    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Sorry my thread searching skills aren't super great, but i've been using the BE detachable cable version for a couple months and I have had nothing but issues with the cable. I've tried 3 different types of aftermarket cables, balanced and SE, and from different sources. No matter what I do, the...

    Schiitcago 2017 - 9/17/17

    If I can safely transport it I'll try and bring my Holo Spring KTE lvl3 for comparing to Yggy if people are interested in that? I'd personally like to try feeding it with Eitr (if there's gonna be one there) vs my SU-1. Also, does anyone know if there will be Stax amps there? If so I'll bring...

    The Stax Thread III

    Hi, I am in a similar boat. I have 007mk2 SZ3 that are only a few months old (USA warranty purchased from Yama originally) with channel imbalance/distortion in one ear. Does anyone know the email to reach out to stax japan to get the process rolling for a repair? I don't mind shipping them to...

    DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view

    I'm interested in hearing more about this from either Denafrips themselves or someone who owns a Pontus/Venus/Terminator that can confirm the type of caps used in it. I'm also curious if there's any knowledge about the clock implementation on Pontus/Venus/Terminator. Pontus manual has no...

    DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view

    Very interested in hearing about Pontus if/when someone has heard it. A comparison of Pontus vs Holo Spring would be divine as those are the two DACs i'm trying to decide between. Has anyone dealt with Denafrips support at all yet? I'm curious what their warranty/support is like, and if...

    Closed-Back Over Ear Planar/Orthos?

      Yeah, I haven't read that they are bad, just that their sound-stage and imaging isn't quite up to par with the Alpha Dog (which the non-prime version can be had for less than PM-3 if you are patient and look around).   Does anyone know of any soon-to-be-release Closed Planars in the works...

    Closed-Back Over Ear Planar/Orthos?

    Hey guys,   I just got a Fiio X7 a bit ago with the AM3 balanced module.  I currently only have a pair of DT770s (250ohm) for my "portable" usage. I'm looking to up the game a bit because I now have a hi-fi portable source (unforunately my old portable dac/amp died about a year ago and I...

    Official X7 beta firmware (Android 5.1) download and discussion thread -- FW3.0.6 beta

    I've been using my X7 happily with the FW.3.0.1 for about a week. Today it started crashing spectacularly (without me changing anything).  It will only play random songs from my library. it usually crashes and does the "no audio output" but within 30 seconds, and then locks up entirely and I...

    Audio-GD NFB-3 (2014) ES9018 DAC

    Mine should be arriving either tonight or tomorrow, I will post impressions.   For the time being I will be using the RCA outs on it, to a little dot 1+ and some trubulent x magnums in wood cups i made.   I eventually will be getting an nfb-6 (paired via acss) and some hifiman 560s to pair...

    Place to buy 8-pin DIP flying leads?

    Thanks for the responses.  Basically, the chassis my boards are in are way to small to allow clearance of burson hd op amps and the audio-gd earth op amps.    One application is for on a soundcard, and I actually had to remove my machine's power supply in order to get the card in with the...

    Place to buy 8-pin DIP flying leads?

    Hey guys,   I have tried searching the forums, digikey, mouser, ebay, partsexpress and other common audio sites for these, and i can't seem to find them.   I need some 8-pin DIP flying leads (extension cables).  I can only seem to find them as add-ons on sites that sell op amps (like...
