I just upgraded from my Schiit Jotunheim 1 to a Magnius/Modius stack and noticed that my Bass Boost option in audio options under Enhancements went away and now my only option for bass boost is from Dolby Atmos. The differences I'm asking about specifically is that Dolby Atmos limits me to only...

I'm selling off some gear and hopefully it'll result in enough funds to get me a Stax setup. My current goal is for the Stax L700 and the SRM-353X or there about. That said, would the other energizers be worth considering a massive upgrade over the other? Or should I just go with the SRM-252S...

Right now I have two cables.. an 8 core silver and a 4 core silver. Both have great qualities with the 4 core being more portable and on the go friendly but the 8 core sounds better.   If I were to swap the cables out often what would the durability be on the MMCX connector? Is it something I...

Does anyone know of good ultra portable tweezers for the rare but potential case when your tip may come off inside your ear while out and about?    Hoping to find a pair that was small enough to fit inside the case of the IEM's (i.e. Altoids tin, etc). Looking at something like Uncle Bill's...

My wife wanted me to look around for some either headphones or in ears that supported BT and are Waterproof. Built quality and sound quality are always important but also the price matters. I know anything under $100 is pretty much going to be garbage but thought I'd ping you guys to see if...

I've been working on and posting over in the LCD-XC Appreciation thread over in the summit-fi area. Anyways I thought I'd share it with the rest of ya.    These are just progress shots for now. Takes some work but it's easy. Not really advertising just trying to see if this type of thing is...

I'm in the market for a new IEM. Most likely I'll be using them when active but sound quality is also important. The times I'll be using them most is at the gym, doing yard work (mowing, etc), and just random times when IEMs are convenient.     My reference cans are the LCD-XC's which I...

I know it's fairly easy to export a playlist to Tidal from Spotify but what about the other way around?    I have been building up a fairly large playlist in Tidal that I'd like to move over to my Spotify for mobile use. Looks like my only option so far is to just switch them over song by song. 

I'm not trolling or anything. My intent is just to share an interesting video I found on reddit.com/r/audiophile   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bd99cADk70

Looking to grab a shorter K712 cable but was wondering if I could just look at the K701.

Right now I'm on the fence between:   Schiit Bifrost Uber + Lyr 2.0   OR   ALO Island + Schiit Mjolnir     Right now my setup is an Asus Essence STU (Muse) and a Valhalla 1.5 (tube rolling but no gain switch) with my HE560's. The HE560's struggle a little with the Valhalla but I LOVE...

I have a Valhalla and was wondering if it was powerful enough to juice the HE560's properly. I just got the HE560's and they sound great but I am not knowledgeable enough to know the ins and outs of powering this stuff. I love the Valhalla with all of my other cans, especially my cheaper stuff...

Quick question but what would the best way to go about adding EQ to my current setup?   PC (flac/spotify)  > USB or SPDIF - Asus Essence STU (Muses upgrade) > Schiit Vahalla > HD800 or SE846   I know my easiest suggestion is just to get another amp that has more bass which is what I'm...

Just saw this over on reddit and thought I'd share:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gyvipBs6Vs   Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2atzpg/cleaning_a_vinyl_record_with_wood_glue_wait_for/

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair and cannot decide...   Just got my wife a pair of 215's and I was highly impressed. Figured I'd go and get myself my own pair.    215's sound great but was going to opt for the LTD version with enhanced bass BUT was debating whether the 315's were...

I'm considering a used pair for around $1000-1100 and a DAC/Amp stack or combo with the rest and/or cables. I've checked considered a few amps and days and will likely go with the Lyr/Bifrost Uber via USB or just stick with optical out. I mostly listen to metal and rock and while I know...

Thoughts? Wondering if the WA7 is worth the difference for my HD800's and also what the difference in sound would be? 

I'm looking for a good amp + DAC. Combo units are fine. My source will be from my PC most of the time but I may also use my Samsung S4 OTG for semi portable.    I'm looking to keep everything around $1000 because my total budget is about $2000 and I'm hoping to find a good used pair of HD800's...

I've loved the KSC75 for years and their sound sig is one of my favorites. I'm hoping to upgrade to something similar but with more presence and detail. I have a pair of grado sr60s with Lpads but I still keep coming back to the KSC75. I do like how the sr60s have more impact if even not quite...

I'm in the market again for some higher end universal fit IEMs and was wondering what the word is on the street about the models listed above.   I've owned a set of Shure e500's in the past and loved their sound stage and great bass and crisp treble as well as their fit so but I've always...

I'm considering doing some driver swapping... namely swapping out the KSC75 drivers with either an old pair of Sony MDR Sony cans or Bose Triport cans. Would a decent solder kit from rat shack do or would there be a better option? Also is there a preferred metal for soldering? Lead-free...

I was just wondering if there are any good Sennheiser cans that are similar to the 650's but smaller and more lightweight. I am looking at the HD497 or eH350's. I read the eH250's were a little bass heavy... personally I love the booming bass but I like detail just as much. I have...

I've noticed a few posts where people have issues with knowing easily Left and Right sides for their IEMs. I was wanting to share some ideas and receive some as well. First off, the number one way I know Left from Right on a pair of IEMs is as I'm unwrapping from around my Nano I look at the...

Got them today and I've put a few hours on them so far. All I can say is I have never heard any better IEM hands down. If I were to take absolutely everything I love about every IEM I've heard and combined it into 1 this would be it x10. I have not yet heard the UE10's so I really do not have...

Hey crew! I just got into the world of audiobooks and was hoping to find a very comfortable, small and good isolating IEM that I could listen to for hours without any discomfort. Sound quality aside which would be best for what I'm looking for? I have in the past owned a pair of E4G's...
