Looking at some newer DAC's to try out.  Anyone done any A/B on these two DAC's. Not looking for DAC's with headphone amps built in or any other features. Just sub $1000.00 USD price point DAC's in my future.   The Arcam irDAC has received some nice reviews and so has the Meridian Director...

Understand you were asking about DAC's that have more than one set of XLR balanced outputs onboard. Are you trying to run two devices via balanced outputs at the same time or have two components and want to run/use them 1 at a time?   I'm looking at the following XLR balanced switch box for my...

I am out of town and not with unit, but from recall.   If no-volume on my unit is in the 5 o'clock position and too loud for me w/Senn HD's @ is 12 o'clock position. Find that I'm staying within the 9-11 o'clock position and there is a lot more throttle pedal left, if needed. Don't find any...

After looking in the direction of tube headphone amps, contacted Dennis Had(former owner and founder of Cary Audio) a few weeks back. Found that he is building headphone amps in his retirement days. Never owning any tube audio gear before now, figured his Class A tube headphone amp would be a...

JH audio 8 drivers on those puppies! Interesting for sure. Sounds like some very complex drivers and circuitry in such a small package. I have the budget to custom molded IEM, but not in a noise situation like FOH(front of house) mixing position at a concert or other places where I need that...

As a current IEM owner of Sure 315, 535's  and AKG 3003i's would say the AKG's have the edge over the 535's. If budget is a factor, the Sure 535's is a fantastic IEM for the $$$. Also bought the 535 accessory cord set for i-phone. Find that feature handy for wearing my 535's everyday and answer...

Hello. Followed the site for a bit, read lots of useful information on headphone amps and finally pulled the trigger on one. How many posts does a new member need to have before starting a new thread under the appropriate category?

Why not keep both services independent. Let the two music services operate independent(owned by the same parent company), and take both revenue streams. Let the general public decide which brand and service they like/choose. For many of the average consumer, they will not be fixed on the fact...

Any new updates on this amp? New pots? Nice tube upgrades or any other juicy new updates since? Seems this amp is not getting much airplay.  Is one of the issues the tubes are hidden from view and at least a small allure of tube equipment is a visual stimuli?
