Thx for the review. Looking for something simple in a dac+amp package for the office, will definitely try to demo this unit.

So, are the PMs in most cases "actually sent", but we just (for whatever reason it may be) do not see it listed as sent by us ?   In case this is browser related, I'm using Firefox with noscript. And I have enabled head-fi (and not sure if it's related to this page, but I see a yahooapi...

I'm experiencing the same thing as grokit

  Quote:   Not sure if I'm reading this right, but are you saying that you took mp3s and converted them to FLAC/other lossless file types? The files that come out as a result of this conversion, at best have the same information they had as mp3s (a lossy codec).

whoa, been gone for awhile and now it seems that there's a few new ones to try out : D Heard the eq-7 recently, and the sony MDR-EX1000 recently. Too short a listen to have a concrete impression, but liking what I heard.

HF'er here gone abroad for some study. Monster's just entering the market here. It's a bit harder to try out their smaller, more portable, stuff like the Turbines whereas the Beats are more often on display.   My current setup is mostly on-the-go listening via iPod touch 4th gen, 64gb with...

hi  : D

^ how many sticks of ram did it take to hit 32?

I myself like foobar too.  Will admit mine's still quite ugly, as I haven't taken the time to make it look good. When I need...I still deal with the sluggish iTunes (win 7 64bit,  core i7, 4gb ram... thanks apple) to sync apps/music.

I would say, from DIY style choices -> Dynalo, CK2III, M3 Not as familiar with the newer commercial offerings, but the Headamp gilmore lite + dps should do the job well.  This is all in the range of 500 or less. I'm not familiar with the stuff past this price range.   Do consider the...

I would recommend an M3 (similar to what I'm selling), but particularly one with a bass boost ( not what I'm selling =/  ).   Back when I had a heed canamp, I very much liked the pairing of the k701 with it, didn't like it as much with the glite //  however, my both my DAC and amp were...

May I ask where this store is/do they let you try the amps in store? Wish I had a store near me with this kind of selection.   My audio technicas generally seem pretty easy to amp.  One of my issue was amps with high gain though, it limited the mount I could turn on the volume knob before...

it's been awhile since I've had the k70x,  don't quite remember the length of the band.   However I do remember the headband was pretty stiff, whereas the k240 sextetts have a much softer one that would adhere more to the shape of your head. So if the fit issue on the k701 in any way relates...

that's a mighty selection of amps you have at hand.  I look forward to your impressions, especially with the CK2III.
