Interesting read. Very few of the highly regarded headphones survived this battle. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/one-enthusiasts-take-top-line-headphones-state-flagships

Title really says it all.    I have it plugged in via USB to the computer, and the headphones plugged into the front of the device into the headphone plug. Do I need a separate 3.5 mm cable from the back of the aune t1 either plugged from my computer into the audio input/output plugin?  ...

I am looking to grab one of these two DACs for the sole purpose of their ability as DACs. I have a little dot mkII that I enjoy that I plan on running off one of these DACs, I just need opinions on these two products. Thanks!

Hello All,   I just hooked up a DragonFly to my Windows 8 pc setup (passive speakers and amp) and totally cannot hear any improvements at all.   I believe the manual suggests pc volume at 25% to max, media player (I'm using foobar) to 100% and then I guess use my amp's volume manually??? ...

Is there anybody who has listened to the Maestral One, Two or Three? I recently discovered this company and everything looks very interesting and I am thinking about ordering model Two or Three but there is not much to read about it yet on the internet, all though they claim to have delivered...

After some research for TubeAmps that are good for low impedance headphones, I cut down the options to these 3:   Aune T1 - http://www.head-fi.org/t/633006/aune-t1-usb-tube-dac-amp-discussion-thread-see-first-post-for-faq Little Dot I+...

Yeah, best title. Hi, everyone. I'm contemplating between those in the title.   DAC\Amp: This will be my first DAC\Amp. I've read good things about both. I'm leaning towards the Aune T1 because of the modularity of the tubes and the fact that I can just upgrade the Amp in the future and still...

For $200 or less, what would you pick if the #1 priority was minimal listening fatigue? - something I can keep on 12 hours a day?  I know what causes fatigue for me is high frequency shrillness.  I like a nice liquid midrange and don't mind giving up detail.  Or should I just stick with my...

I currently use the FiiO E07k and E12 combo for my desktop and portable needs. The headphones I only need amping for is the AKG Q701 and Fostex T50RP. I haven't "been there" in terms of hearing my Q's and T50's with a high-end amplifier, and I'm pretty satisfied with the E12. However, will...

So I've downgraded my setup, sold my HE-6, sold my Audio GD DI and Audio GD ES9018 DAC and 110wpc Yamaha speaker amp... I purchased the HE-400 based on the black friday sale, and I'm looking to pair it with a new dac and amp. I'm looking at the Schiit Modi/Vali combo and the Aune T1 The things...

With Beyer changing the velour earpads from its DT880/990 series to the microfiber earpads in the T1/T90, do you think it is an improvement or a step back?   Which do you think is more comfortable and more suitable for long time listening?   Beyer owners throw in your views!

Hey guys, I have ordered a pair of he500s which should be here this friday and i will be pairing with an aune t1 so hopefully it will be a good pairing as id rather not have to purchase a new amp/dac!!    Anyways, I am contemplating investing in a decent tube to replace the stock tube but...

plz do not put much attention on my bad poor English. And,could you plz tell me how much it cost in the US. 

Do you have secondary headphones to complement your headphone collection with or are you satisfied with them? Personally I love them, although they can be a bit intense if Im not in the mood for it. It would be good to have a secondary pair to alter the sound a bit when needed.

Thought I would make a thread about ELE DACs. I just order the ELE DAC EL-D01 and ELE DAC EL-D02, they are currently on the slow boat from China. Anyone else on Head-Fi use these DACs? Have any comments on them.

Are the Matrix M-Stage Headphone Amp and Aune T1 Headphone Tube DAC and Amp any good? I'm planning on getting either the AKG Q701 or the AKG K702, for gaming, music and movie usage.   Thanks!

nvm

Hi Guys    I don't have much knowledge of headphones and amps or how to match the two, so any information would help, basically i have the Bowers and Wilkins P5's and have bought the Aune T1 amp. Will the amp be fine to use with these headphones as the impedance of the P5's are 26ohms and...

Hey guys, I have an Aune T1 paired with the he500s and although i would love a schiit lyr + bii frost combo, i cant afford it right now but iam looking to replace the stock rube of the aune t1 with something better that will enhance/improve the sound ?? Any recommendations? and if so can you...

So I got my Aune T1 in today from the "recent" Massdrop GB and I'm having a few issues setting it up so far. No matter what I did to set it up for Windows Audio (Youtube, Teamspeak, etc), eg, adjusting the output properties, it always had a bit of a crackle. So I dug a bit on google looking for...

Hey guys,I recently bought the he500s and they are being driven by the Aune t1 which seems like a pretty decent little combo,Iam considering buying a better amp/dac combo but would it be worth the investment? Ami going to get an improvement in sound quality? or should i just stick with the Aune...

Hey there, I'm very pleased with my new HE400, great listening experience. Thought about building a budget tube amp (<200$). I need your help choosing the right one. A kit is better than schematics for me. From the basic knowledge I've got on headphones I know that the HE400 have a low...

I'm on a budget but want to get some Senn HD600's. I'm not so nieve to believe I don't need an amp with a little power, but I'm realistic to know I can't spend more than $200 on an amp. I currently have a Fiio E10, but would this be enough. I know Fiio is cheap so how about the new E12 or the...

Hi guys,   I've finally decided to get a proper headphone amp. This will be my first ever amp and I want to start with something not too pricey but still a good performer. From my limited research, both those amps have tons of praises especially for their bang per bucks.    Personally...

I just bought the Aune T1 DAC of Ebay. I expect it in the next few weeks. I'm just curious how nice you guys think this will sound with my Audio Technica ATH-M50's. I posted the specs below of both devices.    Aune T1 specs: http://i.imgur.com/m6nrYP5.png Audio Technica ATH-50'S...
