Hi Y'all   I've been running my Mad Dog headphones through an HRT Music Streamer > Little Dot MK1+ and am thinking about an upgrade.   I'm looking at the Audio gd NFB 28 and Woo Audio WA7 more than anything else although the Schiit Bifrost + Lyr2 stack, Burson Conductor V2+ and Cavalli...

^just joined, only two more needed!

You're right about the DAC. It's quite good for $25, sounds about the same as my HRT Music Streamer 2.   It seems like the general advice I'm getting is to spend the $200 now on an amp and more on a DAC upgrade later. I'll probably get the Little Dot or some other similar tube amp and a...

I'm very confident that I will only ever want USB input for this rig so the other inputs don't add value for me.   It sounds like you're saying a better upgrade path would be Audio-GD dual DAC chips> inexpensive tube amp. Rather than Aune tube DAC> expensive solid state amp?   In that case...

Thanks for the feedback! I've heard good things about Audio-gd before.   I priced the nfb 15 at $290 to my door. Would you say it's $100 better than the Aune T1?   Is it upgradeable? Can I add a better amp and just use the DAC functionality from it and still get a better value than going the...

I'm currently running computer audio through Foobar(WASAPI)> Muse Audio DAC (Cheap USB DAC)> Fiio 09k> Beyer DT880 600 OHM or DT770 250 OHM   I've been thinking about getting an Aune T1 but am not sure it will be enough for the 880.   An alternative I've been looking into is the Little Dot...

In case anybody is now interested in the difference between MODI and MODI 2 due to the $30 price difference, I had the following exchange with Schiit CS today:   Me(2:05):  I know it might be tough for you to answer this question without bias but: I'm thinking of buying a Modi on Amazon, the...

Is the black dragon worth the extra $25.00? I am using iphone 5 to RSA tomahawk to HD25-1 II. I've been trying to find a decent mini to mini with straight plug, trying to keep the costs down, the only reason I'm not getting the headroom 4" cable is the right angle plug. Any other suggestions...

Thanks for the input Mutnat, I actually put the C421 on there because of some comments I read from you about the synergy between the HD 25 and C421. Let me rephrase as upon rereading I definitly could have been more clear on what I want; I already like the sound sig of the HD25-1 II and I...

Hi there, After reading quite a few helpful reviews I have decided to start a thread with the hope of getting some specific info on the combo I am trying to set up.   My source will be an iphone 3Gs primarily or a laptop (so DAC is a bonus)   My music taste is very broad so I want...

Hello!!! thanks for the opportunity!

I have the esw9 and the UE triple.fi 10. Though I paid more for the triple.fi's I would have to say the esw9s have a much higher tier sound signature. The triple.fi's are detailed and vibrant, very quick and in your head. They are suited to a higher tempo and remind me of Grado's I have heard...

    Quote: Every once in a while this feeling rushes in to my mind like a panic attack. Then I ask my nearest friend if I can try out their Bose/Skullcandy/diddybeats/cheap after market 'phones, and the ESW9 hole in my wallet fills with happiness. Speaking of which, t50p > esw9 anyone...

if only i could find an esw10 for a decent price
