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

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

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

Do the Sennheiser 650s compliment the Denon D2000s well?
I was looking for a Yin/Yang kind of comparison. I use the Denons for my Punk/New Wave/80s stuff, but I was looking for something that pairs better with Rock and Vocals. Any advice? Anyone know where to score them cheap? Thanks, in advance.- roker

Garage sale Thorens 190 ... worth 50 bucks?
He had no adapter for it so I have no idea if it works. Looks good, missing a stylus. Older version with the RCAs wired in. Should I go back and roll the dice? Price is not negotiable. It wasn't his, selling it from random junk he picked up.- roker

Do the DT250 pads fit the new Sony ZX700s like they did the MDR V6 / 7506?
I bought the ZX700 and it sounds great but the comfort is not where I'd like it to be. Does anyone if this swap will work? I got word that the V6/7506 pads are smaller, is does the DT250 big? Can I make it work? THanks ahead of time- roker

40 oz to Freedom
Man I never realized how horribly recorded this album was. I'm tempted to buy some crappy headphones or use a crappy amp so I can enjoy this album again. Anyone else feel the same? There just seems to random bouts of distortion. Maybe my rip is bad (I hope) or maybe it was just recorded... -

M-Stage & MS II+ vs CEntrance Dacmini
After weeks of indecision, I've narrowed it down to these two setups. I like the flexibility of the Dacmini, but I also love what I hear about the M-Stage amp. I'm interested in good bass extension and crystal clear highs (I'm more of a musical guy than a neutral person) ...- roker

Fire Sale on Ultrasone?
Maybe I haven't looked at their prices in a couple of years, but I've noticed they're a lot cheaper than they used to be. Being the mega fan of Denon D2000s that I am, what can I expect from Ultrasone? Are they dark? Are they bright? Are they fun? I'm not a fan of neutrality...- roker

Which is more fun?
I was originally not going to go with a Chinese amp, but you guys here are in love with the M-Stage. Here's my thing though, I've heard a lot of good things about the asgard as well, and now that's officially in the picture. Here's what I want though, a fun solid state amp that'll play...- roker

Looking for a high quality Solid State amp.
But I don't want to go with the "budget" Chinese designed. So this keeps Little Dot, Matrix, gd, and all the other guys out of the picture. Preferably I want to go with a Japanese audio company, but those aren't always easy to get a hold of. I just would like some ideas, please.- roker

Fiio D3
has anyone purchased this yet? I've been curious for a while now on what to expect from a 30 dollar optical DAC. They're being sold on MICCA right now (not sure if they are a sponsor, so google them) Anyone willing to bite the bullet? My NHT M-00s need love.- roker

I need a small desktop amp for work.
I would buy one of those nice portable iBasso amps, but I don't need the batteries. I just want something to hook my iPod to for my IEMs and portable headphones. I like musical, fun sounding amps. I like my bass with a side of clarity. thanks in advance.- roker

Is there a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter that works with mic button headphones?
I have a couple of headphones like this lying around yet I'm never able to use them with my big beefy amp unless I hold down the mic button the entire time. Is there anyway to work around this? I'd really like to hear how my Phonak IEMs sound with my LDI+. thanks in advance.- roker

Want to upgrade from an NE-7M.
With all these specials coming up, I thought it might be a good time to bust out the credit card and get a new set of IEMs. I'm getting tired of my NE-7Ms especially compared to my HD25s. I like bass but I'm not a bass lover (dunno if that makes sense). I guess a neutral sound might be in...- roker

I know it's a long shot, but I like the form factor of both of these dacs and I need to buy one here soon. I just need a small Optical input Dac for a home entertainment center I'm putting together (music, movies, and games). Thanks -Ray- roker

I just wanted to say, these are some goofy looking headphones and I can't seem to take my eyes off them. If it weren't for the bad reviews (e.g. lack of bass), I probably would've picked up a pair. Has anyone tried to swap out the drivers from a better set (Denons, Beyerdynamic, etc.)...- roker

I figured it was time I made a thread expressing my love for these headphones. I know much has been made about the headphones being a bit too much on the bright side, but so are the 325s and they have a following of their own. I'm not sure how things were with the 125s, but the "i" version...- roker
