As some of you guys know, I have my LCD-2 sent back to base to fix a minor problem. The conversation is smooth and just after a day or two, Sankar told me that my replacement headphone is on FedEx truck I did not really pay attention to the "replacement" part, thought it's just be fixed. Today...

Hi everybody! I'm leaving the U.S and going back to my home country in October and I started thinking about what I'm gonna bring back home. LCD-2 is the only keeper Everything else will go. DacMagic will be replaced by Digital Link III and Asgard will be replaced by either Concerto or Woo 6...

I'm just wondering if 24/96kHz recordings benefit from 48kHz DAC :D   Anyone bother shed some lights?   Thanks!

I was away from Head-Fi for a while. Came back today and see there are TONS of people get banned. Why's that?

Which one should I go for?   I'm starting using my iPhone as a DAP more recently since I'm walking a lot so I ripped all my music to Apple Lossless and start looking for an IEM.   Let's say the difference in price between them is not an issue. And I'm not gonna spend more than $120.  ...

I'm planning on buying a budget CDP with digital output to use with my DacMagic. Is there any recommendation for one with price of about $50?   Thanks everybody

If it's not against any law can someone at least tell me the reason why, out of all sudden, there are 2 guys sitting in the garage making a headphone that currently is the FOTM

Today one of my friends, after he thrown a dirty look at me when seeing me with some ridiculous headphones, came to me and ask what noise cancelling headphone he can buy for under $500. I told him to get an IEM but he said he cannot stand IEM for long so well... I don't know much about noise...

Since the day I got into audiophile world I haven't try iTunes no more. Today because of a friend asking for help on album artworks I opened my iTunes and played some songs in 320kbps. Guess what? It sounds sucky compared to Winamp Clarity and dynamic are what noticeably worse. Does iTunes...

I had not known about the term "texture bass" until making my STAX review and n3rdling jumped in talking about how textured STAX bass is. After a few day I realized what he was talking about Few days ago when I was traveling I put on my CK7 after a long while and I was like "What the heck...

I'm having an iPhone 3GS and Gamma-2. I had Gamma-1 Lite before. My house mate has a Macbook Pro 2009 which I can listen to extensively and I have a Sony Vaio FW. I rank their DAC in the following order: Sony Vaio FW (really sucks!!!) - iPhone 3GS (sucks!!!) - Macbook Pro (very nice for...

I'm wanting to buy a L/R RCA male cable to connect my Gamma-2 to SRM-252A. Budget is $30. I'm also wanting to buy a UBS to Mini-USB to connect from my Sony Vaio to my Gamma-2. Budget is $30. At least I want them to look better than my Seagate external USB cord that I'm using right now and...

It's been seven hours and fifteen days... Since my Stax SRS-2050A was delivered I have been spending about 100 hours with the system so far so I can do a tiny review and quick comparison on it. Happy reading Background I'm just into Audiophile world for just about 6 months. At that time...

Ok guys. My Stax system is doing much much much better than I expected. Honestly I could not find any weakness of them until today when I try some Nu-metal, Hip-Hop and R&B. They are not for those modern music to my ears so I'm looking for a complement of my Stax. To be more specific, I need...

YouTube - Joe Bonamassa - Ballad of John Henry This guy always wear that Ultrasone in every clip. Which one is that?

I know there are bunch of threads talking about this topic already but this one is different (if no one had ever posted it before) AKG K701 K702 My favorite one: SRS-2050A Porta Pro XB700 DT990 ATH-ESW9 Beats by Dr. Dre UE TF10 HD650 RS-1...

My STAX is here!!! Wow it looks a lot better in person. I thought this phone will be my worst looking phone but clearly it's not Out of the box everything is so cool. I put it in, w/ iPhone 3GS as a source and 320kbps songs and I notice almost right away that detais are way better than my...

People say Grado is the best option for rock. Why? Since a lot of my listening is rock (metal, hard rock, R&R, blues, alternative...) and STAX is kinda a risky purchase when it comes to rock, I'm thinking of getting the first Grado in my life. SR80 or SR125 I think. But I'm curious to know...

At moderate volume level... Does that damage your headphone's drivers? How fragile do you guys think the drivers are

Edit: Plz never mind about the title Well sorry about my wallet first I'm looking into STAX world these days and I'm kinda interested in SRS 2050II. So can you guys help me a little bit on that? Background: I currently have a D7000 and DT880/600 Manufaktur. My future amp will be Woo 6...

I mean, they have pretty a lot of entry level w/ SRS series, around $600 to $1,000 for a earspeaker and dedicated amp. Why don't I see a lot of thread about those systems, Appreciation, STAX vs some top of the line dynamic headphones etc...? An example: Should I go for DT880/600 w/ Woo 6 or...

I'm buying a DT880/600 Manufaktur from Germany website since they have much better and wider options to choose over there. I came down to a very beautiful one but there is one thing I'm confused. There are parts w/ Walnut Burl option and I don't know if it's real wood or it's just the finish is...
