Dock for iPhone to bypass internal dac
I'm aware of the camera adapter but is there a dock that has this all in one neat package? Basically I want to use my iPhone as a source for centrance dacmini, so lightening to USB A to USB B into my dacmini. I found this mess (attached photo) on the internet for reference- roker

CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread
I'm looking to do an upgrade so this might move from being in my main rig to a desktop rig. Which is more than fine. A good piece of equipment like this should stay put. I purchased it 5 years ago and it's still going strong.- roker

Identical sound signature to the ah-d1100 Denons?
late update, but I finally got around to buying these not too long ago. They sound fantastic. I'm really happy with them ... BUT ... I feel the Denon version sounded slightly better, mainly because the cups were deeper and fit around my ears better. I feel the deeper cups gave the bass...- roker

Identical sound signature to the ah-d1100 Denons?
Well it beats paying 110 for those Denons when I bought them new only to have them fall apart a year later. I can swallow a 50 dollar loss easier.- roker

Identical sound signature to the ah-d1100 Denons?
So my d1100s crapped out on me. They were horribly built plasticky headphones (cracked at cup joints and other areas), on top of that, the ear pads faded away and peeled off. My question is, is there a similar headphone out there with the same comfort (they were around the ear not on ear) and...- roker

CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread
Thanks, fellas! I've been rolling with my Denon D2000s for a long time and felt a nice change of pace would be nice with the more open design of the HD600s. I'll do a mini-review when I score a pair!- roker

CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread
So I got the 1 ohm mod a long time ago: "Headphone Linearity" Mod (1 Ohm output) DACmini CX stock unit comes with 10 Ohm headphone output impedance. To our ears, it offers the most musical, transparent sound. Users have described it as "warm" and "analog-like". However we can lower...- roker

Any opinions / reviews on the new McIntosh D100?
agreed. $2500 isn't cheap, but for McIntosh you'd figure they'd try to charge 5000+. I love the look of their components but they're so overpriced for the most part that it's comical.- roker

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
I couldn't find a thread about it, but how are the new Denons? I still listen to my D2000s nearly everyday. After pairing it with Centrance DacMini withe 1 Ohm mod, I haven't looked back. How do the new ones compare? If I had the money, I'd get my D2000s modded with wooden cups and such.- roker

Denon 1100 best bargin?
Oh lord, barely had it past a year and it's cracking like crazy at the same spot on the plastic that holds the cups. Ugh, now I wish I didn't buy them. I haven't put them on in a long while. Is there anything I can do? Does Denon offer replacement parts? this sucks- roker

biggest con for those looking to purchase a DACmini: There's a big big big chance you'll find yourself coming to this site less often ... yeah, that's a veiled pro, but I haven't felt the need to sell and upgrade at all since buying it. My D2000s sound fantastic on it. The only thing I...- roker

Which tube amp under $200 for Q701 and SR325is
If you're looking for a tube amp, I wouldn't get the LDI+ as it's a hybrid. It sounds nice, but it's not a tube amp. Personally I loved the LDI+ when I had it but felt that the pot was kind of ... junky. The sound was nice on the other hand. But it's not a true tube amp.- roker

Denon 1100 best bargin?
I think so. It has a premium sound and requires NO amp. How can that be beat? It has a very full size sound to it. Now, they don't sound like the refined full sized big boys, but as a potable it has a meaty, fun BUT clear sound. Cons: Not for vocals or bass light recordings. Some rock...- roker

K702's or Schiit Asgard first
Quote: Oh, I see. Most of the time I consider true rock all the stuff that came out during the late 60s up till the late 70s. Stuff after that is a bit rougher and different. I guess what I'm trying to say is, although I love the bass and drums on my D2000s, I'd like to...- roker

Vote: DACMini Vs. HA-160D
I can't speak for the Burson, but I've had my Dacmini now for a year and I can't part with it for even a day. It makes music sound exactly how I'd expect it to sound and coming home after a long day of work and having a long listening session to decompress is one of the things I do not...- roker
