Welcome to the SchiitShow!
I'm hoping for a nice big boombox.... Something that merges source, dac, and amp with today's cutting edge technology. A big unit that you can proudly carry on your shoulder; that lets your neighbors enjoy your music with you. It would be a statement piece. As they say, what's old...- Dannek

Reply to review by 'dannek' on item 'FiiO X5 2nd gen Premium Hi-Res DAP'
Yes, thank you very much for your review. I have been considering getting an X3ii and was curious as to how it compared to the X5ii. Your comparison is much appreciated. And thanks for bringing a smile to my face by using "Mediterranean Sundance" as a comparative song. I was introduced to...- Dannek

Looking For Headphones $400 And Under
If you have a Best Buy near you with a magnolia attached (most do) then you may be able to hear the Sennheiser Momentum 2 Over ear headphones. Plenty of bass and they are a closed headphone. They may also have the Denon AH-D600 which is also a bass strong closed headphone in that price range...- Dannek

Philips Fidelio X2?!
I would agree with this, and add that personally I couldn't lay on a pillow in bed or on a couch with any full size headphones. Years ago, I used to sometimes run 24 hour taping sessions in my apartment. If I got tired, I'd have to switch to IEM's when I wanted to lay back on a pillow on my...- Dannek

Rank the most accurate headphones you've heard.
I do not have the experience to answer your question, but it made me think about something which raised a question in my mind... How does "tonal balance" relate to "accuracy"? Is it possibly just one aspect that defines accuracy? I ask, as after reading your question I immediately...- Dannek

☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???
Indeed. Congratulations on the first run, Dr. Cavalli. Now all we need is a really nice, well priced DAC to accompany the LC, perhaps from Cavalli Audio....nudge nudge..:) Quote: The page now says "Available now for reservation". I think the "for reservation" was just added.- Dannek

Finding a DAC for the Cavalli Liquid Carbon. Only Four Months to Go.
Thanks for the quick reply. It had been a while since I had read through this whole thread, so I went back and read your posts again. I found your post (#131 on page 9 for those interested) concerning your tests and your opinion of balanced vs SE inputs, and it was very informative. Thanks...- Dannek

Finding a DAC for the Cavalli Liquid Carbon. Only Four Months to Go.
Stillhart, if I may inquire.. I was looking at the NFB-28 and NFB-1 after reading what you wrote above, and I came upon the DAC-19 anniversary edition. I found a thread about it and I saw some of your posts in that thread. Do you feel that the DAC-19 would be a better choice than the...- Dannek

☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???
I hear you..lol. I'm relatively new to this game and perhaps there is a better term to use. I was quoting the term as I had seen it used recently as well. I consider musical to be something (amp, source, headphones) or combination of things, that makes you just forget yourself in the...- Dannek

☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???
Although I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the LC yet, after reading the many posts from the SoCal Can Jam meet and the Nashville meet concerning the LC, it seemed that the amp was often described, when paired with the ethers at least, as being very musical and having a high quality...- Dannek

☯️ Cavalli Audio's Liquid Carbon... a $599 Cavalli amp???
All we have to go on at this point is the information that Alex Cavalli posted in the thread announcing the start of the pre-sale of the Liquid Carbon. As quoted..- "If there are future runs, we will probably have to adjust price to better reflect cost. It's possible that this could be in...- Dannek

Recommendations for a portable setup for the gym and general exercise.
Thanks again for your input Cel. I looked at your link and was overwhelmed by the vast choice in IEM's at each price point. I was concerned that I might make this more of a project than I need to, if I started really digging into reviews and analyzing small differences between lots of...- Dannek

Recommendations for a portable setup for the gym and general exercise.
Thanks for the replies, they are much appreciated. I'll take a look at the Sansa Clip series. Do either of you have any recommendations for IEM's? I would like to get a good set that don't need a portable amp to perform well. I'd spend up to around $200. for IEM's for this purpose. ...- Dannek
