    TOPPING DX1 is available now

    Holy Hell, using this as a Dac to my Asgard. Wowzers!!! Much better then my D10s and Modi+ That Akm Chip just sings. As a Amp it does pretty good as well. I noticed tho it likes high quality files, feed it garbage files/music and it will show them to you. I don't think for $100 you, in my...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    ZMF or Dekoni pads for replacement? Looking at the Elite Fenestrated from both companies. Use Dekoni on my Beyers so I know sound, build etc. How does the ZMF stack up?

    Any V-Shaped 'Fun' Sound Signature Headphone Recommendations?

    Why not just grab a DT770 8o ohm? Should fit the bill pretty good. Can be found pretty cheap online, under $130-150. Or DT990 is you prefer open

    Budget desktop standalone DAC help

    Topping D10s Swap out the Opamp for a Muses and call it a day. Stock opamp has a lot of digital glare, Muses are smooth and musical. Shop around and will set you back under $120 or less. https://www.amazon.com/Topping-D10s-ES9038Q2M-Desktop-Black/dp/B08CZ65188/ $109 Prime it will be at...

    SIVGA SV021 — Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I don't really jump on the new FOTM but I needed another closed headphone. I've got my work horse Dt770s, I personally feel no need to go higher up the chain price wise because IMO (Ears) you don't get much better. Law of returns for me. But I wanted another cheap closed set. I've tried...

    Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread

    Can anyone recommend a replacement volume knob?, Nothing to fancy really needed. My stock knob isn't quite round so it rubs the case around the 11spot.

    New Beyerdynamic Pro X line: DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X

    I'm not a graph guy, I let my ears decide. I'm all in for the 900. My 990's will die with me, so even a slight upgrade will be a welcome. The cable swap is the selling point for me personally. The headband might be in question. I like to replace it easy when it wears out, so we'll have to...

    I thought I was the only one who thought the silver plate sounded weird, maybe a bad plating process on their end? The mix cables sound fabulous. strange! You're right on the bass, I didn't mention it in my quick review but yeah, it's way over done. and very mid-bass forward. Too much for the...

    Ok guys here's my quick take on a few cables I bought from Lunashops mainly for my 6xx. First I bought the 16 core mix copper/silver cable. Next I bought the 8 core solid gold cable, and finally I bought the 16 core silver plated cable. All in 1.6m. So after some major listening sessions. I...
