backup desktop system. Had a $125 dollar discount with Audioengine so I finally used it.

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    Thanks. BTW, I don't see the HD620 replacing the (my) HD800S, but I do see them fulfilling a need where you want a "bass" headphone for certain genres. But that assumes the 620S has that type of bass. Still considering the $199-dollar Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X phones that purpose as well.

    A classic album. Have it on both CD and vinyl. One of my favorites.

    :relaxed: I can find a few things to complain about, but screws aren't one of them. Nor have I bought gear based on screws. Nor is build quality associated with screws used. The (my) $3800 ($3799) dollar Teac VRDS CD Player / DAC uses rounded screws, like the UD-507; both my Denafrips...

    Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S

    How's the bass here? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD700 & HD800S in which I'm quite satisfied with their bass response where jazz and rock is concerned but am also looking to find a good pair of phones with a bit more bass for my EDM side of the house. And just FYI, while I acknowledge the...

    Is there any differences between Beyerdynamic DT 880 - 32/250/600 ohms?

    I cannot answer your question as I'm unfamiliar with any of those headphones. I'm using the Sennheiser HD800S (and HD700). I was just cruising the site and happened in this forum where I saw your posts. Sorry.

    This is much better.... Miles Davis Jack Johnson (1971). I find it far more engaging and enjoyable vs. On The Corner..... CD ripped to PC in uncompressed FLAC ▶ PC (JRiver Media Center / FLAC files) > Iris DDC > Pontus DAC > Artemis HPA > HD800S

    The Audio Lounge

    I just recently (about a month ago) finally retired my UD-503. It got replaced by the Teac VRDS 701 CD player / DAC. Well actually my Denafrips Pontus and Denafrips headphone amp replaced it, but for speaker play, that's where the UD-503 was still useful... until I got the 701 CD player with...

    Was watching a Steve Guttenberg YouTube video review of the new Denon DP-3000NE turntable, where compared Miles Davis's On The Corner CD to the vinyl version as a quick comparison between his digital setup with Jay's Audio CD Transport and the Denon DP-3000NE turntable. The vinyl with the...

    Nice collection, even though I don't have that last album.

    FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.

    Got you, but are you running the Susvara with dual Mentors?

    FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.

    How's yours sounding. Just curious?

    FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.

    At least you get an option for a remote. With my Denafrips DAC and headphone amp there is no remote option. It's hand or nothing. Meanwhile, with my Teac VRDS 701 CD player / DAC, I use the remote like it's a lost lover I missed :smile: Anyway, nice setup you have there.

    That's cool. And I take no offense. I was simply replying to what was posted. And agree, not everything is for everyone. And for the record, mine is about CDs. For vinyl, I ain't going through all that :relaxed: Peace :sunglasses:

    Teac UD-701N Discrete DAC / Network / HP Amp / Preamp

    I had the UD-503, which just got retired by my purchase of the Teac VRDS 701 CD player with built in Teac Delta-Sigma DAC. Glad to see they included a true balanced headphone connection on the front, instead of the dual 1/4 inch jacks on the UD-503. Hopefully they added some umph to the...

    We can agree to disagree since I'm actually doing instead of hypothesizing :wink: And is it really superfluous.... or lack of understanding 🤷‍♂️ Anyway.....

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    I have near 3000 CDs and about 900 vinyls, though admittedly about half are on also on CD. That said, I clearly know something about being overwhelmed with the sheer volume of music one has. Some stuff has been a rediscovery, some I'll never play again. One of the benefits of ripping my...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    I'm of the opposite as I'm completely confused as to how you guys feel this is hard to do??? I don't mess with files and folders where organizing music is concerned. That's because the CD ripping program - dBpoweramp creates its own folder structure when it rips a CD. All I have to do is point...

    looking for DDC for PC usage

    Denafrips Iris DDC. Did wonders for me. I had a DragonFly Jitterbug, and though it enhanced the vocal and mids, it never cleaned up the noise. The Iris did that and more. Now I get a darker background where bass in enhanced, soundstage is wider, details more apparent. Denafrips Iris. Note...

    My Nina Simone collection. I came to know Nina's music long after her passing. Was always curious. In addition to her voice, I absolutely love her piano playing. Love O' Love from her Silk & Soul album. This song also reminds one of an old church hymn. Also really love I Put A Spell On You...

    On a mission to like jazz

    If you like her, I highly recommend her debut album - Mohini Dey - Mohini Dey (2023) .... I've only been able to get the CD from Japan. In this case CDJapan.com. Great album full of energy. Her play truly reminds me of Stanley Clarke in his jazz rock days. I absolutely love this CD. CD...
