    So, 2 yrs ago the HUD100 mk2 was my favorite cheap USB DAC...

    ..... now what? Accuracy, fun, spacious sound, smooth, deep to the center of the earth, foundation-cracking dynamics... OK all of that's a little exaggerated but only a little.. and all for $120-ish The maker was "Radsone" or "Earstudio" and they don't make DACs anymore, it seems? In today's...

    Cable upgrade for K-702?

    Blast from the present - I couldn't find more recent threads on AKG 702 cable upgrades.  Has anybody tried FortuneCat Upgrade/Replacement Cable/Cord 59-Inches from Amazon? Thanks, Hukk

    Earbuds Round-Up

    OK, so how do the Sennheiser MX-985 sound?   Direct into my iPhone 4S, they sound great.  They completely crush the Apple i-anything white earbuds, which actually sound very good if you use the black fuzzies which keep them more secure in your ears.  The MX985 have much better bass, dynamics...

    Will a pricey Line Out Dock make a difference w/ MX-985 and JDS C5?

    Earbuds Round-Up

      UPDATE:  Sennheiser USA says these earbuds are genuine.  I never could use the Chinese website, so I mailed them to Sennheiser in CT.  They were VERY nice, friendly and helpful.   Happy Ending.  Whew.  Bigbargainonline, sorry I doubted you.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I just received my MX985 new in box.  I went to the Sennheiser website you mentioned. But, there is no way to authenticate.  This box does not have the sticker that they show in their video.  It has nothing that says "QR CODE" anywhere that I can find. Can anybody help? There are five --...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Just bought a pair of MX-985 from Ebay, for $159 including shipping, from Hong Kong.   Of course, I am sweating with fear that these will be counterfeit.   Will report back, once I've received and attempted to verify on Sennheiser's website.   Cheers! -Hukk

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Is there a way to tell if you are getting real vs. fake MX-980's?   I'm in the U.S.  and have these options:   EBAY:    - $136 new in box from Australia    - $187 new from Australia    - $210 - $225 from S. Korea -- all these prices seem very low for new MX-980s??   AMAZON:    -...
