Hi team - I'm considering getting the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) for work and doing a work audio setup. But I'm worried that (1) my DACs (Bifrost, Topping etc) may not work, or (2) I'd have to install drivers on the iPad Pro for the DACs to work. Anyone has any positive or negative experience in this...

Just received my Schiit Valhalla 2 tube amp. It's a great amp and I love it. I'm listening with Senn HD650 (on high gain) and my source is NAD c542. When the music gets quiet, I could hear a hum/buzz. It's only noticeable when the house is quiet eg listening at night. The hum has some...

G'day audiophiles! It's been a long time since I posted and I've been quite out of touch with the audio world (been happily using my gear the last 6 years). I recently purchased a Schiit Valhalla 2 to pair up with my NAD c542 source and my trusty Sennheiser HD650 (with original cable).   My...

Hi guys, Thinking of pairing the NAD 542 with the MPX3 and the HD650. Haven't thought of ICs and cables yet. What do you think of that set-up?

Just curious: are there any studies which show the relationship between headphones use and brain tumour (just like how some studies show the relationship between mobile phones and brain tumour). Don't be alarmed - I'm just curious.

Ok just installed the player. Plug in AC power. Check Install ICs. Check. Switch player on. UH OH??!! Player doesn't come on!! No green light, nothing. Made sure that auto trigger on is switched off. Tried again. Nada. Is my player dead? Can I find out for sure?

Thinking of getting one tomorrow. I used to own the c541i, so I'm interested to hear what kinds of improvements have been implemented in the c542. Cheers!

And is it available in Australia? If not, where can I import it?

The more buffers the merrier? I'm getting a headsave ultra but I have no idea how much buffers I'd need. The ultra comes with Elantec 2001 buffers (5), but I can add 4 more. I have the ety ER4P and a future Senn 650

Personally, I'm a big fan of Nobuo Uetmasu, the genius behind the music of the Final Fantasy series. I also like Xeonogears, and the Chrono Cross/Trigger series. Anyone shares the same interest?

I recently purchased a MG Head OTL from Nick at Audio Valve Active (Sydney, Australia) and I cannot be happier.Let me say first and foremost that I don't have any interests, pecuniary or otherwise, in the man or his shop. I'm just a very happy and satisfied customer. Nick is an...

Ok let me try to describe this. The only "anomaly" seems to lie with the silver switch which is situated between the volume knob and the "transformer" headphone jack. More about the silver switch: At the up position it says "On". The word "Feedback" appears immediately below the "on" word...

Can't find Sugden's website = can't locate Australian distributor. Any ideas?

Is there a website where I can do a search, or even an email address I can write to?

Would somebody be kind ebough to list the pros and cons of both the tube and solid-state amps? Reason I ask is because I'm now confused whether to get the META42 or MG Head OTL amps for my HD-600 connected to the NAD c541i. Thanks heaps!!

Yup, just received my HD600 after almost 3 weeks of lonely voyage across Europe to Australia. Currently it's stuck to my computer being burned in. The disc I'm using is Nobuo Uetmatsu's Final Fantasy VIII OST entitled" Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec". Life is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet...

Seems to me that not alot of people own a Yamaha CDP (or has it on the wish list). Are they really that crap? Just curious.

This is really a dumb question. I'm going to beg first and foremost for your understanding as I'm an uber-n00b. Anyway, as some of you know, I've been thinking of upgrading my source to a stand-alone one (maybe). My sources at the moment are either portable or computer/laptop. My...

I bought the SACD/CD hybrid of the title "The Raven" by Rebecca Pidgeon 2 weeks ago. The recording quality is absolutely amazing. Her music has a celtic influence (enya anyone?), and is in her own style the equivalent of Diana Krall IMHO. I also have her earlier CD entitled "The New York Girls'...

This 3 year old model (in storage the past 2 years) is selling for approx US$200-220. Everything in top condition. Should I get it?

Now that I've joined Team Sennheiser, with a META42 on the way, I'm looking at upgrading my source. Since I don't have a DVD player, I thought that perhaps I should get one since it plays CD/CD-R/MP3 as well. Question: which aspects of the sound output should I pay close attention to when...

Need some help on selecting an amp for the HD600. Which one brings out the most goodness out of the HD600?

to fund my amp and headphone purchases! Damn this website and you all to hell!

I'm torn between the HD600 and the ER4S.
