Cayin N30LE DAP: A Transformative Milestone (30th Anniv. Limited Edition)
Just want to go back in time a bit, and applaud this responsiveness and customer service. This is how it's done by a vendor who cares about their customer base. I've been buying Cayin since the first A-88T integrated amp came out, and still have the 688R...- Bwright

Rank the best sounding daps that you heard
This is a great thread for folks like me - you're opening up a new universe of possibilities, and appreciate all the perspectives and reviews. I'd gladly offer up a list of rankings, but haven't had the opportunity to audition many DAPs, as the local dealer I support only carries desktop items...- Bwright

Hifiman HE-1000 coming
Agreed, but that's what I was told. The personnel in the HiFiMan room were uniformly kind and helpful, so if it was possible, I'm sure they would have done so.- Bwright

Hifiman HE-1000 coming
You make a good point. I usually compare headphones as a group on a dedicated, relatively neutral system. That is how I arrived on the HE-500s some time back (I liked them over the HE-6, the HE-5, and the Audeze LCD-2 and LCD-3). This kind of test wasn't possible, given the dedicated amp...- Bwright

Hifiman HE-1000 coming
I agree, and that's actually what I meant by "stronger amp" in my earlier comment. It was more related to sound qualities that I personally favor. The CES HE-1000 set-up in the Venetian was excellent, but was missing a few small elements that I enjoy in an amp. Just a touch more warmth and...- Bwright

Hifiman HE-1000 coming
The dedicated headphone jack/power arrangement is the one limiting factor. If I recall correctly, it similar to the Stax plug setup, but didn't pay much attention as I was more focused on hearing them. The headphones imparted a great three dimensional image, but I did feel they could really...- Bwright

Hifiman HE-1000 coming
I was at CES 2015, and man, these sounded great. Wonderful air, imaging and presence - more like a quality floorstanding loudspeaker. The headphone was incredibly comfortable, and the design and finish were top notch. And in terms of sound quality, the headphones were a bit better than the Stax...- Bwright

Review by 'Bwright' on item 'HiFiMAN HE-500'
I made the trip to CES and T.H.E. last year, and had the chance to review these against the HiFiMan HE-5 and HE-6, Sennheiser HD 650 and HD 800, and the Audeze LCD-2 and LCD-3. I was looking to select a single set of dedicated system headphones, and settled on the HE-500. It has an interesting...- Bwright
