Hi, Since you say this would be for use at home, I would recommend listening to these before buying, and compare to some closed cans and maybe IEMs (if you are comfortable with those) in the price range. ANC can be great for flights, commute, etc, but it is a compromise for most people on here...

Oh yes, those were the days :D I played Quake 1, or actually Quakeworld, for ever and ever. I was decent at 4v4 clan play, but I was one of the top duelers and above all 2v2 players in my region (northern europe). Those crazy Swedes somehow always beat you though, the skill was just insane. I...

Ok, that's very helpful, thanks. I was under the impression that you needed to use those radio things for multiple headphones. Looks like I have some research to do :)

Hi guys,   Question on LDAC: Does anyone know if LDAC supports or will support multiple headphones for home theater? That's quite a bit of bandwith, should be possible…   I want to get a set of wireless headphones that are great for traveling but also works for watching movies with the wife...

Hint 2, for people with autism: On november 7th, take all the guesses and put them in an excel sheet. Sort and find the 3 values that are furthest removed from any other value already guessed. This way you maximize your chance of getting the closest guess...

  Yeah, someone else told me already, thanks!   I guess I'm just used to think of a church like a serene, austere place. In fact it makes sense for traditional church buildings as well, since the extreme acoustic reverb can make performing more difficult without in-ears.

  That would be Blue Hawaii SE, http://www.head-fi.org/t/439657/headamp-blue-hawaii-special-edition and Stax SR-009. Arguably the best (and possibly most expensive) sound out of a headphone south of the new $50k Sennheiser Orpheus.

  Are you saying that for JH Layla you prefer the MBP to the Mojo?

How do you guys reckon the dp-x1 compares value-wise to ak100ii for $460 over at massdrop? That's a pretty competitive price.   The drop ended now, was limited to 75 units that flew off the shelves, but there's already a lot of requests for another go.

@nbarbard36 Great writeup, thanks.   I'm getting a high-end in-ears setup next year, and this is way up there on my list. I can't believe these aren't getting more attention. Is it because they don't have 14 drivers? This is the new version of the legendary UERM, which still is a point of...

    Take advantage of the potential HD800s/HD800S confusion, and you might get a good price for your HD800s :D

Ok, disregarding :-)   New to massdrop.

1699,- on massdrop. About 30% off seems like a good deal even in the now crowded high-end DAP market.

Yeah I'm guessing since this is groundbreaking tech that noone else is touching just yet (as far as we know), Shure will stick to this price point for now. The only thing that could get the price down would be very slow sales. Something tells me that's not going to be a problem here.

 

  I gather from reviews and what I hear that the Hugo plays well with the A12 in terms of detail, soundstage and imaging. I've also seen the DX100 mentioned as a good match. I don't know about "general view" though - maybe it's too soon?   Except for these observations the Mojo seems near...

MD Username: Yubacore   I'd like to se HD800!

    I'm thinking along these lines as well, kse1500 or mojo+ciem. Though not sure about which ciem it would be.   From what I gather, the Chord Mojo pairs better with K10 or Layla/Angie, so I'm not as sure as you are. The Mojo+ADEL combo works fine apparently, but I haven't seen anyone...

How do these pair up with the Mojo?

  Getting a smartphone could be a good idea. They are pretty practical.   Good camera on a budget(y) phone: Sony z5 compact http://www.mobiles.co.uk/sony-xperia-z5-compact-black.html Expandable memory, should be a good match for the mojo size-wise, and it's 23mp camera is about as good as it...

    Sure, but this only mentions that volume was set lower on the source to reach their preferred listening level (as far as I can tell, I read it pretty fast), something I've read in several comments. I'd argue that "less juice" from the source producing more volume in the ADEL doesn't really...
