My current DAC is excellent but a bit old and doesn't have USB input.  I am listening all my music out of computers now and my Laptop only has USB output.   Any recommendations?     Budget is flexible while I put more weight on SQ and USB input.   I have looked at EMM Labs DAC2 which looks...

.... never mind. found them. Can't believe they are on 3rd pages and older! The hype goes too fast IMO.

Will TTVJ get the FIRST batch of HD800 ? If so are you taking pre-orders now?

I need to replace the O-rings in my newly acquired HE60. Because HE60 has been discontinued, I was worried not being able to get replacement easily. I sent my HE60 to Alex of Apuresound for replug with STAX 5pin and asked him for help. He hasn't ordered O-rings for two years and not sure whether...

I just received a pair of HE60 today and I noticed there are something like loose bands in the driver in both drivers as shown in the pictures below. Does anybody know what they are ? I don't have HEV70 to drive them so not sure how they sound. Left: Right:

This is just unbelieveable! What happened to high-end headphone market?! Grado PS1 Headphones - eBay (item 260203074514 end time Jan-20-08 18:36:08 PST) ...

Revelation Audio Lab (RAL) sells all kinds of cables on Audiogon. I ordered a pair of cable for HD6x0 back in 9/25/2007 but never got it. Several emails to Brad Vorjtech, the point person of RAL and I'm told to wait. Then since last month, Dec. 2007, they stop replying emails and completely...

Ever since the big crash of Head-fi.org, I couldn't find the Photo site any more --- it used to be here: http://photo.head-fi.org Does anyone know? I have some photos there and really don't want to see they are all lost.

just bought a pair of HD600 about a month ago from B&H, the driver shows "HD580" just like those on new HD650's. The 600 is made in Ireland.

... I am getting a pair of HE90 headphone delivered around next Tuesday 5/22. Since my amp won't be here for a few weeks, I don't have any means to audition them. I would like to stop by your place to have a quick (less than 30min) test listening to make sure the HE90 is ok. Preferrably...

I got an impression if I am a contributing member, I can upload and store some pics here on Head-fi. But I can't find it anywhere.... Anybody? ------ never mind. Just saw Jude's thread right after I posted this thread.

I only have some MP3 download from www.mp3.com back in early 2001. Cortazar was HUGE in mp3.com -- No.1 download of all time. Now I can't find his CD anywhere. Checked Amazon, no longer carry this album. Even google didn't help. Anybody here care to offer some tip?

This guy, in China, said he found this brand new, never used R10 here in States! I wasn't aware anybody selling it here on Head-fi, or even eBay. It must be an NOS then. Serial# 900. http://www.erji.net/read.php?tid=372389 .......

I got an impression they are all designed by Kevin Gilmore (?). What commerical Headphone Amps are equivalent, in terms of performance, to Dynahi ? I wish I were a handy man that I could build my own Dynahi

I just got a used DA-10 here on head-fi which comes with nothing at all, no power cord, no cables, no adaptor, nada! I'm wondering is that so with the original package? Also the flip-control labeled "PLL" has three settings : "wide, narrow, crystal". What is that for? When I used optical...

I read lots of review/impression of Ultrasone here on Head-fi and lots of mentioning Ultrasone is extremely neutral/natural without any tonal alteration of thr original music, therefore is of utter most live like sound. But I checked the frequency response comparsion diagram and am puzzled -- it...

Since I have been tracking R10 a little, I am shocked by the demand and price hype on a used piece of electronics! I mean not just here in the States, at least I know of in China, as well as in Japan. I don't understand, given such economics, why SONY decided to stop the production...

here: http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/99407125 I can't read Japanese, but the price asked seems about $2500 US. Unbelievable! The seller did mention won't ship international though. Is this a scam? if not, can somebody in Japan help me out to buy/shipp it to US? ...
