Looking for closed over ear headphones that are wireless, but have optional wired ability is good. Mostly used indoors, but light enough for use with light biking or jogging. Fed by a Samsung S8 smartphone.

I am hoping against hope this could be legit. Anyone have any input? Am I crazy for even considering it? Gryphon Diablo 300 Integrated Amplifier https://www.yoycart.com/Product/20692583809/ China

I am considering three dac options. Two have headphone amps the other is integrated dac/amp. The three are:   Exasound E22  $3499 dac/hp Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD DAC $1595  dac/hp Nad M2 Used $2850  dac/amp   Any opinions are welcome as are alternate suggestions. Also, If I don't get...

Is there hope that some company will come out with a lossles format that has full native tagging and album art within file ability? Aiff does this, but is not well supported. I know many are happy with flac, but I would rather have uncompressed lossless files. Is a bnc connector worthile...

I would like to get recordings of two works. They are... Holst: The Planets Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites I would like to know what you think are the best. Please only suggest recordings that are clean. I can't handle poor audio production. Older recordings are welcome if they sound clean...

I use an X-fi Elite Pro to send digital out to my dac. I am trying to find out if hardware acceleration should be left on for music playback. I don't game or I am sure it would be useful. What does hardware acceleration do to the bits of an audio stream? Can you use it and still have an...

I have a modded Zhaolu which now has only one set of rca outs. I am trying to find the best way to connect my headphones and speakers to the dac and amp. Right now I have a Heed Canamp, and the rca jacks out of the Heed go to a receiver for the speakers. I want to eliminate the receiver from the...

I have learned a lot about dacs since visiting these forums and will soon have a dac with a discreet output stage. I also have a Heed Canamp on order, but am wondering if it will be a negative to get an amp that has an opamp while using a dac with discreet output. Are there amps with discreet...

Which one should I order? The 2.5A has the AD1852 chip and the 2.5C has the CS4398 chip.

Would it damage an amp to link two of them in a series? I am wondering what the result would be if you ran your dac signal into a solid state amp and then input the signal out of the solid state into a tube amp, and then into the headphone. Would this damage the second amp? Would it give you the...

I am going to get the ORI upgrade fro my Zhaolu D2 and have been using a Chaintech AV710 with optical out. With the ORI I will lose optical on the Zhaolu because ORI states he finds the optical inferior on this dac and disables it. So, I need to get a new transport for coaxial digital. I don't...

I have a Zhaolu 2.D2 and have 2 4562 and 1 2000 opamp{s}, but have still been looking to improve. I have wanted to get a Zapfilter or the Ori upgade, but have not made it that far. I have run across the Altmann Attraction DAC, and was wondering if the claims it's maker claims are true. If it...

I wanted to get my wife a set of good closed cans for Valentines day that she can use at her job. The A900's looked a little big and seemed to me out of place on her in a work enviroment. I also read that might not stay on your head that well if you move around. I have read they sound very nice...

I have been using Winamp with ASIO and noticing some siblance, not bad, but enough to make me wonder if it was really the headphones. I went into preferences under plugins>input>Nullsoft Cd Plugin and unchecked "Sampling(when not in DAE mode)". I now have no sibilance and the vocals are clearer...

I have tried a number of things, but can't get the digital{coaxial} out to work sending digital to my Zhaolu Dac from the Audigy. I have Asio4All installed. I have optical out my AV-710 and it sounds terrific. I just want to hear the Audigy2ZS for comparison. Can anyone tell me how to get the...

The K1000 costs more, but not that much. Which one is better overall?

I am po'd. I spent countless hours ripping and paying for mp3's and going my merry way playing my thousand's of mp3's out of my sound blaster5.1 and low price Sony's. I had it covered. Since joining this forum I have been inspired to get the HD650's , K701's, and a better source and power. I now...

I would like an amp that will sound great with both the HD650s & the k701s. Would the Gilmore Lite be as good as any in their price range to use with both phones? Edit:No one has complained but after reflection I should have put this in the Amp forum. Please excuse my oversight.

I have the Zhaolu 2.0 ordered and am looking forward to it, but I am also wondering how the Denon AVR-2807 Dolby Digital DTS Receiver compares as a source. Do you think the dacs in the Denon and it's headphone out would be as good as the Zhaolu?

I have an Audigy 2.0ZS. I have been told it is not that good for signal out to DAC and that optical out is best. Is this true? Please suggest a card to send to replace the Audigy. Is Is optical better for Coaxial? Is the Chaintech AV-710 good or is their a better card for under $125? Edit: I...

I currently have an Audigy 2ZS and some HD650's. I feel my 650's are a not being fed properly and that the transitions in the lower ranges are unfocused due to my source. I am willing to spend up to $750 to improve my source, but I am staying with my mp3, flac, and wav files. What I would like...

A great audio program I use with Winamp and my 650 Senns. My headphones are my best link in my hardware as I use an Audigy2zs and mid line receiver. I like the Senns very well without the program, but I like the way I have brighter more detailed music with Sound Solution. Find it here: I have...

I have no experience with nice headphones...been using old cheap Sony's{MDR CD30"s}. I listen from a pc through a Soundblaster Live 5.1 out to a stereo receiver. I don't want to spend over $400 on the headphones. I listen mainly to pop/rock{not hard} and some classical. I like nice vocals and a...
