Please help identify IEM name - DITA Audio
Hi All, I was gifted this IEM and I am not sure which DITA Audio earphone it is. Can these pictures help determine what earphone I am listening to? I do not have the box it would have been delivered in. There are two right angle connectors. One is a 3.5mm TRS and the other is a 2.5mm TRRS.- tf1216

Competition Closed...but what is in the Retro – Stereo 50?
Big iFi Audio fan here! I noticed there wasn't a thread dedicated to the Retro Stereo 50 and with it's eventual release in the States I think it's time to start one. I had the opportunity to hear the Retro system at CanJam '14 and I loved what it did with HiFiMan headphones. I didn't get...- tf1216

AK240 Owners: Can you recommend an equivalent desktop solution for less $$
I auditioned the AK240 at AXPONA and it knocked my socks off. It made my CIEMs sound better than they ever had. Do you any of you know of a desktop solution that compares well to the AK240 for $1,000 less? The source will be a laptop running JRiver. What do you folks think?- tf1216
