I am currently in search of a new DAC and headphone amp. My current gear is the SMSL SU-8 (DAC), THX 789 Massdrop (AMP) and Bravo Audio V2 (Tube amp). I am looking for a mid to high-end DAC/AMP combo that would be a good investment and last me years whilst sounding good of course. I am looking...

Hello guys, I don't really know what to look for now. I have the Audeze LCD2F, Hifiman Edition XV2, Hifiman TH900 MK2, Sony MDR Z1R, HD 600, ZMF Aeolus, AKG 7XX, Campfire Audio Cascade. I tend to dislike neutral, analytical or bright headphones. As you can tell from my current line up is very...

Hello, I am looking for a new daily TWS earbud for everyday activities, going to the gym, the market, and walking out in general. Looking for 'fun' sounding TWS earbuds, nothing too neutral or flat basically. My old TWS earbud is a Sony WF-1000XM4 but that broke on my right after the warranty...

Greetings, I am looking for a close-backed headphone and am having a hard time choosing between the Argon MK3 and Emu wood. This is the music that I mainly listen to. Bass-heavy and/or vocal-focused music, like RnB, Rock, Hip-hop, and Electronic music. I also game a bit but it doesn't have to...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting the Argon MK3, over the years I have always seen YouTubers (like DMS and JoshuaValor) and other people praising it. I know it is not a clear/analytical sounding headphone, it is a fun/warm headphone that I am into. But, I already have some other high-end...

I'm looking for good-sounding TWS earbuds, it is near black Friday and some deals have appeared. Mainly ones that feel solid, premium, and just have a good sound. My current TWS buds are the Tronsmart Apollo Bold, they sound good (I think) but the build quality feels like cheap plastic. Which I...

Hi all, I am currently in the market looking for a new TWS. I will be mainly using it for casual walkabouts and gym/running use. I am considering between the CA or Tronsmart Apollo for now but I am open to more suggestions. I am looking for a TWS that can get loud enough to block out noises and...

Hi all its been a year plus since I kept up on the audiophile world and am not up to date of all the best gear and what not. As the title states I'm looking for a headphone amp to use at home mostly that can power my HD 600, Hifiman edition X V2, Audece LCD2. I was thinking the JDS labs Atom...

I am looking for a thumb size or fairly small dac/amp smaller than the nx4 dsd for my laptop use. I have a nx4 dsd but it is just too big for me and honestly I dont need that much power. All I plan to use the dac/amp with is with iems mainly my jh 13vs and campfire cascade both of which do not...

As the title states I am looking at which to choose between this 2. I listen to alot of hip hop,EDM,rock and a mixture of others BUT NOT CLASSICAL , opera and other genre like them. I also play games so I was hoping this good an average soundstage but with good imaging. Which would more suit my...

So as the title says I am looking for a close back headphone with a fun sound signature like a V or W sound signature. I would also say that even though I said gaming tbh it's more like a bonus if the headphone can be used for gaming but for me the music is a priority. I was thinking between the...

Hello everyone, as the title says I am looking for a tube amp to be paired with the ZMF aeolus. I was thinking between the Little dot mk3 or the bottlehead crack. Which would be a better pair for it and make it sound more tubey,warm,open ?

So I am trying to find a dac/amp for my gaming consoles.I was thinking about one of the creative dac/amp because my friend showed to me that he can use the sound blaster E1 to connect to his PSP using the line in however I would probably go for one of their higher end model. Also a DAC/AMP for...

So this is my first DAP I'm gonna get and am having trouble finding which to get with so many to choose from. I will plan to test the DAPs if available in Canjamm Singapore this year .Before proceeding I will say I don't call myself an audiophile I just like listening to music.I am looking for a...

So how do you guys/girls stack your dac/amp on your table . I have limited space and I wanna buy another amp . But I want to find a proper way to stack my collection on my table like having a miniature rack for it. Just a tower of dac/amp. Any ideas?

From what I have seen on the internet there has only been 1 statement I saw that compared them both. Apparently the argon offers more bass but other than that , the rest are the same from the soundstage to treble and so on. I plan on using it to listen to music primarily with genres consisting...

So I just got the massdrop thx 789 amp which I am plan to connect to the SMSL SU-8 DAC for a balanced connection. However I am completely lost at how to connect it. So do I have to use a dual XLR female to dual RCA cable to connect it? By plugging the dual XLR female to the SMSL SU-8 then the...

I got a shiit fulla 2 which I wanna use as a amp and connect to a SMSL SU-8 dac . I saw the shiit manual and it said If I wanna use it as an amp I connect it with a TRS to TRS cable or TRS to dual RCA cable .I wanna know if I can use a TRS to dual XLR cable to connect the shiit fulla 2...

Ok so I just went to a local audiophile store in Singapore. I noticed while I was trying out their headphones A LOT of people were trying out their digital audio players. The only thing I can guess why people use digital audio players is that they have a better DAC and would most likely be able...

So i just went to my local store and tried the audeze lcd2 and I really liked it. However the huge turn off for me was that it was really heavy. I usually use my headphones ALOT and after using the LCD2 for a few like 10-15 minutes my neck was starting to sore. Unless I start taking roids and...

Does anybody have this and how does it sound? I can only find 1 review of it and a massdrop discussion and from what I can see it's a good amp but it's dac is average . Which is no problem I am planning on buying a topping d50 or smsl su8. Because it's either I get this an external dac or the...

I am looking to buying a new dac/amp that is versatile and can work with any headphones .I was looking at the THX AAA linear AMP on massdrop but I have not gotten any balanced cable as of right now. So I'm looking at the new labs atom. Is it powerful enough? The most it can push is 125mw...

Im still kind of an audiophile newbie having only purchase an AKG 7XX, fidelio X2 and Shiit fulla 2 (AMP/DAC) to go with the headphones.But I am ready to go and buy new headphones with a bigger budget and wanna see what more the "audiophile" world has to offer. Thing is i am not sure what...

Ok so I have a AK 7XX that I like but i am currently using a shiit fulla 2 to power it. Right now I got a budget of 350USD and wanna buy a new DAC/AMP. Ok now i know a DAC is not needed its just digital to analogue converter but my laptop soundcard sucks and I think a DAC would make the sound...

Im kinda dumb when it comes to audiophile terms.So basically i wanna purchase a new headphones.But im stuck between choosing the monolith m1060 or the hifiman HE-400I. My first audiophile purchase was the AKG 7XX from massdrop and my amp/dac combo is the shiit fulla 2.Whichever headphones i buy...
