    Alo Rx 2 & Solo vs CEntrance DACport

    I'm assembling my ultimate somewhat portable which I'll use at work & home for the majority of my listening.  Source will be my Macbook Air 11.6" & the phones will be my incoming ES5.  I'm stuck between the DACport & the Rx 2/Solo combination as my amplifier & DAC.  Is there a reason the Alo...

    Am I doing something wrong in the FS forums?

    I've had a few items out there for a while now, am I being unreasonably impatient or is it just really hard to get a start selling without any head-fi feedback?  Any suggestions on how to alleviate buyer worries?  I'm pretty sure I have competitive prices.   Any hints would be helpful, I...

    A few questions for those who own(ed) both Westone 4 & ES5.

    I'm coming close to a decision about selling my Westone 4 and ordering a set of ES5.  I have an appointment Monday to get impressions but can't decide between UM56 tips or selling the 4s and getting the ES5.  My questions are regarding the sound signature and 'bang for your buck' return.  I run...

    LOD vs DAC vs what does it all mean?

    I'm using an iPhone 4 as my source, with Westone 4 IEM & I have a RSA Shadow on the way.  I also have all the parts to make my own LOD from the iPhone to the Shadow.  That will be my portable rig.  At home I listen from my Macbook & planned on making a mini-jack to mini-jack cable to connect...

    I've been reading through the threads in this sub-forum & am having a hard time understanding the lingo. I'm looking for a portable amp for under $200 for my Westone 4 out of either a Macbook or iPhone 4. I like the sound signature of the Westone 4 & don't really want it altered, just opened up...

    "Am I actually an audiophile?"

    I'm thoroughly enjoying my Westone 4 that I just received but I'm not sure that they are worth $450 to me.  Not because of the set, I think they are outstanding & the price is fully justifiable, but because I'm not sure I'm quite that audiophiliac.   Where does the diminishing return drop...

    How did your IEM journey start?

    How did your IEM journey start?   I grew up with music, playing music & enjoying music; went through a period of car audio obsession (it has settled into an 'interest' of mine) & learned to describe tonality & sound impressions through several instrument purchases.  I hadn't thought about...
