As the title says, I'm looking for a pair of portable over-ears with reasonably good isolation that I can use while commuting and at work. Price isn't a serious concern, since it seems like there aren't any summit-fi phones in this category anyways. Until recently, I think the Oppo PM-3 would've...

I just got my pair of RE-400s earlier today, and I have quite a few thoughts on them. First of all, I have been using a pair of Hifiman HE-500s for daily at-home listening, and Hifiman RE-0s for on-the-go; but since the latter broke, I was in the market for a new pair of IEMs. Coming from the...

I really like the way the RE-400s measure compared to any other IEM in the price range, so after some hemming and hawing I just bit the bullet and ordered a pair. I read that they recently changed the strain relief on the connector, so we'll see if that improves the build quality any. Thanks for...

  I've also read some very positive things about the RHA MA750, I think they rank pretty high on my list of considerations so far.

My go-to pair of Hifiman RE-0s just died, so it looks like I'm in the market for another pair of IEMs. If I'm looking for an accurate, linear-ish sound for classical, vocal music, and metal; what's the best I could do for under $150? I've been eyeballing the Hifiman RE-400s, but the many...

Sure, message me and we can talk.

What's the build quality like on the RE-400? The left channel on my pair of RE-0s just went out and I don't want to be stuck with another ticking timebomb from Hifiman.

Thanks! The Complyfoams look like a good match for these phones, I'll have to pick up a pair.

Anybody have opinions on what the best (readily available) replacement tips are for the RE-0? I've mostly used the smaller stock bi-flanges that come with them, but they tend to fall out of my ears and recently have gotten so worn out that they fall off the earphones. I've looked at some threads...

  So even when the EQ is flat, there is a hidden bass boost baked in?

I had a hell of a time finding a frequency response plot for any Schiit products - mainly the Magni, since that's what I was interested in purchasing. I finally found one measured by a third party that demonstrated it was flat as a ruler. I would've thought Schiit would take more pride in this...

I own a pair of Isoacoustics stands and I couldn't be happier with them.  My purpose for integrating them into my setup was twofold: First, to get rid of any unwanted vibrations transferred from the speaker to my crappy Ikea desk; and second, I have them adjusted to point the tweeters at my...

I would like to take this moment to thank you all for being paragons of sanity in the often wildly misguided world of HiFi.  I can only stomach reading so many recommendations for tube amps and $500 cables, or 6moons reviews describing my headphones as being "dark and chewy" before my brain...

I should note, I think the tool is broken for windows 8 so I wouldn't give it much credence in that instance.

I just posted on this issue with my Modi here (I eventually fixed it by using a powered USB hub): http://www.head-fi.org/t/640785/schiit-modi-usb-dac/510#post_10702806   I would first start by downloading this tool: http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml   And looking for latency...
