New speakers
both of the ones you mention are the correct product, and the g2 is just short for generation 2. If they're the same price I'd go for the g2's but I don't think there's much difference between them. I actually had some trouble finding anything from audinst as well. You can buy it from...- idontevenknow

New speakers
As nobody has responded yet, I guess I'll put in my opinion. I personally use an Audinst HUD-MX1 DAC/amp (~$150) and a pair of KRK rokit 5s (~$150 each). Now it's true that this doesn't include a subwoofer, and is at about $450, but I've never thought that they needed it. This makes for a very...- idontevenknow

uDAC-2 replacement
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but just in case someone is looking for this same thing in the search, I ended up an Audinst HUD-MX1 and am very much enjoying it.- idontevenknow

uDAC-2 replacement
Quote: I actually just put in a review for it, but I had one for a month before it died. they sent me a refurb last october or november and it just died on me this week. So technically I've had two and they've lasted me 1 month and about 15 months respectively- idontevenknow

uDAC-2 replacement
So, I've just had my uDAC die on me, and I'm looking for a replacement/maybe slight upgrade. I've been looking at the iBasso D7, but it seems that the RCA out isn't controlled by the volume knob, which I was a big fan of. What are everyone's suggestions for sub $150 ($200 if I need to) amp/dac...- idontevenknow

Review by 'idontevenknow' on item 'NuForce Icon uDAC-2 (Black) USB DAC (24bit/96kHz) and Headphone Amplifier'
I first bought the uDAC2 in the fall of 2010, and it blew me away with its quality as it was the first decent source I'd ever listened to. Sadly It stopped working within about a month. I returned it with it's cable under warranty and received a refurb model. Sadly, this new one wasn't sent to...- idontevenknow

nuforce udac-2 or something cheaper?
If you really don't want to spend more on a dac than your headphones (which is perfectly reasonable) you could always get something like the little usb sound cards turtle beach makes. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829118008&cm_re=turtle_beach-_-29-118-008-_-Product I'm...- idontevenknow

Headphones that sound most like Grado's...but aren't
If you want circumaural grados, your best bet is going to be to just buy some grados and mod them. check out http://gilmore2.chem.northwestern.edu/projects/showfile.php?file=grado_prj.htm and look at the sock mod. it's an (apparently, I haven't tried it) easy mod that can turn most grados into...- idontevenknow

audio gd sparrow or ibasso d4?
Hey head-fiers. I've been lurking on this site for a while but I've come across a dilemma that searching hasn't really been able to help me with, so I figured I'd join and get my questions answered directly. So, since I recently moved to college, I've realized that I needed a nice set of...- idontevenknow
