what was your experience switching between headphones and speakers?
I finally got a set of speakers, and I don't regret it. Still love the detail I can get out of headphones, but especially with some recordings, the sound stage from open air speakers can be outstanding. Still love the fact that I can have 3 different headphones to choose from depending on...- mgh24

what was your experience switching between headphones and speakers?
Thanks for the responses. @Claypole - Room acoustics is definitely a concern for me, not a lot of options, but can already tell a big difference in sub placement, even with limited options, and the speakers I have are very limited when off-axis, at least from tweeters. @dunring - neighbors... -
what was your experience switching between headphones and speakers?
I have been listening exclusively to headphones for the last 8-10 years I would guess. Pulled out my old-ish HT towers, that I used to think sounded OK, but they do not, at least compared to what I get out of my headphones. Speakers being subjected to all the weird acoustic properties of a...- mgh24

amp with RCA and USB inputs?
I looked through the Schiit website, could not see anything that had both. Maybe I missed something? Do you have a model you have seen that has both? Thanks- mgh24

amp with RCA and USB inputs?
I have an RME ADI-2 that I like very much. It has 3 inputs, USB, optical, and COAX. I want to connect an SACD player to the amp, but now understand that SACD will not play at full resolution via optical inputs. A hybrid SACD/CD will play, but it is only able to output the CD layer when using...- mgh24

I would call these excellent condition, but there are a couple of minor flaws. There is a scuff mark of some kind on left ear cup, but it takes some time for me to find it. You can see in photo that the sides of the amp has some scuff marks. They do not look as bad as they show up in the...- mgh24

Does Mac O/S handle DAC same as Windows?
Thank you! So I misunderstood, for the last 4-5 years, what my PC was doing!! Now, as I am reading about different software players, I read people stating that the software is affecting the sound of the file. Again, something I understood was taken care of by bypassing PC directly to DAC -...- mgh24

Does Mac O/S handle DAC same as Windows?
Probably a silly question, but I have a Mac mini, and Mac OS is still a mystery to me. As I understand it, with my Windows machine, as long as I select my DAC as output device, it bypasses all processing done by the PC, just sends digital file to stand alone DAC to do it's job. Is the same...- mgh24

Excellent condition, would guess less than 100 hours on them. Non-smoking home. There are some very slight scuffs on the amp (not sure where they even came from). You can see them when holding the amp and looking for them, but not visible when amp is on a shelf. Cannot see any flaws on the...- mgh24

anyone else having issues with search function on site?
Trying to search in the "headphones for sale" forum. Search for "Sennheiser" returns results starting at 2016, and jumping around from there, some clear back to 2004, but NOT returning results that have just been posted in the last day or two. I can see there are posts when I am paging through...- mgh24

Topping D50
From all I can find, there is no way to change the information displayed on the screen? What I think would be ideal would be do have the sample rate etc. displayed as the largest part of the display, rather than the volume.- mgh24

Sparkos Labs Op Amps Would you spend $150 or less to gain a 10% or more improvement from your amp?
I got back in to headphones about 5 years ago. In that time I have bought and sold more headphones than I want to try and count. More recently I have tired several different headphone amps. Both headphones and amps are what most would call mid-fi. I have wanted to try a Burson amp for some...- mgh24

My AKG comparison K7XX, K712, 65th Annies and the rest! to stop this confusion!
That sounds like a nice combo. I can have 701 sound sig or 712 with simple switch of the pads. I like that idea, though I am a huge fan of Grado RS2e, so unsure adding an AKG would be a smart thing to do :)- mgh24

Just received my used HE-560 V2. Have not spent much time with them yet, but running through a Teac HA-501, I am very impressed. They extend way down, which pleases me :) And as near as I can tell so far, the bass is not covering up the mids. I don't have the most trained ear, but other HPs...- mgh24

So there really is no way to know if you are getting an Adorama set, unless they are silver. A seller can have wood veneer w/2.5, and I would have no way of knowing :(- mgh24

When you say "the previous ones", you mean previous to Adorama models? Adorama did not make one with wooden-like cups and 2.5 jack?- mgh24
