    Android phones and USB DACs

    Hmmm... I wonder if the Samsung Galaxy Nexus supports it. That's my phone. I have an ODAC arriving today, so I'll give it a shot.

    The Wizard Appreciation Thread - Long Live the Wizard - The former HA Appreciation Thread

    Quote:   I ought to do that. At this point it's kind of pointless, though, since they're out for delivery today.   Incidentally, I live near Charlotte too. Small world! I missed that headphone meetup that happened a few months ago, though :/

    Quote:   I apologize. When it said *one day remaining* and it showed the status as being on the westcoast and the destination set to Idaho, and then when I called UPS and they told me the full address was a mixture of my street address and another state, I thought for sure that it was in...

    Quote:   I've got a similar issue... I got a tracking number for the UPS shipment, but under the 'destination' area of the tracking page it has been set to deliver to Idaho, while I live in NC. I asked and they contacted UPS and apparently this is something that UPS did as a temporary...

    MP3 Debate: 320CBR vs V0

    Old thread, but I just stumbled across it.   Look, the fact of the matter is that the output (even outside of high/low frequency ranges) is not bit-identical between lossy and uncompressed audio. Now, will anyone notice those differences? That isn't as simple to answer as "yes" or "no" - it...

    Quote:   Those look great! The glow-in-the-dark logo sounds interesting. Once you get them I'd love to see a picture of them in a dimly-lit room with flash turned off.

    Quote:   That's correct. I ordered the magnus cable and the stock cable since I wanted to be able to compare them (and it also gives me a spare cable, just in case), and I had to pay a little extra, so the cost of the stock cable is discounted from the magnus cable normally. Everyone's...

    Quote:   Wow. Honestly, I'd be shocked if there's SUCH an improvement that I'd call my IE8s "mud", but I certainly won't be complaining if I do!   Yes, I'll be sure to post with my impressions of the magnus cable as opposed to a stock one. I'm changing around so much with my listening...

    VA / MD / DC meet on Saturday, July 28, 2012

    I'll probably attend. I mostly have IEMs, but I'll bring my AKG k701s along with an O2 amp and ODAC from JDS Labs.   Edit: Sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make it.

    Ah crap, IE8's cable is broken -_-

    It's been some time since head-fi sucked me back into its money-burning clutches, but now that I'm back for a while I thought I'd follow up to my post about the IE8s.   The cleaning tool that comes with the IE8 has a side that can be used to adjust the bass dial. It will almost fit between...

    I've got a pair of 8As on order - they just received my molds the other day. I'll be posting my impressions once they arrive. I'm also trying to add a magnus cable, a magnus intra-connect cable for my amp and dac which are on order and a stock IEM cable onto the order, so I'll try to give some...

    place to demo headphones in Washington DC

      Quote:   I think you're referring to ear-head.com   I just bought an AKG k701 there the other day. Frank Diaz was very, very helpful. He's got a nice listening room and he patiently let me try several pairs of headphones I was interested in (sennheiser 600s, grados, and the AKG)...

    Ah crap, IE8's cable is broken -_-

    I'm having this problem too. The left side often drops out...almost half the times I put them in, and I'm as gentle as I possibly can be with them.   I've tried reseating the cables, cleaning the connectors, etc... nothing helps. I can "fix" it temporarily by reaching up and using my...

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    Quote: I just uninstall the Asus Xonar entry from add/remove programs, rebooted, pulled up device manager and confirmed that it hadn't found the old driver and then installed the new one.   Definitely try this first! Just removing a device in device manager doesn't delete windows'...
